Our verdict
The Z1 is the newer, cheaper sibling that reviewers now recommend over WalkingPad's own older C2: a stronger 1.25 HP motor, a higher 110 kg weight capacity, and FootSense automatic speed control, all for about half the C2's price. If you're choosing between WalkingPad's compact pads specifically, this is the one to buy — the C2 exists mostly for readers who already own one and are deciding whether to upgrade.
