Realistically, I didn't get to a point in my life where I need a treadmill because I exactly like exercising. I can go on my treadmill and distract myself by watching TV and I can use it even even it's cold as balls or raining.
This walking pad is best for light desk walking and easy storage, especially under a standing or adjustable desk. The compact, narrow deck and remote control make it simple to tuck away and use for email, calls, or casual browsing, and the 250 pound rating is noted in the comments. The main tradeoff is stability and typing comfort, since higher speeds make precise mouse and keyboard work harder and the lack of rails can feel awkward. It is a practical fit if you want low speed movement during work rather than a full treadmill experience.
Desk walkers with a proper-height standing setup, because it fits under an adjustable desk and works for walking while you work.
Yes, it can work under a standing or adjustable desk if the desk height is proper. It is best for light computer tasks like email, routine clicking, and typing at slower speeds; precise mouse work and fast typing become harder as speed increases.
No incline is mentioned for this model, and it does not have rails. That makes it more of a flat walking pad for desk use than a full treadmill, and some users prefer adding support or choosing a model with rails.
Around 1.5 to 2 mph is the most workable range for desk use, with some users pushing to about 2.5 to 3 mph before it gets tricky. Above about 2 mph, bobbing and balance make fine mouse movements and typing less practical.
Yes, it is stated to support 250 lb. One commenter also reported using a similar unit above its listed weight without issue, but the practical fit still depends on your size and balance on the narrow belt.
It is described as loud, but also small and light enough to tuck away after use. The compact size makes it easy to store under furniture, which is part of the appeal for home office setups.
A lot of people put these under their adjustable desk so they can walk at their computer.
I'm actually interested in doing this for when I WFH. Any one have any experience using this to walk, work and type at the same time? Is it a practical thing to do?

Yes, as long as you have a desk with a proper height.

Nice deal, but I really need the rails.
It's not on sale, but check out the Xterra TR150, it's like $325 on Amazon right now.
I initially bought it because of the low price and because it requires relatively little headroom so it fit in our basement well.
However, I've had it for almost 5 years now and it's still going strong. Even survived a basement flooding.
It says 250lbs, but I started using it when I was like 280 without issue.
The track is fairly narrow and it only has manual incline, but still a great machine imo.

From my personal experience, that idea isn't great if you have to focus on hand movements.
You are generally bouncing around too much to type or use the mouse efficiently.
It was just easier to focus on what I was doing and getting it done then using a treadmill for 20 minutes an hour.

I WFH and use this. There is a certain speed where I'd say it takes a bit more concentration to do certain tasks at the computer, but with focus you quickly get used to it. I find up to about 2.5mph-3mph is when It becomes a little tricky. I like 1.5mph-2mph to do things like email, relatively routine clicking tasks, typing etc where you can still hold a conversation at that speed. I enjoy it, and it's a good way to get my steps in while working - during times I'd otherwise just be sitting down. Highly recommend it to anyone that can fit it into their lifestyle.

I use it, definitely have to explain to people when I am on video calls that I'm walking at my desk because you'll be bobbing around a little bit. I will say, using it above about 2 mph gets a little impractical. And while I walk at 2 mph is beneficial, it's not gonna do a whole lot for you healthwise, but it's better than nothing.

Not fond of walking outside when it's like 5 degrees and icy.
