WALKINGPAD A1 Pro Walking Pad Folding Treadmill Smart Walk Slim Foldable Exercise Fitness Equipment Under Desk Running Indoor Outdoor Gym Maximum Load: 300 Lbs black

Overall: I've been using this treadmill consistently for almost 3 months now. I'm very pleased with this machine. To the point that I've recommended it to a couple of friends already (although, they are unable to accommodate this type of purchase at this time. But they want to get it someday). Prior to getting this treadmill, I wouldn't be able to get in a daily walk. I'd try, but going outside in the Midwest can be difficult if the weather is being a pain. On top of that, I have other responsibilities, interests, hobbies, etc...Setting aside a minimum 30min to take a walk every day isn't that difficult. But, there's only so many hours in a day to accomplish everything I want to do. I used to have to make sure I scheduled appropriately so that everything would get done that needed done. With this treadmill (and the setup I have it in) I can multitask so many things. I have it set up at my desk with my computer, and a TV above the monitors. Various things I've been able to accomplish while using this unit: my digital photos are organized beautifully, my bills are paid up and budget is more detailed, I've designed multiple designs for various hobbies, I work from home sometimes, I've watched movies and ate dinner at my desk. That's just some of it. I get significantly more things accomplished AND haven't had this much exercise in years.Comfort: I will say...wear the right shoes. I've walked wearing my well-fitted slippers before. Usually because of a spur of the moment idea to hop on and check an email quickly, but I end up sidetracked and doing a lot of other things. When this would happen, I'd end up with a lot of foot pain. When I wear my Hoka sneakers, I'm great. Never any foot/ankle/knee discomfort. Just muscle pains from walking way too much and forgetting to stretch before & after.Length: It's perfect for me. My desk is 3ft deep. I have the head of the treadmill just 2" or so shy of meeting the back of my desk. I'm 5'2", so I have a short stride. But for me, it's perfect. I can walk just towards the back (but not all the way to the back where I might slip off). This does mean I have to use the Manual feature, but that's okay with me. The Auto feature made me nervous anyways (just a personal preference thing and NOT anything against the feature itself). With the length it has, and my short stride, I have minimal need to move it in and out from my desk.The fold: It's easy to fold it. I don't fold it often, but sometimes when I realize I've gotten hyper focused on a project and have been walking for many hours, I decide I should take a break. What I do is push the whole treadmill back the last 2" or so inches that I have before it hits the wall/back of my desk. Then I fold it and I can still pull my high-sitting chair up to my desk and use it. I do have to make sure the chair legs are aligned properly with the treadmill, and it does touch the treadmill in order for me to sit the appropriate distance from the desk. However, I thoroughly enjoy having this choice, and especially enjoy the minimal movement required. The first under desk treadmill I tried didn't fold, and I had to do a lot more to get it moved around so I could use my chair.Calibration: I've only had to use the calibration feature once, when I was doing some minor adjustments to the belt. I appreciate this feature. The under desk treadmill prior to this one, and that one was a PAIN to calibrate. If it didn't sense someone was on the treadmill, it shut off. Now, this was a nice safety feature, but when trying to calibrate and check belt slippage issues, that wasn't helpful. This machine does not have that type of issue and I found working with it, in this context, to be very easy.Safety: There's no safety feature, which I'm actually okay with. That's because I only use my treadmill when I'm at my desk. My hands/forearms are always resting on my desk, which keep me steady. The only time I've had any safety concern is when a family member will walk in and try to have an in depth conversation with me. I've tripped once while trying to turn my head to look at them during a conversation. Now, we keep the talks short while I'm walking, or if they know it's going to be longer then they let me know and I stop the machine.Display: I'm not a huge fan of the fact that the display clears away all information when you stop the machine. There's no pause option. In another stage of life, it would have been a deal breaker (when I was tracking my workouts better). However, I'm at a point in life where I just don't care to track it anymore. I know that I walk a minimum of 30min a day, significantly more on weekends. I don't even pay attention to the display anymore (except to occasionally see what speed I'm at).Speed: I rarely fiddle with it. The starting speed is 1mph. That's usually what I stick with. I might bring it up to 1.5mph once in a while. But usually the standard 1mph is perfectly fine for me. If I'm working on computer design stuff, which requires me to be more careful/detail oriented, I stick with 1mph. However, this morning all I've been doing is paying bills, checking email, reading Reddit, and writing this review. So I've been using 1.5mph. It's my personal preference to keep it lower, but I have gone up to 2mph before. But, with how I multitask when I use the machine, I keep it slow and steady.Belt slippage: None. I remember reading reviews before buying where people complained about the belt slipping and having troubles getting it aligned right. My thought process when I ignored these: What is the likelihood these were user error issues? In the chance they weren't, my husband and I are both mechanically inclined individuals. I figured we'd be able to sort it out if I encountered that issue.At one point I did fiddle with the screws a little, to make sure alignment was good. I did the calibration feature during that time. I've never had a problem since. Now, I will say that when you fold it, the belt does lose tension and can move around. All that means is when you unfold it to use it again, before you "click it" open, check how the belt aligns at the very back/along the tracks. If it's not centered well, then when it still has some slack you just move it a little to where you want it to be. As long as the adjustments are appropriately set, you should only have centering issues when you're folding and unfolding and it should stay in place ones you have it centered. That's how it is for me.Remote: No issues with the remote. It's easy to function. Never had connectivity issues. I keep it sitting on my desk, next to my mouse and keyboard. I've had to change the battery once already, but that's fine. The batteries aren't expensive (CR2032) and I never expect the stock batteries that devices come with to have a long life.Bluetooth: Never even tried it. Can't comment on it. I don't have an interested in another app on my phone.

(So I bought this treadmill a week ago, and now it seems like it's being discontinued. Still, I'll write this review just in case people are still researching it, and I do have some tips about the app).This is a long one, so tl;dr:- Well built, appears and feels sturdy. Idk how long it'll last, though.- Folds well, wheels are nice. NO HANDLE to manipulate it.- App is clunky and buggy but I managed to make it work with my Apple Watch and sync with the Health App. Read below for details.- Remote and onboard screen are great.- Automatic mode isn't. Manual works just fine and is the only one I use.- Didn't come with a battery for the remote, or silicon oil- This is NOT a running treadmill.- You will want to wear cushioned shoes.- On hardwood floors, please use a treadmill mat.- Things I want to see: smaller increments for speed changes, a pause function in the app, and a new app.I decided on this treadmill as a middle-of-the-road item - figured it'd be good enough for me to try this whole walking desk thing and see if it works for me, while avoiding the cheapest ones, and also not shelling out too much money in case it's not my thing (it was on sale). And if it is, well, I can always upgrade next year. It came recommended by a friend who's been using one for up to 10 hours a day for months before upgrading to a more expensive one and giving this one to his wife (the guy is a freak. He walks 100% of his working time.)(1) Unboxing. It came in a fairly standard box, and was well packaged. I had a little fun getting it out of there, but I managed just fine on my own (you will need a fairly big floor space to do that.) The treadmill is fully assembled, all you have to do is remove the packaging, unfold it, and plug it in.Of note, mine did NOT come with a battery for the remote (seriously, Kingsmith?!) but I had one in the junk drawer. It also did NOT come with silicon oil, so I'll have to buy that separately.Then I took it upstairs to my home office. That was also a little bit of fun, since it's about 60lbs and a square shape that's rather awkward to carry, but again, I managed just fine on my own. It does NOT have any kind of handle, which would make it A LOT easier to carry or push around on the front wheels.(2) Setup. Setup is easy. Plug in, switch on, download the app (or not) and start walking. It's initially limited to a slow 2.5kph speed, until you either complete a 1km walk (or is it 1 mile?) or undergo the "Novice Guide" on the app. Bit annoying but I do appreciate the sentiment behind this. However, I was only able to complete the first half of the novice guide (manual), and it bugged when starting the second half (automatic). The treadmill switched to Automatic just fine but the app didn't detect it, and I had to reset the treadmill to get it back to manual and try again (even the remote didn't let me switch back.)The remote is nice, and easy to operate - although it's black with black etched markings, so those are barely visible. The treadmill's onboard screen is really nice and super easy to read. You can customize which info it shows in the app, but you can't customize how fast it loops though it.(3) Use. Well, it's only been a week, but so far this thing has been meeting my expectations. It feels sturdy and well made, it doesn't wobble at all (mine is sitting on fairly thick bedroom carpet). The belt was straight out of the box. I've been walking anywhere between 15 and 45 minutes several times a day, while working, and found it easy to use, and effective. I do really appreciate that it can be folded up and out of the way when I want to sit (or make my office less cluttered).I was concerned that the belt width would be too small, but it's not. 16" works just fine for me. The length is also good, and I have long legs (I'm 5'11"). Top speed (6kph) lets me do a really fast walk or slow jog (wouldn't jog on this thing regularly, but it was nice as a quick 5' warmup before y outdoor morning run.)One thing though, if you're used to running treadmills - the deck is HARD. It's a thin belt running on top of hard plastic. There is no give - I can't fathom how some people can walk for hours without cushioned shoes. I wear my old running shoes and keep them indoors only.(3) Automatic mode? Yeah, not for me. I didn't manage to make that work. It tends to stop and start abruptly, trying to eject you, and the middle zone where you're supposed to do most of your walk isn't well defined and too small. Doesn't feel too safe. Manual mode works great, though.(4) The app. Oh, it's clunky and a little buggy. It's got a very bad rating, which is probably deserved, but I did manage to make it work with Apple Health and get credit for steps, exercise minutes and calories, after some fiddling around (and close my rings :))If you wear an Apple Watch (or any fitness watch), it won't record most of your walking sessions on its own, because if you're working, you won't be moving your arm. So if you want that to happen, you either have to wear your watch on your ankle (!) or figure out how to get the data in there through the app. Here's what I did:- In Apple Health, change the priority for apps in Steps, Active Energy and "Running + Walking Distance". For each one of those, scroll down to open "Data Source and Access", tap Edit. In the Data Source list, drag KS Fit on top, so it has a higher priority than your phone *and* your watch. Now you'll get credit whenever you use the app (either on the phone or the watch), assuming it syncs correctly (!).- I mostly use the app on my Watch. It's a little buggy and slow to respond/sync with the treadmill, but it works. It will *not* record and actual workout, but it will start the "workout" function (if you have the stock workout complication, you can see the little man run), and will contribute to your move, exercise and stand rings, without recording an actual workout (which I think is good. If you want that, start an Indoor Walk manually.)- When you finish your walk, however, is where things get a little dicey. First, the Apple workout function won't stop. I work around that by manually starting a stock workout of any type and stopping it immediately (anything below a minute won't be saved.) Second, it may or may not sync your walk data correctly with Health (especially the steps and calories.) To make sure you get it all in, open the KS Fit app on your phone, connect it to the treadmill, and it will sync automatically. Do this before starting another walk, because it doesn't seem like the treadmill's memory will save two of those.- The Watch app is pretty barebones, but it does what it's supposed to do. It is, however, super slow to sync with the treadmill when you want to change speed or get real-time data.

I did a good amount of on line research about this product and these under desk treadmills in general. I have my fears, especially given the price of this one. But the folding feature is helpful for me. I can fold it and push it forward under my desk and then I can stand and work. My chair has a few issues because I can't push it forward enough as there is a wall in front of my desk. I am working on this issue, will have to report back. I wish I could stand it on its side for storage but they warn about not doing this so I am not. I have had the treadmill for a few days and so far I am loving it. I am being careful about the tread and keeping it centered. So far it has a tendency to drift to the left but it does not go all the way to rubbing. I am still playing with the adjustment capabilities. Some of it may have to do with how I walk and the angle of the machine in relation to my desk. I am testing all these variables to see. I have not had it long enough to have answers. but I was very impressed with the packaging and instructions were adequate. I use the remote and/or the app to operate and both are adequate so far. Related to my work flow, I could use a pause ability which does not exist unfortunately (5 seconds is not long enough for my needs). But this is not a big deal - I just want to get moving while I am working and so far so good. Sitting long times is not great, standing for long times is not great - and walking, as a natural motion feels good. I have to wear workout clothing when I am working as I can get a real vigorous walk going if I want. I have to figure out how best to work it into my day. Ill have to update my review once some more time has passed. Oh, also the noise is not bad My microphone does not pick it up - its like white noise in the background I think.
