The Merach UltraWalk W60 Plus is a steel-framed walking pad with auto-incline up to 12% and a 400 lb weight capacity. Garage Gym Reviews gave it 4.3 out of 5 after its tester found it exceptionally stable and quiet, and Run to the Finish scored it 91% after using it daily, including on work calls. Both note its 4 mph top speed rules out real running, and there is no handrail for steep incline walking.
Full review
Stable, quiet and built for heavier users
Garage Gym Reviews rated the W60 Plus 4.3 out of 5, with 5 out of 5 for durability and for delivery and setup. Its tester found it exceptionally stable and reliable compared with other treadmills she had tested, saying it felt like walking on a track rather than concrete. The steel frame supports users up to 400 pounds.
Run to the Finish, which scored it 91%, was surprised how heavy and substantial the 67.7 lb pad felt out of the box, yet found it light enough to roll on its end wheels for storage. Its reviewer walked fast on an incline while her family was nearby, and her husband could not hear it from his home office; she also took several client calls while walking.
Incline instead of speed
The pad tops out at 4 mph, which Run to the Finish describes as closer to a very fast walk than a light jog, and the deck felt too short for its reviewer's running stride. What it adds is auto-incline up to 12%, which Run to the Finish says will get your glutes burning. Without side rails, though, it warns that 12% is not for everyone. Garage Gym Reviews scored motor and speed range 4.5 out of 5.
Controls and display
Garage Gym Reviews' tester liked being able to adjust belt tension to find the right rebound and to silence the beeps, which she says matters if you use it in a shared space, but it scored tech capabilities 3 out of 5. Run to the Finish found the remote's unlabeled buttons took some getting used to, and liked that the base display shows time, mileage, speed, incline and step count.

- −No handrail, so Run to the Finish does not think 12% incline suits everyone
- −Garage Gym Reviews scored tech capabilities only 3 out of 5
- −Run to the Finish found the deck too short for a running stride and the unlabeled remote took some learning
