Verdict

Pros & cons

Das Merach T25 W50 ist ein reines Walking Pad mit elektrischer Steigung bis 12 % und einer Tragkraft von bis zu 180 kg. Damit passt es zu Gehern im Homeoffice und zu schweren Menschen, die bergauf trainieren wollen. Der bürstenlose Motor darf laut Hersteller 600 min am Stück laufen. Die Haken: kein Joggen, knapp ab 1,90 m, außerdem 31 kg Gewicht und ein schwer erreichbarer Support.

Pros

  • Belastbar bis 180 kg, Deck bleibt auch unter schweren Schritten ruhig
  • Elektrische Steigung bis 12 %, während des Gehens verstellbar
  • Bürstenloser Motor, laut Hersteller bis 600 min Dauerbetrieb
  • Kinomap passt die Steigung automatisch an die Videostrecke an
  • Tempo in 0,1-km/h-Schritten ab 1 km/h fein regelbar
  • Vollständig montiert geliefert, weiches Laufgefühl durch Silikonpuffer

Cons

  • Kein Joggen, Höchsttempo laut Tests nur 6 bis 6,5 km/h
  • Lauffläche für Menschen ab etwa 1,90 m knapp
  • 31 kg schwer, nicht klappbar und nur flach zu lagern
  • Fernbedienung fällt leicht aus der Magnethalterung

Das WalkingPad Z1 ist ein leises Gehband für den Schreibtisch: bürstenloser Motor ohne Lüfter, 121 cm lange Lauffläche bis etwa 1,95 m Körpergröße und Mittelfaltung auf 81 cm. Wir halten es für eine durchdachte Wahl fürs Homeoffice. Der Haken: Nach 60 Minuten braucht es eine Pause, die Fernbedienung springt in 0,5-km/h-Stufen, und Joggen ist nicht vorgesehen.

Pros

  • Ruhiger Lauf ohne Lüfter, in Tests rund 50 dB bei 3 km/h
  • Lauffläche von 121 cm reicht in Tests bis etwa 1,95 m Körpergröße
  • Mittelfaltung auf 81 x 56 cm, auch hochkant lagerbar
  • Bürstenloser Motor mit 550 W Dauerleistung für kühlen, verschleißarmen Lauf
  • Tempo in 0,1-km/h-Schritten über die kostenlose App
  • Mit 23 kg und Rollen allein zwischen Zimmern verschiebbar

Cons

  • Nach 60 Minuten Dauerbetrieb ist eine Pause nötig
  • Fernbedienung verstellt das Tempo nur in 0,5-km/h-Stufen
  • Verrutschendes Band wird in mehreren Erfahrungsberichten genannt
  • Zum Joggen kaum geeignet, bei 6 km/h ohne Haltegriff wackelig
  • Keine Trainingsprogramme und keine Steigung
