Finally a review that actually plays the sound even if it is for a few seconds. Also, you mention that it can trip the circuit breaker in the same video. I just came across one little blurb about that in a video that was separate from the other parts of the review. These are actual things to consider when trying to determine how this would fit into a person's actual day. It would be unfair to not be able to take these things into consideration. For me, I would need to use this thing in the northern winter months before and/or after work and not when a lot of electricity is being used in my building, so early mornings and late night. It is still worth it for me based on these things because I don't get to get outside so much and it isn't safe when I can. However, I am only now concerned about the walking space. I walk with my feet so wide for some reason lol. I love the quilt by the way!
I loved your review. The cons you outlined prompted me to think about things I would not have otherwise considered.
Thanks for watching! Glad to hear it was helpful ☺️
Thank you for your review. It really helped me to choose the standing desk and the walking pad.
nice thorough review! THANK YOU for mentioning the noise... very few reviews mention what they really sound like while in use.
Glad to hear it was helpful! Thanks for watching ☺️
Fantastic review, best one on here by far, really helpful, thank you.
Thanks Sarah! You always do the best reviews. The biggest con to me was how heavy it is. I have a great sit/stand desk with a small exercise bike underneath. It’s ok but your setup is much better! Will definitely think about it.
Thank you! And an under desk bike sounds pretty cool too!
thank you for the thorough review. appreciate it
This was a pretty helpful review. The walking treadmill was not something I considered until after having received a standing desk from my spouse half a year ago and some exposure to handleless treadmills in social media clips recently. My remote job keeps me otherwise sedentary and my remote studies are an accomplice. This looks like a good long term solution to those issues and I am grateful for both your experience with this particular treadmill (as I happen to wishlist it yesterday) and your prior experience with them in your former work space.
How was your experience in initially adopting its use for productivity and do you have any athletic history that would have allowed you to cope with the practice better than someone who has not worked out at all or in a while?
Great review! I bought one on Amazon from Bigzzia brand for £165. It was good but had some drawbacks, mostly around storage and manouverability. So I paid £322 for a WalkingPad brand entry-level (6km/h top speed) purely for the folding feature and ease of hiding away. It's coming tomorrow and I'm super excited!
Awesome! I hope you enjoy! Thanks for watching :)
This is the kind of review I was looking for! And a lot of people kind of miss the niche market they can benefit from these in spades. My job is a 9 to 18 hour a day, sit-down job.. because I'm a truck driver. A portable treadmill that weighs under a hundred pounds would be amazing. And honestly, for my needs, I think your review just sold me on this completely. So Thank you so much!
So glad to hear it was helpful!!
How are you going to use it while driving? 🤨🤨🤨
Thank you, this was a very helpful review. We have a full sized treadmill that is over 20 years old and still works, but we are considering getting rid of that to clear up some space in the house. We need to decide whether anyone will run or not, so as to get something like the S1 (max 3.7 mph) vs something like the R1 (max 6 mph). Thank you for this video.
Great review, thank you!
Interesting review and information about walking desks generally. I haven't succumbed yet. I do basic dance steps to get moving; salsa and rumba mostly, but spiced up with a bit of samba, cha cha cha and charleston. I'm also wondering about balance boards.
The content you provided is very valuable to me.
I am not used to so much of upspeak so it is hard for me to focus on what your are saying.
In the market- You covered the experience of using one while working which is omitted by various other reviews. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Great objective review, appreciate it.
Great review. Where did you buy those adjustable white desk ? did it come with the treadmill?
FWIW, my bare-bones Sperax is under 45 lbs. It's still an awkward shape to move around easily. I did give some thought to the thing's significant power draw, mainly because I had to use an extension cord. I work in tech, with power, so I'm a bit conservative about such matters. I don't know what else might be on the circuit breaker feeding the pad, but I have not blown a breaker.
I just got myself one and am excited to do a review!
have you liked it?
@@LatinoGames yes, and I have been keeping track on a spreadsheet. I’ll be doing a review on my channel soon.
@@fitfatbrittrny Lets see it!
I have same treadmill. To reduce Noise from rubber you need to put oil in it more.
That whole tripping of the circuit thing is nuts - I’m from the U.K. and when I spent some time in America it was something I encountered quite often. From what I understand it’s a consequence of you guys using 120v and the way your circuits are wired…it drove me nuts. This is something we just don’t have to think about over here with our 240v system….I’d have to do something really extreme to overload the circuit in my house.
I know it's very frustrating!
All of the cons you mentioned are specific to the model you bought. I personally don't have any of those problems with my model which was half the price of your model. I was also tempted to get the foldable one but then the one I have has wheels on the heavy side (head) which makes it as easy as lifting and pushing or pulling to move it around. Much less noisier than the foldable one and never had a power surge problem with it and honestly, it's much prettier (dark oak frame which matches with my hardwood floor; they have lighter wood frames too). Oh forgot to mention the brand name: Maksone. Full discloser though: I have had it only for a week but some of the problems you mentioned are the ones they should be revealed immediately, like the noise or the convenience in storing or moving them. It is heavy though (not sure if heaver than the foldable one or not). My only issue with it initially was fine tuning the belt shifting left or right which eventually was fixed but it took me a few tries. Hope this is useful.
Glad to hear you found a model you like! I will take a look into this one!
@@MissSarahEK Thank you for your respectful response. Not all the TH-camrs like comments that are even slightly criticizing their content or, God forbid, say something slightly different. Kudos to you for showing such maturity. You found yourself a new fan :)
Which model did you go for please @hamidnikbakht1295? I'm currently researching and keen to make sure I go for a good model. I recently bought a VERY noisy one and sent it back. It was very cheap so I think I need to go for a mid-range model. Thank you :-)
The first thing I noticed was the flex in the treadmill when your weight is on its rear edge. Then you mentioned the circuit breaker issue. These things may be related.
In order for the treadmill to go at a steady pace, it's motor has to run at a constant speed, so the electric current will fluctuate as resistances change. The flex in the treadmill might be applying extra tension on the belt, which then requires a surge of electric current to keep the motor going. I think the manufacturer's manual recommends making sure the treadmill is on a flat surface and not a soft mat or carpet. Solving the flex may fix the electric issue, but will also definitely prolong the life of the motor, belt and rear shaft and bearings.
I got the same treadmill a few days ago and I'm loving it, btw.
Oh interesting, thanks for the comment and the tips! Glad you are enjoying your treadmill so far!
@@MissSarahEK There are little feet that unscrew to adjust the height if on an uneven floor. Play with that and push down on the end of the treadmill to see if you can reduce that flex.
solid review
Thanks for this video . Very helpful
Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching 🙂
For anyone wondering about the power consumption on this thing, it's about 1000watts, which is insane and sadly all treadmills this type consume that much power.
But, it's 1000 watts at top speed. At lesser speeds the power consumption is almost linear. For example if it's 1000 watts at 10km/h, at 5km/h it's about 500 watts, which makes it tolerable. Also 1hp is 750watts.
Veteran Treadmill Tip: Dont keep your home treadmill plugged in unless your or someone is using it.
@@mucho160 I doubt that it consumes more than a couple of watts when idle.
@@mucho160 My lifespan treadmill automatically goes into idle mode after about 10 minutes of inactivity. I doubt it uses much power in that state.
@@stathiskefalasit probably uses nothing to 1w when idle.
Love from India!!
nice video - where did you get that white storage unit with the shelves?
Hi Sarah! Thank you for the review. What are your thoughts now after having the treadmill for a few months? Are you still using it? Any new-founded pros/cons?
Yes I still use it daily! I haven't found any additional pros/cons from what I shared :)
Nice review. Thank you.
Thank you! I’m glad it was helpful ☺️
It is so nice that it folds in half. So nice.
6:14 You should consider getting a manual or magnetic treadmill. But... I heard that they are a bit harder to walk on and have a curve which also makes it harder.
Hi Sarah, great review.
I have a quick question as I'm considering to get one, and I'm debating to get the 3mph one, vs the 6mph one. Do you ever actually use it above 3 mph while it's under your desk? I was considering 3mph is good enough for a light walk and work at the same time, anything above that won't it be hard to focus on work, and may be using the computer is more challenging at higher speeds right? With that logic, I'm thinking the 3mph one will be sufficient, right? or will I regret not buying the 6mph one?
If it helps, I liked me 6mph one because I could do some of the HIIT treadmill exercises that require you to increase up to a light run - but I never used it above 2-2.5mph when using it under the desk or just in front of the TV.
IF you can afford it, great to have the option and go for higher mph. That being said, I downgraded to 3mph max speed and don't regret it.
Hey thanks for the video. Have you been using the faster speed for running? I'm not sure I'd actually use that. Figured I'd just probably run outside.
Thanks for watching! Personally I haven’t really used it for running because I also prefer to run outside when I can and I have access to another treadmill in my building right now. I wanted to have it as an option though for my apartment!
If you don’t need the higher speeds, you can definitely save money with one that only has walking speeds.
I love mine! Also, for people thinking about it, check your health insurance. I have MVP and they reimburse for health related purchases.
Ooh good to know!!
What height do you have to set your standing desk to so that with the treadmill it's comfortable?
if you're plugging it in to a socket that is already using other electronicss then that is probably why you're having breaker issues, try having a dedicated socket for only the treadmill
RE electricity. Try NOT placing it on a rug. Rugs cut down air circulation and will cause motor to strain and overheat. Try a flat floor or build a plywood surface to place over your rug.
I'm not aware of any treadmill that vents through the bottom...
@@DrewLSsix this one does
Have you kept using the treadmill? Has it held up or have you found value in it past the month you tried it?
Love mine alot.❤
A recumbent bike is my favorite. I get lost in it. Wish I watched this before getting the treadmill. It's 3.8 mph max.
Wow, thanks for the tip about the electrical. 900W in a room that already has all of my computer equipment is going to be quite taxing. Maybe I'll run an extension cord from my bathroom.
Glad it was helpful!
Great review, many thanks - what is the adjustable desk you're using - looks awesome?
Thanks! It’s from the brand Automomous! Basically it was the least expensive fully adjustable large L-shape standing desk I could find :)
@@MissSarahEK Many thanks!
@@Mcglocklingirls Im late but I have the same desk as her, and I love it. No issues at all in actual use.
Only complaint is it sucks to put together, but thats a one time thing
@@x18dicekx Many thanks - I just bought one and put it together, and I can concur! Putting it together felt like half a day's work!
Great review. I bought one of those bootleg treadmills off some random fb ad. Here’s hoping it works.
You look pretty.
Thank you for the noise sensory perspective. What was the slowest pace? I'm considering for a child to use at their desk when gaming. Cheers
Thanks for watching! For the model I have, the slowest speed is 0.5mph.
Great video! Is there a standing desk that you recommend?
I have one from the brand Autonomous! It was a pain to put together, but I like it!
Thanks for the review. I have a question regarding the connection with Apple Health or Apple Fitness. Are the activities synchronized with Apple Health? How reliably does this work? I'm guessing the Apple Watch won't track steps when working at the desk, but would like to have my progress recorded. Thank you!
You’re right that the Apple Watch doesn’t seem to accurately track steps when you are working at a desk. There is a walking pad app though that syncs with apple health! It’s sometimes a bit finicky (I’ve had to disconnect and reconnect it a few times when it randomly stop syncing) but otherwise it works pretty well!
The fact that it's tripping your breaker is very odd. It should not be using that much wattage. The screenshot shows the voltage, 110 in the US very standard. It's the wattage that equals energy used, that will trip your circut breaker if it's excessive.
Hmm, yeah I don’t know too much about electricity, but it was a pretty big problem for me when I first got it anyway.
Did you experience problem with static after 1hour of walking?
Thank you for this great video Sarah. I just bought a treadmill desk and I kinda love it but I never thought about the voltage factor! It now has me so worried. I have a question that might alleviate some fear, when it says AC110V for instance, are they usually indicative of how much electrical pressure they're usually pushing through conduits at the HIGHEST speed/settings? I can easily imagine always having mine at .5mph when 4mph is it's max speed. Will this make any difference?
The 110V is constant regardless of the motor speed. The one you look at is the wattage. Normally the wattage on the label is the peak value - that means the highest speed the motor will run. If you only use about half the max speed, the wattage goes down to also about half, thus less power consumption.
great vid
So I’m just trying to figure out if I need to purchase an adjustable standing desk versus getting just an adjustable lap top stand for my current desk. My question for you is, do you find you need to rest your arms on your desk while using it the walking pad? Like it’s more comfortable and will keep you moving longer? I don’t know if I really want to invest more into a standing desk after purchasing the walking pad. They’re not cheap. At least $150+ for a basic one on Amazon. So just looking for your opinion. TIA. And thanks for this review.
I'd really like to know what is with your laptop keys on 8.11. Are they made from jelly?
My work requires a lot of typing, not meetings, so I'm curious about how easy it is to type while using the treadmill. How was your balance? Did you find that you typed as efficiently while using the treadmill as you did while not using it. In general, did you find an cons to your productivity while using the treadmill?
Personally I find it easy to type! I think it's easier to focus while walking vs. sitting, and I can be productive while walking. The only thing I have trouble with is writing with a pen or meetings (because of the noise).
hey i don't know if you did this, but you did not mention it in this review.. so if you didn't maybe this tip helps with the noise of the walking pad while using it. In the manual it says before you are first using it you need to lubricate the tread like described in the manual with the oil that comes with it. Also you have to repeat to lubricate it after some time using it again and again. So it can run quietly. Not saying you did not do it and it is maybe someting else, but if you did not know, maybe it betters your sound problem with it. So I read it is strongly recommended to use it on a hard ground and not a soft one. Maybe it would improve the noise or possible overheating a little bit by using one of those hard floor mats on top of your rug. Maybe it is not as good as a wood flooring or something like this, but makes a more even and hard surface, where heat can better dissipate under it. I really liked your review and it confirmed my choice to buy this thing (exactly the one you have) yesterday. I am waiting for it to be delivered and am really excited about this :)
Thanks for watching! This is definitely a great thing to flag :)
I have used the lubrication on the tread before, but this is a good reminder I should do it again soon 😆. I think part of the noise is the friction between my feet and the tread (not from the treadmill rotating), so I'm not sure how much it would reduce the noise from that though.
I have it now on a hard surface now that I've moved into a new apartment. I didn't notice a huge change in noise after I moved, but now I don't have to worry about it putting an indentation on my carpet which it did in my old place.
I hope you enjoy your new walking pad!!
Which one did you have in your office? This one sounded rather squeaky.
NOTE: This product works exactly as described. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxguEIMc_Qwab-3QMTpF6jaRL80hiOOsIN It originally earned a four-star review due to a minor defect (see below). However, the manufacturer's customer service rep (Lita) went above and beyond the call of duty and deserves five stars now. I wish I could give even more!I purchased this item which arrived quickly. Assembly instructions were easy to follow. There was only one problem: One bolt did not screw into the hole properly. I called the company. Their customer service rep (Lita) was terrific! She took all my information and submitted a request to replace the defective part. I'm hoping to finish assembly and start using this treadmill soon. (Fingers crossed...)FOLLOW UP: Lita called back to inform me that the company will send a replacement part AND a technician(!!) to install it properly. AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE!! Thank you!!
I think the electricity and issue with you socket is not a cons, you just need to read the power consumptions and check with your electrician. I think its a pretty basic when your buying any electric type appliance or machine.
Hmm ok…I don’t think most people think about that (I certainly didn’t because I’ve never had that issue before and don’t have an electrician I’ve ever had to use). Also this is personally the worst issue I’ve had with it so definitely a con for me. Glad you are top of that though!
Have you had any issues with having it on carpet? I’ve seen some sellers and reviewers of other treadmills say that they can’t be on carpet or a rug since it does allow heat to escape from the motor, so the motor can overheat and it can cause discoloration of the carpet.
I haven't had issues with the motor, but it did leave a bit of an indentation on the carpet over time.
I just got one of these not sure if I'll keep it. I bought one without the handrails and am very worries about falling losing my balance or stumbling. like I don't know if it should feel this hard but im currently kind of scared of mine lol.
Oh no! How fast are you going on it?
How hard is it to type and do computer work while walking? Seems like a good solutions for taking lots of calls but is it awkward using a mouse and keyboard or reading documents on a screen?
I don’t find it hard to type or really do any work on my computer. The only thing I find difficult is physically writing on paper.
Hi, I saw you are using the same treadmill as I do and you are even using it on carpet and with a pullover on - have you ever experienced any issues with ESD (electro static charge on yourself)? I even after just 2 minutes get loaded when walking and when i touch my computer or my partner or anything really i get zapped ;) I'm now wearing a ESD wrist band connected to the grounding part of our socket, which removed the shocking, but I wonder why I never see anyone speak about that. Did you ever experience this problem? I even damaged my electical desk after half a year of use (while i was still charged and not knowing how ESD works) and had to buy a new motor for it. Would love to hear your experience ❤
Hi! I moved out of this apartment with the carpet about 6 months ago, and I can’t actually remember if I experienced this issue or not. I don’t remember it being particularly bad if so!
So question.. as a "bigger" guy.. wanting to avoid the typical story of sitting all day bad for your health.. and needing to lose some weight.. will these help as well as if I went out for a walk? I am not a big fan of walking around the block.. but I do need exercise.. and I've seen a lot of people who just walk every day drop weight, good for heart, etc. I am a software developer so also curious how well I can type/code while walking at the same time.. but I also watch videos a bit on tech things.. so I could see that being a great time to use this. But mostly I want to ensure it will help with my health.. reduce that risk of not moving every day.. and being on par with daily walks. I do other things (or will) like working out in garage gym so I know this wont replace everything I should be doing (like diet as well).
I think at the end of the day, walking is walking! Personally I find it easy to walk and type at the same time, as long as I don’t walk super fast.
The only thing I would recommend looking at is the weight limits for under desk treadmills because a lot of them have limits that aren’t super high (~240 lbs) so I would just pay attention to that when you are looking at options. Would definitely recommend though!
@@MissSarahEK Yah.. that is what I've been reading and seems like it makes sense. There are a couple 300 to 400lb models as well.. but they are in the $1K+ range. Still.. VERY well worth it if it helps your health and live longer. I found a couple of 265lb models and I am a tad over that.. so as long as I walk and don't run/pound on the tread it should work well enough. Thank you.
@@b3owu1f WalkingPad just released their A1 Pro with a 300lbs load capacity. I've been using my R1 Pro for almost a year now... and it is an awesome addition to my WFH setup. As for typing and walking at the same time - it takes a bit of getting used to, but honestly the typing is what braces/stabilizes me at the desk. I can touchtype really well, and use a split keyboard with a palm rest - which helps. At slow speeds (3km/h) I can do anything, and the treadmill just isn't a focus whatsoever. Going to higher speeds than that, I find that precision mouse-work starts to become difficult (think of selecting small pixels such as dragging down formulas in Excel)... though typing is still doable at most speeds for me. I'm writing this at the end of a workday, watching a 4K walking tour video on TH-cam and also watching some reviews like this. Don't hesitate to buy one if you have a standing desk setup and are curious.
@@bRIZZAd Thank you for that info. I ended up ordering a URevo for now.. it has a 285lb limit, for about $400, which is my exact weight right now. I actually was trying to get the LifeSpan 5000, then then 1200.. but was unable to afford either at the moment. I figure this is likely a life long endeavor or at least many years.. the Lifespan are US made and support 350+lbs.. though they are a bit bigger than the walkingpad and urevo models. So.. I'll start off with this one, see how it works, and move up to a higher end model if the money God's work in my favor in the near future. I just need to get something soon for my health.. with the hope that I can walk (plus diet change) my way to about 50lbs less in the not too distant future.
What was the noise from when you folded the platform back up?
It tends to make a creaking sound when it’s folded. Not sure if that’s what you mean?
Hi what is the make of your standing desk and are you happy with it?
I’ve linked the one I have in the description! And yes :) although I probably could have saved money and get a cheaper one because I never use the higher speeds.
Would you say that the C2 is worth it? Trying to figure out for long term?
If you need foldable for space saving, that's a pretty solid model. But if you don't need folding, a regular walking pad has less moving parts and thus less to go wrong. Either or, you will want to make sure the belt is properly aligned before use (especially on foldable models), and you will also want to make sure you lube it from time to time with a quality silicone.
Hi Sarah, is it uncomfortable when walking barefoot(no socks) on the folding area? Thanks.
I always wear at least socks, but I don’t think it would be any more uncomfortable than a normal treadmill.
i cant get one of these because i always walk off the edge if im focusing on something else
In the movie „The Pod Generation“ the walking treadmill is a non-motorized solution with optional desk and standing aid / standing frame from the German company „Walkolution“.
Their sales partner in (North) America is „Woodway“ (with much more different products).
How do you walk on that barefoot wirhout having knee pain? I have one aswell but after 1 hour walks my knees hurt. Going outside for hours i dont have any pain. Maybe its the hard flat surface thats not good...
Personally I don’t find it bothers my knees, but I usually don’t do it for more than an hour or so at one time. Usually if I’m going to get knee pain for walking it’s from walking at an incline. I also usually go slower than I would walking outdoors.
How loud does it run? I bought one once that said it was also able to play music but it was louder than the music
You can hear it but I haven’t found it’s so loud that it would be louder than music I’m listening to.
How was your electric bill?
I have a FitDesk under desk elliptical ... it doesn't have any of the issues you mentioned.
I’ll have to look into that!
Does your watch track your steps when you walk on this machine?
My watch isn’t super reliable when my hands are on my desk instead of by my sides. I use the apple health syncing through the walking pad app to track my steps/mileage instead.
Any negatives regarding the desk and screens kind of shaking as you’re walking and working?
That hasn't bothered me!
Have you lost any weight by doing this?
Can you walk and actively work, or is it mostly when you listen in?
I haven’t lost weight, but I’m not really trying to lose weight. And yes I can actively work and walk! I find it actually boosts my concentration when working. The only thing I don’t do while walking is meetings where I will be talking since I think the noise and moving may be distracting to others.
If you only need walking speeds, there are models that are both cheaper and weighs less.
From video I see, position of table is not correct. Table better to move little bit down, so hands not lay down on table. Then, the body is fully coordinate moves. And monitor stant need to rise up. So level of middle of monitor will be slightly down level of eyes. Ofcource its much easier to walk by laying on the table. So you can fly 10km easily, but you not use all potential. Stay fit. After some time I realize I need splited keyboard, because typing normal keyboard makes walk not stable.
Yes! For anyone with an adjustable desk, you shouldn't have to lift your elbows up to place them on the desk.
The desk moving so much dude
Hmm..so I am looking for something that can handle some running. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong thing?
The version I have can go up to about 6mph, so definitely running but not super fast. It’s something to pay attention to when you are looking at options.
Where did you get your desk from
It's from Autonomous!
Does the watch track your steps if your arms are somewhat stationary on the desk?
The Apple Watch does not track the steps. You have to set your iPhone as your main tracker and put it in your pocket. In default mode when the iPhone tracks a step and the Watch doesnt the Apple Watch „overpowers“ it and doesnt count the step.
Are you able to type while walking?
yes
Can you share your office chair? Looking for something just like that for my office.
Thanks I love this chair 🤍! I’m not actually sure what it is since I got it from an office furniture liquidation center and it doesn’t have any branding. Although based on a reverse image search I think it may be this sdofficefurniture.com/products/m116 (or you can probably find something similar from the image)
Yeah but like, which model did you get?
I have the R1 model!
Is that a DeskHaus desk?
what about walking on the spot?
What do you mean?
@@MissSarahEKI think he is talking about doing one step right, left, back, front.
This one is up to 3 times the cost of ones on amazon. Now, is that worth it?
The higher price of this one is mainly because it’s both foldable and goes to higher speeds for jogging. If you don’t need those features then probably not worth it!
@@MissSarahEKohh, ok. Thanks! I do like the fold up feature. I wish it had an incline option since I'll just be using it to get extra steps in when the weather is poor or I don't feel like driving to the gym with upstate NY snow.
Whyyyy does your voice go up at the end of every sentence lol. Jesus. 😂 are you in LA?
Blowing electrical fuses is not a under desk treadmill issue, it's an issue with either the electrical installation or poor device design/built.
Hmm maybe! Either way I think it’s something people should be aware could happen, particularly with the model I reviewed. It is probably the biggest problem I’ve had with it. I live in an apartment so unfortunately don’t have much control over the electrical installation.
👍🏻
Your desk needs to be a bit higher when standing as it needs to be in line with the keyboard. Right now you are setting yourself up for sever elbow and wrist problems
Yea if I get a walking pad it needs to go fast I like to run
How high is your desk?
My desk is adjustable from 29.4” to 48”
can you share what desk model you have? i have been looking at options and like that yours is the L shape.
This is the desk I have! www.autonomous.ai/standing-desks/l-shaped-smartdesk?purchase_method=1
that squeek will annoy me for sure. do you know where it's coming from? could it be lubricated?
I think it’s just coming from my feet rubbing against the tread :/
The noise is a no-go for me.
That price is insanely high. There are far cheaper versions available that have comparable quality.
Totally agree! There are definitely cheaper options out there :) I got this one in particular because of the high speed and foldability.
Thankfully where I live now (Asia), I can get this model for like half the price as in the states. I don't think I could justify the price back home in the US. It's just too much in my opinion. But if someone has money to spare and needs a foldable model, it might just be perfect, even at the steep price.
6mph!?! That’s definitely a lawsuit waiting to happen haha
😆 it’s not so bad if you are jogging!
@@MissSarahEK what is the slowest it can go? I would only want to go .5-1mph
750$? What in the world?! I honestly don't see a treadmill being an equivalent to an iphone or a mac price-wise. These things should go for 200$ tops
There are definitely cheaper ones out there! This one is on the more expensive side.
