I love the compact capability and it works well. I just don’t like that where the treadmill folds makes a crackling and sticky popping sound. It’s quite obnoxious and gets louder and more frequent the faster I go. The only way I can make it stop sometimes is if I walk on the very outsides of the treadmill which doesn’t really make it natural for walking.

Got it today, and it goes well beyond my expectations! Great built quality, silent even at 12 km/h, app works seamlessly and connects in 3 sec. All training data are quite reliable (made a comparison with my calibrated Garmin smartwatch). Sure: it lacks some efficient shock absorbers but in the end if you have good running shoes (I do have a pair of excellent ASICS Nimbus) you have nothing to worry about. It has NFC, bluetooth, WIFI ... so plenty of connectivity, and data are correctly sent to my Apple Health app (dunno with Google). For its price it's really worth the purchase if you live in a tiny apartment like me.
I stumbled upon a YouTube short video while I was looking for best compact treadmill and I'm glad I saw a customer review on the Walking Pad. I live in small townhome so I have limited space. The Walking Pad x21 is perfect for what I need. I store it in the closet under the stairs or sometimes when I'm too tired, i wheel it to the small corner of my living room and it's not an eye sore. I love how compact it is but surprisingly and especially how sturdy it is. It can go up to 7.5 miles/hours, granted I don't run on it but that is a pretty fast for the size. I do however run short bursts up to 5 miles/hour for about 15 minutes then go back to walking for my exercise. The walking pad is perfect and I can tell it will last me for a long time.
The Walking Pad arrived a week after we ordered it. The packaging was in great shape and the machine was well protected. It was completely assembled and ready to go as soon as we put some silicone oil under the belt. The oil is not included but is easy to find at local stores. Turned it on and it works great. My wife and I are retired and walk outside when weather allows. The Walking Pad allows us to walk when weather is bad outside and we’ve even been using it for extra steps in the evenings while watching TV. Quiet and smooth so far.
Absolutely AMAZING!!!!!! I moved into a smaller house and had to get rid of my old treadmill. I can’t believe I’ve now got one that is just as good and folds away and just slips into a small space. I love everything about it. The design is sleek and ergonomic. The display is great and it’s quiet. Massive fan!
Fabulous! It's a little bit bigger than I expected and measured for in real life, but the ability to fold up and store in the cupboard is great. It's got wheels so it's easy to push around. Gets up to good speed, no sticky-ness when in operation and you don't feel the fold section when running or walking on it. Delivery was fast and setting up is easy.
