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

This is actually my second time buying a WalkingPad, and it’s still the best for small spaces. The patented folding design is the real winner here; it folds completely in half, which is a lifesaver if you don’t have a dedicated gym room. It’s extremely quiet, so I can use it during Zoom calls without anyone noticing the background noise. The only downside is that it’s quite heavy, so while it has wheels, moving it between floors isn't fun. But for a no-assembly, reliable under-desk treadmill, it’s worth every penny.

Giving five stars, even though I returned it. First, why I'm giving it five stars, then why I returned it. Before I started looking for a walking treadmill a few weeks ago, I thought they had to be (a) massive and (b) expensive, because all the walking treadmills I had seen were both (a) and (b). I.e., they looked like running treadmills with the console removed. This is a proper walking treadmill: it works as advertised, there's barely any space required besides the walking area of the deck, it's not too loud, the controls are simple, and there are no annoying frills (I don't have to install an app, or tell it my fitness goals, or log in, etc.). I've only owned it for a few weeks, so I can't speak to durability. I don't plan to fold it, so I can't comment on whether that creates wear or makes it any easier to store. The reason I returned it, which is still going to be a compliment to the WalkingPad brand: I initially bought the Z1, but returned it in favor of the C2 because - my fault - I didn't realize the Z1's lowest speed is 1.0mph, the C2 goes down to 0.5mph. I'm not using this for exercise, I'm using this because I have all kinds of hip issues and it's really helpful for me to keep my legs moving all day. But that's on me, and otherwise they are very similar.

We rarely write reviews, but I'm reaching out to the seller because email inquiries have gone unanswered. This light, foldable treadmill is perfect for a multi-position standing desk and gives you the best of both worlds. It unfolds and keeps you walking when standing, and folds away nicely for times when you're sitting. The speed ramps up nicely, not too fast, not too slow, and the remote control is intuitive and responsive. ...here comes the but. After a few weeks of use, the left side of the belt frayed (pictures below). We reached out to the seller a few times...crickets. If the seller reads this, we would be happy to adjust the rating. We remain optimistic that you will respond. UPDATE: As promised, here is the update. The seller reached out after reading the post and generously offered a full refund. I explained that the treadmill is exactly what I was looking for and asked if there was a way to replace the belt. They immediately responded with a "yes" and sent a replacement belt, along with a link to a video on how to replace it. The belt arrived in a few days, the video was straightforward to follow, and now the treadmill is working flawlessly. Thank you to the seller who provided excellent customer service.

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!

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.

This has been a game changer for increasing my daily steps, especially on work-from-home days. It fits neatly under my desk and can be stored in a corner when not in use, which is ideal as space is limited. The walking pad is easy to move around and feels stable underfoot. I mainly use it while working and the speed adjustment works well for light walking without being distracting. It’s not a replacement for a full treadmill, but for steady walking during the day it does exactly what it’s meant to do. A practical option if you want to be more active without setting aside extra time to exercise. Would recommend for home office use.

Since I started working from home, I struggled to find time for exercise, especially walking. I used to enjoy my daily walks but found it hard to fit them in with my busy work schedule. That’s when I decided to try the Walking Pad, and I’m so glad I did! If you’re someone who works from home and wants to stay active, this is the perfect solution. I’ve replaced my chair with the Walking Pad during work hours, and I’m now able to get my steps in without disrupting my day. It’s amazing how quickly I can hit my step goal (I aim for 7,000–10,000 steps a day), and it doesn’t take nearly as much time as I thought! What I Love About It: Super Convenient & Foldable – One of the best features is that it’s foldable and incredibly easy to move. I can store it away when I’m not using it, so it doesn’t take up much space in my home office. Effortless Integration into Work – I just walk slowly while answering emails or joining calls. It’s a great way to stay active without sacrificing productivity. Quiet & Smooth – The Walking Pad operates quietly, so it doesn’t disrupt my work or calls. Plus, it has a smooth walking surface that feels very comfortable, even after long sessions. Achieve Your Fitness Goals – I’m constantly amazed at how quickly I hit my step targets. It’s motivating to see my step count climb while I’m working, and it’s made a big difference in my overall activity level. If you work from home and want an easy way to stay fit, I highly recommend the Walking Pad. It’s a total game-changer for staying active without needing to take time out of your day for a separate workout. This has been a fantastic addition to my daily routine!

This foldable walking pad does what it’s supposed to do. It’s compact, folds easily, and setup was simple. For the price, it’s a good value compared to a lot of the higher-priced options. There are tradeoffs. The bottom isn’t really protected, and the tread sometimes bumps the side, which has led to a little fraying where it rubs. It’s a bit loud. It’s not light, and the small wheels don’t help much, so moving it takes some effort. You either need to pick it up and drag it or find the right angle to roll it. If you want a space-saving walking pad that’s cheaper than most and you can live with some noise and occasional wear on the belt edge, this is a solid pick. If you need quiet or plan to move it often, look elsewhere. Pros: • Folds and stores easily • Very easy setup • Compact footprint • Good value for the price Cons: • Bottom has little to no protection • Belt can rub the side and fray a bit • A little loud • Heavy for its size, small wheels make it hard to move
