I've been on the NordicTrak from Costco for a year now and really like it. The heartbeat monitor (via hand grip) is not good, but as far as the treadmill itself, it's been smooth and problem free (knock on wood). -Kirt aka Skidders

I agree with everyone on here who say's look for a good deal on a used one. I had a nordic trac for serveral years and it was wonderful last year it finally died so I looked in the local paper and found someone selling a treadmill from smooth fitness http://www.smoothfitness.com/treadmills/ I had never heard of this brand before so I looked it up and these treadmills are custome made for each individuals needs, the person selling theirs had paid $1,400.00 had used it 7 months and was now moving and needed to unload the thing... I bought it for $200.00 it is a great machine, not noisey like most treadmills, pretty compact and easy too maintain... I have not had a bit of trouble out of it since buying it over a year ago.

I have a treadmill from Vision Fitness http://home.visionfitness.com/treadmills/. I have been very happy with it. I purchased about 5 years ago and it broke in the spring. I received a full replacement at no cost from the manufacturer. It is a very reliable piece of equipment.
