My knees love this machine. I hop on it for 30 minutes to an hour while watching tv and be the time I am done I am drenched. If you want to do more then sit and snack while watching the tube I suggest that you invest in this.

I bought this mini-elliptical after reading all the reviews on this and other similar products. I bought this item for three main reasons:
1 – Low price
2 – Small size
3 – Portability
I like the elliptical movement because I have bad ankles, and treadmills and steppers hurt me after a short time working out. I don’t have room for a full-size elliptical machine in my house, and this turned out to be the perfect size. Plus, it’s small size made it easy to move around the house to be where I wanted to use it. I like to work out while watching TV to keep my mind elsewhere and work out longer, and I can pull this machine (about 25lbs) in front of the TV in the living room to watch TV with family (yes, they laugh at me, but it’s worth it), and then pull in front of my bed in the bedroom to watch a chick flick that no one else wants to watch. I even put my elliptical in front of my computer to watch Netflix movies online! It’s easy to carry around.
Another great thing is that, because it’s small, it is MUCH cheaper than a regular elliptical machine so, even it it only lasts a year or two, I can buy another one and still have not even come close to half the money I would have spent on a regular machine.
Sure, it doesn’t have the arm movement, but I find that no handles makes me work my core by staying balanced (really not very difficult, haven’t ever fallen in the 2 months I’ve had it), and I can even carry small weights to really work my arms while I’m doing the cardio workout of the elliptical.
I like the computer that tells you how long you’ve worked out, how many steps you’ve taken, and how many calories you’ve burned. Simple and straightforward. Another great feature: it’s incredibly quiet to use!
The best thing about this is that it is easy to stay motivated, because I can watch TV anywhere and still use it, and I don’t have to go outside in the hot California sun to work out! It’s really a great machine, and a real value for the money. I used Super Saver Shipping to get mine, so I get a great workout several times a week for the price of a couple of months at the gym and without the hassle of driving somewhere just to work out. I love it, and recommend it to anyone that wants to get in shape!

This mini-stepper is a great purchase. I’m able to use 5 lb. weights to also work my arms as I step and get a more intense workout. I also step backwards without the weights since I really have to try to maintain my balance when I’m going backwards. It’s a great backup workout when I can’t get to the gym. I work out on it 20 to 30 minutes with weights and work up a good sweat.

I love this product! I had used a mini-stepper before this and it greatly surpasses the mini-stepper. Putting it together was easy and moving it around is not hard either.
I use it most often when I am watching TV and it is easy to carry from one place to another. Before I used to eat while watching TV and now I am able to enjoy a few shows a week while also getting the benefit of exercise.
People have commented on how much smaller the step is from the gym ellipticals and that is probably true but I don’t feel it as a bad thing, the motion is quite nice. It can easily get my heart rate up or break a sweat. My favorite part is the core workout – there are no handles and you have to stand upright and it really works your core muscles as well. I can feel my abs the next day if I watch my posture while doing this.
The resistance can go from easy to very hard. It counts calories (without knowing your weight so I am not sure what the assumptions are here for your weight). It counts steps and miles walked as well. One complaint about the display is that it doesn’t go over 9999 steps, it resets then. But it does remember your steps and miles walked for a while (a week? two weeks?).
In three words: I love it! and highly recommend it.

I used to be a runner, and didn’t know how I’d like this product, but it’s WONDERFUl. It’s easy to use, keeps track of time/calories for you, and fits anywhere!

I had mixed feelings about purchasing this because of its size and I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to get a good cardio on it. Boy was I wrong. When I workout on this my heart rate ranges from 145-160 which is exactly where I want it to be. It’s very sturdy but does take a little getting used to as far as balancing on it but you can get a great workout from it. The strides are much smaller than what you find in a gym but that’s expected. I think it’s a very effective piece of equipment for the price.

I’ve had lots of trouble losing the weight after having my first child. Mostly I just sat on the couch all day but this thing gets me off my butt! I use it for 30 mins each day and I’ve lost a few lbs already. I use it in a doorway like another person suggested just incase I get off balance. Rocks only slightly but I have those squishy workout pads and I put 2 under it like it suggests in the instructions. Easy to put together and I started using it right away!

The other reviews really helped to make the decision to buy this product & I was not surprised when I opened the package.
If I could change anything, It would be to make the rotation higher (more bend to the knees).

This little Elliptical Trainer is perfect for small spaces. It’s easy to assemble and sturdily built (in fact,it’s quite heavy for its size). The smaller than normal stride takes a little getting used to, and the hands free operation requires some balance, but I get a very good workout from this little machine. It can be a little awkward to move around because it has no handles, per se. And it’s a bit like a stationary unicycle. It’s a very good value for the money.

I purchased this product a few weeks ago and I absolutely love it! It is light enough for me to pull it into the living room to use while watching TV and then store it in the closet when I am done. I love the timer and calorie counter; I am able to work up a good sweat and burn 250 calories in just 25 minutes! I just jump on it while I am watching the news at night and I am finished before the weather is off!
**I read some of the reviews that said it was hard to keep balance, but I have not had any problems at all keeping my balance without holding on to anything.
I highly recommend this product!
