The main complaint I heard from walking pad is that it died just after people's warranties were up. I really like the folding feature but it doesn't seem as durable overall.
I'm at the beginning of my search for a walking pad and this video has been really helpful. Every point you made makes a lot of sense and really helps. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the tips! What standing desk do you have? How is the desk wobble when using the walking pad?
Thanks for this great info!
Glad it was helpful!
thanks, that was very helpful, the best explanation I found)
Great! I appreciate you watching and your comment :)
Thank you for the video! Any luck on the code? Hope I can use the discount!
Really appreciate this, just ordered one
Glad to hear it was helpful!
Very good and thorough review. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Very informative. Thank you!
I also was thinking about the speed and found many walking pads go to 4mph at most and since I'm recovering from a foot injury, I prefer walking pace, but I also wanted one with some incline and I found two, they're a bit pricy but worth it for me.
I used to prefer going outside then speding on a tredmill but something it gets late and I really don't want to get exposed to the insecurity outside since I'm from Mexico... so choosing the walking pad it is! 😊
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching :)
I described my usage above, some. The Sperax I have is 3.8 mph max speed. I've used it a bit over 3 months, and for most of that I was doing 3.0 mph (20-minute mile). I recently bumped up to 3.2 mph. One of the "features" I wanted from the walking pad is that weather, time of day, and traffic are irrelevant. The minimum speed of my pad is .6 mph, and for your recovery the slower speeds may be helpful for rebuilding endurance.
In an apartment you need a some cushioning under your treadmill, there a re loads available. As for you power these thing as only 918watts they should not be causing any electrical problems which in the US is about 7-8amps perhaps your apartment has an electrical issue.
What about noise levels? I intend to use my walking pad in the office, it's a big concern.
The usability will depend on the noise level in your office and whether you have cubicle walls that dampen sound. I think I could use mine in my cubicle if sound were the key consideration, but it might be a close call. The whir of the motors is not the main sound, it's the footfalls of each step.
Really great presentation skills and info. Thanks!
Thank you 😊 I’m glad it was helpful!
I have fallen off the side of the walking pad you are showing multiple times but I do have balance issues - It's also pretty dangerous when you fall of it
Do you happen to know if the affiliate code is working now?
I'm a different sort of user than this very helpful reviewer in some ways. I'm older, 6" tall, and a bit north of 300 lbs. I walk one or two 5K and/or 10K running events a month and my work includes a decent amount of walking about the building. My weight and budget pretty much determined what I bought (though what I have was not expensive, and I don't know if higher priced brands/models have the 320 lb. weight limit I bought). My belt surface is 37 1/2" x 15". Because of my stride I wish it were a bit longer, and I do have to focus some on where I am so I don't drift too far left or right. I would find a fold-up bar useful for that, but I positioned the pad near furniture I can use to help stay in the right area of the belt. What is my "Why?" I'm just trying to add a bit more activity into my day, basically an extra half mile, 3 or 4 times a week. That really is not a lot, but my finish times in my most recent 5Ks have been the best I've done in a couple of years. So that benefit has happened faster and greater than I anticipated. Were I to join a gym, that would be ~$30/month, plus gas and travel time ... in that sense the pad will pay for itself in 8 or 9 months.
One of the very slightly annoying things to me in how I was using the walking pad was I didn't feel comfortable walking (at 3.0 and 3.2 mph) hands free, which is why I rested my hand on a nearby bookshelf, to keep centered on the belt (not for balance). A week or so ago I changed to walking at 2.0 mph while reading, for about the same duration, and doing this hands-free. It worked, but I had to move the walking pad back and forth, because I was using a table for my tablet which already had a purpose. Using a standing desk was not realistic for me, because $$ and space, but my wife thought of using an overbed table like hospitals and home care use. It was just $70, assembled quickly, and is sturdy. It works a little better, because I can adjust the table height, and get the walking pad to a slightly better position and angle.
Does anyone know if the apple watch works by counting steps when you put it on your leg?
I’ve heard of people doing this, but I’ve never tried it!
It does work. I do this with my manual treadmill and I use the fitness app along with steps app to compare between the two. I definitely don't think it's 100% accurate, most devices are not, but it is a good ballpark to measure progress over time. Hope this helps. 🙂
Was hoping you'd mention if they have a silent feature because it the constant beeping while changing speeds can be loud and annoying.
I saw mention elsewhere under the cover the beeper can be removed without damage to the electronics.
loudnesss should also be a factor to consider
Great point! Totally agree :)
@@MissSarahEKso can you recommend a walking pad with incline possibility which is (relatively) quiet? having a hard time to choose between products but you seem to be the guru x)
The discount code doesn't work
Unfortunately I've been having some issues with the link/code and I'm still waiting to hear back from the brand on updating it. I will update it as soon as I can. Thanks for flagging!
any update on ur code not working? i might just bite the bullet and buy it for $450 on their official site
Unfortunately I still haven't heard back from them yet for the US coupon, so I've just tried emailing them again 😔. The only coupon that appears to be working is for the UK site in case you happen to be ordering from there: walkingpad.pxf.io/c/1358364/1771351/16080.
@@MissSarahEK😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
