Which treadmill works best? What treadmills (models, companies, etc) have you found to work well with this desk?

I spent about a year testing each of the different desks out there as purchasing a treadmill desk is a major purchase. You can see the results of my research here: http://www.blog.joelx.com/lifespan-fitness-treadmill-desk-review-comparison/6645/

This is not the best treadmill desk. It can't be adjusted for height so it can be painful to walk on for extended periods of time. Also, the desk is slightly inclined and never lays completely flat. In my opinion, it's worth it to pay more money for a better brand of desk that can be adjusted for height and is made better, which is exactly what I did.

I am 5'1" and use the TrekDesk. I was meticulous in measuring the lowest height of the trekdesk (from scematics on their website) and then checking the height of the treadmill panels before I bought a treadmill. The bottom of my treadmill panel is just below the lip of the desk. Also, I put a rubber mat under the treadmill to raise it up a bit. They recommend that anyway in case of oil leak. Mine works fine. After a few tens of times of jumping on and off I have to adjust the belt.

The problem I have is that the treadmill makes a lot of noise, i had a maintain person from proform and it she couldn't help much. I have a problem with ProForms tech's they dont return my calls and they dont answer there phone, now I just live with it. Its been about a year that I stop calling the techs

The treadmill will go up to 4 miles an hour but we use it at 1.5 to 2 mph. This is a great unit - the desk is very stable and it is all very quiet.

I gave up on my WorkFit because my monitor jiggled too much. I switched to a Kangaroo for a year, and then bought a real sit-stand desk, which works beautifully (but cost $1400). I'm about to put my Kangaroo on Craig's List (email ghillerson@gmail.com if interested). I don't know how large the desk would need to be for the WorkFit, but it is heavy (and the assembly instructions suck). The kangaroo needs something like 26" or 28" of depth and about 24" of length.

I just bought the same combination and so far I love it. Much more versatile than I think the Fitdesk would have been. Comfortable and quiet and just the right height. Doesn't even take much if any more room than my old desk/chair combination, and it is more portable, although I will probably leave it set up most of the time.

I have had the treadmill for several months and have had no problems at all. It is a big, solid machine. I rarely use the iFit function though.

No this one is perfect... Trust me. I did research for a while before I went with this one because I'm very picky. I didn't want something cheap but I didn't want to pay a fortune either. I love my treadmill and I'm happy on my choice!

I haven't tried it but the reviews said many things about the treadmill which aren't completely true... ie, the usb port is not ipod compatible and you have to buy many programs

It's a good idea to have another chair available for a while, when I first started using it I could only go for an hour at a time, now I can use it all day though I typically only use it before lunch then switch to a conventional chair for the rest of the day. My next step will be a treadmill desk.

I suggest that you view the instructions that came with your treadmill to determine what to use. As to specifically answering your question --- several other persons have done that, and a query using your internet browser should come up with some answers.

Any luck finding one? thinking about picking this treadmill up and would like to read while using.

I have not used it with that particular treadmill but I have not seen one that it did not work with yet.

I bought a desk that I can crank up and down. I try and get my 10000 steps in and then I lower my desk and put a chair on my treadmill. If I start feeling tired in the afternoon, I raise my desk and start walking again. This really helps me manage my energy. I feel like I get more work done this way. If you just were moving the treadmill in and out it might be a little difficult. I bought a cheap chair from Ikea that I can easily move on the treadmill and then off again. This system has worked the best for me.

My Omron HJ112 did not work with a treadmill. I don't know about other machines.
