This is probably unhelpful (please disregard), but I'm curious if you have considered rowing?

It is actually my sister so tge requirement is from her.
It's going to depend on your use case.
Are you just looking to do walking? If so it might be worth considering a walking pad - they're more portable and stowable, you can set it up in front of a TV or a desk with your tablet on it with a stand. Good if you just want to get some steps in or to use at a standing desk and that sort of thing.
If you're looking for the option to jog or run or you want to have incline settings then a treadmill is the way to go. The most important considerations here are tread length and horsepower (generally speaking the higher the horsepower, the longer your treadmill will last.)
Also try to stick to regular recommended maintenance, especially if you're using either regularly.

Yes, this is primary use case. I though they all call treadmill. Do you have few brands/model recommend? I dont want to buy a ramdom bramd on Amazon and broken in a few uses.

Thanks for the tips.
I'm in some other English-speaking shithole halfway around the world from you so I don't have any brands that I'd be able to suggest unfortunately.
