Help picking a walking pad for daily 10-15k steps
Hello
I've been trying to find a good and properly working walking pad for the past year without much luck. I work from home and do overtime fairly often (that's gamedev for you), so I need a sustainable way of keeping myself more active while I also work.
I'm fairly overweight and tall, 1.87m, 125kg. I'm currently going to the gym and try to keep a better diet, but it's going very slow considering in most of the days i barely do 1k steps and 6-7k steps in the days i go to gym (2-3x / week).
Going to the gym didn't necessarily help me much. I do both strength training and 30m of walking pad with a high walking speed and some incline. I built some muscles on my upper body, but the rest of the body is still "overweight".
I'm from eastern europe so i don't have many options unfortunately, and the ones I do have are generally more inaccessible compared to central or western europe countries (i.e., I can find an Ureveo Spacewalk 5L for 300 euro on their EU website, they dont deliver where i live, but there's a website selling it through a third-party seller for 515 euro and that doesn't include delivery).
I bought an Zipro Newlite, but since it's max. weight capacity is 110kg it started having some issues, so I still have it, and I hope to fix and use it later when I get back to my target weight.
I tried a cheap chinese brand, Yesoul W2, this one started to emit a burning smell 15 minutes in after using it for like 10 days. Returned it.
I recently tried an Urevo Spacewalk E4W. This one started making a squeeky noise every a couple of seconds after only 2 days. Returned it.
TLDR:
Now I'm thinking of trying my luck with a few more options, but I'm unsure
- DeerRun Q1
- DeerRun Q2
- DeerRun A1 Pro
- DeerRun A6 Plus
- DeerRun Z10
- DeerRun Z10 Pro
- DeerRun Z20
- Urevo Spacewalk 5L
- Urevo Spacewalk FoldiMix 5L
I'm yet to decide which one of the DeerRun might be a better deal than the others (looking into more reviews and what-not, using gemini/chatgpt to get some more info, etc.)
So far I'm a bit more settled on the Urevo Spacewalk 5L, but damn it so much more expensive with the only option I have. (I could order it from Amazon (Germany), but it's only slightly better and it's sold by a third party seller).
Do you have any other recommendations?
