DeerRun Walking Pad 2 in 1 Under Desk Treadmill, 2.5HP Low Noise Walking Pad Running Jogging Machine with Remote Control for Home Office, Lightweight Portable Desk Treadmill Installation Free

This treadmill kept popping up in my social media feeds. Though I wasn't in the market for a treadmill, I was intrigued by the small, slim size, and apparent sturdiness of the device. I had this model in my cart for a couple of weeks before going through with the purchase. Even though the price was very reasonable, I wanted to measure my level of commitment, so as not to have another piece of exercise equipment collecting dust for a year or two, until it gets hauled out for the community garage sale or the donation box. I'm glad that I chose to buy it. First off, the treadmill was packed so safely and securely, which I found reassuring. All pieces were accounted for (there is no assembly required, but it does come with lubricating oil, a screwdriver and Allen wrench, and an extra battery for the remote control), and the instructions were simple and clear. The treadmill is sturdy, and carries my weight effortlessly (I am 197 lbs.). The active walking area feels a bit short for my stride; this is my fault, as I chose model size based on the floor space I would be using the treadmill, rather than my stride length. This has not ruined the experience for me. I just walk at a more relaxed clip (think an outdoor walk with a friend that involves plenty of talking with the walking). My model (90 cm) is the mid-size, with 42.44" length. The 100 cm is 46.38" long. The treadmill does not shake, rattle, or slip when in use. I have had professional gym-quality treadmills in my home over the years, and while their quality and capabilities are top-notch, they tend to take up so much space, and they are next to impossible to move. This treadmill is not that, and it works great as I need it to.

I have been walking about 1 to 2 miles a day on this treadmill for 2 weeks since I got it. I usually walk at a speed of 1mph to 2.5mph depending on how I feel and how much time I have. It says it can go up to 3.8mph but that is too fast to walk and pretty much becomes a jogging speed.I had a slight belt slip where it was getting closer to the edge when I used it right out of the box. The treadmill comes with a hex screw you can use to adjust the belt tilt. I haven’t had any issues with the belt since I adjusted it.The treadmill is a good size and fits my size 9 feet and stride length. I am 5’9” tall.It comes with an easy to use remote control: power on and up/down buttons for speed control. There are no buttons on the treadmill other than an on/off switch. If you lose the remote then you can’t control the treadmill. The remote comes with a battery and spare battery.My only cons of this treadmill is that it makes a loud beeping noise when you turn it on or adjust the speed. I wish there was a way to turn the noise off.The treadmill also comes with some lube. They recommend you lube it once a month through a little hole that is capped on the treadmill.The treadmill is pretty heavy so I wouldn’t want to move it all the time. It does have wheels on the top heavy part so you can move it easier by lifting it 45 degrees and rolling it. It also has some screws on the bottom to level the treadmill but I didn’t need to adjust anything since it sits on my carpet.Overall I recommend this treadmill for the price and quality of what you get. If this can last 1-2 years at the rate I am using it, then it will meet my expectations and would buy it again when it breaks.

This walking pad is extremely convenient. It has allowed me to walk consistently everyday because I don’t have to go to the basement gym and be away from my family. It lives in the living room and is easily stowed away under the couch within minutes. It’s quite as can be, considering it’s a machine with a major moving part (the belt).Pluses:1) it’s quiet. I received a loud one at first, I returned it and got a replacement and it has been great.2) it’s moveable. This is a sturdy machine. It has to be or it can’t support your moving weight. However, the casters at the bottom on one side (for safety) allow it to be moved and slide under furniture with ease.3) unlike some other ones, this particular model shows distance in miles, not kilometers. That’s a plus for us Americans. We don’t have to convert our mileage.4) trouble shooting is simple. If the belt is bearing left while you walk, you just crank it with the provided wrench and it immediately corrects itself. If you do too much, you just adjust the other side. It took me 5 seconds to do it and it hasn’t gotten misaligned again. I’ve done 75 miles on it after.Cons:1) it’s narrow. But that’s by design. It’s meant to be narrow so that it’s portable. This isn’t a full sized treadmill so don’t expect it to be. That also means that you must pay attention. If you are not centered, you WILL fall. I did - twice. Instead of returning it and getting a model that has handle bars, I just put two chair backs on either side and use them to keep my balance.That works for me but it is a compromise and if I had it in me to return it, I would pick the handle bar model. But I do have bad balance to begin with. So use your judgment.2) it does NOT keep time. If you accidentally press “stop”, it will stop withOUT a recorded time or distance. So if you’re keeping track of your progress, you won’t know how many calories, distance, or time. I find this one the most annoying of the flaws. I make it a point to glance at my time and distance BEFORE I end my session.3) you must use the remote to stop, start, increase or decrease the speed. The remote has a loose wrist band so I wear it on my wrist while I walk. You can also thread it through a lanyard to keep it hands free.4) it does not have an emergency stop button to pull.All in all, I recommend this walking pad for this price point. I would probably have gotten a different model for my specific needs, but as it stands, I’m happy keeping this one.
