Best Tested Walking Pads (2025): Urevo, WalkingPad, Sperax

The most versatile

If you’re not keen on purchasing a standing desk, check out the Lifesmart 3-in-1 treadmill. You can move the lightweight machine into any room, place the desk attachment through the railing, and get to work and walk. The desk height won’t accommodate everyone — it was lower than I’d like, and I’m 5’4″. But for quick, basic work like answering emails or sitting in a meeting, it got the job done just fine.

The 3-in-1 treadmill gets its name from its ability to function as a walking platform (with the rail down, speeds go up to 3.7 mph), a treadmill (with the rail up, you can run up to 7.5 mph), and a workstation (with the rail up and a desk attachment).

It’s easy to set up, and switching between the walking pad, treadmill and work modes is quick and simple (you just need to use a little tool to adjust the rail, and it’s magnetized so it can live on the rail and never get lost in a junk drawer). You can adjust the speed using the buttons on the bars or with the Bluetooth remote, and the screen on the front of the device cycles through your workout metrics. The sleek and modern design means you won’t feel embarrassed to place it in your living space. The only drawback is that it does not have any regression options.

The quietest pillow

This walking pad has the most intuitive setup of anything on this list (most likely thanks to its lack of a companion app, which isn’t often necessary). I was able to set it up in minutes, and the remote connected immediately, with no Bluetooth pairing required. Like many walking pads, this one has a screen on the front that shows you your workout metrics. If you turn off the device temporarily, you can go back to where you started, based on those metrics, until you turn off the device. One downside: It doesn’t track steps.

The Auto Incline Walking Treadmill offers an impressive incline range of up to the ninth level or 12 percent incline. It’s one of the highest regression capabilities I’ve found in my testing. You can walk at speeds of up to 4 mph on this device, and you can connect your phone to play music through the speakers. The remote allows you to do 30-minute pre-programmed walking workouts too, with the device automatically adjusting the speed the whole time (but not the incline). Otherwise, you can use it in manual mode and adjust the settings as per your wish.
