Best Treadmills for Home in 2024

★★★★★ Great machine. Does exactly what it says it will do. Easy to set up and start using. Great display that doesn't distract from your workout. I love the aux port so I can listen to audiobooks through the speakers while I walk. It isn't overly loud (though it does make noise) and even at my age (late 40s) it doesn't hurt my knees to walk for a long period of time on the machine. I like the handles and plan to use a mobile desk option to get a little work done while on it. The base seems long enough to do that. It's sturdy and stable and takes up less room than models meant for a fitness center. Great value for the cost.

★★★★★ Functions like a treadmill. Amazon prime delivery was on time and efficient. No shipping damage, all the bits and pieces that were supposed to be in the box were in the box. You do need a Phillips head screwdriver and adjustable wrench for assembly.I, 55f and the only one in the house who reads instructions and makes sure all the pieces are there first, decided to put it together myself. It didn't feel like 2.5 hours but that's how long it took. Did I complain? A little. In Step 6 I carefully loosened/tightened four pre-attached screws in the handrails to get the larger screws/washers in place. Turn the page for Step 8 to read "if there are four screws pre-attached inside ... remove and discard them..." grumble. It's recommended you have a person help you hold to attach the console assembly but it's doable by yourself if you're flexible. I did need the second person for steps 13-15 (of 17) to hold the belt frame up while I attached the crossbar and storage latch.Yes, there are stickers and "warnings" stating that the treadmill is locked and will not start until activated at ifit.com. You do NOT need to enter your credit card information (find the small font that says skip or no thank you). You will still get the one month free trial. I do not like that I cannot input individual stats (height, weight, etc.) into the treadmill directly. Those fancy features come with the ifit app subscription. I did poke around the iFit programs a bit - would have been nice for it to limit what I could see to this particular machine; in other words there were plenty of programs that incline to 18% or 34% automatically - useless for this machine as it only goes to 10%. But, the walks/runs that take you on tours of places are neat. Would I buy into the subscription? Not unless it synchs with my Fitbit which it does not. Speaking of which, the treadmill pulse bar monitor and my Fitbit read are fairly close. I'm not sure about distance/steps because I keep forgetting to check...which is why synching would be nice.The machine lifts out of the way and lowers easily (not a feature we use regularly but it's there if needed). As with every other piece of exercise equipment we've ever owned, the built in speakers are not awesome. The lip at the bottom of the console holds phone/tablet admirably, if I could design it myself I would have it at the top so that I didn't have to look down to see my phone (as the ifit trainer is telling me to keep my head up).NOTE: none of the assembly steps in the manual indicate to attach the safety key. It's just pictured hanging off the pulse bar in the final step (it did not come attached, it's wrapped in a small bag with the screws etc.). You do need to have the red safety key in place on the pulse bar to make the machine work (there's a small indented area with a key logo). The important emergency information on how the *safety* part of the key works (if the clip is attached to you) is highlighted in the manual under HOW TO TURN ON THE POWER. Be safe.So far, we've had four family members of varying sizes use the machine on full workouts - walkers and runners. Haven't wanted to adjust cushioning, there's been no belt slippage and there have been no weird noises. For the price, we recommend it.UPDATE 3 months later: after browsing the iFit programs for a few days I found the functionality between the app and the treadmill to be what I needed in my life. I have an annual subscription (still don't need to leave your CC info with them permanently). Because I'm not just staring at the wall while using the machine I look forward to hopping on 5-6 days a week faithfully, traveling around the world - heck, I've even done a few virtual 5k races! Machine is still solid - I use it the most, but my husband is on it 3-4x/week and a teenager too. No squeaks or issues thus far.

★★★★★ Wonderful treadmill. Great treadmill. Easy assembly although ran into trouble during one part of it. Very very heavy. Keep that in mind. Difficult for just two people to maneuver when boxed. Console is simple which is what I wanted. Do not need the ifit app to use. Save your money on the app. Not worth it. Runs noisy but not distracting. Does not fold up. Has wheels in front for moving.

★★★★☆ Simple, but effective. I had a commercial size NordicTrack I bought in 2015 and it finally conked out on me after using it 5-7 days a week running or walking on inclines. I would be on it for 30 mins or up to 2 hours depending on what I was doing. I got this smaller version because I know how difficult it is to move the monster size ones. Fits nicely in a corner. It is a good size and can fold up. It does not have all the extra features such as a built-in fan, but so far so good. It does have a weight limit, and I don’t remember if my previous treadmill had one. It works with iFit, which is a monthly subscription for $40/month. I think it’s worth it, as it works with your treadmill and provides other workouts such as weight training and yoga. I have been using it for moderate walks on an 8% incline while watching on my iPad (secured on the treadmill). I notice that I break out in a sweat as much as I do when I do a jog. It was fairly straightforward to build except for the part of securing one piece. You’ll know what it is when you get to that part of the assembly.

★★★★★ It’s better than expected and it’s built super sturdy. I’m 6’2 and just under 260 lbs and it does everything that I need when it comes to sturdiness, tread size and functionality.The only down side is that you have to download an App and jump through a couple hoops in order to get it started, but once you get it started it’s easy to use and a solid buy. Also, delivery was a couple days late but given the world climate right now combined with the size, I wasn’t surprised.Prior to ordering on Amazon I had tried to order a treadmill straight from Horizon Fitness after lengthy research, but after the transaction was approved, a month later I was notified that they didn’t deliver to my location in the city, and I’m not sure if that was the actual reason given the high demand for home exercise equipment. That being said, when I searched on Amazon for a treadmill almost everything was “out of stock”, and with me being a bigger dude, I needed one that had the necessary specs to handle my size in order to get a good sweat on. So after further research on manufacturers and specs, I was lucky to find this unit that satisfied all my requirements/needs with only “2 left in stock” at a reasonable price, and it was delivered straight to my door and I’m super happy with it.With all that is happening in this upside down world right now, I recognize the need to support local business but in some circumstances that is extremely difficult, and say what you will about Amazon and their success during these trying times. In my experience, with an increase in online purchases, Amazon has in place the capacity, inventory and capabilities to deliver when needed. I know that there is much controversy surrounding Amazon with their employee practices and their social, environmental and political impacts as well, but given the current world climate Amazon has continued to deliver consumer goods and necessities in a timely fashion in order to provide some semblance of normalcy during these trying times and I can respect that. That being said, I also believe that Amazon has the ability, the resources and the social responsibility to do more to help their hard working employees and their worldwide community of consumers/supporters as many local businesses that support their communities are currently struggling to stay alive while Amazon thrives.In conclusion, you can tell that I have some extra time on my hands given the length of this review, and with the current world climate, home exercise equipment is as, if not more popular during a pandemic than toilet paper. If you’re lucky enough to be able to get one of these units given the current supply and demand... enjoy! Moreover, if you’ve read this far into this review, to quote the legendary Hal Johnson and Joanne McLeod, “stay fit and stay safe!”

★★★★★ Excelente caminadora. Llegó en el tiempo estimado y su armado fue muy sencillo ya que las instrucciones son muy explicitas e incluyen la herramienta necesaria. Sin embargo se necesitan dos personas para su armado ya que la caja es muy pesada. Llevamos un mes utilizandola y no hemos tenido ningún problema, mi familia la utiliza todos los días en con diferentes velocidades e inclinaciones para correr o caminar y todo funciona a la perfeccion. No es muy ruidosa y es muy facil e intituitiva para operarla. Contiene algunas rutinas ya precargadas con diferentes niveles para quema de calorias, velocidad, e inclinación. Muy recomendable.

★★★★★ Fantastic. Used only for walking. So far since Nov '21 helped with overall health, weight reduction, fitness level, diabetes improvement. Options of: Pace, incline, calories. Great item.

★★★★★ Super facil de armar , muy funcional y hasta ahora todo en orden, hace un poco de ruido conforme subes la velocity, pero me encanto 10 de 10

★★★★★ Llevo 3 meses usando esta caminadora y la verdad es que estoy muy satisfecho con la caminadoraEs una máquina muy robusta, construida con materiales de buena calidad que la hacen sentir sólida y duradera. Desde el primer uso, me di cuenta de que no es una de esas caminadoras que se siente frágil o inestable. Me da mucha seguridad mientras estoy usandolaLa superficie es lo suficientemente amplia para correr cómodamente, lo cual es algo que valoro mucho. Me gusta que puedo hacer ejercicio sin sentir que estoy limitado por el espacio. Además, es realmente cómodo, y no ha tenido problemas con las articulaciones gracias a la amortiguación que tiene.Otro punto fuerte es lo fácil que es de usar. Los controles son sencillos y la pantalla muestra todo de manera clara. También me sorprendí lo fácil que es de guardar. A pesar de ser bastante robusta, se pliega sin problemas y no ocupa casi nada de espacio, lo cual es perfecto si no tienes mucho lugar en casa.

★★★★★ Sturdy walking pad; great customer service. It's a very good walking pad, it gets the job done and let's me keep getting steps when I am working at my desk. It's got the right amount of speed and it's not loud at all. My remote wasn't working properly and I reached out to them and they promptly helped me with it. Much appreciated!

★★★★★ Great little walking pad. I had been researching walking pads for home use for a while, in hopes of catching one at a good price during Prime days. I prefer to walk outside but with the short winter days coming, it gets nearly impossible to find time in daylight before or after work.This comes right out of the box ready to use. It's more awkward than heavy, even with the wheels at one end. But if you were just leaving it in one place (as I am) or moving it short distances, it's easy to move back and forth.The remote is easy and the screen shows multiple stats that are helpful but I plan on just using my Fitbit for keeping track.Time will tell for reliability but I have no reason to believe it won't last. So far, I have really enjoyed it. Just walked an hour while watching a movie on a rainy day!I think this is a great walking pad for the money, highly recommend!

★★★★★ Small, quiet and easy to assemble. This walking pad is easy to assemble. Doesn't really take up a lot of space it breaks down enough to where you could actually slide it underneath your bed. It works like a charm. Reading so many reviews, features, pros and cons for different brands and I finally decided on this one. This treadmill is compact, rolls out of the way as I need it so I can use my chair, the remote feature is great for me to increase/decrease my speed, and pause when I need a break. I like how the digital screen shows total time, distance and speed. It’s not completely silent but the belt sound is easily ignorable and can’t be heard by others when I make my calls. It’s not as wide as the big trails at the gym, and there are no arms— caution if you have balance issues! Otherwise, I’d think you’ll find this an excellent addition to your daily routine. It took me only minutes to set up (maybe 3-4 minutes to inbox, plug in, sync the remote, and start walking). I use it 6-7 times daily!

★★★★☆ It worked for 10 months. I loved it until it started making a lot of noise 🙁 . The treadmill worked beautifully for about 10 months. I used it for 45-60 mins 3 or 4 times a week on speed 2.5-3. It was always smooth and made little noise. I applied the oil regularly too... Then it started giving error E06, which does not show in the user manual. And the belt would not start moving. It only moved if I helped it start manually. Then it started making a lot of noise, So I opened it up. The noise is coming from the motor and the motor sparks when it first stars running. Anyways .. I'm trying to see if I can replace the motor if not, I guess it would be worth it to invest on a more expensive one that is better quality and would last longer.Update 19SEP25. Airhot contacted me to try and make things right on their end. They offered me a replacement, but they didnt have the same model I initially bought. They gave me a refund. Their customer service was very good. They were extremely nice and diligent.After a lot of research, I decided to gave them another opportunity and bought another treadmill. The reason being that I truly never ever had any issues with it until the motor stopped working properly. I saw other brands that have issues with the belt sliding out, belt misalignment, constant noise... etc. Let's see how this one goes. I will update it another year!

★☆☆☆☆ Update - Dead after less than 90 days. Update 9/23 - After about 2 months of use, it started to get a bad burning rubber/plastic smell with any walking time more than 10 minutes. Lubricated the belt as instructed in the manual but it didn't help. Now today, started making horrible sounds from the motor (like sparks flying). Really disappointed overall in the quality and not even lasting 3 months? You're much better off with a more quality brand. I will not make this mistake again.I got this as an under-desk walking pad to stay active during the workday. Overall, it does what it needs to and was reasonably priced for what you get. Top speed is 3.7mph which is a very fast walk / very slow jog. It has a remote which works good but there are no manual buttons on the treadmill itself. You loose/break the remote and that's it - there is no other way to turn on and control it.The display cycles through 4 data points: Speed, Distance, Time, and Calories moving to the next every 5 seconds or so. Would be really nice to be able to choose which one to stay on. Another small oddity is that the timer maxes out at 99:59 and once it reaches the 1 hour 40 min mark, it just stops. Like, it just turns off the treadmill. Really worried me the first time it happened since it was unexpected I thought it may have overheated or broken. But nope, it just stops at 99:59 and you have to shut it off and on and start it again. Makes zero sense to me but okay...Lastly the belt is really hard to keep straight. It tends to want to drift to one side and adjusting the tilt via the back screws to straighten it was a HUGE mistake. Took me about an hour to get it remotely centered-ish again. When it dies or within the next year (whichever comes first), I'll probably move on to something more expensive - one that can collapse/fold. If I could do it over again, I would probably make a different choice.

★★★★★ Excellent Quality. After using the product, I must say that I found the experience to be very fulfilling. Given my prolonged period of using my computer, it has become a habit for me to engage in screen time whenever possible, such as after meals. Many of my acquaintances had advised me not to perform such actions, so the AIRHOT Under Desk Treadmill serves as the perfect solution for me to lose some calories without having to lose interest in the workout after just a few minutes. The remote is also light and small to use, which makes it easier for me to tune down the speed when I get tired. Notably, the item’s size permits convenient storage under my bed, which saves space and prevents my family members, especially children, from bumping into it. Furthermore, the front transport wheels make it easier for me to clean up the floor.

★★★★★ UMAY Treadmill. Absolutely love this treadmill for my home gym! The price is fantastic for the quality you get and the setup was incredibly easy - had it up and running in about 15 minutes. It has the perfect amount of display settings and speed options so it is easy to switch up between walking, jogging and running efficiently. It is very stable and runs smoothly at all different speeds. The size of the treadmill is great, does not take up an overwhelming amount of space and at the same time, length of the treadmill is accommodates for taller individuals. If you are looking for a great treadmill, at a great price, this one is a no-brainer. Highly recommend!

★★★★★ Great Value and Perfect for Small Spaces. This UMAY treadmill has been a great buy for the price. It was easy to set up, runs smoothly, and is surprisingly quiet for apartment use. The 3.0 HP motor and incline levels give enough challenge for both walking and light jogging. I also like that it folds up easily and doesn’t take much space. Overall, a solid treadmill with great value—highly recommended for home workouts.

★★★★★ Good Budget Treadmill, Top Notch Support. I've used this treadmill for over a year and a half, mostly for long distance jogs. It can handle long running times at high intensity (6 to 7.5mph). It's one of the most compact treadmills you can buy with a good frame and shock absorption. As long as you regularly lubricate it on schedule it'll run very smoothly.UMAY's support has been top notch. I've encountered some issues that broke previous treadmills and they have been super responsive in helping me. This has resulted in them sending new treadmills free of charge which I greatly appreciate. Their support alone is worth the 5 star rating.After using it for so long I've had enough time to see some of its quirks. Here are some things I ran into you should keep in mind:- The pulse sensors are prone to static shocks and can kill the onboard computer. This took out 2 treadmills but UMAY graciously replaced both for free. I highly recommend removing the sensor plates in the handles and using hot glue to cover the internal connectors as I did to prevent it from happening again.- The treadmill has a time limit of 100 minutes. This is pretty standard as I found out shortly after hitting the time limit the first time. But this treadmill handles running at a high speed for the whole time limit without an issue.- The motor gets super hot! Enough to easily scald your hand if you touch it. This can translate into the walking tread heating up by quite a lot. Putting this machine on an equipment rack is very strongly recommended. I also recommend pointing a fan directly at the motor housing to keep it cool while in use.Overall I highly recommend this treadmill if you need a decent quality compact treadmill on a budget. Their responsive support makes getting a resolution to any issues you've run into much easier than other fitness equipment companies I've dealt with in the past.

★★★★★ Excellent customer service. UMAY fitness Treadmill, I bought mine and I was so excited to getting it soon, it worked very well for 7 months, after that every time I increased the speed to number 6 the belt would stop every 10 minutes, then the problem continued but now when I increase the speed to 5, the belt stops and it smells like it was overheating. I called to get support or someone that can assist me, the person I talked to was very understanding and patient with me I follow the instructions as she told me, but the problem continued. this is what the treadmill screen showed E01 CODE, I like my treadmill unfortunately doesn’t work, I hope they can help me to solve the problem.

★★★★☆ Good treadmill, easy assembly. The media could not be loaded. What we like is that the price was reasonable, easy to assemble, and the shipping was very fast. The size is okay, for reference my fiancé is 6’3 and the handles fall a little short but for someone like me, 5’7, it’s not that bad at all. The speed goes up to 8.7 mph and the sound isn’t too bad. It’s great for a small space since the belt isn’t too wide. Works well so far and it was easy to adjust the belt after it was put together. It’s only screwing some screws and it’s ready to use. The weight is manageable to lift and/or move around. I like the hydraulic feature to bring the machine down. Worth the price

★★★★★ Very good budget treadmill. I’ve been using the UMAY50 treadmill for about a year and a half, and it’s been a great addition to my home workouts. Setup was quick and easy, and it felt solid and stable from the beginning. Even with regular use, it continues to run smoothly.The motor is quiet, which makes a big difference when working out at home. It’s very easy to use, and the controls are straightforward. The belt feels comfortable whether I’m walking or jogging, and the speed options are more than enough for everyday workouts. The display is clear and shows all the basics without being confusing.This treadmill has really helped with my fitness journey, especially on days when I can’t run outside due to weather or time. Sometimes it’s just easier to hop on the treadmill and get a workout in. I also appreciate that it folds up and saves a lot of space, which is perfect for a home setup.Overall, I think this treadmill is good value for the price and has been worth the investment. I’d definitely recommend the UMAY50 to anyone looking for a reliable and easy-to-use treadmill for home use.

★★★★★ Super Customer Service and a great product. This machine has worked perfectly for about 1 and 1/2 years. It has only about 60 hours of use. It was very easy to assemble. The seller was quick to respond with any assistance that was needed. However, the machine developed a problem and can no longer be used. The seller has worked very hard with me to fix the problem but had not been able to do so. The seller went above and beyond what was expected and has replaced the treadmill at no cost to me. I strongly recommend this seller. They have excellent customer service that is easy to communicate with and offers a really great product

★★★★★ This is a mini version of a full size treadmill with all necessary features. The best feature of all is the increment of speed by 0.1 miles. This is so important to me since I am limited to my speed because of my back pain. I am using treadmill for brisk walking since last 35 years. I always used full size, didn't know mini ones existed until my last one start making weird noises and was time to change. Love this one over the big one. So quiet and does the job perfectly . Doesn't take much room and easily folds. Customer service is great, had a question prior to purchase which was answered quickly and professionally.

★★★★★ Very easy to assemble. Seems quite sturdy. Very quiet. No analog height adjustment - just a lever that gives you a fixed 3% grade which might not be so great for someone wanting an agressive cardio workout. . I like how it stores away by simply lifting the treadmill, which is in a hydraulic, to a vertical position which means gets it out of the way very easy, yet it is thin enough to roll under a bed. The compact format is plenty large enough for an average size adult. Anyone 225+ may find it too small narrow. Lacks of an extensive monitoring or tracking electronics which means fewer things to break down.

★★★☆☆ The company offered to fix the issue and credit me $10 for a $14 adapter.

★★★★☆ Qualité correct

★★★★★ Works nicely even for a 100 kg person

★★★★★ Great treadmill for home use — quiet, sturdy, and easy to fold. I bought this treadmill for my home office, and it’s been a great purchase so far. The setup was super easy and it runs smoothly with very little noise. The build feels solid and stable, and the incline function works well for adding extra intensity to my workouts. I really like the foldable design — it saves a lot of space when not in use. The removable desk is also a nice touch for walking while working or watching shows. Overall, it’s an excellent treadmill for daily walking or light running, definitely worth the price.

★★★★★ Great Value for money! Runs well! Wonderful snap-in desktop that is very useable. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I LOVE this treadmill!!!! Worth 10 stars! Runs smoothly. No stuttering at low speed. Sturdy. Turns on smoothly. Very quiet. Compact - fits in the corner of my living room. Treadmill deck is long enough for running. I'm 5'6", female, and there's more than enough room without worrying about my foot going off the end. Also, the width is plenty adequate - no need to worry about stepping off the side. But, the BEST thing about it is the design! It has a desk/table that snaps in place and is a HUGELY wonderful addition! I have a laptop extension thingy resting on it, and my laptop resting on that - and I'm able to watch movies, read my kindle on my laptop screen, browse the internet and do everything I want as I walk - because the desk surface doesn't vibrate or shake. Also, it's simple. No big extra plastic dashboard controls- just a simple bar going across where you can adjust speed, etc. and view speed, distance and calories. My last 2 treadmills were both Sunny. Both died. Neither were as good as this - not nearly as good! I spent a lot of time searching for a good treadmill and this is the best I found for the price range - or a higher price! Great value - incredible price for what you get. Also includes a watch remote which I haven't tried and a regular remote which works great. I love it and am thrilled to have it! Much better than it needs to be. HIGHLY recommend ... Also, needs just about 0 assembly - ready to use in 10 minutes!

★★★★☆ Great with one minor issue. I've been using this treadmill for nearly a month, and it works great. I weigh 135 lbs. and use it for walking only. I can't speak to how it would hold up for a runner. I would recommend this treadmill, with a minor caveat. The tray is flimsy and forces me to stand back too close to the rear edge of the belt. The spot for a drink is just a small depression in the plastic, so the vibration of the treadmill causes drinks to topple over. My iPad shakes/moves and even if it were to stay put, I find it sits too close and I have to look down at it which isn't comfortable. Luckily I did not purchase it to use as a desk, so the unusable tray isn't a deal breaker for me.Before this purchase, I used a heavier-duty treadmill. So yes, this one compared to my prior machine, feels quite a bit different, not as sturdy. But, I expected that. I replaced the old machine because I wanted ease of storage and the bigger machine, even when folded, took up a huge amount of space. This treadmill folds flat and can be stood up flat against a wall. Other than the flimsy tray, the rest of the machine has a good-quality feel. Again, not as sturdy as a larger treadmill, but not cheap. It required no assembly and was ready to plug in and use straight out of the box.

★★★★★ Wonderful product and seller. I wanted to specifically highlight my experience with this treadmill and the seller. When I bought this treadmill, I unpacked it but I had to move soon after. In the chaos, the accessory box with the user manual, safety key, handheld remote and desk attachment went missing. I went to the sellers website to see if I could purchase them individually, but I couldn’t find any order info so I sent an email inquiry.Usually, emails to Amazon sellers can sometimes take days for a reply, but I got a response within a few hours. To make a long story short, they didn’t have the items for sale, but they generously offered to replace these items at no cost, even though it was through no fault of their own. This is the kind of customer service response that will guarantee customer goodwill and repeat business.Now, about the treadmill - I purchased it specifically because I wanted a machine I could use with my standing desk. There were several models of treadmills at about the $200 price point, but even though this model was a little more expensive, I liked the enhancements it brought to the table - the folding handrail, vertical storage, easy mobility, and robust construction.As mentioned above, I was starting it up without the benefit of the owners manual; so I just went for it. Just plugging it into the wall didn’t result in any lights or sounds, so I looked and found a power switch next to the cord entry. Turning it on caused an incessant beeping, which upon investigation turned out to be the lack of the safety key. Since I didn’t have that either, I did a bit more investigation and found out a magnet was involved. I found a neodymium disc magnet about 3/4” in diameter, placed it in the center of the key area, and the beeping stopped. (Now you know what to do if you ever break or lose the key).It still took a little figuring it out how to get it started. Turns out, you need to select a program and time first. Once I did that, I was able to try out the various adjustments. It’s not a $1000 treadmill like you see at the gym, but it is perfectly suited to home use with its portability and easy storage.The only thing I wish this (and other exercise equipment) had was a dedicated phone/tablet charging solution that also includes headphone access. Now that the 3.5mm audio jack has disappeared from most devices, you are faced with either using wired headphones or charging but only one at a time. It would be nice if equipment included a 3.5mm headphone jack connected to a power sharing device so you can enjoy audio and charging at the same time.I am incredibly pleased with this purchase, both the product and the seller. Their exemplary customer service has earned them my repeat business.
