Who should pick which

Pick the Merach W50 if

  • you weigh more than about 190 lb. It is rated for 400 lb against 220 lb, and we suggest 30 lb of headroom above your weight.

Pick the WalkingPad C2 if

  • you are tall or walk briskly. Its 47.2-inch belt suits walkers up to about 7'1" at slow desk pace (5'11" with 6 inches of room to drift), and up to about 5'4" for brisk walking, against 5'11" at slow desk pace on the 41.3-inch belt.

  • storage space is tight. It folds (yes, folds in half (180 degrees)); the other one does not fold its deck.

Our buying guides

How these pages are built

Every figure comes from the maker's product page, manual or the Amazon listing, and we only include models with a live, in-stock Amazon listing we checked ourselves. When sources disagree on a weight limit we use the lowest number. We do not test these machines ourselves.

Height fit starts from a typical walking step of 0.41 times your height (0.45 when walking briskly), adds 12 inches for your shoe, and 6 more inches of room to drift for a comfortable fit. These are rough guides, not measurements of you. Weight fit leaves 30 lb of headroom above your body weight.
