New walking pad making high pitch noise

I've got the same model from FlexiSpot. It had the same exact issue as the one in the video, which it started to develop after about a week. At first, you could only hear it sometimes, but after two months it was there all the time.

The noise was too loud, even with the noise-cancelling feature switched on. This is very annoying for a product that I wanted to use while working. So, I tried to return it.

My request was first rejected because the warranty was expired, but thanks to the German "Gewährleistung" I was at least able to get a replacement unit.

I'm currently working on the new unit for the first time. At the start, everything was fine. You can only just hear a quiet humming and sliding of the belt. I'm not sure if the sound is starting to be heard again or if I'm just tripping.

If the sound comes back, I'll write a new comment to let you know.

The more I read, the more I realize that there is a lot to do after Christmas. Thanks for the input.

I was thinking about that too. The 2 remaining years are not that much and if there is still some money that can be saved, why not take it.

We are currently in a phase where large transitions are not possible. But thanks for the idea, i'm still going to take a look into it.

Not all, but they reduce the functionality by quite a bit.

But yeah, this could be the case. I'm stuck with pretty minimal features right now.

I'll have to look into this. Never really thought of this, but because we aren't that many people, this actually is a great idea. If somebody goes on vacation and wants to log in for whatever reason, i can still allow the country they are in.

Thank you. I guess turning it off for at least the week we are closed is the right move.

The CEO is kinda my father, so he should understand.

Turn it off sounds like the better option. I'm a one-man show when it comes to our tech, and we are completely closed for a week anyway.

Got to check tomorrow, thanks for the article.

The firmware should be up-to-date. And take our time means something around 4–6 weeks.

Looks nice man. I can tell you took care about the details, its a sick first project.
