Walking pad recommendations

Hi all!
I’ve decided a walking pad would be a good investment (hopefully), but there are so many out there, so am after recommendations. Nothing top end price wise- but of course it might be a case of you get what you pay for :/
thank you!

Just joining as I'm also looking into this.

I tried a cheaper-end Walkpad brand one but it broke after only 3 uses, the conveyor belt thing that goes round came loose and didn’t stay on, so I returned it. It was noisy compared to a stairmaster, rower and elliptical. It was heavy to move around and felt wobbly compared to walking at the gym (no side rails).

I’d still like one if could find a better model for a low price 😆

Its a little noisy but so it the gym treadmill
... I don't use it on calls and it doesnt interfere with netflix watching!

I bought it after I had my youngest 2 yrs ago and still going strong.

I'm also looking into this. I'm tall with abnormally long legs so I need one that's a bit longer than average - I tried a friend's one and found I had to shorten my stride to avoid stepping off the belt!

I got a super run walking pad from Amazon - it was £75 on offer and it’s great. Not too noisy and feels stable. Easy to move around on wheels. @Thesummer they do different lengths for taller people so might be worth a look

I have a WalkingPad Z1. No complaints! Use it with my standing desk all the time.
