For most people, the Merach NovaWalk W50 is the better walking pad. It has a steeper 12% incline, a longer and wider belt, and a brushless motor with a published continuous rating, for about $300. The UREVO SpaceWalk 5L is the better buy if you want to spend less or move the pad often. It costs about $270, weighs about 18 pounds less, and has the same 400-pound rating.
Those two pads are each brand’s best value, so this comparison starts with them and then covers the rest of both lineups.

Better for most people
Merach NovaWalk W50
A brushless walking pad with a 12% motorized incline, a 400 lb rating, and a 41.3-inch belt.
Cheaper and lighter
UREVO SpaceWalk 5L
A 6.1-inch walking pad with a brushless motor, 9% auto incline, and 400 lb rating for about $270.
Where Merach Wins
- Incline. The W50 climbs to 12%; the SpaceWalk 5L stops at 9%. A steeper grade lets you work harder at a slow desk speed.
- Belt. The W50’s belt is about 2 inches longer and 0.7 inch wider. That matters if you are tall or heavy.
- Motor ratings. Merach publishes a continuous rating of 1.25 HP and lists the W50 for up to 10 hours of continuous use. UREVO gives only a 2.5 HP figure for the 5L.
- Noise. Merach rates the W50 under 40 dB. UREVO doesn’t publish a number for the 5L.
- Upkeep. The W50’s belt is self-lubricating. UREVO pads need silicone lubricant on a schedule.
- Warranty. Merach adds a second year when you register. UREVO adds 180 days.
Where UREVO Wins
- Price. The SpaceWalk 5L costs about $30 less, and UREVO discounts often.
- Weight. At 50.7 pounds, the 5L is much easier to roll away than the 68-pound W50.
- Range. UREVO makes a pad for every budget, from the $135 SpaceWalk E1L to 2-in-1 treadmills with handrails and desks. Merach doesn’t sell a $135 flat pad or a treadmill with a built-in desk.
- App. UREVO’s app adds guided workouts and virtual routes.
One caution on UREVO’s weight rating: UREVO’s own site rates the SpaceWalk 5L for 400 pounds, while its Amazon listing says 300. Buy from UREVO if the rating matters to you.

UREVO vs. Merach FAQ
Is UREVO or Merach better?
Merach’s NovaWalk W50 is the better single pad: steeper incline, bigger belt, and a continuous motor rating for about $300. UREVO is the better brand if you want a cheaper pad, a lighter one, or a 2-in-1 with a handrail.
Which is quieter, UREVO or Merach?
Merach rates the NovaWalk W50 under 40 dB, and UREVO publishes no figure for the SpaceWalk 5L. UREVO’s CyberPad models are rated at about 35 dB, the lowest of either brand.
Which has the better warranty?
Merach. Its pads carry one year, extended to two with registration, and the UltraWalk W60 comes with two years. UREVO gives one year plus 180 days when you register the pad in its app.
Which is better for heavy people?
Both top pads are rated for 400 pounds. The Merach W50 has the larger belt and a published continuous motor rating, so it is the better choice for long walks at higher weights.
Is the Merach W50 worth $30 more than the UREVO SpaceWalk 5L?
Yes, if the pad will stay in one place. You get 3% more incline, a larger belt, a self-lubricating belt, and a longer warranty. If you need to move it daily, the lighter 5L is easier to live with.
