What is the best budget treadmill?

Best budget treadmill for most people: the Horizon Fitness T101. It’s usually the safest first pick because it balances price, a full-size feel, walking/jogging capability, and a reputation as a dependable entry-level home treadmill better than ultra-cheap compact models.

If you mainly want a low-cost walking pad for under a desk or small apartment, choose the UREVO 2-in-1 Under Desk Treadmill instead. If you want the cheapest decent folding treadmill for light walking, look at the Sunny Health & Fitness SF-T4400.
