Forums >General Running>I'm locked in quarantine. Need advice on which treadmill to buy in Amazon Italy
Intl. correspondent
Hello everyone,
I'm in Italy and at the moment and running outside is against the law.
Could any of the people who know/use a treadmills offer me some advice on which model is best?
Treadmills on Amazon Italy
I'm considering the possibility of purchasing a treadmill so I can keep at least a bit of sanity.
I'd like to know (From that listing on the link provided) which is the best cost benefit, also which is the least likely to fail. If it fails on me my money is down the drain since there will be no repair until the crisis is gone, rendering the purchase useless.
Thanks a lot in advance

If you get one of this style you'll never have to worry about electronic timers. I've heard they're a little challenging to figure out, and can be a little more of a workout.

Many of us aren't sure what the hell point you are trying to make and no matter how we guess, it always seems to be something else. Which usually means a person is doing it on purpose.
