Merach T25 quick verdict
The Merach T25 is a compact walking treadmill with a 12% automatic incline, 6.5 km/h (4 mph) top speed and broad app support. Automatic incline is quite rare on walking pads, so it is the clearest reason to choose this model if you want harder walking without increasing speed.
The 105 cm (41.3 in) belt is shorter than I prefer for walking, and the 1.25 CHP motor makes me cautious about pairing the very high 181 kg (28 st 7 lb) user limit with long, frequent sessions for a heavier walker.

I judge the T25 in the context of the job it is designed to do – incline walking in a compact format rather than regular running. I focused on how the main features affect real buying decisions rather than treating every line of the specification as equally important.
- Walking suitability – belt length and width, speed, controls and whether the machine fits the way you plan to accumulate steps.
- Build and practicality – machine weight, user capacity, frame type, dimensions, storage and how realistic it is to place and move at home.
- Technology and ownership – console or controls, app choice, warranty and recurring themes in model-specific customer feedback.
For this review I focused on walking area, motor, automatic incline, app support, user limit and machine weight. I use the current UK specification as the starting point and focus on how the main features affect real buying decisions. I do not assume an overseas version is identical to the model sold here.
Is this treadmill right for me?
Enter a few details and I will check them against the product information for this treadmill. Treat the result as a buying aid rather than a manufacturer guarantee.
Who is the Merach T25 best for?
The T25 is a good fit if automatic incline is the main feature you want from a compact walking treadmill.
If you are tall, have a long stride or are a heavier walker planning long daily sessions, I would look at larger walking treadmills with more motor capacity.
What Stands Out
Makes slow walking much harder – You can make walking much harder without increasing speed or stopping to adjust a manual incline.
Broad app support – Merach, Kinomap, Zwift and Apple Health give you more choice than one closed platform.
Two-year warranty – The frame, motor, parts and wear parts have 24 months of cover, which is better than the one-year warranty on many compact walking pads.
Things to consider
Taller users may want more walking length – If you are tall or use a long walking stride, I would prefer something closer to 120 cm (47.2 in).
High user limit needs some caution – The frame may support the stated weight, but I would be cautious about long daily sessions for a very heavy walker.
Frequent moving takes some effort – The transport wheels help, but you still need to lift and position one end when moving it.
Walking-focused top speed – The 6.5 km/h (4 mph) limit makes the T25 an incline-walking machine rather than a jogging treadmill.
A CLOSER LOOK
How the Merach T25 performs in key areas
RUNNING COMFORT
Walking area
The 42 cm (16.5 in) width is fine for a compact walking treadmill, but the 105 cm (41.3 in) belt length is short. If you have a long walking stride, I would measure out 105 cm (41.3 in) before buying.
BUILD & CAPACITY
Build and user weight
Merach gives the T25 a 181 kg (28 st 7 lb) maximum user weight and reinforced steel frame. I would treat that as a frame-capacity figure, not proof that the motor suits every heavy user for long daily sessions.
PERFORMANCE
Motor and speed
The 1.25 CHP motor and 6.5 km/h (4 mph) top speed fit the T25’s walking-focused use. If you are a very heavy walker or plan long daily sessions, I would look for more motor power.
HILL CLIMB TRAINING
Automatic incline
The automatic incline reaches 12% and is adjusted from the remote. That gives you a simple way to make walking harder without increasing speed. It is the T25’s main way of adding training intensity: you can keep walking speed comfortable and use gradient to increase the effort.
SPACE & STORAGE
Moving and storage
The T25 does not fold, but its assembled size is about 127.5 x 56.5 x 15.5 cm (50.2 x 22.2 x 6.1 in). At 15.5 cm (6.1 in) high it should fit under some beds or sofas, but measure the clearance first. At 30.5 kg (67 lb), the transport wheels help, although you still need to lift one end to move it.
CONNECTED TRAINING
Apps and connectivity
The Merach app is Merach’s own companion app for compatible fitness equipment. Kinomap, Zwift, Apple Health and Fanton Fite add third-party options.
Check the exact integration if you want an app to control speed or incline rather than simply record data. My smart treadmill guide explains the difference.
EVERYDAY USE
Display and controls
The LED display shows speed, time, distance, calories and incline, while the remote handles speed and gradient changes. That is a practical setup for under-desk use. Keeping the controls on the remote also makes sense when the machine is partly under a desk, because you do not need to reach a console at the front.
PEACE OF MIND
Warranty and after-sales cover
Merach gives 24 months of cover on the frame, motor, parts and wear parts, with decorative parts covered for 90 days. The warranty is for private use.
Two years on the main working parts is good for a compact walking treadmill.
SPACE CHECK
Merach T25 dimensions and space required
The T25 is designed to reduce its storage footprint, but I would still check the exact folded or stored dimensions against the space where you intend to keep it.
| Dimensions in use | 127.5 x 56.5 x 15.5 cm (50.2 x 22.2 x 6.1 in) |
| Running area | 105 x 42 cm (41.3 x 16.5 in) |
| Frame type | Walking Pad |
| Maximum user weight | 181 kg (28 st 7 lb) |
| Machine weight | 30.5 kg (67 lb) |
Although this treadmill has transport wheels, you still need to be comfortable lifting or tilting part of it to get it onto the wheels before you can move it.

| Maximum speed | 6.50 km/h (4.0 mph) | |||
| Incline | 12% | |||

| Assembled dimensions | 127.5 x 56.5 x 15.5 cm (50.2 x 22.2 x 6.1 in) |
The table is there to make the differences easier to scan. I would still judge each treadmill in the context of the training it is designed for rather than treating one higher figure as automatically better.
Merach T25 final verdict
The Merach T25 is most interesting because of its 12% automatic incline. That gives you a good way to make walking harder without relying on more speed.
The 105 cm (41.3 in) belt is shorter than I prefer, and the 1.25 CHP motor makes me cautious about long sessions for a very heavy walker despite the 181 kg (28 st 7 lb) stated user limit.
App support is a strength, and the two-year warranty is better than the one-year cover on many compact walking pads.
If incline walking is the priority and the shorter belt suits your stride, the T25 works well. If you want more walking space or more motor capacity, I would look elsewhere.

Merach T25 FAQ
Does the Merach T25 have automatic incline?
Yes. The incline adjusts automatically from 1% to 12% using the remote. You do not have to stop and manually change the deck position.
Is the Merach T25 belt long enough for walking?
The belt is 105 cm (41.3 in) long. Shorter users and people with a short stride may be comfortable, but I generally prefer around 120 cm (47.2 in) for walking because it gives you more room for a natural walking gait.
What motor does the Merach T25 use?
Merach gives a 3.5 HP peak figure and a 1.25 CHP brushless motor. For heavier users or long daily sessions, I would judge the machine around the 1.25 CHP motor rather than the larger peak figure.
What is the Merach app?
The Merach app is Merach’s own companion app for compatible fitness equipment. The T25 also supports third-party options including Kinomap, Zwift and Apple Health. Check the exact level of speed or incline control offered by each app.
What warranty does the Merach T25 have?
The warranty covers 24 months on the frame, motor, parts and wear parts, with decorative parts covered for 90 days. It is specified for private use.
