1. Belt width and length
The walking surfaces I've seen range from about 15 to 16.5 inches wide. The walking pad I purchased has a 15-by-40-inch belt, which is adequate for me at 5'6" with size 9.5 shoes. I wouldn't want anything smaller, though, and the 16.5-inch-wide belt on this particular model provides some welcome extra room.
2. Automatic vs. manual incline
My walking pad has a manual incline, which I actually prefer because it means one less motorized component that could eventually break. It also has adjustable supports that screw down beneath the middle of the walking pad for additional stability and weight support. At approximately 40 pounds, mine feels solid and well-built.
This walking pad weighs closer to 60 pounds and offers automatic incline, but it does not have the additional middle supports. However, the manufacturer claims it uses thicker steel, which would help explain the additional weight.
3. Handlebar operation
Some walking pads include a handlebar, while others do not. If you choose one with a handlebar, make sure the machine can operate with the handlebar both raised and folded down.
This is my only real complaint about the walking pad I purchased: it operates only when the handlebar is raised. That limits its usefulness under a desk and makes storage or use in tighter spaces less convenient.
4. Cost and portability
My walking pad normally sells for $139, but I paid $99 after using a $40 American Express Amazon promotion. Overall, I'm extremely happy with the purchase. My only complaint is the handlebar limitation. I'm also glad mine weighs only 40 pounds because moving and putting it away is much easier than it would be with a 60-pound machine.
One final observation: I strongly suspect that many of these walking pads are manufactured by the same handful of factories in China and then sold under different brand names. Many models look nearly identical aside from the branding. The meaningful differences seem to be the production generation, belt dimensions, motor size, incline mechanism, and small design improvements made over time.
