I love how thorough and concise your reviews are! Could you do a top 10 for the best treadmills that are more compact for home settings? There's so many out there but it's hard to decide which one is reliable.
When you said this was light by comparison, I had to get a sense of how heavy treadmills were in comparison to the 90 lb plus this one weighs. And I did not have a sense of how HP contributed to using this at its max speed for too long. This is a pretty thorough review. I appreciate the information here.
Thank you for the review, it helped me make up my mind about buying this treadmill, since I've been looking for a folding one for light/moderate use that wasn't too expensive.
@@jenniferf3034 Yes, I use it a few times a week. It's pretty easy to set up and use. I was worried about feeling the line under the belt where it folds while I walk, but I don't feel it at all (not with shoes, anyway). I don't use the app because I have another app for counting steps and I'm okay with managing it using the button. It's also not noisy, which is good since I live in an aprtment building, but I bought a mat for it anyway to be sure the neighbours wouln't complain
@@Yahya-X No - if you lay it down instead of standing it up, the wheels come off the floor, so if you try to roll in, you'll just be dragging it on the floor. Also, there are no pads or legs or anything on that side that you can rest it on, it's just the frame of the handle/arch. I don't think it is meant to be laid down and pushed under a sofa.
When running at high speed, it is difficult to control the rotation of the control knob to increase or decrease the speed exactly as desired. Very dangerous. Better if it has a handheld remote. But this product does not have a remote control, it is not designed according to this model. The phone app is also difficult to control and sometimes doesn't connect well
I LOVE the simple, clean look of this! Do you like this as much as some of the other brands of walking/light running treadmill pads? I was also considering the Urevo 3-in1 as well as the Lifespan (but I wish it had a front folding handle!).....thoughts?
Is it still worth getting this one? Debating over R2. Which do you recommend? I prefer to use at standing desk and be able to run at the max speed when not at the desk. Assuming X21 can still go under the desk even the bar doesn't goes down. Is there better folding treadmill over those two model?
My wife and I are looking for a small foldable treadmill, and this seems perfect for our apartment. But, she will primarily be walking while I would like to run. For how long would you recommend to use this at max speed? I guess I will be running for about 30 minutes 2-3 times during the week. I am 5,7 and not that heavy. Thanks in advance.
This review was really helpful, thanks a lot! Will you consider reviewing a Kingsmith K15 treadmill? That's quite interesting model, also foldable and with build-in 4% incline(you can't change it, but as for me, for a foldable and relatively compact treadmill that's an amazing feature)
Thanks for watching! We aren't planning on reviewing this treadmill yet because our schedule is already pretty full, but we will see what we can do. In the mean time, we are happy to answer any questions you may have.
Thank you for the review. I have a maintenance question. How often do you fold the treadmill? Is there a chance to break the mechanism if it is too often (twice a day for example)?
I am not sure if you would know the answer to this but how big is the box (when you unboxed it) that this walking pad comes in? Would it fit the backseat or the trunk of a Honda Accord? thank you again
I’m 210/215 ish…wondering if this one would still be okay since the max weight is 240 idk I just worry I’m too big for it or something like I’m gonna break it 😂😂😂
Wanted to buy this for a present but unsure now, we are both wanting to use it for walking and jogging. We are 5.6ft 5.1ff and around 15/16 stone..is this any good for use?
No. The r2 version handlebar that can be folded down for desk use. If using it at a desk is important to you, that is a better option. If you ONLY intend to use it for light walking and under desk, there are much smaller/cheaper options. The x21 and r2 allow for light jogging, which is nice if you need that, but it makes them larger. Don’t buy the x21 or r2 unless you intend to use your treadmill for more than 3.5 mph.
@@OathesisGaming yes. I ended up getting the R1 Pro as it has the same weight capacity and comes with "foldable" handlebars so you have the flexibility of using it as a walking pad under the desk or treadmill for jogging. Not quite as aesthetic as the x21 (imo) but a great purchase.
Hello i have kingsmith x21 , and everything was fine. Today i found out that the top button/ controller of my walking pad , display button changed its language to chinese. I want it back to english! Please help!

I would go with the R2. Since the console doesn't fold down on the X21, you would have to raise your desk pretty high to fit it underneath. The R2 is meant to be used under a desk and on its own, so it's better for that kind of use. Plus, the R2 folds up to be just as compact as the X21.

After a month, do you still like this treadmill?

Can you use this on wood floor without using mat underneath?

Thanks! It is coming soon, stay tuned!

I like the comparison with the heights, that's the case with my wife and I 😃
Awesome! We're glad it was helpful!

Great review. Very helpful. Thank you very much.
Hello, can you grab the frontal bar while walking?
They seem to sell an X23 model in some places, but I can’t see what was changed.
I'm 6 foot 6, would you say yay or nay?
I was getting shocks from the 2 screws under the handle. I sent it back.
Great review. Very helpful, thanks 😊
Thanks for watching!
How's this compare with the R2?
How durable is it? Has anyone got long term experience? Any information about durability and quality is highly appreciated. Thanks! 👍

Valid concern! Matt felt the same way but for walking he's felt pretty good on it so you should be good.
Wanted to buy this for a present but unsure now, we are both wanting to use it for walking and jogging. We are 5.6ft 5.1ff and around 15/16 stone..is this any good for use?
Anything similar to this that you can jog and run without burning the motor?
Can the "handlebar" be detached for use under a desk?
No. The r2 version handlebar that can be folded down for desk use. If using it at a desk is important to you, that is a better option. If you ONLY intend to use it for light walking and under desk, there are much smaller/cheaper options. The x21 and r2 allow for light jogging, which is nice if you need that, but it makes them larger.
Don’t buy the x21 or r2 unless you intend to use your treadmill for more than 3.5 mph.
i was hoping the handlebars would detached too. @veronica did you find a suitable walking pad for under the desk use?
@@OathesisGaming yes. I ended up getting the R1 Pro as it has the same weight capacity and comes with "foldable" handlebars so you have the flexibility of using it as a walking pad under the desk or treadmill for jogging. Not quite as aesthetic as the x21 (imo) but a great purchase.
@@Veronica.SPinto Thank you for the reply .. .. think I might just get the same as you .. :)
Can it handle me running 3 times a week for about 30 minutes?
My weight is 230 lb and height is 5 feet 8½ inches
This is a great review! Thank you very much!
Thanks for watching!
Can it be used with handle down on lower speed?
How long is the recommended use per session?
Thanks for the review!!
Thanks for watching!
Is the is noise ?
Do we get this walking pad x21 in india
I’d like to see you fold it up, please
Hello i have kingsmith x21 , and everything was fine.
Today i found out that the top button/ controller of my walking pad , display button changed its language to chinese. I want it back to english! Please help!
不知道啊兄弟
Can it handle weight around 290 lbs for walking?
No, the weight capacity is only 240 lbs. For other folding options with higher limits, I would check out the Echelon Stride and Sole F63.
Seemed great, till I saw it was $1,000.
;p
but this sounds really noisy for anyone who lives underneath you
