I am in the market for a walking treadmill to use under my desk in my office at work. The features I care most about in order of priority are:
1) Quiet 2) Easy to move out of the way when I want to lower my desk and sit (not sure whether that means light weight or foldable) 3) Cushiony 4) Able to slightly incline (though this is not a deal breaker) I don't need high speeds, handles, a long bed, or a high weight limit (I'm short and small). Willing to pay more for something that won't break quickly. TIA for any recommendations! |
Sorry. I don't have any recommendations but out of curiosity, are you getting this to build cardio? Lose Weight? How many calories would someone burn per hour using one of these? |
NP, I burn about 80 calories from a 20 minute walk at 2.4mph. |
Did you find one OP? Curious cause I cannot imagine one be very quiet if it goes over 1MPH. |

Mine doesn't incline. This one is probably newer. But the one I have is probably as quiet as you'll get. I don't use it under a desk. I have it set up behind my sofa to walk on while watching tv or for ten minutes while dinner cooks or such. It does not have handlebars; but there are versions that do. The front end is on wheels, so you can tilt it up and wheel it out of the way. If you have the space under your desk, you can also just tilt it up on its side and lean it against the side of your desk. I don't see how fast this one goes; but mine goes up to 3.8 mph. I've had it for a few years now. It was easy to set up and I have had no issues with it at all. Unlike our old treadmill, it's quiet enough that I can still hear the tv while using it without turning the tv volume to a ridiculously high level. |
DP but interesting. Thanks. |
Try the walkolution - it’s manual so it is completely silent. Unbreakable. I love mine! |
Highly paid lawyer here in dual working family and I would not spend at that price point. It does look awesome though! I’ll wait for someone to knock it off. Not that I’m super excited about $150 pieces of equipment from Amazon either made with children’s tears and the last clean water from the Yangtze River that seem destined to break soon. World’s gone mad. |
