  • when you first get it, this pad right here, there's like a pad that goes underneath and it's kind of like stuck to the base of the treadmill. It's going to be loose all the way up. So, when you first unfold this thing, you might get some air bubbles underneath and you're going to have to peel this up and then squeeze them out. Otherwise, when you walk, every time you go over that air bubble, it's going to make a popping sound. It's really annoying. ▶ WalkingPad X25 Treadmill Review by Owner @ 2:44
  • when you're flipping it out, this belt is not held in place. So, it likes to slide from side to side. ▶ WalkingPad X25 Treadmill Review by Owner @ 2:27
  • Before you get your feet on it, you have to make sure the belt is right in the middle. You can start testing it a little bit and if it's not in the middle as it's running then you have to use this Allen key to adjust the hole here to make sure it's in the middle. ▶ WalkingPad X21 Unboxing: Best Quality Home Treadmill? @ 1:34
