Recommend a walking pad please

I would like to buy a walking pad to help me exercise at home. Does anyone have one they recommend - that will not break, is sturdy and can fold away without taking a lot of space? Thank you.

I don’t have a recommendation for a walking pad as after much research I ended up buying a treadmill. Walking pads can have fold down “arms” so they can be slid under a sofa or similar. I wanted one to run on as well so went for the treadmill. Things to look for in reviews are how noisy it is, max speed, does it get hot after only a short while etc.

Some of them do fold. I have this folding one

I wanted it to get a few steps at a standing desk in while working but it's been great during this long period of constant sideways rain.

The max speed for most of them is only 6km/hr which for me is a brisk ish walk but not enough to get my heart rate up much. I've taken to wearing a weighted vest between 6kg and 10kg and a pair of 2.5kg ankle weights if I want a harder walk.

I’m watching with interest as am in the market for one too. I have seen Deer Run mentioned in a thread earlier this year on MN and I’ve been looking at those but open to other options too.
