(checked 2026-10-10)Very small sample (24 ratings), on a 'C2 (S1)' listing. Other C2 listings found had no ratings.
WIRED's best foldable pick: it folds in half, has a long 47-inch track for long strides and feels stable. But setup and the app are frustrating, top speed is slow, and Wirecutter found its WalkingPad units developed whirring noises within weeks.

Top complaints
- Frustrating setup, wonky app and remote
WIRED struggled to connect the Bluetooth remote and KS Fit app, says remote connectivity is inconsistent, and found the app doesn't log a walk unless you start it in the app. Tom's Guide also says the app can be glitchy.
Source: WIRED, Tom's Guide - Whirring noise and loose belts in testing
Wirecutter tested the C2 alongside the A1 Pro and P1. After a few weeks all three made worrisome whirring noises that didn't stop after belt adjustment or oiling, and some testers thought the folding design let the belts loosen. Wirecutter also found the automatic speed mode clunky.
Source: Wirecutter (NYT) - Slow top speed that must be 'unlocked'
WIRED disliked having to walk at slower speeds before the upper end of the range unlocks. Tom's Guide says the maximum speed is quite slow (3.7 mph).

What owners love
- Long track for tall walkers
WIRED says the 57-inch frame (47.2-inch track) suits taller people and long strides; Tom's Guide calls the belt a good size.
Source: WIRED, Tom's Guide - Folds in half
It folds to 32.5 inches long and 5.4 inches high, which WIRED and Tom's Guide say makes it easy to store.
Source: WIRED, Tom's Guide - Stable, durable feel and a large display
WIRED found the deck stable (though less springy than some), liked the large display, and says the machine feels like it will last a long time.

What experts say
- WIRED: Best foldable walking pad: good for tall people and long strides, stable and durable-feeling, but frustrating to set up, heavy, and the app can be wonky.
- Tom's Guide: Also tested, not a top pick: easy to store with a good-size belt, but the app can be glitchy and the top speed is quite slow.
- Wirecutter (NYT): Dismissed: testers liked the look, but auto mode was clunky and the WalkingPad units developed worrisome whirring within weeks.
