I spend a lot of hours on meetings and long working days. I was feeling bad about just sitting for 4-5 hours straight and not having more time to exercise. Now I use the walkingpad for some of the meetings throughout the day. Averaging 3 miles p/day and hoping to up the number. It helps me even have a better mood and handle stress better.
I've been using it daily for a week and I LOVE it. It slides under my very narrow, old desk, which was hard to accommodate.
DO PAY ATTENTION when you start it up: you have to calibrate the belt so it doesn't pull left or right (easily adjusts with included allen wrench). If you fail to do this, you will ruin your treadmill belt.

I bought this a year ago, and had immediate issues. It doesn't stay level on the floor (and I have tried many different types and placed things under the walking pad) but it still wobbles with every step I take. Walking Pad replaced it with the same type of pad, but after a few weeks it went back to the same exact issue.
I have never been able to hook up the remote with eithre of the walking pads I received. I am goig on about 16 months of having it and it is extremely loud and I don't know how to fix it.
I want to love it so bad, but I have truly only had troubling experiences with this one and will be looking to purchase elsewhere in the near future unfortunately.

The walking pad works fine, and is easy to fold up. the plug somehow got pushed inside the body of the treadmill, but I was able to reconnect it at least once. The remote never worked for me, so I can only operate it with the app and the app is awful (read the app store reviews). Right now, the sync to apple health not working, but the "help" form in the app is also not working. The product is overall functional but not the highest quality and support is minimal to non-existent.
It is very narrow, which means that I am constantly stepping on part of the tread and the side and nearly falling. The app is not recommended by Google Play, meaning it probably has viruses, which meant I couldn't walk faster than 1.9 mph until I hit .6 miles. I think this machine is probably overpriced and you can get one that is about the same from another company for way less money.
Wasn't as seamless to set up as expected. The remote was finicky and the battery wouldn't connect well. I finally go tit work. I made sure the belt was in place, and after 30 minutes of light walking it moved and shredded the material on it. After working with it, the belt doesn't stay in place well. Not sure what I will do.
I love having a walking treadmill in my office, this one does the job and it's easy to move around when I want to. I was surprised how easy it was to set up. I've used the app and the remote to operate the treadmill and both have worked fine for me. A couple reasons I give this 4 and not 5 stars: I only use the manual setting, the automatic one I end up going way too fast, that may just be a personal issue though. It is a little louder than I'd prefer but it IS a treadmill, it's not going to be whisper-quiet. If I don't unplug the machine after I'm done using it, it'll randomly start beeping every few minutes in a standby mode and I cannot figure out how to turn that off.
