What is better: Egofit vs Walkingpad?
For most under‑desk walking use, Egofit is generally considered the better‑built, more durable option, especially its inclined models (Walker / Walker Pro).
Egofit offers fixed incline (usually 3–5%), quieter operation, better cushioning and a more compact design.
WalkingPad is lighter and cheaper, but reviews report belt‑drift, frame‑creak issues, and less comfort at higher‑use volumes.
If you want a robust, joint‑friendly desk treadmill, go for Egofit. However, if price and portability are your priority, some WalkingPad models can be sufficient.
Is the Egofit walking pad good?
Yes, the Egofit walking pad is a solid under‑desk treadmill for regular walking‑while‑working.
It runs quietly, with a small DC motor that’s tuned for walking speeds and the belt is designed to be comfortable even in socks or light shoes.
As long as you stay within the weight limit (around 220 lb) and the recommended speed range, it can handle daily use without major issues.
Is the Egofit Walker Pro good for small spaces?
Yes, the Egofit Walker Pro M1 is designed for tight spaces and is often chosen specifically for small home offices or desks.
Footprint is about 38.4″ × 21.9″ × 6.9″, so it uses under 6 square feet and fits neatly under or beside most standing desks.
The downside is the narrow belt (16.5″ wide) and shorter deck (34.25″ long), which can feel cramped for taller users or those with long strides.
What is the maximum speed of the Egofit Walker Pro?
The Egofit Walker Pro M1 has a maximum speed of about 3.1 mph (≈5 km/h).
Some reviews show that the belt can briefly exceed this (up to ~3.7 mph), but the official top speed is 3.1 mph for walking‑only use.
How fast is the walking pad on the Egofit?
Most Egofit walking‑oriented models are tuned for low‑speed walking between roughly 0.6–3.1 mph.
The Walker / Walker Pro can reach up to 3.1–3.7 mph, depending on firmware and mode (walking vs light jogging), but are still positioned as under‑desk walking pads, not full‑power treadmills.
How to oil the Egofit Walker Pro?
Egofit recommends using silicone‑based belt lubricant only, not general household oils, to avoid damaging the belt surface.
Basic lubrication steps:
- Turn off and unplug the treadmill, then wait for the belt to cool down.
- Apply silicone oil along the belt path in a zig‑zag or straight‑line pattern as shown in the manual.
- Run the belt at low speed for 3–5 minutes so the oil spreads, then wipe off any excess with a clean cloth.
For regular users, a light lubrication every 10–20 days of normal use helps keep the belt running smoothly.
How to use the Egofit Walker Pro?
Place the treadmill on a flat, level surface under or beside your desk so you can walk comfortably while working:
- Plug in the power cord and switch on the base power.
- Use the remote control or Egofit app (via Bluetooth) to start, stop, and adjust speed.
- Start at a low speed and increase gradually in small steps.
During walking:
- Stand with your feet flat and centred on the belt, keeping a slight bend in your knees.
- Most users keep it between 1.5–2.5 mph for comfortable walking while typing or on calls.
After use:
- Press STOP on the remote or in the app, let the belt stop fully, then turn off the main power switch.
- Keep the area around the machine clear and check belt tension and lubrication occasionally.
How to start the Egofit Walker Pro?
To start the Egofit Walker Pro M1:
- Switch on the treadmill at the base power switch and make sure the remote has fresh batteries.
- Stand to the side of the unit, hold the handrail if there is one, and prepare to step onto the belt.
- Press the PLAY / START button on the remote or in the app; the belt will begin at a low default speed (usually around 0.6–1.0 mph).
- Carefully step onto the moving belt, centre yourself, and then use the + button on the remote or app to increase the speed to your preferred walking pace.
