This folding under-desk walking treadmill folds into a half and tucks under your desk when it is not in use. It also has wheels for fairly easy transport in case you want to move it around your room.

1. Lifespan TR1200-DT3

This Lifespan under desk treadmill is one of the most durable and well-designed models on the market. It's built to last for the duration of the day, and features a 2CHP motor with six shock absorbers and an ergonomically-designed surface. The TR1200-DT3 is a great alternative if you're looking to upgrade your desk from a smaller one or if you plan to build your own.

This model features a low-profile design that can be tucked under any standup desk and is mobile thanks to the front wheels. It also features an intelligent console that tracks your steps, distance, and calories burned. The Intelli-Guard feature ensures that the treadmill will only run when you're walking, helping you to focus on your work.

Lifespan has been among the industry's top contenders in treadmill desks for more than 10 years, but they stumbled in recent years due to a reduction in components and quality, and using third-party manufacturing in Asia. This has led to many issues that include malfunctioning treadmill motors, a lack of proper support and documentation, as well as an app that is confusing.

The TR1200-DT3 is an excellent under-desk treadmill that's ideal for most people, but it's not recommended for those who are people who are heavy or intend to walk on an angle (which ergonomists advise against). It has no handles, as those who work while walking typically maintain a moderate pace so they don't need the additional support of grips on a standard running machine.

The best part about this treadmill is its quiet operation, which doesn't disturb others in a shared office space. It's also relatively easy to set up and operate, and despite its size, it's still quite portable. Be sure to place the TR1200-DT3 on a sturdy flat surface because it's not designed to be leaned against the wall, like other treadmill desk models. Keep the treadmill on a flat surface, as the lubricant on the belt can spill onto the motor over time, causing damage. This unit has a warranty that is limited for an entire lifetime.

2. Bluefin Task 2.0

The Bluefin Fitness Task is a great option for a simple treadmill in your office at home. It folds up and tucked away neatly when not in use. The Bluefin treadmill isn't as fast as other treadmills on this list. It's not a running machine. it, but if you are looking to add a little activity to your daily routine, the Bluefin can help you achieve that.

This treadmill was easy to set up. No messing around was required to get it running. It includes a tablet holder, Bluetooth speakers and everything else you'll require. The LCD display at the top of the treadmill base changes between the number of calories burned as well as speed and distance, making it easy to keep track of your progress. We also liked the ease of connecting to the treadmill via Bluetooth which was a big plus.

The Bluefin treadmill isn't quite as features-rich, but it does offer many benefits for its price. For example, it has 12 built-in walking programs that will automatically change the speed of the treadmill to push you more than you would normally. It's also very quiet when compared to the other models we tested.

This treadmill is small, but it has a disadvantage: it's not as comfortable to use as other treadmills on this list. It is not suitable for users with wide feet and can be too short for taller people. It's also a bit heavier than some of the other treadmills we've tested, at 74 pounds, which means it might not be as easy to move to move it from room to room.
