    Look for the max speed, first off.

    No point in buying something you can only briskly walk on if you want to run. Ususally the better the treadmill, the higher the top speed.

    My daughter was going to buy a secondhand treadmill for 300 but ended up buying one Argos it was priced for over€1000 but she got it for €475 on special offer. Way better off than buying secondhand.

    If you're buying new, bear in mind these things are always 50% off somewhere or at some time.

    Also, I know you didn't ask for advice on this, but are you already in to fitness or are you buying a threadmill in the hope you'll use it?
    They're expensive, and using them is boring and exhausting. Much better ways to spend the money if you want to improve your fitness.
