[@leenassongs8851]

Can you this walking pad on carpet.?

[@MrNorthNJ]

I purchased one of these walking pads. I like having the ability to move it out of the way when not in use since I have limited space in the room I use it in. They do lack the incline function of a fuil-featured treadmill. I just take a piece of 1X2 or a 2X4 and stick it under the front of the unit to make the incline. when I want it. A low level hack for certain but it works.

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Good idea!

[@practice643]

Happy to hear that that is what you do! I haven’t bought my walking pad yet and I myself had the idea of putting something under the front legs to create the incline. Glad to hear your idea works because that was mine

[@petestorz172]

I bought the same model and started using it in January. I'm 6'0", a bit north of 300 lbs., and not young. I bought it primarily to add a bit of movement to my days. I used to walk half marathons, but more recently 10Ks and 5Ks. Your sequence of unpackaging it was exactly what I saw. The first thing I did, per the included booklet was to check belt lubrication. It was dry between the belt and the frame underneath, so I added oil, squished it back and forth to get it across the width of the belt, and then ran it for a minute or two to get the oil spread the length of the belt and frame. I did not need to adjust the belt position. I use it for 10-15 minutes, 3 or 4 times a week. For quite a while I was doing 3.0 mph, and a couple of weeks ago increased to 3.2 mph (I know, whoo-hoo!). I wish it had a bar across the front to help me stay centered, but I have it near a bookcase and lightly holding onto a shelf works fine. I do have to focus a little to stay centered L-R and F-B. That's the nature of the beast, not a defect, IMO. Has it helped me? Well, it adds ~.5 mile a day to whatever else I would do on work-out-days. Also, I have been VERY pleased with improved finish times in two recent 5Ks (I'm walking, so nothing world-beating). Another way of looking at it, $$, gym membership is ~$30/month here. I've used it in 4 months so far, so $120 saved, plus ~.15 gallon and ~20 minutes' round-trip drive every day I use it. From a $$ POV, it will have paid for itself in 8-9 months. Sorry, brevity is not my gift.

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Thanks for sharing your experience!

[@petestorz172]

One of the very slightly annoying things to me in how I was using this was I didn't feel comfortable walking (at 3.0 and 3.2 mph) hands free. So I had been resting my hand on a nearby bookshelf, just 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 which already had a purpose. Using a standing desk was not realistic, because $$ and space, but my wife thought of using an overbed table like what is used in hospitals and home care. It was just $70, assembled quickly, and is sturdy. It works a little better, because I can adjust the height, and get the walking pad to a slightly better position and angle.

[@Cloxxki]

Doing well there! Have you tried putting a riser under the front to amp up the workout for a given speed? Apart from the fitness side, how long can you mentally walk on it? Do you use it with a standing desk or TV? I am moving into a new place and considering a sit/stand desk and great monitor. All the reason to be there, standing. and with the threadmill...perhaps I could get a few hours of walking a day, during work or even just casual browsing/KZbin/binge watching?

[@petestorz172]

@@Cloxxki, I have thought of using something to elevate the front, but my weight suggests to me that support in the middle or a wedge would be prudent for durability. I usually have music or am reading. Between boredom and other factors my longest spell to date has been 20 minutes. Since writing the post above I have obtained an over-bed table (such as hospitals use) and use that for the tablet I'm using for reading. I don't have or have the space for a stand-up desk. The table - wheeled and adjustable height - was $70 on Amazon.

[@nasparveen8499]

Sorry if I'm telling you something you already know, but you can increase walking intensity by carrying weight. So if you had kettlebells, carrying a kettlebell makes it harder. Also you can fill a backback with sand and that'll get your heart rate right up.

[@FitnessFinance4u]

For sure. I just don't want to carry kettle bells, etc. I'm going to look for a treadmill that will get my heart rate up by having a bigger incline and faster speeds.

I bought this model and have used it for 30+ hours a week for about 6 months. Doing some regular oiling and that kind of cleaning. The biggest grip about it is the constant need for adjustments. I do really have to adjust this thing like 4 or 5 times a day (with about 7 hours of daily usage). It is basically impossible to keep this belt from sliding to one side or the other. I keep it right at 2mph.

[@ErikS308]

The updated model has a crossbar and will go up to 6 MPH, you can get your HR with it. Also, even in your home gym you didn't have it leveled. These lightweight units have to be level to ensure the belt runs true all the time. The newer model also has a much better display at your feet. It for sure isn't a true treadmill that can take the pounding real running would put on it but for what it is it seems to work for my wife.

[@FitnessFinance4u]

I'm glad to hear they've updated the model.

[@vivianorozco4128]

I really enjoyed your review. I am torn with so many options. I am looking for something not too bulky and decent price tag.

[@FitnessFinance4u]

That would probably help, but I also think the pad doesn't go quite fast enough to get me into fat burning mode even if I did raise the front of it. Also, adding wood to the set up would make more cumbersome when wanted to remove it, or set it up, as I don't always want the walking pad under my stand up desk.

Overall great review! I'm sure that other people have commented about this already, but this pad was specifically designed for walking while working. I don't believe that it was meant to be used to bring your heart rate up as much as a treadmill would. If getting to your "fat burning heart rate" was the case; you'd need to use your traditional treadmill. I think that the simple answer is that this is ONLY meant to walk and get your 10,000 steps in. Overall, seems like a great product and one that I will purchase. Thanks!

[@FitnessFinance4u]

After purchasing this, I realized that. Still on the lookout for an under desk treadmill with incline steep enough to burn fat though.

[@Eddie-tz5px]

@@FitnessFinance4u I believe that most people are looking for something similar, but just think about it... How would you or anyone be able to get any type of work done if you are on a "Pad" or "treadmill" that requires concentration? Simple answer is that someone will end up having an accident and that defeats the purpose of the PAD. The pad was simply designed to be slow enough so that you can actually get work done while not having to concentrate much on the fact that you're moving. Any other machine that would require a faster speed would make anyone lose their focus. Hope this helps.

This might be perfect for me. I work from home, and we're hitting the colder months in the UK, so I'll be doing even less walking than I normally would. I'm on the chunkier side, 131kg, and only 5ft8, so getting into fat burning mode should be easy enough with this

The "Thingy" which name you were looking for, is called an "Allen key"... Do you know if the model (or any small home treadmil model for that matter), supports the encline walk ? Thanks in advance for tour answer..

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Yes, thanks. I actually have a whole bunch of allen wrenches and just "blanked" on the name. Sperax does make another model on Amazon with an incline feature. right here. www.amazon.com/Sperax-Treadmill-Electric-Walking-Treadmills/dp/B0CN2D7QWL/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2J7Y5C21SRJCS&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.zLy70lmeZIAx48JzDOPWuQy3NVvUyWP3OuowYXiH-9dQnE6bzUkDybOfuoBHWuYoTgkh4wfsYjDuBz2uoDwuYfgosz5eHhWjDHMtrxBuiqMG_wZJ7uBraARxb2q15mw-seOW7RS6Fqel7f3_JOE4cuo1CAYiMCfceRvNOpc4xk2Q4fvDGMLq7jCJF3Lw5LG2XyJSHEiaacOiMDGvakBqzgqjq2jG4dCK866KVsUx4z0.VIRDFhuFap-7rUsml3HYsg-VHQ4mq9TUJt0Imb_QHX8&dib_tag=se&keywords=sperax%2Bwalking%2Bpad%2Bunder%2Bdesk%2Btreadmill%2Bincline&qid=1708530692&sprefix=sperax%2Bwalking%2Bpad%2Bwith%2Bin%2Caps%2C146&sr=8-3&th=1

I have been wondering if you can even run on this treadmill?? I've been looking everywhere to see reviews for running on this and they are few and far between. Let me know if you have plz! Btw I am 5"7 & 145 lbs. so idk if I am too tall or not?? I really l love the idea of this lightweight, easy to use treadmill, hoping it meets my expectations!! TIA!

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Brittany, I just answered your question on my other treadmill review here. I hope it helps! kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYSqe52sZrqHn8k

[@ladyhawk6999]

I just bought the one that inclined for convince sake. Nice machine and mine is really quiet . This will suit my needs very well . However, I was disappointed to find out the entire outfit won't be any good without the remote. Now should it accidentally be lost or damaged how are am I able to replace it? I'd like to get an extra just in case. I cannot find one anywhere!

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Bummer...I hope you can find an extra remote!

[@michaelforster4148]

Do you know where I can get a copy of the manual and a replacement remote?

[@FitnessFinance4u]

That's a good question Michael. I did some digging and couldn't even find a Sperax Website. I did find a Sperax Amazon page, but that was it. I also looked for Sperax remotes on Amazon and couldn't find one. Maybe go to the Amazon Sperax page and see if you find a "contact us" link? Here's the link www.amazon.com/stores/Sperax/page/A490534A-F825-4760-A994-C4B25B9EFA71?ref_=ast_bln

[@reneesue8815]

Just bought and was able to use once. The panel now says 888 across it and will not reset back to 000. I tried shutting off, unplugging etc. Wondering if you know how to reset?

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Renee...I haven't had that happen. I think it might be best to get in touch with Amazon and possibly return it right away. It might just be a faulty display. I'm sure this happens from time to time. Best to nip it in the bud right away so you return it in time under the warranty.

[@jackiemawdsley3721]

I recently bought a walking pad like this & I find a couple of times Ive lost my balance hurting myself, Does anyone have any tips/advice, Its starting to put me off using it , I have to look down at my feet the whole time Im on it and then literally leap off it when I want to finish 🤔

[@FitnessFinance4u]

I think you definitely have to be careful. Some people may be able to work or browse the internet while walking, while others can't. Maybe it's best if you just walk for 30 minutes with some good music or a podcast? Either way, you're moving your body!

[@practice643]

I haven’t bought one yet but I was thinking about that also. I want to be able to use it while standing at a desk so I can do computer work i.e. one thing for sure is catching up on all my emails. But I thought if I had an issue doing that I could position it looking out my window and simply watch what’s passing by while I’m walking on it

[@kellykellykel3]

How do you fix a e-7

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Sorry Kelly, but I don’t know. I have given my treadmill to a friend.

[@iashakezula]

I don’t think these walking board is for burning fat but for raising your heart rate and required steps especially for certain individuals who does not run walk on a regular basis outside.

[@FitnessFinance4u]

I agree

[@CarlosPiceno-r6o]

Thanks for the reviwe, it was helpfull cause im on my way to buy one.

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Glad I could help

[@falconeer1808]

Does it make a sound on the floor? As i am living on an apartment

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Yes it does, unless you put it on thicker carpet. Your downstairs neighbors might complain?

[@falconeer1808]

So it makes a sound right? I think not good for the apartment

[@GailFuhlman]

I bought it because my chiropractor and doctor told me I needed to move more. It should be here today

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Cool. I hope it works out for you!

[@CTBoom19]

I just bought this and it is not turning on? Plugged it in and the red power light is on, but not the digital screen and won't work with the remote or manual settings. Anyone else experience this? It did not come with a manual and I cannot find one online!

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Return it right away. Sounds like you got a lemon.

[@Dsinkz]

You can only walk on this one then?

[@FitnessFinance4u]

yes, it only goes up to 3mph

[@TeddyArmstrong-z2q]

I have the pad and it makes that high pitched humming also. Did you ever get yours to stop making the humming sound?

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Yes…it did stop after a while. It might be “muffled” by putting it on the carpet?

[@TeddyArmstrong-z2q]

@@FitnessFinance4u Thanks! I'll try that. It's driving me crazy!😇

[@Tbay007]

How tall are you? I am just looking for something that will keep me moving but I am 6'3, so I am hesitant on buying these portable treadmills because they seem relatively small.

[@FitnessFinance4u]

I'm 5' 10" and I fit ok. I don't think it's big enough for anyone over 6', so if I were you I would pass on this one. I'm sure there are ones that can handle your height out there. Good luck!

[@crystalv6122]

How do you know when you’re in fat burning mode?

[@FitnessFinance4u]

[@FitnessFinance4u]

No, it was good to go right out of the box!

[@FitnessFinance4u]

ha ha...thanks!

[@momma-kins6241]

I just found you, but LOVE YOUR UNBIASED REVIEWS!! I have a question I hope you can answer. I’m about your age, female, & a metastatic breast cancer survivor who lives in a cold climate. I’m also TALL (5’11” & long legs/stride). I often trip over the front of treadmills at the gym if I walk at a very fast pace. Do you think I would have difficulty with this machine for days when I can’t get outside to walk d/t weather or sickness??? Thank you for your time & hard work. You have a new subscriber!!😉

[@momma-kins6241]

Also, if you read this… Maybe try ankle weights to get your heart pumping?? I can’t run b/c of my mid 40yo tiny ankles & knees, but I have found adding 10lbs around my ankles (or wrists & pumping/lifting my arms) always increases my BPM!! (Just a suggestion!!💞;)

[@momma-kins6241]

Are you able to add a couple of boards or padding under the front to create some elevation?? (Sorry for all the comments!! lol)

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Thanks for watching and congratulations for being a cancer survivor! I'm 5'10" and it works fine. I imagine if you were 6'1" or over it could be an issue. You can always send it back. Best of luck!

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Not a bad idea, but I don't wan't to put any extra strain on my joints with the ankle weights. 😃

[@FitnessFinance4u]

i'm sure you could, but I need a pretty dramatic increase on the angle to get my hear rate up.

[@celloblass3403]

A weighted vest will help

[@FitnessFinance4u]

true

[@thinkjon]

Your speed appears slow, that's not going to increase your heart rate. What is the max speed of the machine?

[@petestorz172]

3.8 mph.

[@FitnessFinance4u]

[@CatholicKetovore]

Dude. I want this. As long as I can get moving that's all that matters! Lol. Awesome review BTW.

[@FitnessFinance4u]

True. Moving, even a little bit, is better than standing around!

Thanks...yes you are right. I don't have an affiliate link for this.

[@elissomichmicha4783]

Is it silent? Or noisy?

[@FitnessFinance4u]

It’s pretty quiet as long as you have some sort of pad or rug underneath it.

[@Orange_Tang]

I saw that they have an electric lift version now that says it goes up to 12% grade. Have you thought about trying out that version?

[@johnkesel8344]

Just the steps alone would be good. Thanks for the review

[@FitnessFinance4u]

[@asp4488]

There is a safety issue if you have more than one at home...the remote control is also controlling other treadmills and there is no adjustment for this.

[@FitnessFinance4u]

Interesting. That's the first I've heard of that.
