A bestselling walking pad for a record-low $90 and more ways to step on it
Run (don't walk) to score these deals on under-desk treadmills — they're some of the best prices we've seen!
Shorter, colder days are rolling in. If finding the time and motivation to head outside to hit your step goals has become a daily challenge, now's your opportunity to score an under-desk treadmill at a record-low price. While lots of walking pads claim to be on sale for Prime Day, which ends today, many brands inflate their list prices and offer "deals" that are barely deals at all.
No sweat! We've scoured dozens of Prime Day walking pad options and compared prices to historical data to find the best discounts on these handy compact cardio machines.
Below are the three top buys, including a $90 model — so run (or speed walk) on over to Amazon to grab a winner to keep you moving all winter long.
Best Prime Day walking pad deal overall
The bestselling DeerRun walking pad is down to $90 right now for Prime Day, making it the least expensive of the three models we're featuring here. It's $40 lower than we've ever seen it drop, so if you're looking to score a killer deal, this is it.
While it's not quite as sturdy as the Sperax walking pad (it supports up to 265 pounds of weight versus Sperax's 320 pounds), it's still a heavy-duty mini treadmill that goes up to 3.8 mph — perfect for most walking workouts. It's also closer to the ground than the other models included here — topping out at just 4 inches tall, making it a good option for storing under a couch or bed between uses.
Another standout feature is the included one-year warranty. Many walking pads don't offer a warranty at all, so this is something worth considering. Even though it's inexpensive, you still want to know your investment is protected if something were to break.
Best Prime Day walking pad deal: Sturdiest
The $120 clickable coupon brings the Sperax down to the lowest price we've seen at Amazon, where it's typically priced around $190. It can support up to 320 pounds and reaches up to 4 mph, making it a great option for taking a brisk walk while binge-watching or staying active while typing at your computer.
Of the three walking pads we're featuring, this has the highest user weight capacity. It also has two wheels on the bottom, making it a good choice if you're just getting started on a walking program for weight loss and would prefer a unit that's easier to move around or maneuver between sessions.
Shoppers rave about how quiet and stable it feels. Said one fan: "The pad is not too heavy to move around but also very sturdy once set. While the walking pad is on, it's not overly loud or ... awkward when on meetings."
Best Prime Day walking pad deal: For speed walking/intervals
For Prime Day, this Urevo walking pad is just $125, which is $55 less than its lowest price ever and a sweet 50% off. One standout feature? Its top speed of 4 mph — many brands tend to max out at 3.8 mph. This may not seem like a huge difference, but if you're working on increasing your walking speed or want to integrate walking intervals into your workout, that extra O.2 mph gives you a little more flexibility and room for improvement.
That said, it's important to note that this under-desk treadmill is a little bit larger and heavier than its counterparts on this list. It's nearly 5 inches tall and weighs 45 pounds, making it trickier to wheel around or store in tight spaces. Just keep in mind that you shouldn't store this treadmill upright — make sure you have space under your desk, bed or couch to keep it tucked away when not in use.
Like the DeerRun treadmill, this Urevo option comes with a 12-month warranty, which reviewers note the company stands behind. When a problem arose after five-day-a-week use, shared one happy customer, "They offered me solutions right away without having to jump through a ton of hoops."
And if you're looking to track your stats, how about an Apple Watch SE? This one is at an all-time low for Prime Day.
