CITYSPORTS Treadmills for Home, Under Desk Treadmill Walking Pad with Audio Speakers, Slim & Portable Remote Dual LED Display, Office Home (Black and Red)

I work from home at this point, so find myself being much more sedentary vs. a few years ago when I was going into the office. Walking from the parking deck, going up/down stairs, walking to lunch all added up to quite a bit of walking throughout the day. Now that I'm not doing that, I had been walking a fraction of the distance. So, I ordered this to try to be better about getting a little more activity in my day. It has far exceeded my expectations. I'm able to easily get 4-5 miles of walking in per day now. It's quiet enough that I can do internal conference calls while walking. I'm told the noise level is barely noticeable (I'm sure that partly depends on your mic setup and how much noise cancelling your web conf software does). I have also gotten pretty comfortable at typing while walking, as I have it under a standing desk. I can't walk much faster than 1.8 or 2.0 mph and still type, but that stills some great activity. I do make more typos, but I'm pretty good at catching and fixing them at this point. I am actually walking right now as I'm typing this review! There was nothing to do from an install standpoint, other than take it out of the box and remove the packaging. I only have a few suggestions/criticisms, and they're all relatively minor. First, as others have mentioned, I wish it would remember the distance on the counter across sessions. That way I'd more easily be able to keep track with total distance on the day and the just clear it every morning. As it is, I just have a noted or spreadsheet window open and type the distance any time I stop. I know it's a little nitpicky, but sometimes I forgot to log it, so it would be nice if it just kept up with it all day and not clear the number every stop/start. Second is the fact that I can't see any way to start/stop/control speed on the unit itself. The remote works well, but it's a proprietary remote and if you lose it or it breaks, then it looks like you'll have a giant paperweight. The remote, thus far, never leaves my desk, so it's not directly a problem. But, just worried about the future. Finally, I wish the cord came out of the unit on the side. The treadmill itself is very light and has wheels on the front edge. So, when I want to lower my desk down and sit, It's very easy to pick up the back edge with one hand and roll it forward and out of the way of my chair. However, because the cord comes out of the front of the unit, it tends to roll over the cord and then I have to pull it out before I roll it back and use it again. Again, none of these are a big deal, but that's every item that in any way has affected my use. But, besides that, I've been walking 4-5 miles over 2-3 sessions during each workday. I really love how it's increased my activity level and I'm doing so while also getting work done. Absolute win in my world -- extremely pleased with this product!

The machine doesn't work, and I can't get any word back from the seller to rectify the situation.

I have only used this once, so we will see. So far works great. Ready to go out of the box. I didn't realize I had bought a mint green treadmill. That threw me for a loop, then I decided I liked it. My only problem is where to store it. I knew it wouldn't go under my bed because I have drawers built in but I expected to be able to put it under the couch and it is too tall for that. Right now I have it standing up and just hope it doesn't fall down. I know some of the other ones out there show them stored standing but this one doesn't and there is nothing in the booklet about how to store it. I thought I could always take it into my master bedroom and put it under the bed there, but it doesn't roll that well. I had to get down on the floor and check if there really were wheels there because it felt like I was dragging it. It is light though, so I don't have a problem dragging it (or wheeling it on the not-so-great wheels). Lastly, I am 5'5' and I don't think anyone much taller than myself would be comfortable on it. It is pretty narrow as well, which I thought I would like (easier to store), but if I take long strides, I sometimes hit my foot on the back edge. So far, I have just used it in front of the TV. Tomorrow, I hope to try it out while I'm working during some of my meetings.

The treadmill is very easy to set up. It just plugs in but it is fairly heavy. It does have wheels on one end which make it much easier to move around. The power switch is on the side on the right so you can have it plugged in but turn it off and on. It also has a small remote that fits snugly into the face plate of the base. There are no side to support you or grab onto when you walk so make sure you are ok with that. You can set it up close to something you can grab if that is a concern. You do need to keep the remote in hand or in a pocket which is a little inconvenient. It does not have an emergency stop pull cord but you can hit the off button on the remote and it will gradually take you to a stop. The rubber tread part is thin and it has two weird mark diagonal marks on it (see pic). They don’t create any issues but it just looks a bit strange. The treadmill works well for anyone at or under 265 pounds per the manufacturers guidelines. I do like that it tracks calories and how long you have been on it. This way you don’t have to set a timer or wear a watch. You can just jump on and go. It has speeds from 0.6-3.8 mph but no incline. It’s simple but so much better than a large one because it only takes up a small amount of space. The treadmill does connect to your phone/laptop via Bluetooth. Just go to Bluetooth under settings and it should show up as MAXFREE00000 (the number is different depending on your device). Just click on it and it connects. Once connected you can select a song or playlist and it plays on the speaker of the treadmill. You control the volume with your phone. This is great because you don’t have to hold your phone while walking but can still listen to music and not have to worry about ear buds. I like this treadmill because it smaller and compact. It can be stored under a bed or desk or even a couch and you can roll it out anytime you want to use it. It’s easy to use and even has a good speaker for music. It’s worth the price and I recommend it for basic exercise.

This is a nice little treadmill and will probably work for most people but ultimately it wasn’t the best use for me. It is very convenient in size and weight; it’s still bit heavy for one person to lug around if you don’t have much upper body strength, but it’s manageable as it has wheels on one end. The size isn’t too bulky and fits under a bed or a couch easily; it’s maybe 5 inches tall. It’s very easy to use also. I did’t bother to read the manual, so I’m sure it can do more than I use it for, but basically you just use the remote to start it up and change the speed. There’s a slot to store the remote which is good, but make sure you don’t lose it or you won’t be able to use it (there’s no buttons on the machine itself. Though the compact size is very convenient, it is also one of the drawbacks if you are taller and have a longer stride. It isn’t very long and my stride is probably pushes the max you can get (I’m just under 6’ tall). So it’s not great for running, but no matter because the max speed doesn’t really get up to running speeds. It tops out around 3.7 mph which is just a fast walk for me— I’m used to going 6-7 mph at the gym treadmills. If you just need something for walking this will work fine. It’d probably be good to use as a treadmill desk setup. It does its job but for my use it’s too slow, but maybe it’ll work for you.

My doctor has prescribed a thirty-minute walk each night after dinner. There are some nights, though, when it is not possible due to rain or the heat (it is so hot in Florida in the summer). I thought this treadmill would provide a good alternative. It does not take up a large amount of space, which is important since I live in a small abode. It is lightweight (I was surprised). It is just a matter of removing from the box and plugging it in. It is nice that it comes with a remote, but you need to be careful not to lose it (I put Velcro on it and fastened it to the top of the treadmill). It is quiet, which means I can hear the television while I walk (I do not need to raise the volume). I have a raised desk, but I am still getting the hang of typing and walking at the same time. I can get my steps in while doing my work. I like the slim profile (I can slide it under my bed). I can now get my walk in despite the heat or the rain which will, hopefully, help me lose those menopause pounds.

I absolutely love this treadmill! One thing to be aware of however, it does not have a handlebar or anything to hold on to, and a couple times I did almost lose my balance. So if you're worried about that, you might want to either get one that does, or perhaps add a treadmill table. For this reason, I would caution elderly folks about this issue. This operates via a small remote control, and even has speakers you can link up via bluetooth. I find the operation to be very smooth through all speeds, and the LED display provides instantaneouls feedback on your pace, time, distance covered, etc. The unit isn't what I would call light weight, but it is easy to manuever into the place. I keep mine stowed under the bed. Lastly, I would strongly advise wearing a good pair of clean sneakers just for use on this device. The covers on each side of the moving belt have a small gap that can catch a bare toe or sock, so shoes it is for me. Will all those things in mind, I would give this 4.5 stars, but since we don't have 1/2 stars here, I'm giving the benefit to all 5. It's a good treadmill, especially for budget conscious buyers who want a solid treadmill without breaking the bank!

This came in a huge box and is quite heavy so it’s not exactly portable. But it is manageable. The wheels help me move it around. My biggest problem is that I don’t have a large enough sofa to stick it under. I have to stand it up on its end leaning against a wall. It’s heavy which is not a bad thing because it means it is a well-made unit with a wide treadmill which has wide protective bumpers along the sides. It goes up to about 3.5 mph which is a steady pace but is not so fast that you need a vertical post to hold onto. The motor and mechanical parts are quiet but once you are on it is noisier. It has small speakers for Bluetooth which was a nice touch, but you are better off using noise cancelling over ear headphones. I’ve only had it a couple of weeks and it has been great so far. Biggest problem is keeping my three little dogs away when I’m using it.
