DeerRun Walking Pad 2 in 1 Under Desk Treadmill, 2.5HP Low Noise Walking Pad Running Jogging Machine with Remote Control for Home Office, Lightweight Portable Desk Treadmill Installation Free

This treadmill kept popping up in my social media feeds. Though I wasn't in the market for a treadmill, I was intrigued by the small, slim size, and apparent sturdiness of the device. I had this model in my cart for a couple of weeks before going through with the purchase. Even though the price was very reasonable, I wanted to measure my level of commitment, so as not to have another piece of exercise equipment collecting dust for a year or two, until it gets hauled out for the community garage sale or the donation box. I'm glad that I chose to buy it. First off, the treadmill was packed so safely and securely, which I found reassuring. All pieces were accounted for (there is no assembly required, but it does come with lubricating oil, a screwdriver and Allen wrench, and an extra battery for the remote control), and the instructions were simple and clear. The treadmill is sturdy, and carries my weight effortlessly (I am 197 lbs.). The active walking area feels a bit short for my stride; this is my fault, as I chose model size based on the floor space I would be using the treadmill, rather than my stride length. This has not ruined the experience for me. I just walk at a more relaxed clip (think an outdoor walk with a friend that involves plenty of talking with the walking). My model (90 cm) is the mid-size, with 42.44" length. The 100 cm is 46.38" long. The treadmill does not shake, rattle, or slip when in use. I have had professional gym-quality treadmills in my home over the years, and while their quality and capabilities are top-notch, they tend to take up so much space, and they are next to impossible to move. This treadmill is not that, and it works great as I need it to.

I originally bought this in September and loved it but in February it died. I contacted the company and they made me feel so comfortable in addressing the issue and offering a resolution. The communication was awesome and shortly before they shipped me the new one they told me they were upgrading me, they gave me a color choice, told me I didn't have to worry about returning the old one. The product came quickly and I have loved it. My only minor grip is I have had to adjust the belt several times and I didn't have that issue with the last one but I am happy, I would buy again, and I do recommend it to everyone I talk to when discussing exercising.

I love how small it is. It is no problem for me to roll it around and then prop it against the wall to store it. The only things I don't like is that if you lose the remote, there would be no way to use it. I also wish there was a way to pause it so it would keep all the info there about how much you've walked already instead of having to just stop and start over. It is hard for me to balance without holding onto anything, so I bought a walking stick, and that does the trick. Overall, I love it and use it weekly.

Funny stories, lessons learnedI purchased the treadmill for use under my desk while at work. It’s awesome. Lightweight, does what I need it to do. Doesn’t incline or check HR- which is fine because I’m not training for a marathon while at work. It’s great!But…….I’ve learned some pretty funny lessons.1st- When your husband walks into the room to talk to you, do NOT, under any circumstances, try and turn your body all the way around to acknowledge him. This may result in getting off balance. And when you are off balance while the treadmill is moving, and turned around almost 180’, you may become extremely …unstable. Then as your unstableness is in action, you may want to grab on to something to prevent the action fall but alas- there are no side rails to catch you. So one might end up flailing like one of those used car dealership blowup things. When you have almost fallen to the ground, your husband may try and help you, but due to the comical, unprofessional, rookie stunt fall you are about to do, all he can do is watch in slow motion. Because there is no stop/ kill button, tab, or attachment- you may not be able to blame him or hold a grudge for years to come.2nd- Do not be tempted to walk barefoot on this thing. One may not realize the impact it has until about a mile in when you start feeling warmth on the bottom of your feet. Although this may be due to the mechanics of the treadmill, this is also due to you neglecting the sticker that’s literally on the treadmill that says we recommend you wear shoes. It’s almost like walking on burned coals- you know you shouldn’t do it, but do it anyway. You may not feel anything as you do it (and may think to yourself, ‘wow this actually is kind of awesome. I wonder why more people aren’t doing this?) but afterwards it’s gonna leave a mark and you will 100% understand why people don’t do this, and why the company had to make a sticker to say don’t do that.3rd- I’m 5’7” and 180# (yes, that’s why I bought this- so far this treadmill is completely unusable and useless as a clean laundry shelf or a place to hang clothes). Apparently I have the gate of Big Foot because I’m either scuffing the front of the treadmill or feeling the road is going to end at the back. It took some getting used to. Turns out the position I have it under the desk really does affect how you’re walking. But it is a lesson learned in how to walk. Can’t trip on the front and can’t fall off the back.4th and final thing I learned. When you decide to increase the speed while working, make sure that when you talk to your coworkers you’re not out of breath because people are gonna gossip and you don’t want them to get the wrong idea. Haters are gonna hate.That’s it! 5 stars! No complaints, just lessons learned :)
