WalkingPad P1 Review 🏃 A Reliable Folding Treadmill for the Desk!

The WalkingPad P1 is a folding under-desk treadmill for up to 6 km/h (3.7 mph) and 100 kg (220 lb) body weight, controlled via remote and the KS Fit app. It runs quietly, is set up in minutes and stores away compactly thanks to its folding design. It lacks a display and an incline.

My WalkingPad P1 review

Below I share my honest impressions and ratings to help you decide whether this walking pad is the right one for you.

This is a single review. You can find all my other walking pad and treadmill reviews in the walking pad category.

Design & build quality ★★★★☆ (4/5)

The WalkingPad P1 convinces with a simple but functional design. The materials look high-quality and the treadmill is solidly built. The minimalist design fits well into modern living spaces, but might be a bit too plain for some.

Condition	Length	Width	Height
Unfolded	143.2 cm	54.7 cm	12.9 cm
Folded	82.2 cm	54.7 cm	12.9 cm

Running surface
120 cm x 40.5 cm

Functionality ★★★★☆ (4,5/5)

The combination of foldability and easy operation makes the WalkingPad P1 extremely functional. It offers all the functions needed for an effective walking workout. The top speed of 6 km/h is ideal for brisk walking, but might be too little for ambitious runners.

Mode	Speed
Top speed	6 km/h
Safety mode	Starts with a maximum of 3 km/h

Ease of use ★★★★★ (5/5)

The intuitive handling via the remote and the KS Fit app makes it very easy to use. Setup is straightforward, and the folding function allows space-saving storage. Integration with other fitness apps is another plus.

Feature	Details
Folding function	After training, the WalkingPad P1 can simply be folded so it is only 82.2 cm long and fits easily under the bed or behind the door.

Performance ★★★★★ (5/5)

In terms of performance, the WalkingPad P1 has fully convinced me. It runs reliably and there have been no problems so far. The speed can be adjusted precisely, and the treadmill responds quickly to inputs.

Noise ★★★★☆ (4/5)

The treadmill is generally very quiet, which is ideal for use in flats. However, after a while a quiet fan kicks in, which increases the noise level minimally. This is not disturbing and hardly affects use.

Value for money ★★★★★ (5/5)

Given the high-quality build, the versatile functions and the included app, the WalkingPad P1 offers excellent value for money. With the discount offered, the purchase becomes even more attractive.

Compared to other treadmills on the market, the WalkingPad P1 offers some notable advantages:

• Compact design: Unlike conventional treadmills, the WalkingPad P1 can simply be folded and stored under the sofa.
• Value for money: While similar models often cost more than €500, the WalkingPad P1 offers the same functionality at a lower price.
• Noise level: The WalkingPad is quieter in operation than comparable models such as the WalkingPad A1 Pro, which makes it ideal for use in a flat without disturbing the neighbours.
