Xmund XD-T2 treadmill test

A few other features are also worth mentioning, such as tilt angle setting, Music via BT connection, "portability" and that collapsibility, and of course the use of materials should not be too dirty either. Now that I've pretty much managed to parameterize things, let's see if the Xmund XD-T2 matches them. As far as the use of materials is concerned, the machine is pretty much okay, it feels like they worked with cheap materials, but I don't think this affects the operation. Where it should be strong, there it is, e.g. if you turn the belt over, you can see that the belt runs in a solid welded frame structure, the pads located at the bottom hold the treadmill well against the laminate floor.

There is a "handrail" on the upper part that you can hold on to while running, otherwise this handrail can be closed by unscrewing the two screws on the side. This is not a happy solution in that it is quite fiddly to do so. It would be better to have some kind of simpler mechanism to implement this, because folding it is not that easy, despite the fact that the XD-T2 has two wheels at the front, which means that it can be lifted away or pushed under the bed, so it does not take up space 2 square meters in the main room. It can be loaded up to 100 kilograms while running and 120 kilograms while walking, and I watched videos about it, it seems it can really withstand this.

As far as its functionality is concerned, the handrail can also be kept folded down permanently, in which case the device goes into walking mode

and allows a maximum speed of 6 km/h 600 W motor, while this is folded up the limit is 12 km/h rise. I would click a little on this number to see what it means. Anyone who has ever been to a serious running race or seen the start of one - it's not too difficult to run in something like this in Budapest - knows that competitors start from zones. Each section is 30 seconds faster, the last zone is typically for riders at 6:30-7min/km or slower, and each section tapers down accordingly. I usually start from zone 3 or 4, this is a pace of 5-6 minutes/kilometer, so it is not difficult to calculate, if I could continuously run long distances at 5 minutes/kilometer - but I can't -, then I could maximize the knowledge of Xmund XD-T2. Perhaps an even more sensitive example is that amateurs are already very happy with a half-marathon within 2 hours, you need to cover one kilometer in 5 minutes and 42 seconds, on this calculator Based on.

So, Xmund's product serves everyone up to the top of the amateur level,

obviously a Tyson Gay won't train on it, but neither will a professional runner. Not only because, for example, the angle of the tape cannot be adjusted. This is a problem because it is based on practical experience running on a treadmill is a little easier than running under your own power, that is why they usually raise the slope of the tape by roughly 1-1,5% to make it harder to exert force, thereby simulating reality. In return, he knows things like BT speaker based music playback, the quality of which is not great, but it's nice that you can play music during sports - but I've also watched videos that way - and that a phone holder was also installed on the handrail, which also fits a smaller tablet, so you could even watch a movie while moving.

I especially hated the sensitivity of the remote control,

the buttons can be pressed in with the delicacy of a log. If you poke a little, that's the problem, if a lot, then that's it, so it can be made to work with roughly average power. I also replaced 3 batteries because I thought the problem was there - two are added as standard - but that didn't help either, unfortunately that's how it is. It is also annoying that you can only increase the speed in tenths, and since the tape starts at 1 km/h and the maximum is 12, it will take you a while to get there. Fortunately, a long press starts spinning the numbers properly, but it still takes about 1 minute to get to the desired speed, so this is a significant ergonomic flaw.

Of course, there are no topographic conditions either, which is the roughest strain, we have already run up from Naphegy to János-hegy to the Erzsébet lookout with my colleague SonkaMod, and the Xmund XD-T2 does not even come close to this load.

By the way, it is not at all unpleasant to use,

you have to get used to this type of mechanized form of movement, and luckily I can list countless advantages. For example, that no need to get dressed and go out into the coldthat no need to contend with the terrain, you can watch a movie at the same time, or even hold the barrier. By the way, I don't recommend the latter, because it breaks the harmony of the running movement, because the arms help a lot in finding a good rhythm. Another disadvantage of the Xmund XD-T2 is that the conveyor belt is a bit narrow, for my height of 175 cm and my weight of 75 kilos, it was just good. It's not easy to step over, but it happened because I stepped on the edge of the device with my foot. Fortunately, I didn't fall, but anyone taller or bigger than me will fight him.

The parameters for jogging can be monitored on the display on the front.

Shows time, speed, distance traveled, calories burned and total distance traveled. I think the display is a bit lame from the point of view that, for example, the maximum time can be 99,99 minutes, which e.g. it's hard to fit in a half marathon, I run around 1 hour 50 minutes when I'm in top shape, i.e. under 110 minutes. The same is true for the calories burned, which is also limited to 999 kilocalories for some reason, and more than this can be lost with a more vigorous, longer jogging. The XD-T2 you step around the parameters by yourself, this cannot be said, but patience pays off, sooner or later you will reach the desired value. As for the mobile holder, that would have been a good idea, but a larger device just covers the panel showing the parameters, and it also vibrates a little from running, so in 15-20 minutes my mobile phone moved so much that I had to adjust it.
