ProForm is the leading seller of budget treadmills. They dominate the market and can be found in major retailers. Proform should be your best choice if you have a limited budget.

However there are a few things that should be taken into consideration while choosing Proform crosswalk 425 treadmill.

1.3 CHP motor is a small motor that does not offer a great deal of power and will probably strain if you kick up the speed or incline. Ideally you should have a 2 CHP motor for a walking treadmill. Both the height and length of the treadbelt should have been more if they are to be used by a tall person. How ever the deck is well cushioned and the console is user friendly.

If you are on a budget and looking for a good budget brand, this could be your choice.
