TREADMILL Which one is better ? Roller or Board.

[deba]

Dear All,

I am planning to buy a manual treadmill (walker), any idea which one will be better as some models are fitted with rollers and some have a flat board on which there is a belt.

Which one will be long lasting and trouble free, Board or Roller?

Any suggestion and guidance from actual users will be highly appreciated. Please note that I do not want to go for motorized treadmill.

Thanks in advance.

I had a manual treadmill and believe me it is no good. It would stress your knees and would be very painful. You need to apply a lot of pressure to keep it moving. I had roller based one and if it is not used for couple of months, you need to grease it thoroughly before you can use it. I sold it for less that half price I had bought. Did you try out the manual one?

I had a manual treadmill and have used it for 5 years but its not in working condition now hence I am looking for a new one, most are Chinese made and has limited usable life.

Best treadmill are your own legs. You can stop whenever you want. No investment, no mechanical failure and no space occupation.

Only caveat is that one should have the space to go for a small jogging.
