I bought this item and it broke - literally the metal cracked and it cannot be used any longer. Not only that, the equipment overheats when used. You learn this quickly after you've burned yourself!!!

If there was a way to return this - I would!!

Bought this to replace a similar mini-stair stepper I'd had for a few years. Worked fine at first. Got increasingly noisier over time, but these products usually do squeak and groan from friction. Thing finally broke today... cheap construction: although the little hydraulic shocks seem fine (they heat up on all models), tension is produced by a big plastic flywheel held in place by a metallic cable/cord (about 1' long, it forms a U over the flywheel producing tautness and tension, allowing a step to go up as you put your foot and weight down on the other step) eventually, this cord simply gives way... the wound metal of the cord snaps to the point where it loudly snaps apart with a loud pop. From the looks of it, it cannot be fixed and is now nothing more than junk.

This product is not worth the price.

This is the 1st mini stepper I've had, the calculator part never worked and there were no instructions so I should've returned it right away, but it worked otherwise, so I kept it. It made noise off and on and after only 14 months the cable just snapped and there are no replacement parts! I do not recommend buying this product!!!
