Currently, indoor treadmills are familiar to consumers. But there are not many treadmills with the criteria of being versatile, compact and applying technology suitable to the needs of young people. Today, TipsofAllTime introduces to you the KingSmith WalkingPad X21 Treadmill model, which has all the factors such as compactness, ease of use and modern technology.

Previously, TipsofAllTime introduced to you KingSmith R2 version . But with the X21, KingSmith’s treadmill offers the ultimate in convenience and technology for professional workouts at home. KingSmith X21 treadmill is currently being distributed for about $745.

Design

Compared to other models on the market, the design of the KingSmith X21 treadmill follows a modern trend. The hallmarks of X21’s technology and modernity are shown from the LED screen, the rotation to customize the running speed. 

The LED screen displays full information for the practitioner such as showing Calorie consumption, running time, running level, …

The highlight of the product is that you can easily access directly between your phone and KingSmith X21 via NFC. The treadmill will update in real time and display all the data about the phone in the most accurate way.

In addition, the KingSmith X21 Smart Treadmill still inherits a simple but optimal design that can be folded 180°. The machine can be folded to help users save maximum storage space up to 90% compared to other treadmills on the market. 

With the folding ability of the X21, it helps to reduce the size of the machine down to just a travel suitcase. To be more precise, the KingSmith X21 is only about 20cm thick, making it easy to store underneath anywhere in the house. You can easily fit it under a bed or sofa and you can even stand it up.

KingSmith’s treadmill has a size of 1420x720x1020 mm. You will have the option of attaching a phone or tablet stand to both jogging and watching movies. In addition, the product has a place to plug in the seat belt (connected to the runner, in the event of a fall, the cord is disconnected from the engine, it will stop running immediately).

The handle frame of the KingSmith treadmill is completed by two parts including ABS plastic and metal. Your handle will be covered with high-quality ABS plastic, while the bottom frame is firmly completed by metal material, creating a sense of peace of mind when running at high speed.

Below is the running area, which is made up of 4 parts including super durable fiberboard, EVA padding, smooth layer and anti-slip running mat. With 4 layers of X21 to help you reduce the impact on the knee joints, bones help users ensure safety when exercising. 

According to the manufacturer, the 4-layer EVA running mat has anti-slip texture but is actually quite thin, only about 1 mm. EVA stands for ethylene vinyl acetate, a rubber plastic with high heat and cold resistance, especially very durable. Underneath the carpet was a black film, probably plastic, of the same thickness. 

When folding the running mat in half, the film underneath bends so it does not form a crease – meaning there is no need to worry about this mattress being brittle or broken after many times of folding and opening. Regarding the durability of running mats, it is known that the 1-layer type has a lifespan of about 3-5 years for normal users, the type of 2 layers or more has a much longer life – from 5-10 years.

Under the carpet is a place to store the motor and place the switch, the power connection socket.

Salient features

KingSmith X21 treadmill has a minimum speed of 1 km / h, a maximum speed of 12 km / h. The 1-horsepower engine continuously operates (CHP) enough for the needs of walking and jogging for both young and old people. The advantage of that motor is that it uses DC brushless technology. Note that DC motors produce less noise than AC motors. In fact, the machine operates quietly, downstairs does not know that someone is jogging upstairs.

In addition, the X21’s rotary knob will help users customize the running speed, continue or stop the running mode. The plus point of the knob is that you can increase or decrease many speeds with just one turn. Each time the knob is used, the machine will increase 0.1 km/h. 

In case you want to increase the speed faster just turn it fast, the speed of the treadmill will automatically increase according to your desire. Besides, in case you want to increase or decrease the maximum speed, just turn 1 turn, X21 will switch to the lowest or highest level. Really handy for your daily needs.

Practical experience

During the experience, to start your running training session simply open the running table and execute. The whole process of folding, opening the machine, moving from room to room, I can handle comfortably alone thanks to two wheels. 

The wheels are a bit small but move well on both wooden and carpet floors. However, it is not suitable for transferring from floor to floor because the weight of about 38kg is not light at all.

Thanks to the addition of a tablet holder, the phone helps me have more motivation and inspiration to run. I can just listen to music or watch youtube and run this gives me extra touch when running with KingSmith X21.

Although there is no spring-assisted shock absorber system at the base of the treadmill, in my opinion, the EVA running mat provides a gentle running feeling, reducing the impact on the knee joints and bones to help avoid injury. injury caused by exercise. In fact, in a week of running on the machine every day, I found the machine to run smoothly. 

For the X21 treadmill, I have experimented with running barefoot but never encountered an uncomfortable phenomenon when directly rubbing the carpet. This is a plus for the carpet part of this treadmill.

When jogging or walking, the muscles of the abdomen, buttocks and thighs have a distinct sense of movement. Walking 30 minutes at a speed of 6 km / h is 2.26 km, burning 140 Kcal. To be able to know such detailed statistics, I just need to access the application or observe on the LED screen. I have experienced running at the highest speed of 12km / h, the machine does not vibrate too much and cause noise around. 

Besides, in terms of electricity consumption, if you jog every day for 30 minutes to 1 hour, it will not consume electricity at all. For a normal runner, I think they should run for the same amount of time, don’t practice too much.

In addition to direct customization on the X21, you can use the KS Fit application to customize the functions. With NFC feature, You can easily access directly between your phone and KingSmith X21 via NFC. The treadmill will update in real time and display all the data about the phone in the most accurate way.

Besides the basic features, you can add other advanced functions such as exercise mode, speed limit and child lock.
