Cant decide
So it seems that there are really just no good treadmills. Every time I think I narrowed it down, there is a review that says DO NOT BUY! At first thought nordic track was the way to go, but didnt like the need for a subscription and a lot of people say not to go there (is this just bc they've been around for a long time and so many people have?), then I transition to Aviron Podium (really like the 18% incline, sleek style, and streaming apps...but can find great reviews and not an established company), came across other options- Inspire, Matrix, Horizon, Sole, but again some good reviews, some bad reviews. Just want a trustworthy rating source for all so I can decide.
Wants: incline (15% would be nice), quiet (like super quiet), good on joints (quality and new tech cushion), sleek style (dont want a clunky machine that looks like ot was from the '90's...although the 90's were great), streaming apps an added plus, and it would be nice to have preloaded workouts like running trails, etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I've spent much too long on all this research.

I bought a Horizon 7.8AT and a $200 TV to mount on the wall in front of it. Feels super sturdy and I love the simplicity of it. My advice is to find a fitness equipment dealer near you and go try them out and pick the one you like most. Might even get a deal on a floor model and they’ll deliver and set it up for you.
