2 weeks with the MC21 Walkingpad / Kingsmith - Is it any good?

[@Elinasm]

I appreciate your review so much! It is so strange there is such a small amount of user reviews for this model, i cannot understand why :(

[@LockdownTechToys]

No problem! Thanks so much! I think not many people know about this brand yet. Will do a 6 month impressions review later~

[@oliverwhisper]

Because it’s exclusive to QVC.

[@atb88]

Because it only came out late 2023. I’ve been looking into these for a while and only just realised Walkingpad had released a new one. I’d been searching for the r2 which may have impacted my search results.

[@ytringer]

How is it going one year later? Is the walkingpad still going strong? :) i might buy a used one this weekend.

[@halynavolkova1580]

Hi, I saw how you extended the handle. But I can not get how do you fix it in the chosen position?🤔

[@LockdownTechToys]

Hi, all you do is pull it out to the desired position and let go. There's some internal notches so it stays, but make sure there's a click sound before you let go or it will fall right down again:)

[@Mishavozduh]

Hey, thank you for the review. I don't know if you are still responding to comments, but if you do, can you help me understand how wide this thing is? The specs say 70 cm, but clearly it has two different widths - a smaller across most of it and a wider at the very front, where the handle is attached. Which one is 70 cm?

[@LockdownTechToys]

Hey no problem, thank you for the comment. If you're referring to the black tread portion, its about 35cm. That part is uniform throughout. If you're talking about the entire thing at the front, its about 2 and a half feet across, or 70 plus centimeters.

[@kashnickel988]

Hi, great review, one question: I can keep the hand rail down and walk on this using the remote right? I don't need to put the rail up for that? Thanks

[@LockdownTechToys]

For sure, yes you can. I always keep the hand rail up, but if you want to only walk on it you can. Would work great with a standing desk!

[@Br0wnCh3]

Can you move the handles down to the ground so you can use it under desk?

[@LockdownTechToys]

Yes you can. I mean if you want a walking pad you should simply get the cheaper version without any handles, but this is for those who want the option to run.

[@Br0wnCh3]

@@LockdownTechToys thanks unfortunately I’m heavier then the recommended weight capacity for the cheaper model. The recommended is 105kg I’m 108 kg. I am a wfh call centre worker and looking for something to walk to while on call or go jogging out side of work hours.

[@annafr93]

Thanks for the review! I have a question for you, where the hinge is, can you feel a dent?

[@LockdownTechToys]

Sure! The dent is there, you can definitely feel it especially when running. That said, it doesn't get very pronounced at low speeds

[@jmjm6963]

Can you take the handle away, to put it under the standing desk?

[@LockdownTechToys]

No, unfortunately not. The handle is permanently attached to the bottom piece.

[@jmjm6963]

@@LockdownTechToys can you put the handle down though and use it while that’s down?

[@LockdownTechToys]

@jmjm6963 yes of course! But speeds will be limited to 6km per hour (walking only). You can control it thru the remote.

[@jmjm6963]

@@LockdownTechToys nice, thank you! Just last question - how good is amortization? Is that on standing on the rubber pads or „screwed“ legs or maybe something else?

[@LockdownTechToys]

No problem! This uses rubber pads. Good enough for walking but way too loud for running. I highly recommend you get the mat that muffles noise while running.

[@omky7]

Hi. Which one is better, r2 pro it mc21?

[@LockdownTechToys]

About the same really. The R2 pro goes up to 12km/h, while the MC21 is maxed out at 10km/h, which is enough for me. Other that that the styling of the R2 pro is darker is more at home in a serious gym, while the MC21 is like lighter and more casual looking.

[@atb88]

@@LockdownTechToysis the MC21 the same as the MC11? In the UK it seems to be called MC11 (possibly due to have a different plug?).

[@LockdownTechToys]

@atb88 I checked the walkingpad mc11 in the UK website. Down to the specs and speed, it's identical to the kingsmith mc21 as is sold in SG. The plug should be identical I think! Since SG uses the UK plug 🔌

[@atb88]

@@LockdownTechToys, thanks for your reply. You said in the video the MC21 maxes out at 10kph, however, the MC11 goes as fast as 12kph (7.5mph). Can you confirm?

[@LockdownTechToys]

@atb88 oh wait you're right. Mine maxes out at 10kmh, so you're getting a spec bump there. Seems like the one over there is a slightly different model!

[@andreimade3261]

Great review, can you answer to one question please. If I would like to use it under table, is it possible to fold down the handle with the buttons and use it ? does it has a remote?

[@LockdownTechToys]

Thanks! Yes it's possible to use it in walking mode - that is with the handle down. But the speed is limited to 6km per hour. You need to put the handle up to access jogging speeds of ip to 10 clicks. It does have a separate remote. I haven't used it since i like the handle, but it can be useful if you plan to use the MC21 for mainly walking.

[@andreimade3261]

@@LockdownTechToys Thank you for your answer this helps a lot.

[@jelenalela2409]

My display does not work.Is it way to handle it?

[@lizethrubio4994]

Thanks for the review, very useful. Do you think the motor is powerful enough for run above 1h? How is the performance after 1year of use? thanks again :)

[@LockdownTechToys]

Sure glad to help. I've often used it for over an hour while watching Netflix.- no issues! As for me, it's been working great 18 months in 👍

[@vhinflores7572]

Sir update your treadmill how it is for now i hope you can answer i also want to buy that thing i have doubt about the twchnician said not good quick burn motor that they said that i have doubt pls answer me

[@LockdownTechToys]

Sir the motor works just as well now over 1 year later as the day I took it out of the box.

[@BlissfulArmy]

Hi. How is the treadmill doing? I am considering to buy this model vs x21. The foldability is huge plus point.

[@LockdownTechToys]

Its still working well! Over 6 months later. I use it daily for walking and sometimes running. If you need the 12kmh speed of the x21, go for it. If not, the 10kmh speed of the mc l21 works just fine for me. Saves time and money going to the gym just for the treadmill too.

[@BlissfulArmy]

​@LockdownTechToys thanks for replying. I ended up buying X21 just for the ipad holder, and then realised it has no wheel to roll around. A little bit too late 😂.

[@LockdownTechToys]

@BlissfulArmy No problem and thanks for the update. Didnt know x21 doesn't have rollers! Pretty inconvenient as the device is very heavy. Do you find yourself going above 10kmh often? I normally go at 9 or below 😆

[@BlissfulArmy]

@LockdownTechToys yes quite inconvenient without the rollers but oh well moving it around could be a warmup on its own too 😅 Since I had it, only went up to 6km/h for 1 hour. Using it mainly late in the evening on busy days, just to get the steps in, when my energy is already super low. But then again even in the gym i rarely go past 8 km/h.. so except for some plus points - such as unfolding mechanism of X2 I think needs less maneuvering because the armrest doesn't move and flip (just unfold the belt frame straightaway to use), and the panel is wider with knob that goes up to 0.1 km/h increment - both models X21 and MC21 look pretty similar. Hope it can last me quite a while too.. at least 6 months.. 😄

[@LockdownTechToys]

Haha hope it can! I also rarely go up to the max speed on mine:)

[@Maby_World]

Hi, wonderful review. How long can it run for? 1-2 hours?

[@LockdownTechToys]

Thanks! It can run for as long as it has electricity ~

[@rendcycle]

How many of the bottom Grip/Foot Pads are adjustable? Is it true that the MC21 treadmill model has to be stopped for 10 minutes after running continuously for every 50 minutes? How many horsepower does your MC21 have, 1 or 1.25HP? Does the treadmill have a creaking noise which gets louder the faster you run on it? Have you tried connecting this to the Zwift or Kinomap app? How is the MC21 now after months of use?

[@LockdownTechToys]

None can be adjusted. Not true. Not sure about horsepower, top speed is 10km per hour. Yes the noise increases wirh speed, understandable. Not sure what apps they are, just use the kingsmith app.

[@LockdownTechToys]

It works fine! 3 months and no issues

[@Draco_7]

@@LockdownTechToys Current Update PLEASE

[@LockdownTechToys]

@Draco_7 I use it daily, it is indispensable for me. Works as well as the day I took it out of the box. The treads make my Nike shoes wear out. A must have when wfh, really.

[@Draco_7]

@@LockdownTechToys omg thanks for the fast reply, bc of u i have decided to buy it, was just waiting for u to confirm. Thank u again.
