I’ve been curious about the walkolution but am struggling with the price. How do you like it overall? Do you feel like your gait is much different from a powered treadmill? Is it much quieter than powered treadmills?

I like it a lot but I don't know how much of that is buyer's Stockholm Syndrome given the price tag. The gait feels significantly different. My understanding is the lack of motorization means that you spend an extra around 30% more energy and the slight curve means your feet meet the treadmill at different points.

It is much quieter but you have to keep up with maintenance.
