Could you recommend a treadmill for home? I would like to buy one for my parents, so they can do their morning walk routine at home amisdt this pandemic. I treat this as an investment, so walking becomes a habit for everyone at home.

I have the same question.
Also since I am buying one for my parents, I am confused whether I should buy a manual treadmill or automatic one?
I am worried automatic treadmill might be risky for elders. Also, another problem with automatic treadmills is that their motors sometimes die and if the brand doesn't have a replacement you are stuck with a dead treadmill that your mother now uses for drying clothes 😅

I would suggest that you invest on a cross-trainer instead. Battery operated dashboards are the simplest. Flywheels lasts a long time with very low maintenance

Where could I buy those? Can I buy them online? Any links?

Easiest one which came to mind - Decathlon. I would suggest that you ask your parents to execute a trial at a local store before you purchase.

Thanks for your suggestions. Saw a paper ad, I walked into a FitnessOne showroom and experienced a trial on the model HT 72i. They had a discount running for Independence Day and I bought one at 31k. Preferred as I have a showroom nearby and also their wonderful hospitality.
