WALKINGPAD Foldable Walking Pad for Home Office, Under Desk Treadmill with Adaptive Speed Control, Compact Design for Small Spaces, No Assembly Needed

Highly recommend for anyone who wants a low profile treadmill for light exercise
If you plan to use this on a GFCI outlet or a circuit that’s on a GFCI breaker you will need to buy something called an isolation transformer. Probably something with at least 500W capacity, but I went with 1000W just to be safe.Reason being: this thing will draw a ton of power when the motor first kicks on, and that will probably trip the GFCI safety into thinking there’s been a fault or a short. That’s not unique to this product – any treadmill will likely do the same. Best use case it to connect right in to a regular outlet and you should have no issues, but if you are going to use this in a space where only GFCI circuits are available (like a basement), then you need to use an isolation transformer.I’m not an expert on electronics or anything like that, but I had seen mention of isolation transformers solving the issue somewhere online and when I tried it for myself it seemed to work.Been using it with the transformer for a few months now and haven’t had any problems at all. The product itself has been good – the size is perfect for my workspace and I use it under my desk when I’m gaming or working. The speed settings are great for a casual walk all the way up to a bit of a brisk walking pace. Setup is easy – apply a little bit of treadmill lubricant (sold separately) and plug it in and go. There is an app but I’ve not used it at all and don’t feel like I’m missing out.

Compact storage, fairly quiet except annoying beeper.
I’m generally happy with it, I got it because it folds up which means I can easily store it under my desk standing on its side and the price is reasonable. It’s fairly quiet up to about 1.7 mph, after that you start noticing a whirring sound, below 1.7 mph I find that the loudest sound is my shoes contacting the belt. I got some soft/foam sole shoes that seem to lessen the sound of my feet hitting the belt. I asked the people in the next cube over if they hear it, they say they can hear when I walk, mainly my footsteps, but claim it doesn’t bother them, though I ‘m lucky I don’t share a cube so they’re all at least one row over.A few cons: The pad does have an app but it’s a bit clunky, you have to manually tell it to connect to your phone every time you walk away from the pad, the app does connect to Google Fit and health connect. It comes with a remote as well, which is nice but the display on the remote is pretty dim and the buttons are not very high quality, I can already feel them getting recessed into the remote after a couple of months of use, but it works. The automatic mode requires you to be too far forward on the pad for it to not slow down that I end up kicking the top of the motor enclosure, so I just set the speed manually. The most annoying thing was that it has a “beeper” that loudly beeps every time it starts or you change the speed, I felt it was unacceptably loud for the people around me, so I popped the top cover off and just filled the buzzer with hot glue and now the beep is barely audible. Happy walking!

I bought this walking pad so that I can do some calorie burning whilst watching Netflix. It arrived well-packed with power cable, remote control with lanyard, wrench, silicon oil and instructions.The remote is quite easy to use. It displays time, speed, distance, calories and steps.There are two modes: manual & automatic. In manual mode, you need to use the plus and minus buttons to adjust the speed. In automatic mode, it will accelerate if you are walking at the top of the belt and slow down if you are walking at the bottom of the belt. I haven’t tried the automatic mode yet.Moving the pad is quite easy due to the wheels at the side of the motor, as long as you unplug the power cable. The socket is located at the front of the pad, so leaving the power cable in it means you really need to bend your back quite a lot to wheel the pad.It is probably not very safe to move the unpacked pad via stairs by one person, as it’s too loose and bulky (unless maybe after securing it with a luggage strap).It is important to place the pad in a straight line to the TV or desk, as otherwise you will be stepping on the sides and losing your balance. I did.During the first few uses, I could smell some burning type of smell, but this goes away pretty quickly.The instructions are written by a person who is not a native English speaker and comprehensible for the most part, but sometimes need to think a what they mean. Fortunately, there is a lot of images that help to figure it out.I am not sure why the weight limit is set to 100 kg, as the pad is very sturdy and can accommodate much heavier people. I’m guessing either the motor is wearing out quicker or the pad might not be wide enough for the heavier people.Silicone oil needs to be applied every 3 months.The app that goes with the pad has poor reviews, but it is not necessary to install it for it to work, so I didn’t bother.Overall, it is an excellent piece of equipment and even with the minor shortcomings it deserves 4.9 stars.

Hey everyone!Today I want to tell you about my experience with the walking pad P1. For those that don’t want to read the details: absolutely recommended product :)How I bought and received itThe journey with my walking pad started out not so well to be honest. The package arrived damaged and I was uncertain whether to open it at all or whether what was inside was also damaged. They had put the straps around the package in the wrong way, so that it bite into the it.HOWEVER the support was super helpful, acknowledge the damage and told me to try it out and promised to take it back in case anything was damaged or did not work properly and also offered some discount for the damaged packaged, even if the product was okay. So for me, a 5 star customer experience. Really good.Setting it upIt tool a bit of trial and error for me, but finally I found a good way to integrate it into my working space. Must have: electronic height adjustable desk. Pro Tip: I bought an old office desk from ebay kleinanzeigen and took the top-plate off .. then I bought a height adjustable frame from amazon and put that top-plate on it. Saved me 200-300€, as those top-plates are really as expensive as all the rest with the electronics.There is also a remote control, aside from the app, which I hanged on the wall next to my desk. You can see it in the pictures above. This allows you to easily control the walking pad, start it and stop it.Using the AppThe app is solid, but from the overall experience really the worst of the package. You will see my screenshot from it with 541km, when actually I have walked something like 600+ because 1) the pad will only transfer data to the app, when you manually go and open it on a specific screen. Then the data is not stored in the cloud, so when you disconnect the walking pad from power, this training data is lost. Also it does not store the day of exercise on the walking pad. So if you do not access your walking pad daily through the app, then you get all exercise data mapped to the current day. This way, you can walk 100km on it in a single day 😉 However, it is not a really big deal. Just the worst part of the whole product experience – and it is still okay-ish to good.Using the productI have a wide desk, and put it to the left side of my chair, when I sit. When I walk, I put my chair there and roll the walking pad to where the chair was. So easily done, especially since the walking pad has some wheels on which you can move it easily.Here comes another small issue: The power cord connects at the side, where the wheels are. Which means, when you lift the walking pad at the other end to move it, you press the power cord towards the floor, potentially removing it partially from the socket or might result in some long term damage of either the cable or the port. So far I have seen no such effect, but there it is – a small design flaw. To prevent this, you have to unplug it, before moving (which is actually part of the user manual), which in turn might lose you the training data. But there it is. No biggy but something to watch out for.Also be advised that using a walking pad might accumulate quite some dust. You can see the result of one day on the pictures above. You might want to have a small vacuum at hand to regularly clean you working area. This should be the same for all walking pads however.Finally which is really nice, is that the walking pad detects whether you are still walking on it or not and shuts down after 2 seconds. This takes away the extra click from you, allows you to jump off the walking pad in case of urgency (e.g. door belll rings, kid gets hurt, etc.) and nothing bad happens or the walking pad continues to run for 2h until you get back. So plus for this.There is also an automatic mode, which I do not use – I just settle in for 3.5 km/h and I generally walk for 2h in the morning and 2h in the afternoon. This way I walk 14km a day with roughtly 20.000 steps. I mostly do desk work as a consultant, run workshops and meetings, create slides etc. Basically all can be done while walkign at 3.5 km/h. The only time I turn it off is when I really need to concentrate or do pixel perfect alignments in Miro or Powerpoint for example. Sometimes people will say they find it disturbing since you have this constant up and down motion in your video chats. However those were 3-4 people in round about 50-60 I worked with. I just shut it down then and continue working in a standing position.Does it get damaged while using?So far I can confirm, that the band is moving slightly left to right, depending on how you walk and put pressure on it. If you don’t notice it and put it back in the center (which is easy), then it starts to get a bit unfurled at the edge as it scratches on the frame. No serious damage, that makes the product unusable, even after 600km, but something to look out for and make sure you treat your product with care.I also had to instances where the walking pad suddenly got much louder than before. But somehow it disappeared again, before I could find a source for it. Happened 2-3 times in 600kmsFinal Recommendation:Though I pointed out the flaws of the product, I want to emphazise that the overall product experience is extremely solid, satisfying and useable day to day. I have been walking for 4h daily each workday since 4 months now and I have seen how it positively transformed my body. I took of 7 kilos as a slow but sustainable decrease and people started asking me about my more toned body and slimer face. It was THE answer for me to incorporate fitness into my daily routine as a working dad, as other ways failed on me completely, as I did not have the energy or time anymore after work to go out jogging or swimming.So, if you are looking for a walking pad, this is your safe buy 🙂 Thanks for reading

Super walking pad, je suis vraiment contente de mon achat !Les points positifs :→ Il se plie facilement, parfait pour gagner de la place.→ Le design est sobre et moderne, il se fond bien dans l’intérieur.→ Il est relativement silencieux, je peux l’utiliser sans gêner les voisins ou les autres personnes à la maison.→ L’application est très pratique pour suivre ses stats (nombre de pas, temps, vitesse, cardio…).→ Facile à mettre en route et à utiliser au quotidien.→ Les petites roulettes permettent de le déplacer sans effort (sur sol plat).Les points à améliorer selon moi :→ Il est quand même assez lourd, mais c’est le prix de la qualité.→ Il faut bien faire attention à bien replacer le tapis quand on le replie pour éviter les faux plis.→ Je le trouve un peu plus long que ce que j’avais imaginé (à vérifier selon l’espace disponible chez soi).→ Les roulettes ne roulent que dans un sens, donc ce n’est pas très pratique si on veut le faire glisser de côté dans un espace étroit.→ Pas de poignée pour le déplacer donc attention à bien le tenir quand on le relève.Globalement, je suis ravie ! C’est super pratique pour marcher en travaillant (sous un bureau) ou devant la télé. La vitesse va de 1 à 6 km/h ce qui est largement suffisant pour un usage maison. C’est vraiment devenu addictif, surtout les jours de pluie ou quand on n’a pas envie de sortir.Un très bon investissement pour bouger un peu plus au quotidien sans contrainte !
