If you are looking for an affordable walking treadmill to add to your home office, the Bluefin Fitness Task 2.0 Treadmill is the perfect choice. It's affordable, super easy to install, and comes with convenient handlebars that make running the treadmill a little safer than other under-desk treadmills. When paired with the best standing desks, you can easily get a cardio workout while you work, eliminating hours of sitting while telecommuting. [But how does it compare to other under-desk treadmills, and what makes it the best treadmill for running indoors? I walked and trained on the Bluefin Fitness Task 2.0 Treadmill for a week. For more information, read the Bluefin Fitness Task 2.0 Treadmill review below.

The Bluefin Fitness Task 2.0 treadmill retails for about $400/£300, which is one of the more affordable under-desk treadmills on the market. This is a super-affordable walking treadmill, and you don't have to invest in any other gimmicks to get it up and running. That said, if you plan to do more strenuous workouts on the treadmill, we recommend placing it on your best yoga or workout mat to protect the carpet from sweat.

The Bluefin Fitness Task 2.0 is ready to use right out of the box. Like all under-desk treadmills, it has casters on the top, making it easy to roll it under the desk when in use. [There is an LCD screen at the top of the treadmill that displays pace, calories, distance walked, and time, and you can connect the treadmill to your smartphone via Bluetooth to use the Kinomap app or listen to music from the treadmill through the built-in speakers. The handlebars can be raised and there is also a tablet holder so you can watch Netflix or follow a walking class with a third-party app.

The treadmill can be controlled with a remote control attached to a wristband that can be worn while walking or with a smartphone app. There are also six preset programs available, but they are all very similar and a bit confusing. Nevertheless, it is a convenient way to mix things up if you are easily bored and have the patience to work through the various presets.

The treadmill can be used with the handles up or down. Like a theme park ride, the handlebars snap into place, making it safe to move fast on the treadmill. That said, we noticed during our testing that the belt width of the treadmill is quite narrow, but with the handlebars up, this belt width seemed even narrower because the space to move on the treadmill is shorter. It is also worth noting that the maximum speed of this treadmill is 8 km/h, a pace of about 12 minutes per mile.

During testing, the Bluefin treadmill proved to be easy to use and thin enough to store when not in use. Connecting the treadmill to the Kinomap app was easy, although the app itself is not particularly attractive. Nevertheless, it is easy to view basic metrics and participate in various challenges.

The treadmill itself ran smoothly and was relatively quiet. It was easy to start and stop the treadmill from the remote control and easy to pause the treadmill when taking a short break to drink water. The remote control makes it easy to start and stop the treadmill and pause it when taking a quick break for a drink of water. Our tester was 170 cm tall and tripped over the side panel once or twice when not concentrating on walking. Also, the tablet holder seems to be at a somewhat odd angle, almost flat, so if you want to see the entire screen you have to peer over the top of the handlebars.

This is an affordable under-desk treadmill for those who prefer to work while walking. Unlike other walking treadmills, it is not foldable, making it ideal for those who have space to store it under a bed or couch. The wrist-operated remote control is a nice touch, and the treadmill is adequate for home office use.

That said, taller users may struggle with the smaller belt and may want to look at the LifeSpan TR1200-DT3 GlowUp treadmill, which has a wider, longer walking surface. Also, for most runners, it is better to invest in a treadmill that is best suited for running.

Overall, if you are willing to stand and walk for some of your meetings without spending hundreds of dollars and have the space to store this, it is a good option for the price.
