“WalkingPad is notorious for motor failure. If you look at their ratings, you'll see that C-shape graph you don't want to see (called 1-star skew); which indicates people love it at first, until they don't.”r/WFH
Community sentiment around the WalkingPad C2 and R1 Pro is sharply divided. Users appreciate the practical design, “slim enough to go under a desk, fold for storage, and have a remote so you're not reaching down mid-work”2, but longer-term owners raise serious reliability concerns. One veteran researcher warned that WalkingPad is “notorious for motor failure”1, pointing to a “C-shape graph you don't want to see (called 1-star skew); which indicates people love it at first, until they don't”1. On a more granular level, some users noted odd distance tracking discrepancies, though step counts were found to be “fairly consistent with the steps displayed on the walking pad”3 when cross-referenced with a Fitbit.
