Important!
This machine may not be right for you IF:
1. Your body weight exceeds 250 pounds (because the maximum user weight of this treadmill is 250 pounds)
2. The span between the outer periphery of your 2 feet is greater than 12 inches (check the span as you stand with your feet spaced apart for normal walking), since the walking surface of the treadmill is only 13.5 inches wide
Need a manual treadmill with wider walking surface?
Take a look at Stamina InMotion II Manual Treadmill which has a walking surface width of 17 inches.
Review by an Amazon Customer:
"I decided recently due to the cold weather that I would try to find an inexpensive manual treadmill. I really didn't want to spend much over $100,so I knew my options were limited. I happen to come across this treadmill, read the reviews and decided to go ahead and order it. I'm glad I did, despite the several negative comments. First off, it arrived in less than a week. And it was surprisingly simple to assemble..plus no household tools needed. Assembled in about 15 minutes. Easily folded up and easily transportable from room to room if needed. NO issues with the belt at all,sturdy, and easy to walk on,OR jog! I think it's the PERFECT little treadmill and I highly recommend it!" -- P. jaffe

Is the above manual treadmill right for you?
We presume that you know what you really want when you decide to buy a manual treadmill instead of a motorized machine. As a matter of fact, one should never compare a manual treadmill directly with a motorized one since the price differential is so huge -- a basic motorized treadmill costs at least 2 to 3 times more money than a manual machine, and the more advanced motorized treadmill can cost 10 to 20 times (or higher) more!
Just in case you change your mind and prefer to get a motorized version, have a look at our list of cheap treadmills and see if any of them fit your budget.
