UREVO 2 in 1 Folding Treadmill Review

Exercise Quality

The UREVO is a great machine if you use it for its intended purpose: keeping you moving while you work. If you try to use it like a traditional gym treadmill, you'll likely find the smaller deck and limited speed frustrating.

As its name implies, the UREVO functions as a hybrid machine. For the “desk jockey,” the Walk Mode provides a quiet, low-profile stroll. For those wanting more intensity, the Run Mode offers enough speed for a legitimate workout.

However, there is a distinct “breaking point” in comfort. At a light jog, the treadmill feels great. But as we pushed toward the 7.6 mph limit, the compact deck dimensions became apparent. At speeds above 6.5 mph, your stride naturally wants to lengthen beyond what the 42.5" surface allows. It's a solid platform for speed-walking and light jogging, but it demands a disciplined, focused stride if you plan on pushing the pace.

The user experience on the UREVO is about as simple as it gets. Without workout programs or “smart” features, the only interaction you'll have is with the front-mounted LCD and the included remote. The display provides basic feedback on your progress, while the remote handles all the heavy lifting for speed adjustments.

However, the choice of an Infrared (IR) remote is a slight drawback for under-desk users. Because it requires a clear line of sight to the machine, you can't simply press a button while the remote is sitting on your work surface or hidden in a pocket. To change your pace, you'll need to physically point the remote at the treadmill hood, which may briefly interrupt your workflow compared to machines using Radio Frequency (RF) remotes.

Companion App/Connectivity

You won't find any Bluetooth syncing or high-tech screens on this treadmill, which fits its identity as a functional office tool. Instead of digital connectivity, UREVO provides a physical 192mm notch on the handrail to act as a device shelf.

This is a great addition for those who like to watch videos or listen to music while jogging. While it provides a secure fit for every phone we tested, those who prefer to use a tablet for their workout entertainment should be aware that the slot is not wide enough to hold an iPad mini.

User Interface/Ease of Use

The UREVO keeps things simple—perhaps a bit too simple for those used to high-tech consoles. The front-facing display is clear and legible, tracking your progress without unnecessary clutter. To keep your workspace tidy, UREVO included a remote-control slot in the treadmill's base. It's a handy feature for storage, though users should keep in mind that the remote doesn't charge while docked; it's simply a place to keep it secure when you aren't logging miles.

If you're tired of fitness gear that requires a constant Wifi connection, you'll appreciate the UREVO's minimalist approach. To start your walk, you only need the remote—one press of the power button gets the belt moving, and a few clicks of the speed buttons set your pace. Because there is nothing to “fuss with” and no software to update, it is one of the most user-friendly treadmills we've tested. It does exactly what it's supposed to do, exactly when you need it to.

  engage the UREVO's running capabilities, raise the handrail to its upright position. This action shifts the primary controls to the handrail interface, providing a more stable way to adjust your speed while jogging.

In this mode, you have access to power and speed buttons, including two convenient shortcuts that set the pace immediately to 3 or 6 mph. Because the handheld remote is designed for low-impact walking, it will not function at speeds higher than 3.8 mph, ensuring that you keep your hands near the safety rail during faster exercise.

Features

Foldability and ease of storage are the primary draws of the UREVO treadmill. It is remarkably easy to move; just tilt it onto its wheels and roll it where you need it. We were also impressed by the small side-rail port designed for oiling the belt. This is a feature we wish more manufacturers would adopt, as it streamlines the most difficult part of treadmill upkeep. For a machine this size, the 265 lb weight capacity is a significant value add, ensuring it feels stable even during more intense sessions.

The folding handrail is the “secret sauce” of this model, making it one of the most storage-friendly treadmills we've tested. Whether you need to slide it under a couch or stand it lengthwise in a closet, the UREVO fits seamlessly into small living spaces. While we were slightly disappointed that the device holder doesn't fit a tablet, the machine's overall performance and clever design more than make up for it. It is a top-tier choice for anyone who needs a capable treadmill without taking over their room.

Ease of Assembly

It's hard to imagine the setup of this unit being any easier; it really involves just pulling it out of the box and plugging it in. Once you open it, a couple of minutes of removing the packaging and unraveling the cord make it ready to operate. We had ours operating less than 10 minutes after it was delivered.

Although it's a fairly lightweight treadmill, the box is still heavy and unruly. Our box weighed 67 lbs and wasn't exactly easy to move. The setup was significantly easier than other treadmills we've tested.

Storability

One of our favorite features of the UREVO is its ease of storage. This model's thin profile and collpasible handle make it a compelling option for those tight on space.

he UREVO excels in environments where space is at a premium. Measuring 54.5" x 26" and only 4.9" high when flat, it is thin enough to be stowed under a bed or couch with ease. When you raise the handrail for a run, the footprint remains compact, actually shortening the length to 52.5".

At just 58.4 lbs, the machine is impressively light. While the integrated front wheels allow you to roll it into place, the treadmill is light enough that the wheels aren't always necessary for quick adjustments. It's an ideal solution for anyone needing a “disappearing” workout station.

Noise Level

The UREVO doesn't make much noise; it's quieter than most other treadmills we've tested. Noise may be an important consideration for those wanting to use it beneath the desk discreetly. At 1 mph, the machine generates 44 dB without a user and 49 dB when walking on it. At 4.5 mph, the treadmill generates 57 dB and 61 dB with a jogger. At 7.5 mph, we measured 64 dB and 67 dB while running on its surface.

Should You Buy the UREVO 2 in 1 Folding Treadmill?

The UREVO is a practical solution for those who want to stay active without cluttering their home. It isn't a replacement for a gym-grade treadmill, but for walking and light jogging, it is remarkably effective and easy to manage. With its ultra-thin profile and “plug-and-play” simplicity, it thrives in a home office environment. If your goal is to burn calories while you work or to have a machine that disappears under a couch when you're finished, the UREVO offers a compelling blend of affordability and utility.

What Other Treadmills Should You Consider?

If you need a treadmill for higher-intensity workouts, the Echelon Stride is a good choice. It has a much larger running surface and app connectivity and is better suited for serious training. It also features a fold-down handrail, and while not as thin as the UREVO, it can be stored under most beds or couches. Like many other connected fitness machines with app connectivity, they come with a monthly fee. If you want to spend a little less and don't mind sacrificing a bit of belt length, check out the Goplus SuperFit 2 in 1 Folding Treadmill.
