Walking Pad Under Desk Treadmill for Home | Portable Treadmill 300 lbs Capacity with Remote | Compatible Fitness App | LED Display | No Installation

April 22 Update: As noted below, there was an issue with oil leaking onto a belt (which I repaired on my own), and the trouble reaching customer service. Last week, a company representative reached out to me and we have squared everything away. I am extremely impressed with the customer service, and as posted in my original review, other than the oil/belt/slippage problem, this is an excellent treadmill. Extremely sturdy and a pleasure to use. I walk on it 60 minutes a day, 6 days a week, so now have more than 500 hours on the machine and it is as good as I had hoped. Additionally, the company representative demonstrated that they do indeed support their customers, so I enthusiastically recommend both the machine and the company. Indeed, so much so that I bought another one for my daughter to use whenever her three small children will let her . . . .March 17 post: I purchased on sWalk walking pad through Amazon on January 10, 2024, which was received on January 14. I have used the walking pad successfully all but two days since then. I have kept it cleaned and oiled as instructed in the manual. Today, Sunday, March 17, 2024, when I stand on the belt it will not move. When I get off it moves fine (I stand 5 ft 9 in. and weigh 165 pounds, and my weight has remained the same since I began using the treadmill in January). I have tried to adjust the belt tension in both directions by either tightening or loosening by quarter turns. After adjusting and working with the unit for more than an hour I cannot find any possible adjustment that allows the belt to turn when I am on it. The unit has remained in the same place on the floor of my workout room since purchased and has never been moved. None of the suggestions on the manufacturer's webpage, troubleshooting or "servicebot" address this situation.Tuesday, March 19: I worked on the machine for an hour again yesterday, and discovered the problem. The small engine that turns a small belt that drives the treadmill belt is located on the upper left hand side of the unit. Approximately 8 inches away from that is a portal containing oil for the rollers. When the unit is stored against the wall as instructed by the manufacturer, the oil portal is directly above in a straight line down to the engine and engine belt. I had previously never had need to store the unit against the wall, but had a guest for the weekend so for the first time store it upright, engine end closest to the floor, in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Oil from the roller oil portal ran down straight to the engine, coating the plastic engine spindle and rubber drive belt with silicone oil. Thus, when turned on, the spindle/belt could turn the treadmill with no weight on it, but once I stepped onto the treadmill it stopped and the oil coated belt simply slipped against the turning spindle. I cleaned up the belt and spindle as best I could with Dawn dish soap and water (recommended by auto mechanics when dealing with a similar issue happening for oil spills on vehicle fan belts). However, silicone oil is extremely slippery and difficult to clean off, so there is still residual amounts in the spindle and belt grooves that still cause the belt to slip some, but not nearly as badly as before so that the unit is functioning again.This is an extremely poor design -- had the roller oil fill portal been located on the right side of the machine rather than left near the engine, oil would never have been able to run straight down to the engine when store upright according to the manufacturer's directions.There are some specialized sprays made to increase tack between engines and belt drives typically found with conveyor belt systems (automotive belt dressing products are not appropriate for an electric engine of this size/type), but they aren't cheap. Since the unit won't function properly without it, though, I will get some. If it solves the problem I will update this post.I also note that despite my having contacted the manufacturer by email at the instructed email address, I have never heard back from them. Buyer beware: it appears that if something goes wrong with the unit, even when following manufacturer instructions, you are on your own and better have some experience with small engine and machine repair.

Works great for me to walk in my bedroom. Took off one star because I purchased it for my 5 year old so he could "be like daddy" and build up his endurance, but apparently he's too light for the machine to detect him walking on it. It cuts off 10 seconds after he starts it. I wish I had known there was a minimum weight requirement for it.

I love this walking pad. It’s the perfect size to slide under the bed to store when I’m not using it. It’s easy to move around and use and it is quiet enough that I can use it early in the morning without waking everyone up. I’ve been using it almost daily for close to 3 months now and haven’t run into any issues with it.
