Thanks for this detailed review , much appreciated. I just bought the walkingpad C2 and I’m looking forward to get this one in the future whenever I can find a good deal for it
I bought it and I'm really happy!! 😊 really really happy! It works perfectly, and sends all the correct training data to my Apple Health app. Too bad it doesn't communicate with my Garmin watch directly but ... I guess it's a Garmin thing: either my Forerunner 55 is too basic or Garmin doesn't include Kingsmith into their list of 'approved' devices ... I dunno! Anyway, not a big deal. It's a great treadmill, and I thank you for having tested it for me before I decided to buy it!! 😅
This happened only the first time - must have been a glitch, but after the 2nd time, that issue has never happened. All digits are fully visible ever since the date I published this video.
Hi Umer, thank you for your detailed review. At 7:41 of your video, bottom left of screenshot, the time '3:43' isn't showing correctly. Does it bother you? What is the process like regarding issues like this after purchasing from Walkingpad? Thanks.
Hi! Great question - In fact, it doesn't bother me at all. It doesn't stop me from knowing how long I've been using the treadmill for at all - and if I use my phone/tablet with the app - the time appears on there anyway, and I like using the app more because I can very quickly go to preset speeds, without having to manually twist the knob on the handles. Hope that helps!
Hi Umer, thanks for the review! I'd been on the fence about making such an expensive purchase but your review gave me the leap of faith I needed to go ahead and buy it! Hoping it will be well worth it!
Hi there! Thanks for the comment, I'm glad my video helped! I use it a few times a week at the start of my workouts, and it has been great. One of the best purchases for fitness equipment I've ever made. Very well built! :)
Hi Umer, thank you for the video it was very informative. I found answer to most of my questions in the comments section. I was hoping you could help me. What is the height of the handlebar from the floor (looking to calculate how I my standing desk has to be to accommodate this model). Also is the height of the handlebar adjustable? Does it fold away during walking mode? Thanks!
Hi there! Thank you for your comment :) Its 1 meter from the floor to the top of the handlebar. The height is not adjustable, its fixed. And unfortunately it cannot fold whilst the treadmill is fully open. Hope this helps!
I don't see why not. It's pretty solid. Just note the handle bar doesn't fold down so you'd have to have a standing desk raised above it for you to use it as a walking under-desk treadmill
No presets unfortunately - its just manual control. But I did notice after I used the treadmill more and more, that if I wanted to do a quick sprint and then come back down to walk, the knob on the handle goes up by 3km/h if you spin it faster - so I go from 6km to 12km with 2 quick spins of the knob. Slow spins control it for every 0.1km/h and a medium spin can make it go up by 1km/h at a time, which is pretty unique.
Now that you’ve had the WalkingPad treadmill for two months or more, would you still recommend it? I’m looking for a treadmill for walking that is very space efficient and durable.
It's pretty easy. I run at max 12km/h speed on it but when you do a quick spin of the knob (which also works with a quick flick with 1 finger too), it drops speed by 3km/h at a time....so I do 2 quick spins and get down to 6km/h walking pace very easily. I don't have to keep spinning it whilst still running. If that makes sense?
I’m wondering if a slim tac pad or grippy pad of some sort will help the ipad stay securely in place and also eliminate that extra tapping noise at higher speeds?
Technically it would still work fine, no matter your height, because it is very heavy duty, but the handle bars might be a bit too low down in case you wanted to hold it whilst running for example. But I don't see why not!
Hi there. Oh really...I didn't realise this was possible. Have you connected via the KS Fit app too and see if speed is limited to 9km/h too? It may also be worth contacting the manufacturer support team to find out why tbh.
I'm 5"5, but I don't see this being a problem for taller people at all. It just says the Max Payload is 120kg, so as long as you don't weigh more than that, I don't think height would be an issue.
yes thats expected - even when you run. But you can walk/run a little bit closer to the handrail to avoid hitting the bend/fold under the middle part, but I also wear thick rubbered running trainers that make me feel that bend a little less.
Apart from the pros: New out of the box and one pixel on the second from the left digit not working?? Poor holder design - iPad jumping and moving sideways almost falling off while jogging. It also seems to vibrate quite a lot - can you easily watch a movie on it while jogging?
That glitch with the digit was fixed when I turned it off and turned it back on again, so not an issue. In terms of vibration, yes it does move the iPad on the stand. I think that's just the design of the tablet/phone holder. Unless you can find a way to hold it more securely on that, then no workaround for it unfortunately
I brought one. I was sooo excited and had the perfect work space for it. I'd unboxed it, set it up, and plugged it in......paper weight. All DEAD. I experienced an useless waste of time. Very disappointed. Just received my return label.
Oh really, I'm so sorry you experienced that - not sure what happened with your treadmill but I know how Jarring an experience like that could be, especially after spending that much.

Thank you so much I'm glad my video was helpful! It's definitely a great treadmill and I still use it every week!
hi may i know if yours is still working good?
I want it but when you turn it on and you already have issues with digits missing on the LCD timer I don’t know how I feel about it
This happened only the first time - must have been a glitch, but after the 2nd time, that issue has never happened. All digits are fully visible ever since the date I published this video.

After more than one year... Are you satisfied by this product? I don't know yet if i'll buy it or not :p
Thank you for your review, so excited to purchase it
Hope you enjoy it!
Excellent review. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!

Hi there! Thank you for your comment :)
Its 1 meter from the floor to the top of the handlebar.
The height is not adjustable, its fixed. And unfortunately it cannot fold whilst the treadmill is fully open.
Hope this helps!
Hi, do you think this could handle extensive use for walking while working each day? As in 4-6 hours worth of use at walking speeds?
I don't see why not. It's pretty solid.
Just note the handle bar doesn't fold down so you'd have to have a standing desk raised above it for you to use it as a walking under-desk treadmill
@@TrendingReviews ohhh ok. I think the other model has the handle bar that folds down. That’s a big difference. Ok, thank you 🙏
are there any HIIT presets?
No presets unfortunately - its just manual control. But I did notice after I used the treadmill more and more, that if I wanted to do a quick sprint and then come back down to walk, the knob on the handle goes up by 3km/h if you spin it faster - so I go from 6km to 12km with 2 quick spins of the knob. Slow spins control it for every 0.1km/h and a medium spin can make it go up by 1km/h at a time, which is pretty unique.
Can interval training be set using the application? or can we just turn the gears up and down manually?
You'll have to change the gears up and down early.
Now that you’ve had the WalkingPad treadmill for two months or more, would you still recommend it? I’m looking for a treadmill for walking that is very space efficient and durable.
Yes definitely. I actually use this treadmill almost everyday and absolutely love it.
@@TrendingReviews Awesome Thanks!
@@TrendingReviews Great Review. Just ordered from Iron Life and they said they can do an inspection of the unit before shipping.
@TrendingReviews do you still use it? Does it work ok after a year?
When running fast, is your control of the speed knob accurate and easy? I feel dangerous and easy to damage that knob
It's pretty easy. I run at max 12km/h speed on it but when you do a quick spin of the knob (which also works with a quick flick with 1 finger too), it drops speed by 3km/h at a time....so I do 2 quick spins and get down to 6km/h walking pace very easily.

I’m wondering if a slim tac pad or grippy pad of some sort will help the ipad stay securely in place and also eliminate that extra tapping noise at higher speeds?
I haven't found any other suitable workaround to do that just yet, but if I do, will update it back onto the comments here!
@@TrendingReviewsthey sell a separate fitness mat to put underneath it. Definitely seems to help with stability at jogging speeds
[Edit] It does work in landscape. Que. Does the iPad app work in landscape mode as well or only in portrait mode?
It works in both landscape and portrait for me.
Great review. Can you tell me how high the base is from the floor? I have being of 6'4" and I am 5'8" tall
Sorry for the late reply! Its 1meter from the floor to the top of the base. Hope that helps!
Does it show how many steps you take?
If you connect via the KS Fit app, you can show the steps on the handle.
Bruh that iPad is shaking
would u recommend for a 6ft 5 person
Technically it would still work fine, no matter your height, because it is very heavy duty, but the handle bars might be a bit too low down in case you wanted to hold it whilst running for example. But I don't see why not!
@@TrendingReviews i think they adjust if im not wrong
Hello how is it now?
still going strong! Used it this morning too :)
@@TrendingReviews thanks’
Is this manual?
What do you mean by Manual?
Hello, I have X21. But my max speed is 9km/h. How can I change it?
Hi there. Oh really...I didn't realise this was possible. Have you connected via the KS Fit app too and see if speed is limited to 9km/h too? It may also be worth contacting the manufacturer support team to find out why tbh.
hello! how is the treadmill holding up after 3 months?
Still going strong! I even used it today, did about 4km on it - I've been using it about 4x a week and absolutely love it.
@@TrendingReviews do you reckon i can use it everyday for 2 hours at maybe 5-6 speed?
What is your opinion now? Do you still use it? Thank you.
Yep, still using it till this day - love it!
Thank you for this review! I'm trying to decide which model to purchase. This was very helpful. 🙂
You're welcome!
Why not ovicx x3 plus?
More expensive and takes more space.
How much does it cost?
You can have a look at their website for latest prices and offers. Link is in the description of the video.
Does is consume a lot of electric?
Not that much. I keep an eye on my electric costs/usage and its quite low with this.
How tall are you? Would a taller person with a larger gait have a problem?
I'm 5"5, but I don't see this being a problem for taller people at all. It just says the Max Payload is 120kg, so as long as you don't weigh more than that, I don't think height would be an issue.
How is it holding up now?
Still going strong till this day!
Is it normal that i feel the bemd in middle while walking ??
yes thats expected - even when you run. But you can walk/run a little bit closer to the handrail to avoid hitting the bend/fold under the middle part, but I also wear thick rubbered running trainers that make me feel that bend a little less.
Do you still think it is good for running after having it awhile?
Yep! I ran on it this morning too :)
Damaged display in the "time" field. The belt is also damaged on the right side.
Apart from the pros: New out of the box and one pixel on the second from the left digit not working?? Poor holder design - iPad jumping and moving sideways almost falling off while jogging. It also seems to vibrate quite a lot - can you easily watch a movie on it while jogging?
