What to look for when buying a treadmill for home use?

Before you buy a treadmill for your home, it is important to be clear about your goals. Do you want to move more every day while working from home? Or are you planning to train intensively? The right treadmill must match your intensity of use, available space and preferences. When choosing a suitable treadmill, pay attention to the following points:

• Intensity of use:How often and for how long will you use the treadmill?
• Engine power:determines how smoothly and powerfully the treadmill runs.
• Size of the running surface:important for comfort and freedom of movement.
• Maximum load:choose a model that suits your body weight.
• Speed ​​range:take into account your training goals, from walking to running.
• Adjustable inclination angle:for extra challenge and training intensity.
• Storage options:especially useful if you want to save space at home or in the office.
• Additional features:think of a display, app connection or a handy railing.

Intensity of use

The frequency and intensity with which you use a treadmill largely determine which treadmill suits you best. If you occasionally take a walk while working from home, an entry-level model is often sufficient. In that case, you can easily opt for a cheap treadmill that is designed for light use.

On the other hand, if you want to train daily or move intensively several times a week, it is wise to invest in a more robust model with a more powerful motor, a sturdier frame and more advanced functions. The WalkingPad R2 or R3 Hybrid+, for example, are suitable for more frequent use thanks to their powerful motors and stable construction.

Pay close attention to your own intended use and keep in mind that the more intensively you use the treadmill, the higher the demands on quality and durability. An investment in a suitable model always pays off in the long term in terms of user pleasure and reliability.

Engine power

The motor power of a treadmill indicates how powerful the machine is and what kind of performance you can expect from it. This power is usually expressed in HP (horsepower), whereby a distinction is made between the nominal (continuous) power and the peak power.

For home athletes who mainly walk or jog lightly, a motor power of 1 to 1.5 HP is often sufficient. Most WalkingPad treadmills fall within this range and are therefore perfectly suited for daily use in home or office environments.

A higher motor power ensures smooth transitions between speeds and a longer lifespan under more intensive use. So if you plan on running regularly or doing longer sessions, it is wise to choose a model with a higher motor power within the WalkingPad series, such as the R3 Hybrid+ or the MX16+.

Size of the running surface

The size of the running surface plays an important role in the comfort and safety during use of the treadmill. A larger running surface offers more freedom of movement and is especially recommended if you are taller or like to walk or run a bit more briskly.

For walking or light jogging, a slightly smaller treadmill surface is usually sufficient, such as that found on compact models such as the WalkingPad A1 Pro or C2. These treadmills are ideal for home use thanks to their space-saving design. They offer enough space to walk comfortably while you work or relax.

Do you also want to run or do you have a somewhat rougher running style? Then choose a model with a larger running surface, such as the WalkingPad R2 or K15. These give you a little more freedom of movement and stability, which is essential at higher speeds.

Maximum load

The maximum load of a treadmill indicates how much weight the machine can safely and efficiently carry. It is important to choose a treadmill whose load capacity matches your body weight, with a safety margin of approximately 10 to 15%.

If you use a treadmill with a maximum load that is too low for your weight, the motor will have to work harder, which will be detrimental to its lifespan and performance. WalkingPad offers models with different load capacities, so that there is a suitable option for every user.

Speed ​​range

The speed range of a treadmill determines whether the device is suitable for walking, jogging or running. The wider the range, the more training possibilities you have. For home use, a speed of 0.5 to 6 km/h is usually sufficient if you mainly want to walk or move quietly while working.

However, if you also want to be able to run, you need a model with a higher maximum speed. At WalkingPad we also offer treadmills up to 16 km/h, which are perfect for intensive workouts or interval training.

Adjustable tilt angle

An adjustable incline makes your workout more intense without having to increase your speed. By slightly raising the running surface, you simulate a hilly terrain, which provides extra muscle activation and a higher calorie burn. This is ideal for those who want to train more efficiently or are looking for variation in their routine.

However, not every treadmill has this function, but with the models that do offer it, you will experience a clear difference in intensity. The KingSmith WalkingPad Treadmill K15 is such an advanced model with an adjustable incline of up to 4%. This makes your training more challenging and allows you to work more purposefully on strength and endurance.

If you are looking for additional training stimuli and like to vary your workouts, then a treadmill with an adjustable incline is definitely worth considering.

Storage options

When you have limited space at home or in the office, it is extra important to consider the storage options of your treadmill. After all, you don't want the device to be in the way all the time. WalkingPad understands this and has therefore equipped all its treadmills with smart, innovative folding mechanisms.

The mostWalkingPad treadmills are fully foldable, making it easy to store under a bed, couch or in a closet. Models like the WalkingPad A1 Pro and C2 fold in half in one go, while more advanced models like the R2 and X21 can even be stored vertically. This means you hardly lose any space.

In addition, the treadmills are lightweight and equipped with wheels, making them easy to move. No hassle, no assembly - just fold, put away and you're done!

Additional features

In addition to the basic functionalities, additional functions can make your training more fun, comfortable and/or efficient. For example, think of a built-in display that shows your speed, distance, time and calorie consumption. This helps you to track your performance and set goals.

WalkingPad treadmills are equipped with various smart extras, depending on the model. For example, with many models, such as the C2 and R2, you can connect your treadmill to the KS Fit app. This makes it easy to keep track of your workouts and set personal goals. Some treadmills are also equipped with a remote control or have sensors for automatic speed adjustment based on your position on the running surface.

Do you choose a treadmill or a walking belt?

When choosing a treadmill, it is important to determine whether you mainly want to walk or also want to run. A walking belt is usually more compact, lighter and quieter. It is perfect for daily use while working from home or watching TV and offers speeds of up to about 6 km/h. Ideal for those who want to exercise more in an accessible way.

A treadmill, on the other hand, is built more robustly, has a more powerful motor and a larger running surface. This allows you to reach higher speeds (up to 16 km/h) and perform intensive workouts. Perfect for jogging, running or interval training.

At WalkingPad you can choose from both options. View the wide rangewalking tires at WalkingPad, such as the compact A1 Pro or the stylish C2, if you mainly want to walk. Do you prefer versatility or do you also want to run? Then models such as the R2, MX16+ or X21 are an excellent choice.
