Mini Treadmill for Home use

[photoshop]

Hi All,

With the weather changing and the darker nights drawing in I am not getting out as much as i would like to so looking for a mini-treadmill for home use which can be stored out the way.

Seen a few reccomendations with most mini suffer from one issue or another and reliability is hit and miss.

Does anyone have one or use a mini treadmill at home which they can pass comment on?

Thanks

Sorry guys, i should have mentioned in my OP that i will be using it for walking rather than running.

My weight is 140Ib (64kg).

Not sure the mini ones are up to real world use to be honest.

I bought this one from Argos almost two years ago and find it good myself.

Problem is the price was £280 and now its £440 but im guessing all treadmills have gone up.

The other issue is it is very heavy, hard to move around and not mini.

Thanks.
That has very good reviews on Argos. As you say, since covid, teh price of all fitness stuff has massively increased.

A few questions for you:

How long is the power lead and is it fixed to the machine?
Does the belt ever slip?
Is it noisey?
Have you had any issues in the two years of ownership?
How often do you use it?

Wouldn't an elliptical trainer be better if you are only walking on it?

Or get a dog, I do over 15,000 steps a day walking mine.

I hate using those things.
No dogs, cant look after myself at the best of times nevermind anything else

It will end up being a clothes horse, just go outside, far more bearable than a treadmill

Cant always go outside thats the thing. The wet British weather and the cold just doesnt motivate.

Atleast with a mini-treadmill i can jump on it whilst still at work (wfh) inbetween meetings and breaks and that way i dont need to get all my walking in one go at the end of the day.

Is pacing round the house not an option? Pick two points and walk between them, you could be chatting to someone on the phone at the same time, to alleviate bordem.
I racked up 5000 steps in one go doing that.

Ive been doing that of late but the mrs isnt happy about the noise as we have hard wood flooring.
