Can I run on the DeerRun A6 Plus?

Only up to 7.5 mph, and the belt is short. It suits jogging. For steady running at 8 mph or faster, get the Horizon 7.0 AT.

Is the Horizon 7.0 AT worth the extra money?

Yes if you run or follow classes. The 12 mph motor, 60-inch deck, QuickDial controls and Peloton and Zwift pairing are features the $249 DeerRun does not have.

Which is better for a small apartment?

The DeerRun. It folds flat, weighs 54.5 lb and fits under a bed. The Horizon folds upright but is a full-size treadmill.

Which handles heavier users?

The Horizon, at 325 lb versus 300 lb for the DeerRun. The gap is small, but the Horizon's frame is built for running loads.

Does the DeerRun need an app?

Buyers report having to download the PitPat app to unlock it, and the app asks for an account and shows pop-up ads. The Horizon works from its console without an app.

The Horizon is the safer bet for daily running because of its stronger motor and higher weight rating. The DeerRun is built for walking and light jogging.
