I got this a few weeks ago for $80. It has mostly been good enough but it has negatives. First, it is just not as wide as the main photo of the woman in the grey pants walking on it suggests. If you concentrate and your balance is good, it is certainly wide enough. However, if you ever try to look at your phone while walking, it is easy to veer slightly left or right (which would not be an issue on an open track or a wider treadmill but there is a smaller margin for veering on this pad), and a slight misstep causes your shoe to get caught halfway on the belt and halfway on the side of the machine. The belt then rubs against your shoe, and I kid you not it chews up and tears up your shoes. My shoes now have a deep, deep gouge on each shoe after getting rubbed by the belt a few dozen times (it probably happens two or three times each time I walk on it). These were otherwise pretty new shoes in good condition so I'm really annoyed about this.
I am 5'7" and walk on the fastest available speed which is 5 km/h (the machine only uses kilometers and not miles by the way - not the worst thing but good to know). There is enough length to the machine to not fall off the back during strides, but there are times where I can feel my feet getting close to the back. I have to make an effort to stay toward the front of the machine. I happened to have a PVC crossbar that was previously used as a family member's ballet balance bar so I've been setting that up above the machine to hold onto. You can probably get by without one, but this crossbar really helps.
It has started making some weird noises after only a few weeks and has given me a couple error codes including one where it apparently overheated (I am not above the weight limit). These things are pretty bad signs to me, so I am considering returning it before my return window ends on the 18th.
Overall, it *can* be a good walking pad in the right circumstances, particularly if you pay active attention to your walking and the size of your stride and your centering on the belt. I don't like having to pay that much attention - walking should be a bit more mindless of an activity that doesn't require active concentration the whole time. But the way it has been destroying my shoes and the early signs of failure/errors are pretty hard issues to ignore. Generally speaking, I can't ultimately recommend this walking pad. It can work, but has several things that are just not what people would want in a walking pad. I think it's a good example of getting what you pay for.

Its alot smaller that you would think. Im 6ft3 and would have to take baby steps to not walk off of it. They are selling for less for this reason plus nothing to hold onto so you dont fall

I'm 6'2" if you put the speed fast enough you don't really take baby steps. Can't take full stride steps but that's ok if you're just walking fast normally and want to get some steps in

Thanks for the warning. My tennis shoes are worth more than this shoe eating machine.
