How we compiled this
Ten models independently re-verified against official manufacturer pages (nordictrack.com, onepeloton.com, soletreadmills.com/solefitnessstore.com, horizonfitness.com, bowflex.com, echelonfit.com, proform.com), major retailers (wellbots.com, johnsonfitness.com, abt.com, rcwilley.com, lowes.com, academy.com), and independent reviews (barbend.com, treadmillreviewguru.com, treadmillreviews.net, garagegymreviews.com). priceUsd = US MSRP / published list price as of access date; observed sale prices noted in priceNote. Motor HP = manufacturer-published CHP where disclosed (Bowflex Treadmill 10 does not publish this, kept null). folding is boolean (true = SpaceSaver/Auto-Fold/equivalent). touchscreen_in is null for LCD/LED-readout consoles that are not touchscreens. Corrections this pass: ProForm Carbon Pro 9000 min_incline_pct -3→0 (the current Carbon Pro 9000 has NO decline; the -3% decline belonged to the prior 'Pro 9000' generation, per treadmillreviewguru and proform.com), and Carbon Pro 9000 priceUsd 1799→1999 (the official MSRP is $1,999; $1,799/$1,599 are common sale prices).
