Vitalwalk Apollo 11 Vibe
The entry-tier Apollo 11: 15% auto incline and a 39.5 by 16 inch deck for $297.48 on Amazon (2026-10-28), about $100 under Vitalwalk's $399.99 direct price (2026-11-06). Bluetooth speakers, a mute button and a 15-second absence auto-pause set it apart from the rest of the line. The manual rates its motor at 550W, against the 735W of the Elite, Ultra and Max, and it tops out at 3.8 mph. It weighs 44.8 lb, carries 330 lb, stores upright in 1.5 square feet, and holds 4.2 stars from 42 ratings.

Warranty
Vitalwalk states 5 years on the frame, 2 years on the motor and 1 year general coverage, with lifetime technical assistance. Those terms are identical to the rest of the Apollo 11 line. They come from the brand's product page; the Amazon listing states no warranty term of its own.
Motor
Both the Amazon bullets and the brand product page state a "3.0HP brushless motor" for this machine, in the same wording the rest of the Apollo 11 line uses. The manual lists 550W rated power, 5.3A and 3.0 HP peak but says nothing about the motor type, and no regulatory filing or motor label has turned up, so the brushless claim is listed rather than confirmed.
Price
Price: $297.48 on Amazon on 2026-10-28, a sale against a $349.99 list price, sold by "Walking pad -Direct" and fulfilled by Amazon. It was $314.99 on 2026-09-29 and $297.49 on 2026-08-16 (the site owner supplied $298 on 2026-08-03 for the same offer). Vitalwalk's own store had it at $399.99 on 2026-11-06, so Amazon is about $100 cheaper.
The tier above it had closed the gap on Amazon. On 2026-08-22 the Apollo 11 Elite was selling at $299.95 there, so the two were effectively the same money, and the choice between them was the Elite's confirmed motor and 20 lb more capacity rather than price. The Vibe rose to $314.99 on 2026-09-29 and was back to $297.48 on 2026-10-28, and no later Amazon price for the Elite is on record. The two decks are the same size to within half an inch. Direct from Vitalwalk the tiers separate normally, $399.99 here against the Elite's $429.99.
Stars
4.2 stars from 42 ratings on 2026-10-07, split 65% five-star, 14% four-star, 7% three-star, 7% two-star and 7% one-star. That is down from 4.5 stars on 16 to 28 ratings in August. The extra low ratings came in as the pool grew past the roughly 20-review floor where the number starts to mean something, so the 4.2 now carries real weight in scoring. A 7% one-star share is ordinary for a budget walking pad, and the pool still has no hollow middle. The listing ranked around #45,078 in Sports and Outdoors in August, which is what a new, low-volume listing looks like.
Incline
15% auto incline, consistent across the Amazon listing, the brand page and the product photography, and adjusted from the display or the app rather than by hand.
The range has 15 levels. The manual's spec table lists 15 incline sections, and its control guide shows the incline running from level 0 to level 15, which matches Amazon's 15-level claim. The brand page's figure of 6 levels is wrong. The two channels also disagree on what it buys you: Amazon claims 180% more calories burned, the brand page 80% more. Treat both calorie figures as marketing rather than as data, since the brand is contradicting itself about them on two pages published in the same week.
Motor power
About 0.74 horsepower, derived from the 550W rated power in the manual's specification table (550W divided by 746W per horsepower). The manual calls 550W the rated power and gives no duty class, so this is a rated figure rather than a continuous one, and it scores without the continuous-output bonus. The 3.0 HP on both sales channels is the peak number, which the manual confirms.
That puts the Vibe on a smaller motor than its Apollo 11 siblings. The Elite, Ultra and Max carry a published 735W rating, about 0.99 continuous horsepower.
Released
2026-05-20, the date the machine appeared in Vitalwalk's own catalog. Amazon publishes no first-available date for this listing, so unlike the sibling models, whose dates come from that Amazon field, this one is a brand-catalog publication date and may run slightly ahead of when the machine could actually be bought.
Shock
The "Vital+" dual-layer shock frame, the same system the Elite, Ultra and Max carry, marketed on 200,000 impact tests and a 60% joint-impact reduction claim. Nothing on either channel suggests it is a better or worse implementation than the siblings'.
Decibels
A 35 dB claim appears on both channels, described as library-quiet. It is a manufacturer figure with no stated measurement method and no independent measurement to check it against, in line with the 35 to 40 dB claims the rest of the line makes. The unit does have a mute button for silencing beeps during calls, which is the part of the noise story you can verify yourself.
Easy Lube
Not scored yet. The manual's procedure is to lift one side of the belt, apply about 10 mL of silicone oil between belt and deck near the center, then repeat on the other side. It asks for that every 2 to 3 months at 3 to 5 hours of weekly use, or every 130 miles, and a bottle of oil comes in the box. This score rates how easily a nozzle gets under the belt past the side rails, and neither the manual nor the product photos settle that geometry, so the cell stays empty until someone checks the rail height.
App
FitShow and Zwift over Bluetooth, with workout data syncing to Apple Health and Strava. Both apps are named on the Amazon listing and the brand page, so this is stated on the product's own pages rather than inferred from the brand's software lineup.
Model
The model number is TM12GY. It is printed on the cover of Vitalwalk's instruction manual for the Vibe, and the treadmill advertises the same string as its Bluetooth name when you pair it. The brand's product page still prints "Apollo 11 Vibe" in its model-number field, and the Amazon listing carries no part number, so the manual is where the code shows up.
It sits at the bottom of the Apollo 11 line rather than the top: a 39.5 x 16 inch full deck, 330 lb capacity, 44.8 lb unit weight (52.7 lb boxed), a 7.09 inch profile, 0.6 to 3.8 mph in 0.2 mph steps, 15% auto incline, alloy steel, and the "Vital+" dual-layer shock frame the rest of the line uses. The dual Bluetooth speakers, the mute button and the 15-second absence auto-pause are the features that separate it from the Elite and the Ultra.
The Apollo 11 Ultra was not replaced by this machine
The Ultra's Amazon listing went away on 2026-08-02 and no longer resolves, which reads at first glance like a succession. It is not one, on four counts.
The Ultra is still an actively sold product: it is live and in stock brand-direct at $589.99, with its catalog record updated 2026-08-15, the same week as the Vibe's. The Vibe's own Amazon page still cross-links the Ultra as a current member of the lineup rather than presenting itself as a successor. The two are different tiers, not two generations of one machine - the Ultra is a 43 x 18 inch belt, 350 lb capacity, 12% incline, 86 lb unit at $589.99, while the Vibe is 39.5 x 16, 330 lb, 15% incline, 47 lb, and about $298. And the timeline runs backwards for a replacement: the Vibe entered the brand catalog on 2026-05-20, roughly ten weeks before the Ultra's Amazon listing disappeared.
What happened to the Ultra is the death of an Amazon listing, not the discontinuation of a product. It sells brand-direct only now, at an unchanged price.
Identity
Marketing name: Apollo 11 Vibe. Confirmed three ways: the brand catalog title, the "Apollo 11 - Vibe" text silk-screened on the unit's side rail in the main product photo, and the "Vibe BT Speaker" string in the Amazon title (which carries no "Apollo 11" text at all).
The model number is TM12GY, from the cover of the US instruction manual (V3) Vitalwalk now posts for this machine; the unit also broadcasts TM12GY as its Bluetooth name. The brand's Shopify record carries the SKU JSTM12BKUS1. The brand page's model-number field still reads "Apollo 11 Vibe".
Sold by "Walking pad -Direct" and fulfilled by Amazon, not by the "Vitalwalk-US" storefront the four sibling models ship from. The listing carries Vitalwalk's own enhanced brand content and ships through Amazon's warehouses, so it reads as a first-party storefront trading under a second name rather than as a third-party reseller.
Where the listing contradicts itself
Two figures disagree inside the Amazon listing itself. The bullets advertise 40 lbs and a 6.7 inch profile; the specification table on the same page says 47 lbs and 7 inches. The manual settles it with a third set: 44.8 lb net, 52.7 lb gross, and 41.57 x 20.16 x 7.09 inches assembled. This table records the manual's figures.
The second disagreement is between channels, on incline granularity and calorie claims, and is covered in the incline section above.
Motor and speed from the manual
The manual's specification table lists 550W rated power at 5.3A, 3.0 HP peak and a 0.6 to 3.8 mph range, where the sales pages said 4 mph. It gives no motor speed, thermal class or duty class, and it does not say whether the motor is brushless.
Elsewhere in the Vitalwalk lineup
Two further Vitalwalk models surfaced that this table does not carry: the Apollo 11 Pro at $699.98 brand-direct and the Apollo 11 Ultimate at $899.99, both of which are likely fast enough to be running treadmills rather than walking pads.
