Merach makes rowers, bikes and other home gym equipment, and its walking pads stand out for heavier walkers because two of them are rated for 400 pounds and Merach publishes continuous motor ratings, which many budget brands do not. This review compares the four Merach walking pads we can match to current amazon.com listings and explains which one fits which buyer. To see Merach against every other brand, read our best walking pads guide.
The quick version: the W50 is the core model, the W60 is a W50 with armrests and extras, the W50 Lite trades some capacity and motor for a lighter frame, and the T19 is a different kind of machine, a folding 2-in-1 with a handlebar.
Which Merach walking pad should you buy?
- Best overall: MERACH W50, 400-pound rating, 1 to 12% motorized incline and a 1.25 HP continuous motor.
- Best with armrests: MERACH UltraWalk W60, the W50's core specs plus foldable armrests.
- Best lighter option: MERACH W50 Lite, 350 pounds and 10% incline at 53.1 pounds.
- Best for walking and jogging: MERACH T19, a folding handlebar and up to 7.6 mph.
Merach walking pads compared
The three flat pads share a 41.3 x 16.5-inch belt; the main differences are weight rating, motor and extras.

The 4 Merach walking pads, in detail
1. MERACH W50: best Merach for most people
Why we picked it: The W50 (sold on Merach's site as the NovaWalk W50 TrekPad) is the model the rest of the range is built around. It is rated for 400 pounds, has a brushless motor listed at 1.25 HP continuous and 3.5 HP peak, and tilts from 1 to 12% by motor. Merach rates it for up to 10 hours of use a day and claims about 40 dB of noise. The belt is 41.3 x 16.5 inches, a little wider than most pads, which helps if you drift while typing. It comes with a magnetic remote and the Merach app. It does not fold; it stands upright for storage, and at 69.2 pounds it is not something you will want to move daily. There is no handrail in the box. Two amazon.com listings exist, the original W50 and a newer NovaWalk W50 TrekPad listing. Our Merach W50 review has the full breakdown.
Key specs:
- Motor: 1.25 HP continuous, 3.5 HP peak, brushless
- Speed: 0.6 to 4.0 mph
- Incline: 1 to 12%, motorized
- Max user weight: 400 lb
- Belt: 41.3 x 16.5 in
- Weight and size: 69.2 lb; 50.2 x 22.2 x 6.1 in; stands upright, does not fold
- Warranty: 1 year standard plus 1 year with membership registration (Merach)
Pros
- 400-pound rating
- Continuous motor rating published
- 12% motorized incline
- Rated for long daily use
Cons
- Heavy
- Does not fold
- No handrail
- 4 mph top speed
Who should skip it: anyone who needs to lift the pad into a closet, and anyone who wants a handle to hold (the W60 has armrests).
2. MERACH UltraWalk W60: best with armrests
Why we picked it: The W60 shares the W50's core: the same 3.5 HP peak and 1.25 HP continuous brushless motor, 400-pound rating, 41.3 x 16.5-inch belt and 50.2 x 22.2 x 6.1-inch footprint. Its incline runs from 0 to 12% in 12 motorized levels. What it adds is foldable armrests, a 5W speaker, RGB lighting and a magnetic remote dock. Merach's page also offers the best warranty in the range: 2 years standard plus 1 year of free motor protection. Merach quotes an average of 53.6 dB. HighTechDad's review of the W60 Plus describes it as stable and quiet but heavy at 67.7 pounds (HighTechDad review). A naming note: Amazon sells it as the UltraWalk W60, while merachfit.com sells the UltraWalk W60 Plus. We treat them as the same product because the specs match.
Key specs:
- Motor: 1.25 HP continuous, 3.5 HP peak, brushless
- Speed: 0.6 to 4.0 mph
- Incline: 0 to 12%, motorized, 12 levels
- Max user weight: 400 lb
- Belt: 41.3 x 16.5 in
- Weight and size: 67.7 lb; 50.2 x 22.2 x 6.1 in; stores flat or upright
- Warranty: 2 years plus 1 year free motor protection (Merach product page)
Pros
- Armrests included
- 400-pound rating
- Longest warranty of the four
- Speaker and lighting
Cons
- Heavy
- Does not fold
- 4 mph top speed
- The lighting and speaker add little if you walk at a desk with headphones on
Who should skip it: anyone who needs to fold the pad away or wants jogging speeds.
Note: the Amazon title and Merach's site use slightly different names (W60 and W60 Plus). Check that the listing shows the armrests and 400-pound rating before you buy.
3. MERACH W50 Lite: best lighter option
Why we picked it: The W50 Lite keeps the same 41.3 x 16.5-inch belt as the W50 but cuts the weight to 53.1 pounds and the height to 5.2 inches, which makes it easier to move and slightly lower under a desk. It is rated for 350 pounds and has a 1 to 10% motorized incline, a built-in carry handle, a Bluetooth speaker, a magnetic remote and the Merach app, with a 2-year warranty. Merach claims under 40 dB. The trade-off is the motor: 0.75 HP continuous (3.0 HP peak), well below the W50's 1.25 HP. Merach's site lists it under Clearance, which may mean a model change is coming, so buy it while stock lasts rather than expecting it to be around for years. Best Buy sells it as model MR-T25B4.
Key specs:
- Motor: 0.75 HP continuous, 3.0 HP peak
- Speed: 0.6 to 4.0 mph
- Incline: 1 to 10%, motorized
- Max user weight: 350 lb
- Belt: 41.3 x 16.5 in
- Weight and size: 53.1 lb; 48.0 x 20.5 x 5.2 in; does not fold
- Warranty: 2 years
Pros
- 350-pound rating at a mid-range price
- Motorized incline
- 16 pounds lighter than the W50
- Lower deck
Cons
- Much smaller continuous motor rating
- Listed as clearance
- Does not fold
Who should skip it: anyone close to 350 pounds, and anyone who plans long daily sessions, who will be better served by the W50's larger motor.
4. MERACH T19: best for walking and jogging
Why we picked it: The T19 (model MR-T19B3) is Merach's folding 2-in-1. With the handlebar folded down it is a walking pad up to 3.8 mph; raise the handlebar and running mode reaches 7.6 mph. It has a 6% manual incline, a 3.0 HP motor (brand figure), a 300-pound rating, an LED screen, a remote and the Merach app. It folds flat to 50.7 x 23 x 4.3 inches and has wheels, so it slides under a bed. The Best Buy listing quotes a maximum of 45 dB while running. The limits: the 37.4 x 16-inch belt is short for jogging strides, the incline is set by hand, and neither the product weight nor the warranty is published in the sources we read. Merach's own site does not list the T19; it is sold on Amazon and Best Buy.
Key specs:
- Motor: 3.0 HP (brand figure)
- Speed: up to 3.8 mph walking mode; up to 7.6 mph running mode
- Incline: 6%, manual
- Max user weight: 300 lb
- Belt: 37.4 x 16 in
- Size: 50.7 x 23 x 4.3 in folded; product weight not published
Pros
- Jogs to 7.6 mph
- Folding handlebar
- Folds to 4.3 inches
- Budget price tier
Cons
- Short belt for jogging
- Manual incline
- Weight and warranty not published
- Not on Merach's own site
Who should skip it: tall walkers, regular runners, and anyone over 300 pounds, who should look at the W50 instead.
How to choose between Merach models
W50 or W60
These two share the motor, belt, incline range, weight rating and footprint. The W60 adds armrests, a speaker, RGB lighting and a longer warranty (2 years plus 1 year of motor protection, against 1 year plus 1 year with registration on the W50). If you want something to hold, or you value the longer warranty, the W60 is worth the difference. If you will walk hands-free while typing, the W50 gives you the same core machine.
Use continuous horsepower, not peak
Merach is one of the few brands that publishes continuous ratings. The W50 and W60 are rated 1.25 HP continuous and the W50 Lite 0.75 HP. Continuous horsepower is what the motor sustains over long sessions, so it matters more than the 3.0 or 3.5 HP peak figures. A practical rule: if you weigh over about 250 pounds or plan to walk more than two or three hours a day, pick the 1.25 HP models.
Leave a weight margin
Pick a pad rated at least 30 to 50 pounds above your weight. That puts the W50 and W60 (400 pounds) in reach for walkers up to about 350 to 370 pounds, the W50 Lite (350 pounds) up to about 300 to 320 pounds, and the T19 (300 pounds) up to about 250 to 270 pounds. Our best walking pads for heavier people guide compares Merach with other high-capacity pads, and our weight limit guide explains why the margin helps.
Storage and desk height
None of the three flat pads folds. The W50 stands upright, the W60 stores flat or upright, and the W50 Lite lies flat at 5.2 inches tall. The T19 folds to 4.3 inches. Under a desk, the W50 and W60 raise you about 6.1 inches and the W50 Lite about 5.2 inches, so a desk set at 43 inches for floor standing would need about 49.1 inches with the W50. Check your desk's maximum height before you buy.
Noise claims
Merach quotes about 40 dB for the W50, under 40 dB for the W50 Lite and an average of 53.6 dB for the W60, even though the W60 shares the W50's motor. That gap suggests the figures were measured differently, so do not use them to rank the models. If noise is a concern, put any pad on a mat and read our guide to walking pad noise.
What to know about Merach
The company: Merach says it was founded in 2018 in Hangzhou, China, and it trades globally as Merachfit, with a US office in Las Vegas, Nevada. It makes rowers, bikes, treadmills, ellipticals and recovery tools (Merach about page). Its current walking pads on merachfit.com are the NovaWalk W50 TrekPad, the W50 Lite and the UltraWalk W60 Plus. An older Merach 2-in-1, the T05, is no longer available new at Best Buy.
App: all four models use the MERACH app, which syncs workouts with Apple Health and Google Fit. Each model also has a remote, so the app is optional.
Warranty: Merach's about page states a 2-year warranty with an optional paid extension. Product pages add detail: the W50 lists 1 year standard plus 1 year with membership registration, and the W60 Plus adds 1 year of free motor protection. We could not find warranty terms for the T19, so check the Amazon or Best Buy listing before you buy it.
Support: Merach lists +1 (833) 529-6620 and info.us@merachfit.com, Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Eastern time.
Safety record: we searched the CPSC recall database and found no recall or warning naming a Merach walking pad or treadmill as of September 2026. The 2026 CPSC walking pad warning covers Sperax; see our Sperax walking pad warning page.
Merach vs rivals
Merach vs UREVO: UREVO's CyberPad reaches up to 14% incline by the brand's figure and has a longer 43.3-inch belt, but its weight rating ranges from 242 to 350 pounds depending on the source. The Merach W50 is the more consistent choice for heavier walkers. See our UREVO walking pad review.
Merach vs WalkingPad: KingSmith's WalkingPads fold in half and have belts of about 47 inches, but none has an incline and the highest rating is 300 pounds. Choose WalkingPad for storage and Merach for capacity and incline. Our KingSmith WalkingPad review covers the range.
Merach vs DeerRun: the DeerRun Z10 offers a 12% motorized incline and a 300-pound rating for less, but with a belt of about 35 inches and motor claims that are not independently confirmed. Our DeerRun walking pad review explains the trade-off, and our best walking pads with incline guide ranks all of them.
How we researched this review
We compared Merach's product pages and about page, Amazon and Best Buy listing data, and HighTechDad's review of the W60 Plus, plus the CPSC recall database. We used Merach's published figures and noted where names or specs differ between sellers. We did not test these pads in person, and we update this page when Merach changes its range.
