This works very well for me. I use it daily. I only run it at 3 mph, so don't know about higher speeds. The handle is mandatory for me, for balance. It is heavy, so moving it around is problematic for me. I would not want to move it daily. Initially, the walking pad moved significantly off center and the procedures to adjust it did not work. They sent a replacement (fortunately I had kept the box!) and the replacement has not had the problem. (I think there was a way to fix the initial problem, but my grandson discovered it too late.) It is very quiet and the remote works just fine. I don't use the phone app. I wish I could walk at 3.3 mph, but will probably be able to move to the next increment of 3.5 in the future. Read more
I absolutely love my R2 Walking Pad! It has been a fantastic addition to my fitness routine. I'm a 40+ BW, weighing 133lbs, living in a small studio apartment and in need of a walking pad that would fit my fitness lifestyle. The folding feature makes it easy to store, which is great for small spaces. It was a little heavy to maneuver at first, but after consistent use (and getting stronger!), it’s much easier to handle. The walking pad runs smoothly and allows me to walk and even do a slow jog without any issues. The build quality feels sturdy, and I haven’t had any problems with functionality so far. I've been using it for about 3 months now. The setup was quick and easy, and I love that I can connect it to the app to turn it on/off and adjust settings effortlessly. It makes the experience even more convenient! If you’re looking for a sturdy, compact, and reliable walking pad, this is definitely worth it! Read more
After a bit of back and forth, I finally decided to bite the bullet and invest in a walk pad for my home gym. After performing a bit of research and reading a ton of reviews, I narrowed it down to the Goplus 2 In 1 Folding Treadmill and the WalkingPad R2 Treadmill. The question now was, which would I choose? While they are both basic walking pads, there are very big differences between the two. The first major one being the price point. Here on Amazon the Goplus is listed at a moderate price of $285.99 for the basic black colored model, but the WalkingPad as you know lists at a whopping $899, which gets slightly a bit more palatable at $799 with the $100 discount code. While the Goplus is as bare bones as you can get (easy to collapse for running or walking options and is lighter) and more cost efficient I ultimately opted for the WalkingPad and here’s why. First is the look. I like the sleek, more modern look that makes it stand out from most regular models out here. The height of the bar is adjustable which I found super useful as I am tall and love having that option to switch up. I also like the fact that it’s foldable and can stand up on its own, so you can hide under a couch or be tucked away in a corner, which is very helpful. Is it perfect? No. The pad weighs about 80lbs, so I suggest positioning it in a way where it’s easy to use the wheels. If you end up needing to lift it for some reason and are not that strong then it might be a bit problematic for you. Collapsing the bar, while not the worst thing in the world, can get a bit tedious as you need to unwind the lever and rewind whenever you want to use or stow it away. A button or latch would have been way less tedious. Now for the running experience. I have been using it for exactly a month now and love it. I use it mostly for walking anywhere in between the 3.6 – 4 mph range and it’s been a comfortable experience overall. Every few runs I might feel a light skid here and there, but I’ve tried other pads that have exhibited much more skidding, providing a worse experience. To me that wasn’t a big deal and I'm satisfied. The iPhone app isn’t that bad; I use it every run but do notice it disconnects from the Walkingpad frequently and there does seem to be some disconnect when synced with the Apple Watch. The remote is easy to use and helpful and I do like the safety clip on feature which has saved me a few times when I wasn’t paying attention. Unfortunately, I haven’t gone higher than 4.0 mph (although I did test it once on 6.5 mph) so I can’t speak for high-speed running, but I’m sure there aren’t any issues running daily. Overall while the price was way higher than what I anticipated, it's been a month in I’m super hapy with the WalkingPad R2 and would highly recommend it to others. If you’re not in the position to spend $799 plus (I got it for $720 on Black Friday) then the Goplus might be the better buy. Either way you’ll be a winner. Read more
Using it at work under my standing desk to get some exercise since I'm not as active with my new job. Works great and it's easy to set up. The speaker is quieter than other walking pads I've tried in the past which is nice since I don't want to be disruptive to my office neighbors (constant beeping from starting or stopping or changing speed). I don't like that it has a limit on walking speed when you first get it (unlocks higher speeds after the user walks 6 miles on it) but you can bypass this if you use the mobile app so it has an easy fix. Folds and unfolds well. You can feel the fold line when you walk on it but it's not really a problem as far as walking. Machine runs pretty quiet and I haven't had complaints about noise from co-workers. It's a bit on the heavy side but once set up, it's easy to move with it's wheels, just make sure the cord is unplugged from the unit so it can roll and then stand up against a wall when folded. Has a nice size walking area so I don't feel like I'm cramped into a small walking space (I'm 5'7" if that helps for perspective). Takes up little space once folded. Hard to determine durability since I just got it, but it feels quite durable and doesn't seem to be cheaply made. Read more
Love my walking pad. I have been using it for several months and have been very happy with it. I don't use the app, and just use my Apple watch for workout and heart rate tracking. I routinely run 5K distances at anywhere from 4.5-5.5mph and have been very happy with the unit. It is a HEAVY device though. You really need two people to move it very far - like in from outside into the basement. No issues for me so far. Read more
