What treadmill do you recommend that is "solid" but doesn't break the bank. I see a lot of inexpensive ones online but I worry they'll fall apart or just feel flimsy. There are also a category that looks awesome but are close to $4,000.

Appreciate the help!

Without going too cheap, but not going too crazy I really enjoyed my Bowflex tread when I had it. It is comparable to this BXT8K model at Best Buy for $999: Bowflex Tread

Sole F63 has been very good so far in the 6 months I have had it.

I'm a big fan of the Sole F63. I put about 5k miles on one before it burned out. I'm on my second one now.

I would get a SOLE, but with no bells and whistles.

Yep. One of the Sole treadmills is your answer.

X2. This is what we have in the basement/workout dungeon and it's been great for the 9 months we've had it. Great incline and has stood up to multi-hour runs without issue.

I had a Sole years ago and no issues with it, used it 10-20 miles a week with some long runs of 13-15 miles (did I mention I hate treadmills and stationary bikes/trainers now?). No complaints about it and it was less than $1500

Just purely out of curiosity, does anyone here own a high-end commercial-grade treadmill ($7k+)?

In my clinics we have commercial Matrix T7 I believe, but we also have an old Landice L7 I prefer every day of the week. Much less space required and is a workhorse that never needs to be messed with.

We have a Landice L7 that new might get close to 7k. It's a beast, my wife wants a woodway just bc. I told her she has to break the landice first.

I have a commercial Life Fitness treadmill. I purchased it refurbished. It's an awesome treadmill. Current Life Fitness treadmills I believe use the same motor and mechanical portion with updated electronics (than what mine has).
