This was a nice review of the treadmill and a nice breakdown on the issues it has and what to watch out for. I have to say I think your crazy for buying this type of treadmill if your a runner. It is not at all designed for running no matter how it is advertised or how fast it can go MPH. This is a walking pad, period. If you expect to run on a treadmill that will last, you need to purchase a solid full sized treadmill, like a Horizon, ProForm, Sole which are usually the budget brands but should last for 3-5 years at least. Using this walking pad to run on, Is like using a crowbar to hammer in a nail, sure it can work in a pinch but it's not what it is designed for. It's the wrong tool for the job. The fact that you somehow managed to get a year and a half out of the first one, by running on it, you should count yourself lucky.
Agree completely. My wife actually got it so that she could walk while working at her desk at home. Since the winters here are not the nicest and I lose motivation to get out the door and run as I age, I couldn't help but try to put some miles on it. I knew better, but I had to try lol. They really should limit this unit to 5mph maximum to stop people from thinking they can use it for running. Since I posted this video, I burned up the motor in the one I was using (the stator completely detached and was grinding on the rotor). The heat sensor was kaputt in the other one, so I "Frankenstein-ed" all the parts and once again have a functioning treadmill. We now lift it off the ground with a 3/4" plywood slab on each end for cooling and my wife no longer allows me to run on it. :)
Regarding the overheating - the manual tells to place on smooth ground, so I think a carpet will not allow enough airflow underneath to prevent overheating
Agreed. I have been running it on 3/4" plywood lately, but it still gets really hot. It's just a bad treadmill (cheap in every sense of the word) when all is said and done.
I play vrchat often in my free time, and am watching a way to be constantly active while talking with my friends. I'm around 145~150lbs, and want to exclusively walk on it. The handlebar seems extremely useful to keep my balance while being unable to see my surroundings. I have a carpeted floor and will absolutely use that carboard trick as well as fans directly on it. This seems like the perfect purchase for me, thank you for being upfront with the downsides. They seem like issues I can pretty easily mitigate. I'm also decently crafty so the "option/possible neccesity" to reinforce it seems like a fun challenge if I need to.
The reason why you keep over heating is due to the unit sitting on carpet. You need to place it either on a hard surface or place a pad between the unit and your rug. Rug fibers tend to drift up into the motor restricting airflow, shortening the life of the motor...
Now THIS is a real review of this treadmill. The others are just cookie-cutter scripted reviews. Just RUclipsrs fulfilling their end of a business deal with this company.
DeeRun 3 in 1 treadmillhas a warrantee for two years, not one. And, it has a 3.0 motor, not 2.5. Max speed is at 7.6 mph, with max weight of 300 pounds. Just make sure to use the silicone lubricant upon first use, then every 100 hours of use.
The motor gets hot, and the heat sink -- which is supposed to dissipate the heat -- is too small for this unit. If you touch the display area near the front/bottom of the treadmill it will be very hot to the touch. If you are just walking, it doesn't get that hot.
Yes, and I've had to Frankenstein the thing once again with parts from both units since releasing this video to get it to work again. Needless to say, my wife no longer lets me run on it and it is for her to walk on only.
Honestly, these are called a “walking pad” for a reason. Although you can run on them, they are designed for walking.

We have since started using 3/4" plywood to prop it up for better ventilation on the carpet. Much better than cardboard. Good luck with yours!

Thanks for your review as I was about to order this Urevo walking pad. I’m not light weight nor handy😢 so, I’m going back to the drawing board.🤷🏻♀️

This exact one I have stopped working after 1 year with an E07 error code.
What would you suggest as an alternative?
Go walk outside.
@@vipnetworker Lmao
how can u tell it gets hot? which parts get hot
The motor gets hot, and the heat sink -- which is supposed to dissipate the heat -- is too small for this unit. If you touch the display area near the front/bottom of the treadmill it will be very hot to the touch. If you are just walking, it doesn't get that hot.
Hi, do you wanna review or test our batteries?
Thank you so much I was leaning forward to this pad.
It has a horrible burning smell, wouldn’t use without opened windows
I've had one for half a year now, it has no smell whatsoever.
@@discodiffusioner yeah, its all about how you use it..dumb users will get into trouble as usual.
Why don’t you contact the manufacturer and create your own walking pad, you did such a great job…
U basically built a new one heeh
Yes, and I've had to Frankenstein the thing once again with parts from both units since releasing this video to get it to work again. Needless to say, my wife no longer lets me run on it and it is for her to walk on only.
