Canadian Filter: walking pad

November 15, 2023 10:45 AM

I am looking for a Black Friday deal on a walking pad that ships to Canada. I am an apartment dweller and want to be as respectful to my neighbours as possible. I weigh ~190lbs. Do you have any recommendations for trusted brands? Thank you!

Do you mean a treadmill?

Response by poster: "Walking pads are usually smaller and cheaper than what you’d think of as a treadmill. Many of them fold up (some even fold in half) and are intended to be moved into and out of wherever you store them on a daily basis—for example, leaned against a wall or tucked under a couch."

My partner just bought this one, DeerRun Q1 Pro Smart Walking Pad last week, all I can say so far is that it looks well made, it runs quietly, and it is on sale now (CAD$275.14). It has bluetooth but seems to connect only to a proprietary app (PitPat) which is a bit crap, not to other fitness apps like Garmin. The remote is working OK.
