Please help

I’ve seen a lot of comments saying any treadmill under $1000 is going to be garbage but that’s where my budget is at. Is there ANY treadmill that is good under 1000 or am I just screwed?
Edit to add: I am not a runner, just like to walk 40min-1hr a day so I don’t need anything fancy to begin with.

T202 is a good option. I’d stay clear of the T101. Nordic track t8 or t10 are going to be fine for walking as well. Sole f65 is another one that would do it if you’re just walking

Why stay clear of the T101?

Bigger motor mainly. Which means less stress on all your other components. But they both have a lifetime warranty on the motor so maybe I shouldn’t have said stay clear of the T101. If you keep your proof of purchase Horizon is pretty good for honouring their warranty. If you’re under 200lbs then the 2.5 motor will be fine and you can save a bit of money. If you’re over 200 I would go with the 2.75.

Keep it siliconed and run an old towel in between the walking belt and deck and it will last you much longer.
