Mini Steppers for Exercise at Home, Stair Step Workout Machine with Optional Resistance Bands, Full Body Cardio Equipment, Optional Free SunnyFit App Connection Smart Stepper

This is a sturdy and well-made little machine. I like everything about it. I had some issues with a missing washer when I got the machine, because Amazon had carelessly thrown the machine into a box. I called the customer service number on the manual and was amazed at the good quality of the customer service. A rep answered the phone promptly, spoke perfect English, and was very helpful. He explained I could use the machine without the washer and ordered a replacement part for me. I'm astonished that any company still exists that produces a solid, sturdy, functional, affordable little machine like this one and with good customer service to boot. This is how things used to be in the 1960s! I'm happy with this little machine. It's compact, easy to store, well-made, and a pleasure to use. Very simple, very functional. The display that shows steps, time, and calories is clear and easy to read. Definitely a nice workout "snack".

A few years ago I started working from home, and while that's awesome, it also caused me to spend a ridiculous amount of time sitting at my desk, as there's no reason to get up to go to the copier, or consult with a co-worker, etc. I can't always go for a 15 or 20 minute walk several times a day, so I wanted something I could do indoors, and something I could do frequently throughout the day during quick work breaks, to counteract all that sitting. Anything I could think of to do on my own (with no equipment) didn't seem like enough. But I have a tiny apartment and really didn't have room for much in the way of equipment. I knew if it was something that could be folded up to fit in a closet or under the bed, well, it'd probably stay there. I needed something that could sit right in the middle of the living room in plain sight, without being 'in my way.' This was it, and it's perfect. I get up from my desk every hour to hour and a half or so and do 5 minutes on this stepper. Five minutes isn't a lot to some people, but I'm out of shape so it's a pretty good workout for me (the way I have the tension set), and it gives me moving breaks all day long to break up all that sitting. Of course it could be used for longer sessions, but the point for my purpose wasn't to do a 30 minute cardio workout just on this, but instead to have some way to easily take 5 to 7 breaks during the day and really get my muscles moving and my heart pumping for a few minutes, to counteract all that sitting. This definitely does that. The stepper came almost completely assembled, you just have to tighten a pulley cable with a knob, and the instructions explain it easily. The resistance bands with handles are adjustable for your height and/or how much resistance you want them to have. They are also optional, you can do the stepper with or without them. I actually usually don't use them. I have some discomfort in my right knee, and was worried this would be a problem with the type of movement on this machine. Using the stepper while standing completely upright does cause some pain in my knee (tho I may have the tension a little high, too). Sometimes I wear a knee brace, which does help - but I also discovered another trick I like. I put the stepper in front of a sturdy table and lean forward with my hands on the table, sort of the same position you'd be in if you were riding a bike. When I use it that way I have no knee discomfort, and as a bonus, I can do more steps in the same amount of time, because it's a little bit easier. So overall, I love it, it works great, I've had no problems with it at all. It's very sturdy and feels well built, but it's not too heavy to move around if you need to reposition it. I'd recommend it for anyone, but especially if space is a concern, and even if you're out of shape and can't do much exercise at one time (like a full 30 minute hard core cardio workout) - because with this, you can do just what you can, all throughout the day, and build up.

Okay, so I'm a 79 yr old who doesn't look 79. I can toot my own horn! I am carrying 20 pounds extra after cancer -- I'm eating everything in sight so don't judge me. I loosened the tension and I have to admit, I haven't been able to stay on this stepper more than 15 minutes. Trying to get my strength back- and balance. This stepper is a good workout even if I'm only up to 15 minutes. I can feel it in my calves and I think it's actually helping my arthritic knees that lacked exercise during cancer treatment. I recommend this stepper. It's well made, very sturdy. I love the handle rope- whatever you call them - that are attached and they are really strengthening my upper arms. I gave it 4 stars because I'm a fun- sized 5'2" lady and this stepper really challenges me, which is good. Nothing wrong with the stepper-- I just wish they were looser even though I know the tension would give me a quicker, better result. I'm getting there, slowly. I recommend this over all others I have tried. I am normally a very active, go-go-go person, so like any exercise, I'll keep at it. Buy this one. Great value!

This is more difficult than I gave it credit for when I bought it! I use in during the cold weather months when I do way too much sitting due to snow and ice outside. I like using it for leg strengthening, getting my heart rate going and also balance. It's a sturdy little piece of equipment that gets the job done. Well worth the money spent!

Très robuste et simple d'utilisation. Dommage que les bandes de résistance soient un peu trop courtes. Le temps dira le reste.

Very good. Its portable enough to fit in small places and works good. You feel it through the whole body after a few seconds. A good buy.

This is a life saver. Great work outs on it. Very sturdy, well made.

Muy muy buena máquina, excelente relación calidad-precio. Después de aproximadamente un mes con ella, mi experiencia es la siguiente: A favor: - Simula subir escalones muy bien, en unos 10 minutos tienes las piernas como rocas. - Muy fácil de utilizar, sólo hay que adaptar la altura del escalón, cuanto más alto más te costará. - Tiene dos bandas elásticas para los brazos, con lo que también puedes tonificar brazos a la vez. - Calidad de materiales y acabados. Parecen muy buenos, ya veremos con el uso y el tiempo. - Tiene una pantalla/display, que te da diversos registros, como pasos, cadencia, tiempo, calorías... Contras: - No se puede regular la dureza de los peldaños, es estándar, la dureza se consigue con la altura del paso. - Regular la altura del escalón es un poco complicado, la verdad es que podrían haberlo diseñado un poco más sencillo. - Si pisas muy al borde de los escalones, la máquina se te levanta y te puedes caer hacia atrás, cuidado con eso. En fin, que la recomiendo por el precio que tiene, y por las calidad de materiales que aparenta tener.
