Raise your hand if you live in an apartment or condo. I’m right there with you. If your home is anything like mine, most treadmills aren’t in the cards. I live on the fourth floor without an elevator, so getting a hundred-pound+ treadmill up the stairs is out of the question. Even a model that has a deck that folds up isn’t possible because of my lack of space.
The WalkingPad X21 Treadmill, however, is perfect for those with very limited space and who live in an upstairs apartment. If this sounds like you, keep reading this WalkingPad X21 Treadmill review to learn more about this extremely compact, double-folding treadmill.

Bottom Line | The double-folding design makes this already very compact and lightweight treadmill fold up like a briefcase for use almost anywhere. | A compact, foldable treadmill with iFIT integration on the 10″ touch screen. | An entry-level treadmill with a high-quality build, impressive training options, and an easy-to-use design, all for an affordable price. | The Horizon T101 is one of the best-selling models in its price range and is a great option if you are looking for a treadmill for walking or light jogging. |

Would you prefer the X21 Walkingpad or the R2?
I am considering buying one of them, just not sure which one.
I will use it mainly for Walking (I am 50 years old, and am quite overweight 230lb)
