EGOFIT Walker Plus-M1T: problems, parts and running costs

Checked: 2026-10-24

Summary

EGOFIT Walker Plus-M1T owners and reviewers report customer-service and return difficulties, a short 34 in (87 cm) deck that can force tall users to shorten their stride, and carpet-overheating risk unless a hard mat is used. Running costs are low and subscription-free: 100% silicone lubricant every 3-4 months or 50 hours, plus electricity and optional accessories. At EGOFIT’s $459 new / $329 refurbished pricing it is worth it only if the folding handrail and fixed 5% incline are wanted.

Common problems and fixes

Short deck for tall users — the 34 in (87 cm) belt can force tall users to shorten their stride; the machine is for walking only at up to 3.73 mph (6 km/h). [6][9]
Carpet overheating and instability — carpeted use requires a hard treadmill mat to prevent motor overheating and instability on the incline. [9]
Fixed, non-adjustable incline — the 5% incline cannot be turned off or adjusted, so the unit is never flat. [6]
Walking only, no jogging — top speed 3.11 mph (5 km/h) folded and 3.73 mph (6 km/h) with handrail open; not for running. [1][3][9]

Parts and consumables

Hard treadmill mat — recommended for carpeted use to prevent overheating and instability. [9]
Replacement remote control — sold by the manufacturer. [1][3]
Safety key — included with the M1T only; replacement sold by the manufacturer. [3]
Desktop console — optional accessory sold by the manufacturer. [1][3]

Yearly running cost

No dollar figure can be stated from the available data: lubricant is needed 3-4 times per year (every 3-4 months or 50 hours), plus electricity (not quantified) and optional accessories (mat, console, remote, safety key). There is no subscription or consumable lock-in. [1][3][9]

When it is a good buy

EGOFIT lists the M1T at $459 new and $329 refurbished, and the related M1 at $399 new and $299 refurbished (EGOFIT store, 2026-10). Buyers who need jogging, adjustable incline, or a longer belt should look elsewhere; the EGOFIT ComfortDeck-M2 (a different deck and motor, tested by CNET) is an alternative when a smoother, cushioned belt matters.
