4.0 out of 5 stars Good alternative to elliptical trainer, May 18, 2007

By

Amazon Verified Purchase

I have always wanted an elliptical trainer. But with limited space, I found a mini-stepper to be a good alternative. I have done a lot of research and read reviews from Amazon, and seems that this is a more reliable stepper. After 1 day of use, here are my findings:

Pros:
-It arrived pre-assembled. All you need is to remove the plastic, put together the resistance knob (see Cons below), cord, and meter.
-Some mentioned the paddles being too small. I wear 7 1/2 and the paddles are more than I need.
-Space-saving
-Good resistance for a starter for low-impact workout. I want to focus on my tummy, hip, and thighs, and this stepper provides what I need.
-Meter is simple to use, I know when I can have my next cookie

Cons:
-The knob that is supposed to tighten the resistance cord gets loosen up fairly quickly. I haven't used it long enough to tell, but it seems to work best if you were to stay on it consecutively. This is my biggest disappointment.
-It's squeaky (just a little)

For under $70, I can avoid the rain and sweaty equipment in gym. Good low-impact workout.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great machine, April 30, 2007

By 

A.L.A. (Boston MA USA) - See all my reviews

I have had this stepper for several years now. And i love it. You can really feel the burn in your legs and butt. the faster and harder you work it, the more tension you build up on the machine, and the better work out. It is very portable.put it in front of the TV, or pop a dvd in the player and start your work out...easy. I don't use the stretch bands any more...i actually took them off and just pump my arms or use free weights for my upper body.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good work out small size, May 22, 2006

This is a very small and won't take up a lot of room. The tension in the steps is pretty good. The arm bands are not adjustable but are rather stiff. I haven't had this device long enough to comment on the sturdiness. However, it seems to be well made. I think it was worth the price.
