Does anyone have any recommendations?

People who have them are they worth buying?

I bought one second hand and my husband scoffed at me. He uses it just as much as I do. I like getting out but if the weather is vile I can go on for a few half hour segments.

I have one. I've walked 4 miles on it today. In some ways I wish I had gone for a proper treadmill as I have to hold on to something for balance and it has no handle bar and the walking surface is a bit shorter than a treadmill but on the plus size it's easy to move and store it if I have people round. I keep it in our orangery and there's a tv in there to take my mind off what I'm doing and make the time go quicker. Mine is too noisy to have in the lounge.

@BashfulClam @annonymousse

Thankyou for your replies. Which ones do you have?

Tried to copy the link but it won't let me. I bought it from Amazon. I've attached a screenshot which might take a while to show.

I bought one recently and use it a lot. I do have one with a handlebar. It’s particularly great when the weather is rubbish.

I have one that I bought from TikTok, which has a foldable handle. I often hop on for 10-15 minutes throughout the day. It displays what speed you are walking at (in KMs - I cant work out how to change to miles, but I think if I downloaded the app, it would be in there), calories burned, number of steps, how long you have been walking and a fifth thing, which I can't remember.

It's heavier than I expected, but I don't need to move it as I leave it up permanently in the dining area, out of the way.

I think I paid around £85 for it.

I have had one for around 18 months and walk on it most days for at least 30 minutes (more recently with a weighted vest). It was from Amazon too.
