One customer commented that they bought it because it seemed like great value, and are happy with their purchase, working "straight out of the box" with a bit of programme variety.

Any negatives? Well, some customers disagree about performance, quality and noise. So, that's something to be aware of. One customer specified that they found the programme set-up baffling and the start-up noise unnecessarily and incredibly loud - but loved this pick, nevertheless.

It may not come with handlebars, like some of the other models listed, but you’re looking at a decent under-desk treadmill that does everything you want and, more importantly, need. Its top speed is 6kph, while its non-slip running belt makes pacing and light jogging safer on this treadmill.

Speed-wise, this JTX Fitness Movelight: Walking Treadmill goes up to 6kph, which is a good pace for some light jogging and it even has wheels underneath for easy manoeuvring. We love that you don’t have to fuss around on the floor with different buttons to get this treadmill going, as it’s controlled with a remote control. Keep track of your speed, calories and activity data via the LED screen.

One customer commented that it does everything they need it to do - very quiet with clear instructions and displays. Its eight-piece elastic cushion deck ensures this treadmill is super quiet so that you can remain in full focus while pacing. Any negatives?

One customer did say that it's a little heavier than expected, with the belt rotation not matching gym quality, but finds it a great choice for small spaces and getting your daily steps in. One customer commented that the auto-shut-off is a bit of a nuisance, shutting off and deleting stats quicker than they'd like, whether ending or pausing a workout. Apparently, this is not mentioned in the manual.

Whether you want to do some walking or light jogging whilst working, this treadmill has a compact design so that it can fit snugly under your desk. Worried you’ll be disturbed while working? Don’t be.

A few customers have had small issues/niggles with this model. One customer said that it doesn't quite go fast enough for a proper run, but is great for easy, gentle under-desk use.

It's also got shock absorption to bring you a comfortable running experience. It's got a remote control that you can make the speed faster or slower while running or walking without needing to look at the screen. It's a quiet model, perfect for those of us who need some treadmill convenience.

This under-desk treadmill has a five-degree incline to make your walk or jog, that little bit harder. The Egofit Walker Pro M1/M1T Under Desk Treadmill's walking speed goes up to 5kph however, when you pop up the handrails on the side, it goes up to 6kph. What are the reviews saying?

Many customers agree that the appearance, sturdiness and versatility were strong elements that make this treadmill a contender for the top spot. One customer commented that it's a great way to get you moving whilst you work, perfect for a decent cardio workout. It'll get you out of breath. Another review says the easy manoeuvrability is a plus - meaning it can be moved around easily.

As for negatives, most reviews are in the five-star region, so there aren't that many. Some opinions are mixed on noise and mobility. And, you will need a high-standing desk to deal with the incline.

Unlike the other under-desk treadmills, this model can be controlled by your phone via an app, as well as by a remote control (which is handy in case you misplace it). Its silver-red combo has a sporty feel to it and its built-in wheels make it easy to move about. It's great if you're looking for a challenge.

As well as getting you moving on your feet more whilst working, under-desk treadmills are a brilliant piece of fitness equipment to have if you live in a small space. This model in particular is ideal for smaller homes as not only is its design slim and sleek, but it also folds up, making it even smaller when it comes to storage. It's the lightest under-desk treadmill we've listed too, weighing just 25kg, and has wheels underneath so that it's even easier to move. What are the reviews saying?

This WalkingPad C2 (S1) Treadmill has gained a 4.1/5 star rating from over 450 reviews on Amazon. Many customers agree that the portability and performance of this treadmill are the best features.

One customer commented that it's good to use while working and the various speed settings help them to use it for jogging, as well. They add: that it doesn't take up much space and slips under their desk.

As for negatives, there are a few reviews that say it's a litlenoisy. Despite being small and easy to store, some customers have found it a little heavier than expected. So, if you're not feeling up to lugging it around, be wary. If you're happy to type away or attend meetings with it going, by all means, do it, but be wary of the noise. Some opinions are mixed on the app and remote capabilities.

It doesn't come with any handlebars, so is primarily suitable for walking only as it goes up to 6kph. This treadmill has the option of being controlled from either a remote or an app, that you can download on your phone, and it will keep track of all your important activity data via the LED screen. We also like that it has a lock feature controlled via the app, to stop children from misusing it.

From a handful of reviews on Amazon, this Bluefin Fitness Kick Lite Pad has earned an impressive 4.7/5 star rating. Customers love how sturdy and easy it is to pack away. One customer said that it's slim, and lightweight for home gyms, which folds down and can be slid under a desk. It comes with a great size walking pad, and is quiet, as well as responsive when adjusting speed to your abilities

However, you'll need to subscribe to a service if you want to use the compatible app, which is said to be a little costly. However, many customers admit it's not essential to the treadmill.

We like that it has a remote to control 15 different training programs during your workout and an LED display so you can monitor the stats of your fitness goals. It is fitted with an auto lubrication system which will create smooth, low-noise performance, plus a cushioning running belt to support a softer and quieter workout experience. It's great if you're looking for something quiet and lightweight.

The folding treadmill from CITYSPORTS is another one you should consider when looking for an under-desk treadmill. It’s even lighter than the JXT model featured earlier in this list and, again, has wheels underneath so you’ll have no problem moving it around your home. However, the actual size of the treadmill itself is bigger, so just make sure you have enough space to store it. And reviews?

From the reviews on Amazon UK, this CITYSPORTS Treadmill has an average 4/5 star rating. Many customers agree that the quality and value of this product are its standout features. One customer said it's well-built and they are impressed by it, due to the price they paid for it. They add that it's easy and quiet to run and worth investing in for improving 7our health from your home.

However, there are some mixed opinions regarding ease of use, performance and weight. One customer commented that it is decently built and, therefore, is heavy, so don't waste too much energy moving it around. They add that it's best for casual exercisers, not for long, intense workouts.

The silent belt ensures family or colleagues aren’t disturbed while your treadmill is in use, and there’s an LED screen to keep track of your progress, which is controlled via a remote. But what we really like about this treadmill is the frame bars it comes with to provide extra support (just in case you do want to go for a brisk jog). From the reviews, this option feels safe, simple and perfect for gentle walks.
