Anyone own a WalkingPad instead of a treadmill

Corrie1960 · Oct 16, 2019

I've seen this and I'm thinking of buying one as my treadmill broke down.

It's small it can fold when your not using it and it's not big and bulky like a normal treadmill.

anyone own one that can tell me If it's worth it or not.

Can one of these really replace your treadmill?
The max speed is apparently 6km/h - that's 10mins/km, which isn't even a slow jog?

I get why some people prefer treadmills over running outside (sweating, other people staring, not wanting to run during bad bad weather conditions), but none of these apply to just going on a 1 hour walk, do they?

I do 2 hours walking at 5km/h on my treadmill doing about 12,000 steps a day so yeah people do

Hmm, I like how little space it uses up. Might get one of these, was looking at a cheap treadmill but this might do.

Can't catch up on your favorite shows outside.

As someone who just had to move a treadmill when we moved houses, I can appreciate something like this.

I wonder how loud those things are. Might be a nice addition to my standing desk setup.
