    According to consumer reports the best treadmills are:

    Vision Fitness T9200 Simple

    NordicTrack S1900

    Bowflex 7-Series

    However, if you are an avid runner, they recommend:

    Landice L7 Series Pro Sports Trainer

    NordicTrack S3000

    SportsArt TR32

    True PS300

    For total fitness, an ellipttical machine would be a better choice. An elliptical machine provides upper body motion in addition to lower. It still gives a good cardiac workout, will burn more calories in a shorter period of time (due to the arm motion) and it is low impact so it is much kinder to your joints. In case you are interested, the two recommended by consumer reports are:

    Schwinn 418

    Precor EFX 5.19
