If you're buying a motorized treadmill for your home, you want it to be safe and durable. And you wouldn't mind getting a good price, too.
Treadmills are among the most popular exercise machines.
A lot of people use them in health clubs, but those are professional models. Testers checked the machines for safety and found some machines started or stopped abruptly. On others, the placement of the motor housing was a potential problem. And on another machine the narrowness of the foot rails was a concern. That machine had an even more serious safety problem.
