Quick verdict
First decide whether you'll walk or run: to walk and spend little, the Gadnic manual folding; for the most complete use (walk and run with a motor and adjustable speed), the Randers ARG-308 is the most balanced; and to run seriously, the Randers ARG-409 at 12 km/h.
What to look for before buying
- Manual or motorized — You power the manual one with your stride: it's cheaper, cordless and fine for walking, but not for running and it tires you differently. The motorized one has a motor that moves the belt at the speed you choose: it's the one for jogging and running, with adjustable speed and sometimes incline. If you want to run, you need motorized.
- Top speed (km/h) — It defines whether it's for walking, jogging or running. Up to ~6 km/h is walking; 8-10 km/h allows jogging; 12 km/h or more, serious running. Don't pay for 16 km/h if you'll walk, but don't come up short if you want to run.
- Motor power (HP) — On motorized ones, more HP = it moves the belt with more weight on it without straining and lasts longer. For home walking/jogging, 1.5-2.5 HP is enough; if you'll run often or weigh more, more power performs better and the motor fatigues less.
- Folding and size — A treadmill takes up a lot of space. Being foldable (the deck lifts and stands vertical) and having wheels to move it is key if you live in an apartment or don't have a dedicated room. Check the folded and unfolded dimensions before buying.
- Deck surface and weight capacity — A wider, longer deck is more comfortable and safer, especially for running (the faster you go, the more margin you need). And check the maximum supported weight: it should have room to spare relative to yours so the motor and frame don't strain.

Frequently asked
Manual or motorized treadmill?
It depends on whether you'll walk or run. You power the manual one with your leg movement: it's cheaper, needs no outlet and is fine for a relaxed walk, but not for running and the feel is different (harder to get going). The motorized one has a motor that moves the deck at the speed you choose, with speed controls and sometimes incline: it's the one you need to jog or run, and the most comfortable for serious training. To walk and spend little, manual; for everything else, motorized.
What speed and power do I need?
Go by your goal. If it's walking, up to 6-8 km/h and a 1.5-2 HP motor is enough. To jog, look for 8-10 km/h and 2-2.5 HP. And to run seriously, 12 km/h or more and as much power as possible. Mind the max supported weight: it should be comfortable relative to yours (for example, if you weigh 90 kg, look for one that supports 110-120 kg) so the motor and frame work with room to spare and last longer.
Does it fit in an apartment?
Yes, if it folds. Many home treadmills fold (the deck lifts to nearly vertical) and have wheels to move and store them against a wall or under furniture. Check the folded and unfolded dimensions in the listing, and that you have the free space to use it (besides the storage spot). Manual ones tend to be more compact; big motorized ones, bulkier.
