But how do you choose the right one?
We did some cursory research into our WalkingPad P1 before buying and definitely struck lucky.
In two years of use, it has never once let us down.
Even the smallest, lightest option is going to be relatively large and heavy.
However, one of the joys weve found using our P1 is its flexibility.
Even the lightest options these days weigh upwards of 50lbs and their design makes them difficult to store.
Our WalkingPad is out all the time, even when its not in use.
Oh, also: wheels.
The P1 has wheels, and you should never buy an under-desk treadmill without wheels.
That gives you access to a couple of features including activity tracking, child lock, and more.
In over two years with the P1, weve never used this app once.
The beauty of this model is the simplicity of its remote.
The P1 also doesnt come with a display this is included in the remote instead.
Noise
Every under-desk treadmill on the market comes with a noise rating.
Generally, theyre quieter than normal treadmills because theyre small and put out less power.
Our P1 has a fairly unique design that sits very close to the ground.
If youre walking on one youll need a good set of headphones, possibly even noise cancelling.
Firstly, if you want to run, an under-desk treadmill of any kind isnt for you.
Conversely, the fairly paltry-sounding top speed of most under-desk treadmills is actually very fast.
Our P1 is rated for up to 6kph or just over 3.7mph.
Obviously, another important factor will be your budget, as will the user weight limit.
