With the pollution levels, it is no longer safe to walk outside for an extended time when exercising.

 

I am thinking about one of these for the 2-3 months of air pollution.  https://www.lazada.co.th/products/my-hi10-mini-treadmill-walking-pad-500kg-2hp-1-8kmh-50cm-i5596175520-s23812485933.html?c=&channelLpJumpArgs=&clickTrackInfo=query%3Awalking%2Bpad%3Bnid%3A5596175520%3Bsrc%3ALazadaMainSrp%3Brn%3A03ac2ce03b86b7c4b91e2f653cbce157%3Bregion%3Ath%3Bsku%3A5596175520_TH%3Bprice%3A2994%3Bclient%3Adesktop%3Bsupplier_id%3A100194432206%3Bbiz_source%3Ah5_pdp%3Bslot%3A3%3Butlog_bucket_id%3A470687%3Basc_category_id%3A6399%3Bitem_id%3A5596175520%3Bsku_id%3A23812485933%3Bshop_id%3A2434679%3BtemplateInfo%3A107882_D_E%231104_L%23-1_A3_C%23&freeshipping=1&fs_ab=2&fuse_fs=&lang=th&location=สมุทรปราการ&price=2994&priceCompare=skuId%3A23812485933%3Bsource%3Alazada-search-voucher%3Bsn%3A03ac2ce03b86b7c4b91e2f653cbce157%3BoriginPrice%3A299400%3BdisplayPrice%3A299400%3BsinglePromotionId%3A900000048974742%3BsingleToolCode%3ApromPrice%3BvoucherPricePlugin%3A0%3Btimestamp%3A1742961752956&ratingscore=5.0&request_id=03ac2ce03b86b7c4b91e2f653cbce157&review=13&sale=46&search=1&source=search&spm=a2o4m.searchlist.list.3&stock=1

 

My questions are ..... has anyone bought one? Are they easy to use ? Are they reliable?

 

Many thanks for any and all opinions based on actually owning one. 🙂

Yes I have one, well worth it, stay in your air con home and go for a walk...

 

Dont buy cheap and the cheap ones are often narrow, I bought mine second hand in Pattaya payed 15,000 for it, would retail somewhere 35,000 plus, not a gym one but not far off.

I'm an avid treadmill user and have been since 2008.  Walking pads are great but eventually you might want to increase effort and hard to do with a walking pad.  Problem though is that home treadmills/walking pads are not durable unless you spend 100k+. You might get lucky but I've burned through them until I changed to only incline usage which uses very little power and impact forces. 

 

At 10% inclines even a cheap(6k baht) treadmills I bought to put in a camper  and used 10+ hours a week lasted 3+ years and would have lasted longer if I didn't leave outside on occasion where it got rained on. It literally used less than 10 watts of power at 15% inclines because the user and gravity is producing most of the  belt rotating power needs.
