Verdict: the Y1 is the cheapest way to get automatic incline (0–12% from the remote) at Home Fitness Code Ireland: €169.99 with free delivery. You get 1–10 km/h, a 98 × 40 cm deck and a 145 kg limit. The trade-offs are a brushed motor (claimed under 50 dB), 26 kg weight and no handrail option. For €30 more, the Y3 is brushless, quieter and lighter.

What's good

  • Real incline for less. 12% is a steep hill walk, and you change it from the remote without stopping, unlike the fixed fold-out 5% on the Z3, C1 and T7.
  • Roomy deck. 98 × 40 cm is the largest walking surface among the walking pads here.
  • Heavier users. Rated to 145 kg, against 120 kg on the budget pads.

What's less good

  • Noise. The retailer's own comparison lists the Y1 at under 50 dB, against under 35 dB for the brushless Y3.
  • Bulk. At 26 kg it's the heaviest walking pad here. Plan where it'll live.
  • Name confusion. The product URL says "0-9" incline but the title, specs and FAQ all say 0–12%.
  • Mixed feedback. The retailer's page shows customer reviews, including a negative one about the incline. Read them before buying.
