Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-02-01 Summary: Great value, except... ... It was easy to setup, and I it works smoothly. I don't think I will be using the monitoring part, it doesn't seem to reset, and doesn't seem accurate. The upper part is slightly skewed, which is the only thing bothering me, but I can live with that. ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-01-30 Summary: Just the right size ... Being that I sit at a desk most of the day I decided I needed to get a stepper. However, I did not want my house to look like a gym so when I saw this one, I thought this is just the right size. It does keep count really well & I like the fact that I can move it out of the way or easily move it from room to room. I deducted "one star" because it was a little aggravating putting together due to the fact that some of the bolts would not tighten without a lot of patience. Plus, it is a little noisy but all in all it's ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2010-02-23 Summary: Good Little Machine ... I have to say that after the mixed reviews written about this machine (especially after a few months of use), I was skeptical but figured for the cost, even a few months use would be worth it. I received this machine on Saturday (thank you Amazon!) and started using it yesterday (Monday). So far, I'm impressed! Took absolutely no time to assemble and (so far) is running smooth and quiet. I am a technical support rep for a software company, so needless to say for the 11 hours I'm at work, I don't get a lot of exercise. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-20 Summary: Compact Workout ... I admit I was very skeptical when I first saw this product, but I decided to try it out anyway because it was so affordable. The stride is short, much more like a cross between a stepper and elliptical. This was a little rough on my knees the first few days, so I started out really slowly. My Orthopedic Surgeon had already checked out my knee pain and decided it was just due to inactivity. Sure enough, within a week or two I had drastically increased the amount of time on the Elliptical. Now I can burn 200 calories ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-02-12 Summary: Great Value ... I purchased this for my wife from Amazon after hearing her talk about needing one for her morning workout. She had not bought on herself because the step trainers she had seen at other retail stores were twice as expensive. I took that as a challenge and knew right away that I would be looking on Amazon later that day. I found a great selection of step trainers and this one fit the budget. It was delivered 3 days later and you should have seen my wife's smile when she opened the box. Another brownie point for me! ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-10-01 Summary: Good Step but dvd no good ... This step is similar to the gym's but a smaller version for home use. The step is fine but if you are buying it and thinking that you are getting a great combo deal; this is not the item. The CD case looked as if it was reproduced and to my surprise when I opened it, an imitation cd was in the case. It was a clear plastic cd look alike with a label affixed to it. There is no cd. And yes, this was purchased new. ...more
