Recommendations for under-desk walking pad/treadmill

I'm hoping someone on here might have recommendations for an under-desk walking pad or treadmill.

I'm lucky that I have a sit-stand desk that can be raised or lowered. I work from home and I'm a single parent to a four year old so no flexibility in getting out for a walk in the evening. I also help to care for my dad in his 80s who lives locally.

Some days I can get outside for a walk but days when my schedule doesn't allow or it's raining heavily it's not possible.

I haven't used one and would be cautious about buying without trying - I imagine it's a lot harder to concentrate on work than you might imagine. Hopefully someone with experience will come along.

I recommend one on Amazon made by a company called 'dripex', it has handles to use as a treadmill or can be removed as a walking pad. It was about 300 but is a nice piece of kit!

What do you do when you work from home. I can't imagine walking and typing or using a mouse, I'd be all over the place.

I have a lot of Teams meetings so I could use it while on calls or else at night when my son is asleep.
