More Details on Our Top Picks
NEWBULIG Under-Desk Walking Pad Treadmill with Remote Control and LED Display, Black and Silver
This model excels as a versatile, space-efficient under-desk treadmill that combines quiet operation with easy storage. Its quiet motor under 45 dB makes it suitable for shared environments, and the foldable design with transport wheels simplifies storage in small apartments or offices. Unlike larger options such as the Foldable Walking Pad Treadmill with Handle Bar, it prioritizes a low-profile profile and minimal setup, though it leaves questions about maximum speed and user weight limits. Its LED display provides essential metrics, making it ideal for light daily activity. However, the absence of specified max speed or weight capacity means it’s better suited for light walkers rather than more intense users.
Pros:- Quiet operation under 45 dB supports use in shared spaces
- Compact, foldable design for easy storage and transport
- LED display tracks time, speed, distance, and calories
- Can be used with handles or as an under-desk walking pad
Cons:- Lack of specified maximum speed and weight capacity raises questions about suitability for heavier or more active users
- No advanced workout features or pre-programmed routines
Best for: Individuals seeking a silent, space-saving treadmill for light walking or office use
Not ideal for: Heavy users or runners who need higher speeds or greater weight support, due to limited specs
- Motor noise:Under 45 dB
- Display:LED; shows time, speed, distance, and calories
- Belt:Multi-layer anti-slip with shock absorption
- Storage:Foldable; fits under beds, sofas, or desks
- Transport:Built-in wheels
- Assembly:No assembly required
Our verdict“This treadmill is ideal for those needing a quiet, space-efficient option for light activity around the home or office.”
Foldable Walking Pad Treadmill with Handle Bar
This treadmill supports a broader range of activity, supporting walking, jogging, and light running, making it a flexible choice for active users. Its 440-watt motor and 90 × 38 cm running area cater to a more dynamic workout, unlike the more limited speed range of the NEWBULIG model. The removable handrails allow transition from a stable treadmill to an under-desk walking pad, though they require unscrewing to flatten for desk use, which can be inconvenient. Its maximum speed of 4 MPH fits casual jogging but not faster running. This model is best for users who want a multipurpose treadmill with the ability to support different activity levels but are okay with some setup hassle for handle removal.
Pros:- Supports walking, jogging, and running with a 4 MPH top speed
- Removable handle bars for transition between treadmill and under-desk walking
- Foldable with wheels for easy storage and movement
- LED display and remote control for workout management
Cons:- Removable handles require unscrewing, which adds setup time
- Maximum speed may be insufficient for serious runners
Best for: Active individuals who want a treadmill for walking, jogging, and occasional running, with flexibility for under-desk use
Not ideal for: Users needing a high-speed treadmill or minimal setup, as removing handles is a minor inconvenience
- Speed modes:Walking: 0.6–1.2 MPH; jogging: 1.9–2.5 MPH; running: 3.1–4 MPH
- Maximum user weight:264 lb
- Motor power:440 W
- Running area:90 × 38 cm
- Folded dimensions:104 × 48.7 × 10.5 cm
- Display:LED
Our verdict“This treadmill offers a versatile solution for those seeking a multi-activity machine that adapts to different exercise intensities.”
Foldable Walking Pad Treadmill with Adjustable Incline and Handles
This model stands out for its manual incline and adjustable speed range, making it suitable for users wanting a more challenging walk. The 4-degree incline adds variety to routines, unlike the flat-surface models like the NEWBULIG. Its quiet motor ensures minimal disturbance, and the LED display keeps track of key metrics. However, with a top speed of 3.8 mph, it remains limited to walking and slow jogging, which could be restrictive for more active users. Its manual incline requires adjustment by hand, so it isn’t suited for users wanting quick changes mid-workout. This pick is ideal for those who value incline training but don’t need high speeds.
Pros:- Manual incline up to 4 degrees for variety
- Quiet operation at 45 dB
- Foldable and space-saving design
- LED display tracks essential metrics
Cons:- Maximum speed of 3.8 mph limits use to walking or slow jogging
- Manual incline adjustment can be inconvenient during workouts
Best for: Users interested in incline walking and moderate speed training in a compact form
Not ideal for: Runners or those seeking high-speed workouts, due to speed limitations
- Maximum speed:3.8 mph
- Speed range:0.6–3.8 mph
- Incline:4-degree manual
- Maximum horsepower:2.5 hp
- Display:LED
- Motor noise:45 dB
Our verdict“This treadmill suits those who prefer incline walking and moderate speeds in a space-conscious package.”
Walking Pad Treadmill for Home – Compact Under Desk Mini Treadmill with Remote
This lightweight treadmill prioritizes portability and quiet operation, supporting speeds up to 4 mph, making it suitable for small spaces like apartments or shared offices. Its 2.5 HP motor delivers smooth, quiet performance, similar to the NEWBULIG but with a slightly higher top speed. The compact size and lightweight design, at just 36.4 pounds, make it easy to store under furniture or carry between rooms. It lacks advanced features or extensive workout programs, focusing instead on straightforward walking. While the small 16-inch width may not suit taller or wider users comfortably, this treadmill excels for users who prioritize ease of use and portability over extensive features.
Pros:- Quiet operation suitable for home or office environments
- Lightweight and easy to move or store
- Includes remote control and LED display for tracking
- Supports speeds up to 4 mph
Cons:- Small running surface may not fit taller or wider users comfortably

Best for: Users needing a lightweight, space-efficient treadmill for walking in small apartments or offices
Not ideal for: High-performance runners or those with higher weight capacities, due to its small footprint and limited speed
- Maximum Speed:4 miles per hour

- Maximum Weight Support:264 lbs
- Item Dimensions:42.91″D x 19.68″W x 4.33″H

3-in-1 Walking Pad Under Desk Treadmill for Home Office Portable
This treadmill offers a 3-in-1 design with a focus on space efficiency and safety features, supporting a maximum speed of 5 km/h (about 3.1 mph). Its shock-absorbing surface provides comfort for extended walking sessions. While the maximum speed is lower than some other models like the Foldable Walking Pad, its safety lock and smart controls make it a reliable choice for casual use. Its weight capacity of 198 lbs may restrict heavier users, but the compact foldable design makes it ideal for small home or office settings. This model is best for users prioritizing safety, portability, and basic tracking over high-speed workouts or incline options.
Pros:- Compact, space-saving design suitable for small areas
- Supports real-time tracking of workout metrics

Our verdict“This treadmill fits users looking for a compact, safe walking solution with basic tracking features for light activity at home or in the office.”
Terluxra Foldable Walking Pad Treadmill with Handle Bar
This model stands out for its flexibility—supporting walking, jogging, and running with a quiet 2.0 HP motor, making it a versatile choice compared to the more specialized Walking Pad Treadmill with 12% Auto Incline. Its foldable design and shock-absorbing belt help reduce noise and impact, ideal for multi-purpose spaces. However, the maximum speed caps at 4 MPH, limiting higher-intensity workouts. Compared to the Wilpkracy model, it offers a more cushioned experience but may be less stable for heavier users. Its remote control and LED display make tracking straightforward, but it’s less feature-rich than options with incline or app integration. This treadmill suits users seeking a quiet, multi-activity machine that can be stored easily, but those wanting higher speeds or incline features may find it limiting.
Pros:- Supports walking, jogging, and running at a quiet noise level
- Foldable design for easy storage
- Shock-absorbing belt reduces impact and noise
Cons:- Limited maximum speed of 4 MPH restricts running intensity
- No incline feature to vary workout difficulty
Best for: Home exercisers who want a quiet, multi-use treadmill that folds for storage
Not ideal for: Runners or users who need higher speeds or incline levels for intense workouts
- Motor:2.0 HP
- Speed range:0.6–4 MPH
- Display:LED; tracks speed, distance, time, and calories
- Foldable:Yes
- Shock absorption:Yes
- Weight capacity:110 kg (242 lbs)
Our verdict“This treadmill is best for users prioritizing quiet, versatile activity options with easy storage, but not for high-speed running or incline training.”
Walking Pad Treadmill with 12% Auto Incline and Bluetooth
This model excels where others fall short—its 12% auto incline and 2.5 HP motor make it suitable for more intense, varied workouts at home, especially compared to the Wilpkracy model, which has a manual incline. Its Bluetooth speakers and app integration with the FitYo platform support guided sessions and entertainment, but it can be bulky for small spaces and requires a smartphone to access its full features. The high weight capacity of 450 lbs makes it a top choice for users needing durability and strength. While the price isn’t specified, its feature set caters to those who want a more interactive and challenging workout. This treadmill makes the most sense for users looking for a feature-rich, incline-capable machine that can handle heavy users and multiple workout modes.
Pros:- Powerful 2.5 HP motor runs smoothly and quietly
- Supports up to 450 lbs for heavy-duty use
- Includes Bluetooth speakers and app for guided workouts
Cons:- May be too bulky for tight spaces
- Requires smartphone for full app functionality
Best for: Home users seeking a durable, incline-capable treadmill with guided workouts and Bluetooth features
Not ideal for: Small-space dwellers or those on a strict budget who don’t need incline or app features
- Incline:2.5 HP
- Weight capacity:450 lbs
- Bluetooth:Yes
- App:FitYo
- Warranty:3 years
Our verdict“This treadmill is ideal for those wanting a durable, feature-packed machine with incline and connectivity, but less suited for compact spaces or budget-conscious buyers.”
Wilpkracy Walking Pad Treadmill with 5% Incline
Compared with the more powerful and feature-rich options, the Wilpkracy treadmill offers a straightforward walking experience with a 5% manual incline and a 2.5 km/h maximum speed, making it ideal for light walking or rehabilitation. Its stable steel frame and widened side rails enhance safety and quiet operation, perfect for small spaces or users who prioritize stability. The no-assembly design simplifies setup, but the manual incline adjustment means fewer workout variations. It’s less suitable for users seeking jogging or running, especially given its maximum speed. This model fits those who want a simple, stable walking machine that can slip under furniture, but it’s not meant for brisk walking or running workouts.
Pros:- Stable steel frame with widened side rails
- No assembly required for quick setup
- Quiet operation suitable for home or office
Cons:- Limited maximum speed of 6 km/h restricts faster walking or jogging
- Manual incline adjustment reduces workout variability
Best for: Users needing a stable, no-fuss walking treadmill for light activity or rehab in small spaces
Not ideal for: Active runners or those wanting higher speeds and incline for more vigorous workouts
- Maximum incline:5%
- Speed range:1–6 km/h
- Frame:Steel with widened side rails
- Assembly:No
- Weight capacity:120 kg
- Dimensions:111 × 56 × 12 cm
Our verdict“This treadmill is best for users seeking a stable, easy-to-use walking machine with modest incline, but not for higher-intensity activity or running.”
Walking Treadmill Pad with Adjustable 8% Incline
Compared to the Wilpkracy, this treadmill offers a slightly higher maximum incline of 8%, providing more challenge with manual adjustment. Its 2.5 HP motor supports speeds up to 4 mph, making it suitable for light jogging or brisk walking, although it’s limited for running enthusiasts. Its compact size and quiet operation under 45 dB make it ideal for small spaces and noise-sensitive environments. The cushioned belt and alloy steel frame enhance comfort and durability, but manual incline adjustment and a maximum speed of 4 mph could be drawbacks for those seeking vigorous workouts. This treadmill is perfect for users who want a quiet, space-efficient machine with adjustable incline for varied walking routines.
Pros:- Adjustable 8% incline for varied walking challenge
- Quiet operation under 45 dB
- Cushioned, non-slip belt for comfort
Cons:- Limited maximum speed of 4 mph restricts running
- Manual incline adjustment reduces convenience
Best for: Home users looking for a quiet, space-saving treadmill with adjustable incline for walking or light jogging

- Maximum incline:8%
- Motor:2.5 HP
- Maximum speed:4 mph
- Noise level:Under 45 dB
- Belt dimensions:15 x 35.4 in
- Frame material:Alloy steel
Our verdict“This treadmill suits those seeking a quiet, space-efficient machine with adjustable incline for comfortable walking and light jogging, but isn’t suitable for vigorous running.”
Compact Under-Desk Walking Pad Treadmill with Remote
This pick emphasizes portability and ease of use, with a 2.5 HP motor and speeds from 1 to 6 km/h, exceeding the speed limit of many similar models like the Wilpkracy. Its slim profile allows it to fit under most furniture, and the remote control plus LED display facilitate effortless workout tracking. The anti-slip, cushioned belt enhances comfort, and transport wheels make moving it between rooms simple. Yet, the maximum speed of 6 km/h limits more vigorous activity, and some users may find the walking area narrow. Compared with larger, feature-rich options like the Walking Pad Treadmill with 12% Auto Incline, this model trades advanced features for straightforward convenience. This treadmill is ideal for space-constrained environments where simple, controlled walking is desired.
Pros:- Slim, space-saving design fits under furniture
- Remote control and LED display for easy operation
- Cushioned anti-slip belt reduces impact
Cons:- Maximum speed of 6 km/h limits brisk walking or running

- Speed range:1–6 km/h
- Maximum user weight:120 kg (264 lbs)
- Dimensions:109 × 50 × 11 cm
- Walking area:38.5 × 94 cm
- Controls:Remote control
Our verdict“This treadmill offers a compact, easy-to-control walking solution for small spaces, but isn’t suited for high-speed or vigorous use.”
Compact Walking Pad Treadmill with Remote Control
This model stands out for its ultra-compact design and ease of use, making it ideal for small home offices where space is limited. Unlike larger treadmills like the Walking Pad with Incline and Height-Adjustable Handlebars, it requires no assembly and can be tucked under furniture after use. Its remote control simplifies quick adjustments, and the LED display provides essential workout data. However, with a top speed of only 4 mph, it’s better suited for walking rather than jogging or running, which could be restrictive for more active users. The corded power source means it needs proximity to an outlet, limiting placement options. Overall, this pick makes the most sense for users prioritizing convenience and space savings over high-speed workouts.
Pros:- Compact design with transport wheels for easy storage and movement
- Remote control allows for quick speed adjustments and pauses
- LED display shows time, speed, distance, and calories
Cons:- Maximum speed of 4 mph limits use to walking, not running
- Requires a corded electric power source, reducing placement flexibility
Best for: Individuals who need a space-saving, easy-to-operate walking solution for light activity at home or in a small office.
Not ideal for: Runners or those seeking a high-speed treadmill for more intense workouts, due to its limited maximum speed of 4 mph.
- Maximum speed:4 mph
- Speed range:0.6–4.0 mph
- Maximum horsepower:2.5 hp
- Power source:Corded electric
- Maximum weight recommendation:265 pounds
- Dimensions:40 x 19.2 x 4.1 inches
Our verdict“This treadmill is perfect for those needing a space-efficient, simple walking solution for light activity in small or shared spaces.”
Superun Walking Pad with 6% Incline, 2.5HP Treadmill, 300 lbs
Compared with the Compact Walking Pad Treadmill with Remote Control, this model offers a 6% incline that significantly boosts calorie burn and workout intensity. Its maximum speed of 3.8 mph might seem limiting for runners but is well-suited for brisk walking or light jogging. The whisper-quiet 2.5 hp motor allows for undisturbed work or sleep, making it ideal for multi-use spaces. Its high weight capacity of 300 lbs provides stability for a broad range of users. The main tradeoff here is its weight of 36.6 lbs, which, while portable, may still be cumbersome to move frequently. This treadmill is best for those who want an incline feature and a sturdy build for varied walking intensities, but not for high-speed running.
Pros:- 6% incline increases workout intensity and calorie burn
- Quiet motor operates below 45 dB, suitable for work or night use
- Supports up to 300 lbs for a wide user range
Cons:- Maximum speed of 3.8 mph may be insufficient for serious runners
- Weight of 36.6 lbs can be a bit heavy for frequent moving
Best for: Home office users seeking an incline feature and a stable, quiet treadmill for brisk walks or light jogs.
Not ideal for: Runners looking for higher speeds or quick, frequent repositioning, due to its limited top speed and weight.
- Maximum Speed:3.8 MPH
- Minimum Speed:0.6 MPH
- Maximum Horsepower:2.5 HP
- Maximum Incline:6%
- Display:LED
- Maximum Weight Recommendation:300 lbs
Our verdict“Ideal for users who prioritize incline training and quiet operation over high-speed running capabilities.”
Superun Walking Pad with 6% Incline, 2.5 HP Motor, 300 lb Capacity
This model offers a flexible speed range from 0.6 to 3.8 mph and a 6% incline, making it more adaptable than the Superun Walking Pad with 6% Incline, 2.5HP Treadmill with its three distinct speed settings. Its support for users up to 300 lbs and quiet operation below 45 dB make it suitable for diverse home environments. Its main advantage is the app compatibility with PitPat, providing an extra layer of control and tracking. However, its maximum speed remains limited to 3.8 mph, which restricts its use for running. Weighing 41 lbs, it’s slightly heavier and less portable than some competitors. This treadmill is best for users who want adjustable speeds and app integration for varied walking routines, but not for high-speed running or quick repositioning.
Pros:- Adjustable speed and incline options for personalized workouts
- Supports up to 300 lbs, accommodating diverse users
- Quiet operation below 45 dB with app compatibility for tracking
Cons:- Maximum speed still capped at 3.8 mph, unsuitable for running
- Weighs 41 lbs, which may be less convenient for frequent moves
Best for: Users who prefer customizable walking routines with app support and moderate incline training at home or in the office.
Not ideal for: High-speed runners or those needing ultra-lightweight, highly portable options, due to its weight and speed limitations.
- Incline:6%
- Motor:2.5 HP
- Speed range:0.6–3.8 MPH
- Weight capacity:300 lbs
- Noise level:Below 45 dB
- Product weight:41 lbs
Our verdict“Best suited for users seeking customizable walking routines with digital tracking in a space-efficient form.”
Walking Pad Treadmill with Incline and Height-Adjustable Handlebars
Compared to the previous models, this treadmill introduces height-adjustable handrails, which greatly improve stability and safety for users doing longer or more varied walks. Its 3.0 hp brushless motor operates quietly at or below 45 dB, making it suitable for work or relaxation. The manual 10% incline adds workout variety without a bulky machine, and the foldable design with transport wheels facilitates space management. The inclusion of multiple preset programs and a tablet holder enhances usability. The main tradeoff is the lack of app connectivity or automatic incline adjustment, which reduces customization options. With a maximum speed of 3.8 mph and a weight capacity of 300 lbs, this treadmill is best for users who want stability, manual incline control, and space-saving features, but not high-speed running or tech integrations.
Pros:- Height-adjustable handrails improve stability and safety
- Manual 10% incline adds workout variety without bulk
- Foldable design with transport wheels saves space
Cons:- Incline adjustment is manual, not automated
- Maximum speed limited to 3.8 mph, not suitable for running
Best for: Home users wanting adjustable support and manual incline for moderate walking or light workouts with enhanced stability.
Not ideal for: Those seeking a fully connected, app-controlled treadmill for advanced training or running, due to the manual incline and lack of Bluetooth features.
- Motor:3.0 HP brushless
- Noise Level:≤45 dB
- Maximum User Weight:300 lb
- Speed Range:0.6–3.8 MPH
- Incline:Manual 10%
- Handrail Height Positions:33.5″ / 37.4″
Our verdict“This treadmill excels for stability-focused users who want manual incline control and a space-efficient design for moderate walking routines.”
Walking Pad Treadmill for Home with Incline and Handle Bar
Compared with the more feature-rich models like the Walking Pad with Incline and Height-Adjustable Handlebars, this treadmill offers essential features with a focus on simplicity. Its maximum speed of 3.8 mph and 220 lb weight capacity make it suitable for light walkers rather than runners. The inclusion of a handlebar adds stability, particularly for users who may need extra support during longer walks. Its straightforward remote control and LED display make it easy to operate, but it lacks advanced features like app support or multiple incline levels. The 47.2-inch length and 4.6-inch profile make it space-efficient, but the lower weight capacity means it’s less suitable for heavier users. Overall, this treadmill is ideal for those seeking a straightforward, supportive walking device without complex features.
Pros:- Handlebar provides extra stability for longer walks
- Remote control and LED display are simple to operate
- Compact size with transport wheels for easy storage
Cons:- Maximum speed of 3.8 mph limits use for running
- Lower weight capacity of 220 lbs reduces suitability for heavier users
Best for: Individuals needing a simple, stable walking treadmill with support features for gentle walks or rehabilitation at home.
Not ideal for: Active runners or users seeking advanced features like incline automation or app connectivity, due to its basic setup and limited speed.
- Speed:0.6–3.8 mph

- Dimensions:47.2 × 19.6 × 4.6 inches
- Display:LED
- Controls:Remote control

How We Picked
Products were evaluated based on performance, build quality, usability, and value for home office users. I prioritized models that are specifically designed to fit under desks without sacrificing stability or safety. The ease of assembly, noise levels, and additional features like incline or Bluetooth were also considered, as these factors influence daily usability. The ranking reflects a balance between affordability, functionality, and durability, aiming to recommend options suitable for a variety of home office setups and user needs.Factors to Consider When Choosing Under-desk Treadmills For Home Offices
Choosing an under-desk treadmill involves weighing several factors to find the best fit for your workspace and activity goals. Beyond just size and price, consider how features like incline, noise level, and control options will impact your daily use. The right treadmill should seamlessly integrate into your home office without disrupting your workflow or comfort. Here are some key considerations to keep in mind before making a purchase.Size and Fit
Size is a primary concern when selecting an under-desk treadmill. Measure your available space carefully to ensure the model fits comfortably under your desk and leaves room for movement. Compact designs are ideal for small offices, but they may lack stability or features found in larger models. Remember, a treadmill that is too bulky may hinder your ability to work comfortably or store it when not in use.
Noise Levels
Since you’ll likely use the treadmill while working or during calls, noise can be a major factor. Look for models with quiet motors and minimal vibration. Higher noise levels can be distracting to you and others around you, especially in shared or quiet environments. Reading user reviews or specifications about decibel levels can help identify truly quiet options that won’t disrupt your workflow.
Incline and Workout Features
Incline features enhance workout variety but often add to the complexity and cost of a treadmill. Decide if you want adjustable inclines to increase intensity or if a simple flat walking surface suffices. Models with automatic incline adjustments or Bluetooth-controlled settings can offer more tailored workouts but may require more maintenance or deal with connectivity issues. Consider your fitness goals and how much feature complexity you’re comfortable managing daily.
Ease of Use and Controls
Ease of use is vital, especially if you plan to walk while working. Remote controls, touchscreens, or smartphone apps can streamline operation but might introduce learning curves or connectivity concerns. Simpler control panels with straightforward buttons are often more reliable and less distracting during work. Think about how intuitive the controls are and whether they integrate well into your existing workspace setup.
Durability and Capacity
Durability and weight capacity influence how long your treadmill will last and how it handles different users. Higher capacity models with sturdy frames are better for heavier users or frequent use, but they might be larger and costlier. Check the build quality, warranty, and user weight limits to ensure the treadmill will withstand daily use without issues. Investing in a durable model can save money and frustration over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use an under-desk treadmill while working on my computer?
Yes, most under-desk treadmills are designed for use while seated at a desk or standing. It’s important to choose a model with a low profile and quiet operation to avoid distractions. Make sure the control panel or remote is easily accessible so you can adjust speed without interrupting your workflow. Starting at a slow pace and gradually increasing can help you adapt comfortably to walking during work tasks.
How much space do I need for an under-desk treadmill?
Typically, you should measure the space under your desk, including height clearance, to ensure the treadmill fits comfortably. Most models are around 50-55 inches long and 20-30 inches wide, but compact options are available for tighter spaces. Be sure to leave enough room for your legs to move freely and for the treadmill to be stored away or folded when not in use. Proper measurement prevents purchasing a model that’s too large or unstable for your setup.
Are under-desk treadmills noisy enough to disturb others?
Many models operate quietly enough to avoid disturbing your surroundings, especially those with brushless motors or sound-dampening features. However, some budget or older models may produce noticeable noise, which could be distracting in shared spaces or quiet environments. Reading specific decibel levels or user reviews can help identify quieter options, and adding a mat underneath can reduce vibrations and noise further.
What maintenance do under-desk treadmills require?
Maintenance for these treadmills is generally minimal, mostly involving regular cleaning and occasional lubrication of the belt or deck. Checking screws and bolts periodically ensures stability, and inspecting the belt for wear can prevent issues. Some models include self-lubricating belts that require less upkeep. Proper maintenance extends the lifespan of your treadmill and ensures consistent performance.
Is it safe to walk and work at the same time with an under-desk treadmill?
Walking while working is safe with the right model, provided you follow safety guidelines. Start at slow speeds to get accustomed to the movement, and ensure your workspace is clear of obstructions. Using a treadmill with safety features like an emergency stop or slow-start function adds an extra layer of safety. Always listen to your body and avoid walking at speeds that compromise your focus or posture. Proper setup and cautious use make this a practical way to stay active during work hours.
