The energy consumption of a walking pad, also known as a treadmill desk or under-desk treadmill, typically varies depending on the model and usage intensity. However, on average, a walking pad usually consumes between 0.3 kWh to 0.75 kWh per hour. Here’s a breakdown:
- High-Intensity Use (e.g., faster walking or jogging): Around 0.65 to 0.75 kWh per hour.
- Low-Intensity Use (e.g., slow walking): Around 0.3 to 0.5 kWh per hour.
- Moderate-Intensity Use: Around 0.5 to 0.65 kWh per hour.
Depending on daily usage and local electricity prices the annual cost can be hundreds of dollars. Here’s a calculator so you can estimate the yearly costs for different scenarios.
