The Best Treadmills Under $1000, Selected by Editors and Marathoners

For $800, NordicTrack’s T-Series 6.5S may be one of the best treadmills on this list. If you don’t believe us, mozy on over to the reviews section on Amazon, where the T-Series 6.5S boasts a 4.3-star rating out of 33,600 (yes, for real) reviews. The set up is simple enough, with great, clear instructions, but will definitely take some time. Be sure to set aside a few hours for this process.

I personally really like the basic design of the screen and display, where everything is clear to operate. This is no-frills on the surface, just a solid machine that will get the job done. It’s powered by a three-horsepower motor, which is on the high-end for the price, supports users up to 300 pounds. No matter the size, the machine works powerfully and quietly, which is a big deal when it comes to any at-home cardio machine.

This NordicTrack, as with all NordicTrack products, comes with a free 30-day trial to iFit, NordicTrack’s streaming service. In keeping with the low-tech vibe of the 6.5S, you need a tablet or smartphone to stream your iFit classes. Or if it’s located in your living room, streaming on your television is a great option.

The treadmill folds up easily for easy storage. The warranty isn’t bad, either, for the price: 10-year frame, two-year parts, and one-year labor. Like most treadmills on this list, this model lacks the ritzy features that come with shelling out more dough. Some runners may find the 10% incline and 10mph top speed underwhelming (more power to you). Also, the 55-inch running deck is right on the cusp of what we’d consider “short”. If you’re over six feet and run at a fast clip, you may—may—find that you have to adjust your stride.
