You should get a suppressor rated HIGHER than the wattage needed for your Treadmill or it will be tripping constantly! You can put the wattage into this calculator to convert to joules per second. I suspect 1120 is way way too low! Treadmill motors may well need more. Check the wattage rating required for your Treadmill.

The higher the joule rating, the larger a spike it can soak up, and ~1100 isn't a shabby rating for something like protecting a treadmill from lightning strikes. BTW, coffee machines and toasters don't generally need a surge suppressor, though I guess a $300 gourmet machine might merit one. Any surge protector will work with any equipment.
