Any idea which of these Treadmills is better?

OnlyWayIsUp

Looking to buy a treadmill for use at home and I'm not really sure what I need to be looking out for. Hope to use it to walk/run to build up fitness and lose a few lbs.

I've come across these two Treadmills in Elverys and Argos so I'm looking for a bit of info from those that might know about these things as to which Treadmill might be the better one... or if there are any others out there that are better then these two?!

Treadmills can be very prone to breaking down. Make sure you get good support.
