Sperax P2 Pro Review

The Sperax P2 Pro is a 2-in-1 device combining a walking pad and a vibration plate with a manual incline of up to 10 %. At 14 kg (31 lb) it is extremely light, arrives pre-assembled and can be used straight away. It loses points for noise, because the fan kicks in audibly from time to time. Important: the model is no longer sold; in the buy box I link a comparable alternative.

Sperax P2 Pro review

Below I share my ratings from the test in detail.

Safety notice: on 16 April 2026 the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) warned consumers to stop using Sperax walking pads and treadmills, models Pro, Q1, RM-01 and RM-02, citing reports of sudden speed changes and abrupt stops as well as overheating and fires. The warning covers units sold in the US. You will find the model name on the label near the power switch. Details are in the CPSC warning.

This is a single review. All eleven models I tested, with a comparison table, are in my big walking pad review. You can find all my other walking pad and treadmill reviews in the walking pad category.

Design & build quality β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜† (4.2/5)

The P2 Pro is compact, light and modern. The black design with red accents looks high-quality, and the build is solid overall. The low weight makes handling extremely easy, but at the same time you notice that it does not quite reach the stability of a heavy treadmill.

Detailed review

The rating tables above give you a quick overview, but numbers alone do not tell the whole story. What does the vibration mode really feel like? Here is my detailed test log, based on my video review and the daily kilometres at my desk.

Unboxing and first impression

The delivery arrives securely packed and weighs only about 17 kg in total. That means you can carry the package into your flat on your own. The unit is largely pre-assembled, so no complicated assembly is needed.

Besides the walking pad, the box contains:

  • Power cable
  • Silicone oil for maintenance
  • L-shaped Allen key
  • Remote control (without batteries)
  • User manual

Preparation: oiling and first start

Before the first use, you should lubricate the treadmill. I used the supplied silicone oil and laid the unit on its side so the oil runs evenly under the belt. In general, I oil treadmills as soon as friction noises increase or when they have not been used for a longer time.

After inserting the batteries into the remote and connecting it to the mains, the pad can be started immediately. The starting speed is very low (0.3 km/h) and increases by 0.1 km/h with every press of the button, ideal for a slow start and fine speed control.

Vibration function: more than just walking

The special feature of the P2 Pro is the vibration plate. Before starting, stand sideways and position yourself securely, because the vibration starts immediately when you press the button. There are four vibration modes:

  • Gentle mode
  • Strong mode
  • Light waves
  • Strong waves

The vibration is felt up to about hip level and runs for 5 minutes by default; it can be stopped manually at any time. In practice, it relaxed my legs noticeably after walking, better than expected.

Display and controls

The display is minimalist but shows everything essential: incline in percent, time, speed, steps and distance. For most users, that is sufficient and clear.

Testing the incline: 5 % and 10 % via the locking mechanism

The height adjustment works via a mechanical locking mechanism. Simply lift the front, and the pad locks at 5 %; lifting further gives you the 10 % level. To lower it again, you lift the unit slightly higher once more. The construction is safe and stable.

I tested both levels. At 5 %, walking felt pleasantly challenging; at 10 %, it became noticeably more strenuous, and you really start to sweat. I weigh about 86 kg (190 lb) and am 1.86 m tall; the training surface (105 x 42 cm) was sufficient for me.

App functions and Bluetooth

The Sperax Fitness app connects via Bluetooth and offers more than just remote control:

  • Tracking of walks
  • Training programs combining walking and vibration phases
  • Creating your own training plans
  • Display of fan activity and placement tips

A note on units: mine was set to mph by default; you can switch to km/h in the settings. The maximum display of 3.8 mph corresponds to about 6 km/h. Training programs run automatically and give a warning signal before speed changes, practical and safe.

The only point of criticism here: if you have already started the workout and only open the app later, the ongoing session is not synchronised. That would be a practical improvement.

Safety: mode changes only when stopped

Switching between walking and vibration only works when the unit is stopped in the respective mode. While the pad is running, the vibration function cannot be activated, and vice versa. That is an important safety feature that prevents accidents.

10,000-step test: durability and everyday suitability

I tested whether the pad can handle 10,000 steps without a break. Result: yes. In around 2 hours, the P2 Pro managed the 10,000 steps well. In between, I walked 15 minutes each at 5 % and 10 %.

Key technical data that matters:

  • Max. load: 120 kg
  • Weight: approx. 14 kg
  • Training surface: 105 x 42 cm
  • Overall dimensions: 112.5 x 56.5 cm
  • Height: 9.5 cm (can be stored under furniture)

Fan noise and heat dissipation

During longer sessions, a fan switches on regularly to cool the motor. It is clearly audible and sometimes runs on after the workout. For me, this is the biggest wish for improvement: quieter fan control or better insulation.

Design, transport and storage

The pad looks high-quality in black with red accents. Thanks to its low weight and the transport wheels, it is easy to move around the room. Alternatively, you can stand it upright; make sure it cannot tip over.

Sperax P2 Pro: speed in perspective – 6 km/h as the ceiling

6 km/h (3.7 mph) sounds modest on the spec sheet, but it isn’t in everyday desk use: hardly anyone walks faster than about 4 km/h (2.5 mph) while typing anyway. That makes the P2 Pro a pure walking device. Running isn’t intended, and no training program changes that.

What’s interesting is how the unit compensates for the missing speed: intensity here comes from the incline rather than the pace. If you want to raise the effort, you don’t speed up, you raise the front. Conversely, the belt starts at 0.3 km/h (0.2 mph) and increases in 0.1 km/h steps, which is finer than on many larger models and helps with a slow start. I work out which pace you need for which goal in my guide on Walking Pad speed.

Sperax P2 Pro at the desk: deck height and running surface

At 9.5 cm (3.7 in) overall height, the P2 Pro is the flattest unit I’ve tested so far; only the effective deck height of the KUIPERS K1, at around 7 cm (2.8 in), is lower. In practice that means you only need to raise your desk a little above your usual sitting height, and on some fixed-height standing desks it’s the only reason it fits at all. I work out the right height for you in my guide on desk height and deck height.

Walking on the low-profile Sperax P2 Pro at the desk, with a stopwatch on a tablet beside it

The running surface measures 105 x 42 cm (41.3 x 16.5 in), making it narrower than the larger models in my test line-up. At 1.86 m (6’1”) tall, it was enough for me, but I do walk more deliberately to stay in the track. If you tend to drift sideways while working, or if you’re noticeably taller, keep that in mind. The 120 kg (265 lb) load rating is the manufacturer’s figure; I weigh 86 kg (190 lb) and can only confirm what I walked myself.

Sperax P2 Pro: why it doesn’t fold, and what that means day to day

The P2 Pro doesn’t fold. It’s built as a single piece, and that’s both the reason it’s so flat and the reason it needs more floor space to store than a foldable model. Its footprint stays at 112.5 Γ— 56.5 cm (44.3 Γ— 22.2 in) no matter what. In return, thanks to its 9.5 cm (3.7 in) height, you can slide it flat under a sofa or bed – even where a folded mid-fold unit like the Z1, P1 or A1 Pro (around 13 to 14 cm high) wouldn’t fit.

When it comes to moving it, the low weight plays to its strength: at 14 kg (31 lb) you can shift it with one hand if you have to, and with the transport wheels you can pull it across the room without lifting. Standing it upright against a wall also works; just make sure it can’t tip over. I compare which model has which folded footprint in my guide on foldable walking pads.

Sperax P2 Pro: placement, vibration and the fan

With the P2 Pro, the floor underneath matters more than with a plain treadmill, because the vibration plate transmits somewhat into the floor depending on the surface. Which mats dampen that is covered in my guide on floor mats for walking pads.

App notice recommending wood, tile or hard flooring instead of carpet for the Sperax P2 Pro

The fan is the second argument for a well-thought-out spot. It kicks in regularly, is clearly audible, and keeps running for a while after your workout. The app even explains this itself at that point and shows you when it’s active. For focused video calls in a quiet room, this is where the P2 Pro loses out to the quieter models.

Sperax P2 Pro compared with the KingSmith models

Along with the KUIPERS K1, the P2 Pro is one of two units in my test line-up that are not made by KingSmith, and it was an Amazon bestseller with its own app. It follows a different logic than the folding models, as the direct comparison shows.

PointSperax P2 ProKingSmith models tested

AppSperax Fitness with free programsKS Fit
Extravibration platehandrails, cushioning, mute function depending on the model

In short: the flat one-piece design with incline was the P2 Pro’s strength. If you want to run, walk as quietly as possible, or hold on to something, you’re better off with a folding model – the Z1, for instance, doesn’t need a fan at all. You can find more of my walking pad reviews in the walking pad category.

What the Sperax P2 Pro can’t do

Sperax P2 Pro remote with an open, empty battery compartment for AAA batteries
  • Jog: it tops out at around 6 km/h (3.7 mph); the unit is built for walking.
  • Fold: it stays one piece, so its 112.5 Γ— 56.5 cm (44.3 Γ— 22.2 in) footprint can’t get any smaller.
  • Adjust the incline while walking: you lock in the 5 or 10 percent steps mechanically, which means stepping off first.
  • Walk and vibrate at the same time: mode changes only work when stopped – correctly so as a safety feature, but still a limitation.
  • Stay quiet once the fan kicks in: it switches on by itself and keeps running after your workout.
  • Get going right away: batteries for the remote aren’t included.
  • Pick up an ongoing session later: if you start on the unit and open the app afterwards, that session is missing.
  • Start directly in km/h: mine came set to mph from the factory, which you switch once in the app settings.
  • Score points with a wide running surface: at 42 cm (16.5 in) you have to stay in the track.
  • Deliver the material feel of pricier units: lots of ABS plastic, solidly finished, but built lighter than the heavier models.

Strengths and weaknesses

  • Strengths: compact, high load capacity, unique vibration function, 5 % and 10 % incline, many free training programs in the app
  • Weaknesses: remote without batteries, audible fan, app does not sync ongoing sessions afterwards

My three suggestions for improvement

  1. Include batteries for the remote.
  2. Optimise fan noise or motor decoupling.
  3. Implement syncing of active sessions when the app is started.

Verdict

The Sperax P2 Pro is fun and offers many functions for its size: secure incline levels, a genuinely useful vibration function and an extensive app with free programs. For anyone with little space who did not want to miss out on variety and a bit more intensity, the model was an interesting choice. As it is no longer sold and the US CPSC warns against several Sperax models, I no longer recommend it.
