The tape measures are certainly one of the fundamental elements to be taken into consideration to arrive at a good choice.

Moreover, if the intention is to make simple fast walks, the length of the tape can stop at 130 cm. Instead, it extends up to 170-190 cm depending on the maximum speed reached during the run and the height of the user.
Another important peculiarity is the engine power. Professional machines are equipped with AC motors, while those for home fitness have DC motors because they are easier to manage and maintain in the event of breakdowns. In general, it is advisable to opt for a motor with power between at least 1.5 Hp and 2.0 Hp.
On the market there are also cheaper models of treadmills, with a “manual” push: these are the so-called magnetic treadmills. Even if sold at a much lower price than the electric ones, it is important to keep in mind that their use is more tiring than an electric model.

An aspect that can have a significant impact on the purchase of the equipment is of course its overall cost. Yet there is no need to worry too much. The proposed models are numerous and guarantee high-level performance, even if at a low price.
To save money without having unpleasant surprises it is sufficient to keep an eye on offers, promotions and discounts available. Furthermore, if you are not a real champion and your daily training sessions are still at a basic level … why buy a full-service carpet? It will be rich in comfort, but storage compartments, super sophisticated consoles, MP3 inputs or USB sticks and built-in fans are accessories that can be dispensed with and that dramatically increase the final price of the product.
One last note: if you want to save some extra money, it is better to use magnetic carpets . Since they are not equipped with an internal motor, they have a much lower price than their electric alternative. Obviously, the services offered are also minor.
