How We Tested Treadmills
By Jeremy Benson, Laura Casner Thursday November 3, 2022 After researching the best treadmills on the market, we purchased a diverse selection of 8 and tested each model for an extended period. To differentiate between them, we chose six performance metrics: exercise quality, user interface/ease of use, features, ease of assembly, storability, and noise level.

With a 55" x 20" tread surface, a 10 mph top speed, and up to 10% incline, it should work for most people and workout intensities, though super hardcore runners may be left a little wanting. The folding tread deck has FlexSelect cushioning that lets you choose between impact absorption or a firm surface, and it has a 300-pound weight limit.
