Redliro 2-in-1 Under Desk Treadmill Review | Walk and Run?

Dimensions/Storability

The Redliro 2-in-1 Treadmill has a very compact yet versatile design. It only weighs 57 lbs. We didn’t expect a huge weight limit because it is a small treadmill. The Redliro is rated to handle up to 220 lbs of user weight—the same as the WalkingPad C2. Other 2-in-1 treadmills, like the WalkingPad R2, support up to 240 lbs. However, this treadmill is larger than the Redliro.

The Redliro is a small treadmill that will work best for folks looking for a really small compact model for primarily walking. Even if you just plan on using it at your desk, it’s a good option. It’s really convenient to use upstairs and in places like apartments. Its unfolded dimensions are 52” L x 25” W x 42” H, while the folded dimensions are 52” L x 25” W x 6.5” H.

It’s perfect for storing under a bed or couch because it is only a few inches tall when the handle is folded. The Redliro can be stored upright and leaned against a wall, too. There are feet that it sits on under the motor hood and feet under the deck to rest against a wall. Other under-desk treadmills, like ones from LifeSpan, can’t be stored upright because it could damage the motor.

We appreciate that the Redliro is designed to be stored this way.

It’s also very easy to move. There are two transportation wheels on the front, so when you lift up the back end the wheels engage.

Onboard Workouts & Apps

Console

The console consists of an LED display that’s built into the motor hood. Many under-desk treadmills feature this design. The two window displays cycles between showing your time, calories, steps, distance, and speed.

The numbers are lit up in red and easy to see, but you do have to look down to read your metrics.

To adjust the Redliro 2-In-1, you’ll need to use the handheld remote when you’re using it at your desk. There are adjustment buttons built into the handle, but when it’s folded down, you need the remote for adjusting. The remote is easy to use.

It has a power button for stopping and starting the belt, a button for muting the beeping sounds (fortunately), and buttons for increasing and decreasing the speed.

The “P” buttons on the handle and remote access 12 onboard workouts with preset speed and time goals. The “M” button allows you to set custom time, calories, and distance goals before your workout. We didn’t expect the Redliro to come with so many onboard workout options! They’re generic compared to programs included on larger treadmills, but they’re nice to have.

Overall, the console is easy to see and use. It doesn’t have any connectivity to your phone or third-party apps. You can rest your device on the blue rack that’s built into the top of the collapsible handle. There is a ridge to slip your phone or tablet in if you need it nearby.

The device rack is only usable when the handle is upright.

With how small the Redliro 2-In-1 Under Desk Treadmill is, I’d just put it in front of my TV if I wanted to watch something while walking.

Build Quality

Frame

The frame is under the deck, motor hood, and side rails. For a tiny treadmill, the Redliro feels solid. It also sits very close to the floor, which helps its overall stability.

The frame is made of alloy steel, which is corrosion-resistant.

The collapsible handlebar is essentially two steel uprights that connect through one continuous piece that’s the handle. As far as balance assistance, the handlebar works just fine when it’s upright. It isn’t something I’d put all my weight into, but it feels sturdy enough to grab when I need to catch my balance. The handlebar is coated with foam for easier gripping.

The height of the handlebar isn’t adjustable like the WalkingPad R2, so it might feel pretty short for taller users over 6 feet.

I’m 5’1”, and it is at the height of my waist.

Motor

The Redliro is said to have a 2.25 HP motor. We’re pleased with how quiet it is. I’ve used it under my desk for months, and I’ve even jogged on this treadmill. I have yet to disrupt my coworkers too much. The motor is capable of reaching an impressive 7.5 mph when the handrail is raised.

The speed caps out at 4 mph when you’re using it under a desk. I know that I only walk at about 1-2 mph in order to operate a computer, so this speed should be plenty fast for most. 4 mph is a fast walking pace, if not a slow jogging speed for some.

Even though the motor is said to be pretty hardy, I wouldn’t use the Redliro 2-In-1 at its max speed for long periods. This treadmill isn’t designed for heavy use, so I’d stick with lighter use, like 1-3 miles per day.

The Redliro doesn’t incline. We didn’t expect it to, considering how affordable and compact it is.

Deck

This treadmill can fit most spaces. The deck is 15” wide and 41” long. This sized deck isn’t best if you want to jog and use the treadmill at 7.5 mph, especially if you have long running strides. I’m 5’1”, and I have a fairly short stride, but I can’t run on the deck at its full speed. The fastest pace I can reach on it with enough room is 6.5 mph.

Even though the belt can reach pretty high speeds, the deck is a little constricting because of its size.

Comparably, I can run at 7.5 mph on the WalkingPad R2, which has a 47” long deck. This difference might not seem like much, but it is enough of a change in length for me to have enough room to run faster. Our tallest reviewer Matt is 6’5” and he can only walk on the Redliro’s deck.

It’s important to consider this if you plan on using the Redliro 2-In-1 Treadmill for light jogging. Most people up to the weight limit should have enough room for walking.

For use under a desk, the width might feel a little constricting, especially if you have a wide desk or use two monitors.

When I’m working and walking at my desk, I occasionally need to peek down at my feet to make sure I’m staying centered on the deck.

Wider under-desk treadmills like the LifeSpan TR5000 provide more room width and length, so this sized treadmill might be better if you prefer more room to walk on.

The cushioning is firm and comparable to other models like the WalkingPad C2 and also the Redliro Wood Under Desk Treadmill. There isn’t much cushioning in the deck, but for walking and jogging for a few miles per day, the cushioning should be plenty sufficient for lessening the impact on your joints. It’s certainly softer than walking and jogging on the pavement outside.

Convertibility

For a 2-in-1 treadmill, the Redliro is really easy to use, and it’s also very compact. Compared to the WalkingPad R2, it’s a little easier to raise and lower the handles and less of a process to get up and running from storing.

The two knobs on either side of the deck that locks and unlock the handle just require you to twist them to raise and lower the handle. When you’re tightening the knob, there are jagged teeth that interlock together when the knobs are tightened.

The black knobs on the uprights need to be tightened when the handle is up and down.

When the handle is up, you can clip the end of the safety key to your clothing, so if you fall, the belt will stop when the safety key is pulled. Even when the handlebar is down and you’re using the Redliro at your desk, the key needs to be plugged into the handle. You won’t be able to wear it like this, but the belt won’t start if the safety key isn’t plugged in.

The safety key clips into the top of the handle.

One aspect we don’t get into very much in our reviews is price, however, I want to highlight how inexpensive the Redliro 2-In-1 Under Desk Treadmill is. When treadmills are priced under $500, we tend to get a little wary of the quality, but the Redliro is a good treadmill for being so small.

Warranty

The Redliro 2-In-1 comes with a 1-year warranty. It also comes fully assembled and ready to go out of the box.

Redliro 2-in-1 Under Desk Treadmill Q&A / FAQ

Can I run on a Redliro treadmill?

You can run up to 7.5 mph on the Redliro treadmill. The belt is only 15” x 41” so not all runners will be comfortable running at this pace. We had to shorten our strides to run on this treadmill. Use caution and consider restricting your runs to slow and short efforts. These precautions will keep the motor from burning out prematurely, too.

Can a Redliro treadmill be stored upright?

Yes, the Redliro can be stored upright. It is easy to place upright. We have kept ours upright without any issues.

What is a 2-in-1 treadmill?

A 2-in-1 treadmill like the Redliro converts from an under-desk treadmill to a running treadmill. This process often entails folding the console up and down. The upright console provides some stability and guidance while running. When the console is folded to the floor, the treadmill can be placed under a desk.
