DeerRun X20 Review

DeerRun describes the X20 as a foldable treadmill for serious home running, incline training, jogging and walking. That puts it in a different category from the low-profile walking pads that make up most of Walking Counts, and from DeerRun's own compact models such as the Z20. See DeerRun's full range on our DeerRun models page, and our walking pad vs treadmill comparison for how the two formats differ.

DeerRun lists a speed range of 0.6–11.3 mph. That covers walking, jogging and running speeds, which is the main reason the X20 is a treadmill rather than a walking pad — most walking pads on this site top out around 3.8–4 mph.

DeerRun lists a 15% automatic incline. DeerRun's UK FAQ specifies 0–15% across 15 automatic incline levels. DeerRun doesn't describe it as manual. For comparison, the Z10 Pro uses a separate 12% automatic system with 12 levels. Browse more incline options in our best walking pads with incline guide.

DeerRun's UK listing publishes a 130 × 45 cm running belt, approximately 51.2 × 17.7 in. We haven't seen a separate belt figure on DeerRun's US listing, so we use the UK measurement and label it as such. DeerRun publishes no height or stride guidance, so we don't say who the belt fits.

DeerRun's US listing gives an expanded size of 53.94 × 30.43 × 42.83 in. Measure the space you plan to use, including room around the machine, before buying.

DeerRun lists the X20 at 87.83 lb. That's considerably heavier than the walking pads we cover, which matters if you plan to move it or stand it up for storage.

DeerRun lists a 400 lb maximum user weight. See our walking pads with 300 lb+ capacity guide if you'd rather have a walking pad with a high listed limit.

DeerRun's UK listing gives a folded size of 137 × 77.3 × 18.6 cm, approximately 53.9 × 30.4 × 7.3 in. DeerRun's US page separately says the X20 folds to 7.32 inches thin, so the US and UK information agree closely on the folded height. Folding makes it flat rather than short: the folded length is close to the expanded length. See our best foldable walking pads guide for how different folding designs compare.

DeerRun explicitly describes storing the X20 under a sofa, in a closet, or upright against a wall, and moving it on built-in front transport wheels. Whether it fits under your own furniture depends on that furniture's clearance and the folded dimensions above.

DeerRun lists a touch-control LED screen (an "LED Touch Panel"). The information we used doesn't describe a remote control or physical console buttons, so we don't claim either.

DeerRun lists PitPat app connectivity. DeerRun advertises real-time workout data, structured or guided training, 3D virtual races, challenges, social and community features, and rewards. These are DeerRun's and PitPat's features and marketing claims; Walking Counts hasn't tested or evaluated them.

DeerRun describes the X20 as using a brushless motor. Horsepower isn't listed in the information we used.

DeerRun's UK listing claims a noise level of ≤45 dB, but it doesn't publish the test conditions, so we don't use that figure to predict how loud the X20 will be in a particular home.

DeerRun's UK FAQ says basic setup is required, that the X20 arrives 90% pre-assembled, and that tools and instructions are included.

DeerRun includes a Safety Lock with the X20. The information we used doesn't describe how it works or any other safety features, so we don't add details beyond that.

DeerRun's US listing lists these box contents:

• Main treadmill
• Phone/tablet stand
• Safety Lock
• 5.9 ft power cord
• Oil
• L-type 6 mm hex socket
• Two cylindrical bolts
• Manual
• Quick & Easy Guide card

Package size: 58.62 × 32.48 × 7.95 in.

• People who want running speeds (up to 11.3 mph) at home
• People who want steep automatic incline (0–15%)
• Users who need a listed limit of up to 400 lb
• Homes with room for a full-size treadmill, plus a place to store it folded

• Under-desk walkers: see our under-desk guide.
• Anyone who wants a handle on a compact pad: see our walking pads with handles guide.
• People short on space or who'll move it often: a compact walking pad such as the Z20 is lighter and smaller.

DeerRun's marketing includes claims that are manufacturer promotion rather than independent findings. We don't repeat these as fact: calorie- or fat-burning improvements, stronger glutes or legs, reduced joint impact, "no wobble", commercial-grade build, that it won't disturb other people, that it suits every flat or apartment, durability or lifespan, other health claims, "silent motor" wording, and PitPat cash or rewards as guaranteed benefits.

We compiled this review from DeerRun's US and UK product listings and FAQs, and compared it with figures already published on Walking Counts. We have not physically tested the X20 and haven't independently verified DeerRun's specifications. Read more about how we review products.
