Many people make the mistake of choosing the "cheapest" treadmill to save a dollar or two. But, as they say, you get what you pay for.
The type of motor and belt is an important feature on a treadmill. If a belt is too narrow will not support you properly. Try out the machine if possible or one very much like it if at all possible.
The type of incline and the percentage of the incline will affect your workout and the impact on your joints. Many treadmills have adjustable inclines so that as you progress you can increase the slant to where you are walking like you would on a steep hill. The speed, how fast the belt moves, should be adjustable as well. What is the minimum and maximum speed? Knowing this will help you plan your workout and make it more effective.
