Product Features

Folding design - The deck folds in half to 82.2 x 54.7 x 12.9 cm. What does that mean in a real home? It fits under most sofas and beds. Open, it measures 143.2 x 54.7 cm. So you can keep it out of sight in a small flat or home office. Two speed modes - Auto mode uses sensors to match your pace. Manual mode lets you set the speed with the remote or app. Which is better? Auto suits steady walking while you work. One reviewer found auto mode unresponsive though, so manual gives more control. Speed runs from 0.5 to 6 km/h. Walking area - The running board is 120 cm long and 41.5 cm wide. Is that enough for a normal stride? For walking at desk speeds yes. It has a shock-absorbing surface to reduce impact on joints. The maximum user weight is 100kg.
Quiet motor - The motor is rated at 2 horsepower and 735.5 watts. The platform sits 57 mm high to help cut noise. How loud is it in use? Reviews are mixed. Some people watch videos without headphones. Others hear it above 3 km/h or when stepping over the fold. App and remote - The KS Fit app logs steps, time, distance and calories. It connects by phone and one reviewer syncs it to Apple Health. Some people report bugs in the distance count. The remote is small and handy for changing speed without picking up your phone. Safety and support - A built-in child lock stops accidental starts. It is not suitable for children under 14 years. You get a one-year manufacturer warranty and lifetime email support. Note that one reviewer was quoted £180 for parts after two years. Amazon allows returns within 30 days.

FAQs

How much space does it need when folded and in use?

Folded, it measures 82.2 x 54.7 x 12.9 cm. That is low enough to slide under a sofa or bed. One reviewer said it sits about 5 inches high when folded and fits under their couch.

Open, the footprint is 143.2 cm deep and 54.7 cm wide. The running area is 120 x 41.5 cm. One reviewer found it a little longer than expected, so measure your floor space first.

The maker advises against storing it upright. It should stay flat. Two reviewers said they wished it could stand on its end.

How heavy is it and is it easy to move?

It weighs 28kg. Weight is the most common complaint. Of 41 customer mentions of weight, 36 were negative.

It does have wheels. Tilt the back and roll it on the front wheels. Several reviewers found this fine on hard floors. Others said the wheels only roll one way and that it has no handle.

Can you carry it upstairs alone? One reviewer managed it by gripping the folded body. Another found it too heavy and kept it downstairs. Think about where you will keep it before you buy.

Unplug the power cord before moving it. The manual says so. The cord sits at the wheel end and can be pressed into the floor when you lift the other end.

Is it quiet enough for calls and working?

It depends on who you ask. The motor and the low 57 mm platform are meant to keep noise down. Customer feedback on noise is split, with 16 positive mentions and 19 negative.

One reviewer watched videos without headphones and had no issue. Another said it gets louder from about 3 km/h. A third found footsteps noisy when they crossed the folding join.

Some people reported a squeak. Oiling the belt fixed it for some but made it worse for one buyer. A hard floor with a mat underneath tends to help.

What speeds does it offer and how do you control it?

Speed runs from 0.5 to 6 km/h. That suits walking. It is not meant for running, whatever the listing says about jogging. The motor is rated at 2 horsepower.

There are two modes. Auto Mode uses built-in sensors to match your pace. Manual Mode lets you set the speed with the remote or the KS Fit app.

How well does Auto Mode work? Reports vary. One reviewer found it unresponsive and said it kept ramping up and dropping back. Another used a steady 3.5 km/h for four hours a day without trouble.

The treadmill reportedly stops about 2 seconds after you step off. That helps if you need to leave in a hurry.

How good is the KS Fit app?

The app tracks steps, time, distance and calories. It connects over Bluetooth. One reviewer kept control of the treadmill when their wifi went down. Another synced it to Apple Health.

The weak spot is the data handling. Reviewers said the treadmill does not store which day you walked. If you skip opening the app for a few days the distance lands on the current day. One reviewer said the data is lost when the treadmill is unplugged.

Another reported random jumps in distance after an update. Step counts were close to a smartwatch for one person. The remote control works without the app and one reviewer called it buggy.

Who can use it and what is the weight limit?

The maximum user weight is 100kg. One reviewer weighing 60kg found it sturdy. Another who was 30kg under the limit felt the motor was underpowered.

The deck is 41.5 cm wide. That is fine for walking at a desk. It has no handrails. If you need something to hold, this is not the right model.

It has a built-in child lock to stop accidental starts. It is not suitable for children under 14 and needs adult supervision.

The same brand makes models with higher limits. The A1 Pro is rated to 136kg and has the same deck size.

Does it need assembly or ongoing maintenance?

No assembly is needed. Unfold it and plug it in. The only item in the box besides the treadmill is the remote.

The belt is the main job. Two reviewers found it came off-centre and needed a lot of tightening and loosening. One reported that the company arranged a video call to help. Walking on the belt between adjustments makes it easier to see progress.

A belt that drifts can fray at the edge where it rubs the frame. Keep it centred. Check the belt when you fold it as one reviewer saw it peek out of the top.

One reviewer applies silicone oil under the belt every three months. Another suggests a mat and a vacuum nearby because dust builds up.

What warranty and support come with it?

There is a one-year manufacturer warranty that covers defects. Support is by lifetime email. Amazon also gives a 30-day return window for items in original condition.

What happens after the warranty ends? One reviewer's treadmill threw a motor error a little over two years in. Support told them to pay for parts and fit them. They said repair needs a lot of disassembly.

Others had better dealings. One reported a quick, helpful response after a damaged box arrived and got a discount. Another said support was friendly and fast. Experiences vary so keep your proof of purchase.

WalkingPad P1 Folding Treadmill - Under Desk Treadmill for Home Office Specs

WalkingPad P1 Specs

# WalkingPad P1 Folding Treadmill (WPP1F) ## Overview The WalkingPad P1 is a foldable walking treadmill made by WALKINGPAD (model WPP1F). It is built for walking at a desk or in front of the television. It reaches 6 km/h so it is a walking machine rather than a running one. Amazon lists the colour as light grey. The brand was established in 2015 and says its WalkingPad range has sold in 57 countries. The P1 is made in China and has been on sale for about three years. ## Size and weight Unfolded the P1 measures 143.2 cm long by 54.7 cm wide by 12.9 cm high. Folded it measures 82.2 x 54.7 x 12.9 cm. It folds in half so the belt length halves while the width and height stay the same. One reviewer measured the folded height at about 5 inches (12.7 cm) and it slides under a sofa. The manufacturer does not recommend storing it upright. It must stay flat. The machine weighs 28kg. Weight is the most common complaint in reviews. Of 41 mentions of weight 36 were negative. Reviewers say it is hard to carry upstairs and hard to move in a tight space. Wheels at one end let you tilt it and roll it. One reviewer says the wheels only roll in one direction. There is no carry handle. The power cord plugs into the same end as the wheels. Lifting the other end can push the cord against the floor. The manual says to unplug it before moving it. ## Running area and frame The running board measures 120 cm by 41.5 cm. It has shock absorption. The platform sits 57 mm off the floor. The makers say this lowers noise. The frame is a lightweight aluminium alloy. The maximum user weight is 100kg. One reviewer who weighs 60kg found it sturdy. Another reviewer said the motor felt underpowered even at 30kg under the limit. ## Motor and speed The motor is rated at 2 horsepower with an input power of 735.5 watts. Speed runs from 0.5 to 6 km/h. Some French reviewers describe a range of 1 to 6 km/h. It runs from mains power through a cord. One reviewer measured about £5 a month in electricity with 2 to 4 hours of daily use. There are two speed modes: - Auto mode (A Mode): sensors adjust the speed to your pace as you speed up or slow down. One reviewer found it unresponsive and said it cycled between full speed and the lowest speed. - Manual mode (M Mode): you set the speed with the remote control or the KS Fit app. One reviewer says the belt stops about 2 seconds after you step off. Reviewers describe walking speeds between 1 and 4.5 km/h while working. ## Controls and app A remote control comes in the box. The KS Fit app tracks steps and time. It also tracks distance and calories. One reviewer says it feeds data to Apple Health. Reviewers connected by Bluetooth with the phone and the machine still worked when the Wi-Fi went down. Reviews of the app are mixed: - It does not store daily totals on the machine. - Data can be lost if you unplug the machine. - Step counts can read high after updates. - One reviewer found step counts close to a smartwatch. A child lock stops accidental starts. The manufacturer says the machine is not suitable for children under 14 years and should be used under adult supervision. There are no handrails. ## Set-up and care No assembly is needed. You unfold the machine and plug it in. Several reviewers had to centre the belt. One reviewer had to adjust it a lot and another needed a video call with support. Reviewers also report these care points: - Belt lubrication with silicone oil about every 3 months. Oil is not included. One listed 200 ml bottle of 100% pure silicone treadmill lubricant costs £10.49. - Checking the belt position during use. It can drift and fray at the edge against the frame. - Pushing the belt back in when folding. It can poke out at the top. - Placing it on hard flooring. One reviewer scuffed a wood floor and another laid laminate over carpet. - A treadmill mat. A 180 x 75 cm mat is listed at £22.19. - Vacuuming dust from the floor around it. ## Noise The makers call the motor ultra quiet. Reviews are split with 16 positive and 19 negative comments about noise. Some say it is quiet enough to use during calls and while watching videos. Others report squeaking or whining and a louder sound over the folding join. One reviewer said noise from the belt rises above 3 km/h. ## Durability and support The warranty is 1 year for manufacturer defects. Lifetime email support is included. One reviewer reported a motor error after a little over 2 years. The company quoted £180 for replacement parts that the owner had to fit. Another reviewer says the warranty gives full cover for only 3 months. Other reviewers praised the support team and one received a discount for damaged packaging. The seller offers a 30-day return period. ## Comparison with other WalkingPad models | Model | Max speed | Max user weight | Walking area | Weight | |---|---|---|---|---| | P1 | 6 km/h | 100kg | 41.5 x 120 cm | 28kg | | Z1 | 6 km/h | 110kg | 40 x 121 cm | 23kg | | A1 Pro | 6 km/h | 136kg | 41.5 x 120 cm | 28.5kg | | X218 | 18 km/h | 136kg | 50 x 140 cm | 59.5kg | | R3 Hybrid+ | 12 km/h | 120kg | 44 x 120 cm | 40.9kg | The P1, Z1 and A1 Pro all have a remote and app support.

I wrote this from the JSON you supplied and did no further research. I left out the Amazon listing's "Alloy Steel" frame entry because the bullets say aluminium alloy. I also left out the "47.24 inches" display size because it matches the 120 cm deck length and not a screen. The speed range follows the listing at 0.5 to 6 km/h.
