Urevo Walking Pad

... die Tage viel mit solchen Walking Pads beschäftigt und hatte ein... mehr aufpassen muss nicht vom Walking Pad zu rutschen. Ich würde empfehlen..., dass ein Walking Pad min. eine Lauffläche von 100cm... Sicherheitsrisiko! Und ich schätze, das Walking Pad hier aus dem Deal wird... mich letztendlich für das UREVO SpaceWalk E4 Walking Pad entschieden, mit ca. 140...

I will let you know! I have my walking pad arriving at some point next week. It’s a UREVO and got in on 50% sale for £100.00 via amazon. I’m looking forward to upping my steps considerably with an early morning and evening walk, which at this time of year in Scotland will be a lot more comfortable in my living room 👍👍

... said: Does anyone have a walking pad? We just don’t have room... Amazon purchase, the brand is UREVO. But there are a million ...

I recently got a Urevo Cyberpad Office walking pad. When I got it and tested it I noticed that after 2-5 minutes of it running (irrespective of whether I am standing/walking on it or not) it will trip my AFCI circuit breaker. I tried multiple receptacles on different breakers and it tripped all AFCI breaker. I also have a Sole F80 treadmill which is on same AFCI circuit breaker running from 5+ years and it never tripped the breaker. Then I moved it an older receptacle and circuit breaker in my house which does not have AFCI and it worked fine there. I am wondering if this is a concern or not. The part of my house where I will use this walking pad has older wiring/circuit breaker which as non-AFCI circuits so the constant tripping would not happen but I am wondering if this is concerning or can it be ignored? I looked up some previous post and it seems like some treadmills are notorious to trip AFCI and some posts recommended getting things like this https://www.amazon.com/Tripp-Lite-Protector-INSURANCE-ISOBLOK2-0/dp/B0000510R4/?th=1 which helps eliminate the tripping. If I plan to use the walking pad in non-AFCI plug should I still use this? Thanks submitted by /u/Open-Coder to r/treadmills [link] [comments]

I've been opening up budget walking pads to check what's actually inside, and I'm 0 for 2 on "brushless" claims under $200. Wellfit TM037 (~$150): Brand page says "Quiet Brushless Motor." Motor label reads "PERMANENT MAGNET DC MOTORS", model 82-238, manufactured by Guangdong Wanrui. Two wires (red/black). Two-wire schematic on label. And of course: the big caps on the ends. Brushed motor. (Teardown details & photos, expand the Research section.) DeerRun Q2 Urban (~$170): Brand page says "Whisper-Quiet Brushless Motor." Motor label reads "PERMANENT MAGNET DC MOTORS", model 75-238, manufactured by Jiang Yin Aotelai. Two wires. Brushed. (Teardown details & photos, expand Research.) Different brands, different motor factories, same false claim. Both Amazon listings conspicuously omit the word "brushless." It only shows up on the brand websites, where there's presumably less enforcment. This is a big deal because brushed motors wear out. They have carbon brushes that physically grind down. At 300-500 hours of rated brush life, that's 8-14 months of all-day desk walking before you're dealing with worn brushes, carbon dust in the windings, and eventual failure. They also run hotter and less efficiently (72-80% vs 85-92% for actual BLDC motors). In a sealed walking pad with minimal airflow, that extra waste heat feeds on itself: hotter motor, more resistance, more current, more heat. That's why cheap pads shut down after 30-45 minutes. Real brushless motors don't have wear parts. Lifespan is limited by bearings, not brushes, typically 3-5x longer. They run cooler, quieter, and draw less current. It's the single biggest thing that determines whether a walking pad lasts. The horsepower numbers are also inflated. DeerRun's motor: 90V x 5.9A = 0.60 CHP. Wellfit's: 105V x 6.3A = 0.75 CHP. Both market "2.5-3.0 HP", but that's peak, roughly 4x the sustained output. A pad running 0.60 CHP is working way harder to move you than one running 0.99 CHP, which means more heat and faster wear. Continuous horsepower is what determines how long a motor runs without overheating, and Wellfit's BBB F rating tells you how the company handles it when things break. What to look for instead. If a brand publishes FCC filings, motor wattage, or a CHP/duty rating, that's a good sign. If they just slap "brushless" on the product page with no specs backing it up, be skeptical. The Amazon-vs-brand-site discrepancy is a solid red flag. Two brands I've found that are honest about their motors: UREVO SpaceWalk 5L (verified 735W brushless motor label, S1 continuous duty, 0.99 CHP), and Toputure (openly labels their motors as brushed, no pretense). I put together a comparison table filtered to brushless pads, I keep it updated with research. Set a price-max filter rather than sorting by price, since Score is complex. Manual treadmills skip the motor question entirely if your budget allows it. submitted by /u/lefnire to r/walkingdesks [link] [comments]

Hello everyone! I recently purchased a urevo walking pad. I Currently use the urevo app to track my steps. I wanted to know something. Does the app track step accurately or not? submitted by /u/Artistic_Tooth9637 to r/WalkingPads [link] [comments]

Hey everyone, I’m looking for recommendations for a high-quality under-desk walking pad for long daily use. Ideally, I'd walk 6+ hours a day (15km+) while working, so durability is by far my top priority. From what I’ve seen, a lot of popular models (UREVO, WalkingPad, DeerRun, etc.) don’t seem to hold up well under heavy daily use. I’ve come across quite a few reports of overheating or motors wearing out relatively quickly. So I’m wondering: Are there any walking pads that can actually handle 6+ hours of daily use long-term? Any models that have proven to last months or years with this level of usage? I mainly care about: durability motor strength heat management long-term reliability Would really appreciate any recommendations or experiences from people using their setup at a similar volume. Thanks! submitted by /u/No-Tomatillo8601 to r/WalkingPads [link] [comments]

This starts after walking for a minute or two. If I jump out, the noise disappears. What’s up? submitted by /u/tmla to r/treadmills [link] [comments]

I started working from home, and for the first three months I was using my son’s study table. I didn’t realize at first how lazy I was getting, and what it was doing to my posture. Because I was literally hunching over my laptop all day since there was nobody around to judge, and I ended up with constant back pain. And then about a month ago, I met up with a friend I hadn’t seen in six months, and she told me I had gained weight. That was my wake up call. Since then I got back into the gym and also decided to upgrade my WFH setup. I mean I was saving so much on gas, so thought I better spend some of that to get something ergonomic. So far I’ve already gotten a standing desk from Vernal, and right now I’m working about 80% of the time standing and 20% sitting. It’s definitely helped with my back pain. Now I’m thinking about getting a Urevo walking pad to help lose the extra weight I gained over the past four months. But I’m not sure if it’s practical for WFH. Can you really focus and work while walking? And does it make noise during meetings? submitted by /u/Equal_Lie_5854 to r/WalkingPads [link] [comments]

Been looking at various brands of walking pads (Sportconic, UREVO, HomeFitnessCode)... Don't know anything about walking pad brands reliability. All of the 3 I've been looking at gets mixed reviews (especially about noise) This is for basic at-home walking. Been looking at models with min. 3HP, 5-9% incline, side arms... What should I be looking at? I'm from Denmark, budget ~€400-500 (ie. Amazon.de). submitted by /u/Awkward_Weather_3318 to r/treadmills [link] [comments]

I got a urevo walk pad about 2 years ago, been through intermittent use, but actually picked it back up more intense the last few weeks. Unfortunately, this week some black plastic melted bits have been coming out, and this afternoon it gave me an EO5 warning, and the belt won’t move at all. This seems like a common problem from what I’ve read on here, but I haven’t seen if it’s worth it to try to replace (not very mechanically/tech savvy) or look into a new one? submitted by /u/GigsGilgamesh to r/treadmills [link] [comments]

Update: I no longer use CyberPad - after a recent motor data sweep, I defected. Full comparison with CHP derivations and teardowns at ocdevel.com/walk. Research-dump + manuals for CyberPad Home; Office. But! CyberPad's still amazing, and I prefer Office. Specs below are from the EU/US manuals (URTM051 and URTM038) - these sometimes differ from what Amazon shows in their tech details, so noting the source. Manual's Specs Office (URTM051) Home (URTM038) Belt (L x W) 39.4" x 16.5" 43.3" x 16.5" Profile height 6.3" 8.7" Weight 63 lbs 71 lbs Max user weight 242 lbs 264 lbs Rated power / CHP 550W / 0.74 550W / 0.74 Incline 14% full auto 9% auto + 5% manual kickstand Price $400-450 $405-430 The manuals show identical rated power (550W / 0.74 CHP), but the Office is UREVO's newer design - slimmer, lighter, yet packing the same wattage into a 6.3" frame vs the Home's 8.7". That kind of engineering shrink usually means a motor generation upgrade, not just a chassis change. Both brushless, both 30 dB claimed, both 2.5 HP peak. Profile. Office at 6.3" slides under most standing desks. Home's 8.7" rear forces you further back from your keyboard. For an under-desk treadmill, this matters more than any other spec - if you can't stand flush with your desk, you won't use it. Incline. Office delivers all 14 levels via app. Home gives 9 auto levels + a set-and-forget rear kicktsand for the remaining ~5%. Day-to-day: 14 levels of convenient adjustment vs 9. Belt length. Home gives 43.3" vs Office's 39.4". A 6-foot person walking briskly has ~30-32" stride, so 39.4" is fine for most people, especially on incline (which shortens gait). Only matters if you're tall and walk fast on flat. TL;DR: Get the Office. It's the newer, better-engineered model at the same price. Home only if you're tall with a long stride and that 4" of extra belt is worth the worse desk ergonomics. Warranty + Maintenance Both: 12 months standard, 24 months free with registration within 30 days - do this immediately. UREVO recommends session breaks for thermal management.

okay so i have read a few threads but someone tell me what i should do. i bought a shit walking pad from amazon and like 2 months later it died. anyway, i'm looking to make an investment for one that i can use under my desk since i work from home 100% and like to walk at least 90+ mins at a time. i am looking to be able to carry it up and downstairs from my office to living room when i'm not working when the weather is too cold bc of winter. im also looking for it to last for more than just a year or two since i dont have an office to go to. i see people saying walkingpad z1, lifespan (seems heavy and huge) or urevo(skeptical bc its from amazon) let me hear your recs! submitted by /u/ynxdy to r/WalkingPads [link] [comments]

Has anyone had positive experiences with warranty claims through UREVO? I bought a CyberPad for Office directly from their website in August 2025, expecting the 2-year warranty they offered. Unfortunately, they’ve ignored all my emails and voicemails. It’s been about a week, and I’m getting worried that I have an expensive paperweight with essentially no warranty if no one at the company responds to my inquiries. Has anyone else had this experience? Any advice is welcome. submitted by /u/escapeburrito to r/treadmills [link] [comments]

Looking for a walking treadmill for an elderly family member, which they can use while listening to a podcast or music or watching a show. They won’t run on it, it’s simply to help them keep moving during cold winter weather and rainy days, user weight 200 lbs. It will likely see no more than 30-40 minutes use per day. It must have a handlebar. Incline but it doesn’t need to go high. No control screen necessary. A one year warranty would be nice. I've listed some models below. I’m sure there’s a trade off between higher cost machines that are maintainable, and lower cost machines that may not offer much if any support, though even a higher cost machine that’s serviceable means paying for proprietary parts and possibly service (I’m handy and can likely maintain it for them). Open to other suggestions as well, including mid-priced so long as the company has a good reputation and supports its products, because being a big company does not automatically translate to quality products and good support (thinking of you NordicTrack / Icon Fitness). Here are some models below. All need to be taken with grains of salt as they are recommended by affiliate-revenue powered sites that are optimized for revenue, don’t spend much time testing if at all, and prioritize affiliate revenue factors over actual quality, such as how widely available the product is and which companies pay the highest affiliate fees. 1) UREVO Strol 2E Smart 2-in-1 Folding Treadmill, Compact Walking Pad with Safety Handle, Plug and Play, 1 year warranty, $188 https://www.amazon.com/UREVO-Folding-Treadmill-Walking-Capacity/dp/B0CFQRJ14Q From Outdoorgearlab https://www.outdoorgearlab.com/topics/fitness/best-treadmill 2) UREVO Strol 1 Pro Foldable Treadmill, 1 year warranty, with handle grip, currently $342 instead of $550 (which Gearlab calls the best budget treadmill).

I'm looking for an under-desk walking pad. After extensive research (looking through reddit, youtube and amazon :p) It seems like there are simply no good options, they all break or suck or something and there are a small amount of people saying theirs lasted 2 years, but then others saying they lasted 3 months. I've kinda narrowed it down to two brands: Urevo and Kingsmith (also rebranded under walking pad, but it's basically xiaomi). It seems like kingsmith is a bit more expensive although urevo isn't that far behind. I honestly don't know what to do and getting a real treadmill isn't an option. Any thoughts, between the two brands or any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks! EDIT: Is it a better idea to just cheap out because they all seem to break? Or is it for some reason worth it to spend 300-600€? submitted by /u/neetbuck to r/treadmills [link] [comments]

I’ve been seeing multiple websites of comparisons and it kinda overwhelms me. Every time I click on a link, it is either not shipping to my location or unavailable. I don’t expect the walking pad to be as high quality as an expensive one, but I’m looking for an efficient one under $200 and can handle long walks + won’t die out too fast. I’m eyeing certain brands, such as: UREVO Lichico YAGUD Acezoe VitalWalk I’m not so sure if these could fit my criteria, as every walking pad I come across have both negative & positive feedback. If you guys have any ideas which ones I should go for, please let me know! UPDATE: Thanks for all the comments! I just found out that Urevo doesn’t ship to my location. I’m now stuck between TheRun, Treaflow, or Sperax.. submitted by /u/nonshowbizgfnihoon to r/WalkingPads [link] [comments]

I wanted to make a post about this brand so others searching would be aware of possible issues. I purchased a Urevo walking pad in November 2024 off Amazon. I average 3-4 miles a day on it. In March 2025 it started jerking (which was very unsafe as I could have fallen off) so I lubricated the belt and it seemed ok for a couple more weeks. Then the step count stopped working, no biggie, I don't need to see that. Then the jerking happened again so I lubricated again in May. Then the end of May it stopped completely and gave me a E02 error. I took the cover off to ensure all the wires were connected, and they were. I contacted the manufacturer (in China), they sent me a video (not in English) showing what to look for which was what I already did. We spent a week e-mailing to where they finally said they'd send me a replacement for free. Great! So I waited a few days and when I didn't get it, I asked for a tracking number. They told me it's out of stock. I can literally see it on Amazon, what do you mean? And why didn't you tell me that 1.5 weeks ago? They say they'll issue me a refund but I highly doubt that'll happen. So just beware of this crappy walking pad and terrible customer service. submitted by /u/Spiritual_Poem2546 to r/WalkingPads [link] [comments]

I'm creating a big comparison of popular walking pads: ocdevel.com/walk. I'll add one treadmill per day, starting with the most frequently recommended; then filling out each brands' full inventory. WalkingPad / KingSmith / Xiaomi, Urevo, EgoFit, GoPlus, Sperax, Sunny Health, Yagud, GoYouth, SupeRun, Elseluck, Lichico, Rythm Fun, DeerRun, etc. I keep seeing review sites dumping lists of poor products; presumably a web-scrape of Amazon sorted by popularity. This popularity tends towards fake reviews (use FakeSpot!); time in the game (age is generally bad, the tech improves); or SEO (I'm looking at you WalkingPad). Mine is a tool from someone obsessed with walking pads. I sleuth these subreddits like a maniac, am part of Discords, etc. I'm currently a Urevo boy, but I'll keep testing treadmills and changing that page. I really want to try Walkolution 2, but god that price... I went on a journey of GoYouth -> EgoFit -> Urevo, and got lots of engagement in the process, so I wanted a sophisticated ranking system to make choosing easier. The Rank column is a weighted sum of each products' attribute-score. Weighted because some attributes are more important. And attribute scores themselves have complex logic. Eg dimensions is "how does each dimension (of 3) rank relative to the tables' min/max". And Rating is "star-rating (Amazon), down-weighted if too few ratings, modified by FakeSpot (both company and model), and considering 1-star-skew". I'll keep dialing in my calculators over time. Also, every time I see a real complaint / review (Reddit, Discord, etc), I +/-1 the "Sturdy" score for that model / brand. [Update 2025-07-08] See this comment https://www.reddit.com/r/treadmills/comments/1ji9pjb/comment/n210il8/ on what to look for. The table is due for an upgrade, based on this information. submitted by /u/lefnire to r/treadmills [link] [comments]

I got my first walking pad and disappointed with urevo. It took me so much time to center the belt, even then it make squeaky noise, I walked barefoot and felt it heating up not bad but still. I had this backward slip where it there was not handle I feel I will fall. It doesn’t give me confidence. Also the noise. I got it from Amazon but what do I replace it with? Are all walking pads like this? What’s web hour experience and what are you happy with? submitted by /u/scal369 to r/WalkingPads [link] [comments]

The title summarizes the post. There are TOO many brands to pick from and the reviews are overwhelmingly good for many of them until you look at the 1-star reviews and someone is talking about how their walking pad smells like smoke and rubber. I want to buy a good walking pad within a budget but I don't want to put down any money until I know that the chances of my purchase smelling like smoke, heating up or not working after a couple of uses r VERY low. Did anyone have any good experiences with the Amazon ones (urevo, sperax, freepi, airhot etc)? Any suggestions? My primary goal is to get in more daily activity since I'm a student and I wfh. submitted by /u/vattacoolv1 to r/loseit [link] [comments]

Hello fellows! It's my time posting here so I hope I don't break any rule. What I use: Urevo U1. What I work on: I'm a web dev. I also do copywriting, marketing and more tech writing. My usage: Weekdays (I work 6h), intense, non-stop. Till 20k steps are done, but I can do some breaks. Preferred speed is 4.5km/h but I can go till 5.2km/h if I don't need to write too much. Pros and cons: I'm a heavy intense user, I don't think anyone will be that crazy as I am. For normal usage (say 1h everyday) it's okay. For someone like me, not. This devices aren't made for so hard intense and non-stop, so it's been noisy and noisy every year. Doesn't bother too much, but it's not that noiseless as it was as new. Despite that, I'm happy with it and it was worth the money. I didn't saw the electricity bill that high when using it, so I don't think it consumes that much. Why a walking pad: I was debating between this and a stationary bike, seemed like walking would fit better for my purpose than a bike. Also, I already had a wall-made desk so it needed to fit the height. If you have questions, feel free to ask me! submitted by /u/matsumurae to r/StandingDesk [link] [comments]

After first learning about them on tiktok, I spent a long time really wanting a walking pad in my home, but I just wasn't sure if it would be worth the money. I finally bought one and I can say 100% without a doubt it is the best large purchase I made all year. Before I bought a walking pad, I only ever saw thin female influencers on tiktok using them, so I wanted to share my review here in case anyone else is like me and was worried about whether or not it would be a good fit for you. My Background In 2017, I weighed 240 lbs, my highest weight ever. I was only 22, so it really concerned me because I knew it was likely I would continue gaining if I didn't do something. Luckily I found this sub and managed to lose ~60 lbs before getting pregnant with my second child. I maintained a healthy weight throughout pregnancy, then went back down to 180 not long after giving birth. I felt amazing! I had done it, I thought I was one of the few people who would only have to lose weight one time and then would be able to maintain it for life. BUT in 2020, for reasons that are probably pretty obvious, I began gaining it back. Unfortunately the pandemic combined with a stressful job led me to gain all the way back to 230, almost up to my highest weight. In spite of wanting to lose weight since I hit 230 in 2021, I have NOT implemented regular calorie counting into my life and have struggled with a serious lack of motivation. My job led to extreme burnout and I ended up quitting in 2022. Up until July of this year, I still weighed 230 lbs. I currently weigh 215 lbs. Concerns Before Buying I weighed 230 lbs when I was looking and a lot of them have a 230 lb weight limit. I am 5'8" and a lot of them are fairly short, so I was worried about being able to walk normally on it. I did not want to invest in an expensive one and was worried about overall quality if I went with a cheaper option. Would I actually use it as much as I thought I would? Or was I just being influenced by the thin, beautiful women on tiktok who I wanted to be like? Thoughts Now That I've Owned It For 6 Months I managed to find one with a 265 lb weight capacity. Although I was still worried that I was cutting it close, it has worked just fine for me. After 6 months of use, I now weigh 215, so my weight has been somewhat consistent but hasn't caused any significant wear and tear. It easily holds me up and I haven't noticed any issues whatsoever. It's plenty long enough. My 5'11" husband with much longer legs than mine has no problem walking on it (although he doesn't ever walk for as long as I do). I do notice some tightness in my hips after awhile of using it, and I think that's because it is a tad narrow. I offset this by making sure to stop and stretch every couple of miles. The only issue I've had is the display has gotten all wonky. It's an LED display but some of the lights don't light up, so I can no longer see how far I've gone. That is annoying but not really that big of a deal in the long run. Considering the price, I'm just happy that I can still walk on it after all this time. YES! This is one purchase that I have stuck to using quite a bit. I do not have a standing desk, but I have a counter that has worked perfectly for putting this under. I keep my laptop charger there so that I am more encouraged to just walk anytime I'm on the laptop. I am a SAHM and ghostwriter, so before I was sitting down for long periods of time while writing, but this allows me to easily get several miles in every day. I usually keep it on a fairly low pace of about 2 mph so that I can just mindlessly walk on it without really thinking about it. For days when I want it to actually feel like a workout, I bump it up to about 3.5 mph and will go for an hour. I bought a desktop USB fan which is great for staying cool. One thing that I've found that makes it easier for me to get on and walk was getting a pair of house slippers that have a real sole in them, so they're comfy to walk on. I bought fairly cheap deerform ones from Walmart. As you can see, I have NOT lost a significant amount of weight since owning the walking pad (went from 230 to 215) and that is because I have been extremely inconsistent with calorie counting. Always keep in mind that it is much easier to reduce your food intake than it is to exercise away excess calories! If you are thinking that buying a walking pad will magically help you lose a ton of weight, you will only be disappointed. BUT if you are hoping that a walking pad might help you become an overall more active person and maybe offset a few extra calories here and there, then you're going to love it. Please feel free to ask whatever questions you might have. Like I said, before buying this thing I felt like I had never seen anyone in my situation who had one, so I hope to be the resource that I didn't have at the time. Here is the link to the specific one that I own. I know nothing about that specific brand and to be honest I really just chose it because it had mostly positive reviews and was within my budget, but I have been extremely happy with it. ​ submitted by /u/TheVillageOxymoron to r/loseit [link] [comments]

[UPDATE] See my updated recommendations, since I start off talking GoYouth. Trying to decide on a walking desk. I'll use it heavily - I really wanna push 40hrs/wk, 200lbs, 3mph. I'm sure I'll learn a hard lesson, but that's my goal. So gut says "get a powerhouse like LifeSpan". But I also might move cities in the medium-term, unlikely to take the setup with me. And I'm not rich. So in honesty, I'm ok with "disposable". Just not too disposable. I'm wondering, are these famous-ish cheapies (GoPlus, GoYouth, WalkingPad, Egofit) that that bad compared to LifeSpan, InMovement, iMovR, etc? How does Treadly fit into that tee-off? I get the impression it sits in the middle? As someone without a lot of cash, I really don't want to drop $2k for a walking desk, when GoPlus is $350. That's a significant difference. But if the build quality of the products are proportionally similar, I feel like I probably should. I guess I'm asking, what's the situation on a scale from 1-10. (1) Being GoPlus will break on me week 1 because it's a shoddy smoke-and-mirrors scam. (10) Being GoPlus is an Amazon Basics teflon pan, LifeSpan a fancy cast iron skillet; a professional chef (gym) should care; a hobbyist (individual) less so. [Edit] I went with GoYouth 2-in-1. I noticed GoPlus had a high 1-star ratio compared; and it maxes at 2.5mph in walk mode. To go past 2.5, you must raise the bars which would interfere physically with a standing desk. I thought about putting a tray on the hand rails (for keyboard/mouse); and the walking desk for the monitor, behind the bars; but it felt like a gamble. GoYouth doesn't have as much acclaim online; but it still gets a fair bit, so I figured it's worth a shot for that 3-4mph walking. I also bought the 2yrs Amazon insurance (offered on add-to-cart), figured if durability is the main concern here, I'll put that $25 insurance to the test! I'll report back on its first break-down. I guarantee it will happen, since I plan to use it 8hrs/d - so "when" will be the most interesting to y'all. I was so bummed - saw the TR1200-DT7 listed at $615 on Amazon from a reseller. I went to nab it, then they undid as a mis-listing. So close! [6/18/22] one week of 6hr days 2mph. Down 10lbs and more focused. So far no hiccups, knock on wood! [7/12/22] 6hrs/d at 3mph. Oiling the treadmill when I can. Ne'er a hiccup, it's holding up phenomenally! I'm putting some serious miles on it, so I'm pleasantly surprised. The controller it comes with is absolute shit, but if you email them or contact them through "seller contact" on Amazon, they'll replace it for free. The treadmill itself is surprisingly sturdy. [9/5/22] smooth sailing. 8h/d 3mph. God knows how many miles I've proven this bad boy out, but I think it's safe to say I see no reason to drop $$$ on a LifeSpan. I'm very impressed. Havent even had to adjust the belt. Controller lives, surprisingly! You learn it's quirks and they'll free you a new one when the time comes. [12/1/22]: I keep getting update-requests, so I'll post my last reply: Yep! On it now. Anywhere between 1-3mph 4-10hrs / day. I honestly can't believe it, at this point I give it permission to break - I've used it more than one should. At the same time, based on how much I've used it in the end, I may as well have gone the LifeSpan upgrade route. I was kinda going GoYouth because I wasn't 100% sure I'd commit so hard. But hell, if it aint broke! I haven't had to adjust the belt even. Even the controller has held out (I stopped being nervous about it's quirks). I lube the belt every week or other week. I'm big on this treadmill. I've curious browsed other cheapies since. One thing that stands out is the GoPlus is fairly larger than the GoYouth and wouldn't fit width-wise under my desk's legs. GoYouth has a more universally-compatible width for smaller desk sizes. Besides the fact GoPlus has a stronger 1-star skew, which makes it more hit or miss. Since I posted this, I also bought a Xiser Pro Trainer (stepper) for my partner. We switch desks throughout the day, since walking vs stepping keeps things a bit fresh, and eases too much burden on one muscle group. I've found that I like the stepper better - it has better stability for mouse / keyboard (by a lot), enforces good posture (one can still slouch on treadmill, though less so than sitting), is portable (taking home for the holidays), quiet, no electric, extremely durable (this will last forever). The downside is it's much more hardcore; you definitely sweat. The lowest settings is not low enough. GoYouth allows work attire, Xiser demands gym clothes. So when I'm well-caffeinated and on fire, I'm on the stepper. When I'm kinda slogging, I'm on the GoYouth. If you have to pick one: - Pick Xiser if you're already quite fit, and relatively energetic by nature. - Pick GoYouth otherwise. [5/3/2023]: still going strong. Both of them. I stopped using the Xiser for work, because it's just too intense. Also because it requires manual engagement, vs treadmill's automatic engagement, which requires brainpower. Because I have both, I use the Xiser for actual exercise, or to think about complex problems with my eyes closed; and the treadmill for work-work. ~7hrs/d, 5d/wk. No belt adjustments yet, no controller replacement. At this point I no longer recommend the Xiser for standing desks, unless you're limited on space or outlets. In fact, don't bother buying it unless you have the spare cash and want an portable exercise solution in addition to your walking desk. Which you really don't need, since walking all day is 10k steps / 5 miles. Here are the links, since I never posted them. LMK if I need to remove the affiliate link. [9/23] My first adjustments. Belt started to drift, I used an Alan wrench to tighten the side where the belt is too close. Just a smidge. That fixed it, a few days in I haven't had to do anything else Alan wrench wise. I had to replace the batteries in the controller. Other than that, still good! I'm a bit insane at this point: 3.5mph most of the day. [11/23] Remote finally went out (buttons trigger other actions, like it's short-circuited). Messaged them on Amazon, they sent me a new one. Back in biz. Treadmill creaks a tad, I'm sure this 215lbs beefcake 40h/wk usage has some cracks somewhere, but it works perfectly. Still on that extended warranty thing, so dare I say I'm not even careful anymore. June 2022, ain't frickin' bad for a knock brand! I swear I could hall-of fame them for miles walked. I got back into Pokemon Go to rack up miles of egg-hatching & buddy candy while I work. [01/24] Made a blog post & video with a bunch of details, to help make the comparison. Looks like GoPlus made a come-back in their latest version. [01/25] More updates to the blog - I'm using Urevo now. My previous recommends served me wonderfully; but all that walking hurt my knees, so I needed 3% incline (research recommended) and shock-absorption. Plus some improved quality and bells-and-whistles. submitted by /u/lefnire to r/treadmills [link] [comments]
