Walking pads in the UK, reviewed one by one

The CitySports Pro is the best all-round walking pad in our UK comparison set: 50dB running noise, a 120kg weight capacity — the highest of the ten models we track — and a remote, typically £129–159 on Amazon UK.

The Urevo offers the widest incline range in our UK set — 0–15% auto incline — at typically £199–249 on Amazon UK, making it the pick for anyone who wants to raise intensity without walking faster.

The Merach Slim is the quietest motorised walking pad in our UK set at a rated 48dB, with one of the thinnest decks for storage, typically £119–149 on Amazon UK.

The Home Fitness Code walking pad is a no-frills compact model at typically £109–139 on Amazon UK — a sensible small-flat choice, though its 5km/h top speed is slower than most of our set.

The Reka is the walking pad in our UK set that comes closest to a light treadmill, thanks to an optional support handle, with 110kg capacity and a 50dB motor at typically £139–169 on Amazon UK.

The Superun is the cheapest walking pad in our UK set we'd recommend without reservations about size or capacity, at typically £99–129 on Amazon UK — though it still compromises on speed (5km/h) and noise (54dB).

The Deerrun is the cheaper route into incline walking in our UK set — 0–10% incline and 110kg capacity at typically £149–179 on Amazon UK, roughly £50 below the Urevo.

The PitPat Smart is the only app-connected walking pad in our UK set, pairing step, distance and calorie tracking with 0–8% incline, a 49dB motor and 115kg capacity at typically £179–219 on Amazon UK.

The Bigzzia Compact has the smallest footprint of any walking pad in our UK set and the lowest price of any motorised model at typically £89–119 on Amazon UK — with the lowest weight capacity (85kg) to match.

The Toputure is the only manual walking pad in our UK set — silent because it has no motor, with 0–12% manual incline and a 100kg capacity at typically £79–99 on Amazon UK.
