Can someone advise on choosing a walking pad please?

I don't want a big treadmill, but something much lower key. Something more "hideable" than a big machine.

I want to increase walking, but for a couple of reasons I don't want to be outside

I've only looked on Amazon, but there seems to be a huge range in prices for walking pads. What should I be looking for? Are there definite "must have" features to look for? Is it the case that you get what you pay for, or are the lower priced ones just as good as the more expensive ones?

I bought one second hand from Facebook. I've decided it's not for me, as it exacerbates an existing giddiness problem I have. Whilst the one I got does fit under my desk, I don't think I got one at the right leg length for me (I'm 5ft 7 and the stride length felt too short) and I kept crashing into the edges of it. So I'd say get one that's suitable for people with a long stride. After a lot of practice I also found that I couldn't do emails even at a slow pace.

I'm glad I got one second rather to test it out than buy a new one, as I too found it difficult to work out what I should buy. Good luck

thank you @Iamnotavicar - that's useful points to bear in mind. 😊

Some of them record your steps. There's folding ones - think about how much space you have and where it will go when not being used.

I have thr Urevo one on Amazon, it doesn't do any of those but is great. I bought it with a 5 year warranty just in case.

To add, I don't want to put you off! It could be that they are not for me irrespective of the type and/or I got the wrong one
