The MERACH UltraWalk W60 Plus is worth it only if you will use its incline regularly and want its wider deck. If you only need flat walking under a desk, a flat walking pad covers that job without the incline you would be paying for.
At Under the Load, we have not tested the MERACH UltraWalk W60 Plus, and every claim below is attributed to the source that made it.
Three sources were available in October 2026: a MERACH press release, a Yanko Design article, and one hands-on review from Run to the Finish. They disagree on the weight limit and the price.
Is the W60 Plus Worth It?
The W60 Plus is worth it if you will set the incline on regular walks and want the wider deck. If you only walk flat under a desk, you do not use the incline, and a flat pad covers the job.
The break-even depends on use. Incline adds effort without needing more speed, and the W60 Plus offers 12 automatic incline levels. If you set the incline on most sessions, you use the feature. If you never set it, the incline goes unused.
The sources do not give a dollar break-even. Reported prices move with sales and coupons. To compare costs, check the current checkout price of the W60 Plus on its listing (Yanko Design reported its price at the time of writing) against the flat pads in the best walking pad guide.
The one hands-on review came from Run to the Finish, whose reviewer, Coral Eby, rated the machine 91%. She called it a “durable, quiet and heavy duty walking pad” and a “terrific option, especially for the budget.” She also wrote that it is “definitely not designed to be a machine you run on for hours.” Her durability view rests on the materials and how the machine felt, with no long-term testing reported, so treat “durable” as her impression.
What MERACH Says It Offers
The table lists the specifications from MERACH’s press release and from Yanko Design’s article. Each row is maker-stated unless the source column says otherwise.
| Specification | Figure | Source and status |
|---|---|---|
| Speed range | 0.6 to 4.0 mph | Maker-stated |
| Incline | 12 automatic levels | Maker-stated |

Three rows warrant caution. The weight limit differs between sources. The width comparison is MERACH’s own claim, and the sources here do not state the category standard it is measured against. The lifespan is also a maker claim, and the sources do not show how it was measured.
The motor ratings are easy to misread. The maker rates the motor at 1.25 CHP, and the sources do not explain that rating. The 3.5 HP figure is the peak rating. Ask MERACH how either motor figure was measured.
The display tracks steps, calories, and distance, and the app syncs with Apple Health and Google Fit. Check the listing or ask MERACH how accurate the step and calorie counts are.
What the SGS Claim Does and Does Not Show
MERACH’s press release says the W60 Plus passed SGS testing “across key product performance specifications.” SGS is a third-party testing lab, so the claim is that an outside lab tested the machine.
The release does not name the tests, the pass criteria, or the full results. The claim comes from a company-issued release, so it cannot be checked against a test report. The sources here give no route to the full SGS results, and the claim should be read as no more than MERACH’s own statement.
The only published test values are the noise figures, which the release attributes to SGS-tested specs. Those figures describe sound under three conditions. They do not describe durability, motor performance on the incline, or the result of any single test.
Deck Width, Length, and Stride
The deck measures 420 by 1050 mm. Yanko Design gives that as 16.5 by 41.3 inches. Yanko Design also reports that MERACH calls the deck about 33% wider than the category standard. That is a maker claim. The sources here do not give the category standard, so the percentage cannot be checked from the sources given.
Width and length are separate measures. A wider deck does not add length, and the reviewer’s complaint was about length.
Coral Eby is 5 feet 4 inches tall. She found the length too short for her stride. She also said the machine might feel short for very tall people trying to run. The review did not give deck dimensions, so her length complaint cannot be tied to a figure in the table above.
Before you buy, compare your own stride with the deck length the maker lists, 41.3 inches. The sources give no stride length and no height cutoff, so the reviewer’s account is the only guide the sources offer on this point.
Noise: Maker Figures Versus One Reviewer
MERACH’s figures give three noise levels. At medium speed with a 75 kg load, the maker says the W60 Plus runs under 54 dB. At maximum speed with 75 kg, the maker says it reaches up to 60 dB. At maximum speed with no load, the maker says it reaches up to 55 dB.
The 75 kg test load is about 165 pounds (75 × 2.2046 = 165.3). That is half of the 330 pound limit that the press release and Yanko Design give. The W60 Plus also has a one-touch mute, but the muted noise level is not published here; check the listing or ask MERACH.
Coral Eby described the W60 Plus as “really quite” even when she walked fast on the incline. She said it was quiet enough for client calls. She tested it at home on a rug and on hardwood. Her review gave no dB figures, so her account cannot be lined up against MERACH’s numbers on one scale. It is an impression from one reviewer.
Incline Without Handrails
The W60 Plus has 12 automatic incline levels. The sources do not state what each level equals in percent. The reviewer described one setting as “12% incline,” and wrote that it “is going to absolutely get your glutes burning.”
The review says the W60 Plus has no handrails. In the reviewer’s account, that means the walker’s core has to be solid at steep settings. She does not think 12% should be used by everyone.
Pick the level by how steady you stay on the belt, since there is no handrail to lean on. If you need a rail to steady yourself, the listed features do not include one.
Price and Weight Limit: Where Sources Disagree
Yanko Design reports the maker lists the W60 Plus at $499.99, with a sale price listed at $329.99 and a checkout price listed at $264.00 after the coupon code MERACHW60, which includes free shipping, at the time of writing. Its banner shows a different figure from that checkout price. Run to the Finish reports the Amazon list price, a sale price with free shipping, and a 30-day home trial. Yanko Design says optional accident protection is sold as an add-on.
Reported prices run from $264 with a coupon to $499.99 at full list price, as listed by the maker. Prices move with sales and coupons, so every figure here is a snapshot.
Yanko Design reports that the W60 Plus launched on MERACH’s website on May 26, 2026, in grey. Yanko Design reports that MERACH made its first major trade show appearance at IFA 2026.
The weight limit is the second disagreement. The press release and Yanko Design give 330 pounds. Run to the Finish lists 400 pounds. The two figures differ by 70 pounds (400 minus 330). The sources do not say which limit MERACH’s listing uses today. Confirm the limit on the MERACH listing before you buy, and keep a margin under whichever figure the listing shows. The walking pad weight limit guide covers that question for walking pads in general.
Who Should Skip It
The sources point to five groups who should look elsewhere.
- People who want to run for long sessions. The reviewer wrote that the machine is “definitely not designed to be a machine you run on for hours.” She said 4.0 mph is “closer to a very fast walk than a light jog.”
- Very tall walkers who plan to run. The reviewer said the machine might feel short for very tall people trying to run.
- Anyone who needs a handrail. The review says there are no handrails, so the walker’s core must be solid at steep settings.
- Flat-only walkers. The verdict depends on incline use. For flat walking, a flat pad from the best walking pad guide fits the job. The incline walking pad guide covers the incline category if you are still deciding whether incline matters to you.
- Walkers whose weight sits near 330 pounds. The press release and Yanko Design give 330 pounds, so do not count on the 400 pound figure from Run to the Finish.
The reviewer said the machine suits walking, under-desk use, and casual walk and run sessions. Those are the uses the sources support.
What Would Change This Verdict
- If you stop using the incline, a flat pad covers your walking, and the verdict flips.
- If the weight limit on the listing you buy from sits below your body weight plus the margin you keep, the W60 Plus is out regardless of incline.
- If MERACH publishes the SGS test list, pass criteria, and full results, the SGS section would need revisiting.
- If independent noise or motor measurements are published, the noise and motor sections would need revisiting.
