Under-desk treadmills, or walking pads, offer a way to stay active during the workday.

While we recently highlighted a few good options, we’d advise against buying models that aren’t on our list—our tests have revealed problems with numerous models in the past.

• Follow Our Testing: We assess build quality by running a large metal spinning drum on each treadmill’s belt for 12 hours.
• Look for Trusted Brands: Smaller companies and unknown brands could fall short in manufacturing and customer service. Be wary of fake Amazon reviews, too.
• Consider Drawbacks: Many walking pads performed poorly due to shoddy construction, poor ergonomic fit, or safety concerns.
