Is the Q5 Pro good for running or only walking?

It handles walking and jogging well. For fast or long runs the deck feels short and the folding frame flexes more than a fixed treadmill, so serious runners should look at a non-folding model.

How does the auto incline work?

The deck raises to as much as 15% incline on its own, so you can change the grade during a workout without stepping off. That is the feature most foldable rivals lack.

Is the brushless motor worth it?

A brushless motor has fewer wearing parts and typically runs quieter and lasts longer than the brushed motors common on budget treadmills. Owners confirm it is quiet in use.

How much space does it need when folded?

It folds to stand upright, which frees most of the floor it uses when open. Leave clearance behind it for the folded deck and check the folded height against your ceiling or closet.
