Summary
The Merex Folding Treadmill is a compact budget option. The maximum speed is only 7.5 MPH and the running deck is only 43.3 inches long, which is much shorter than we typically recommend. We generally look for 50 inches for walking and at least 55 inches for running. Customer reviews generally found it good for the price but many struggled with durability and had issues within the first year of purchase.
