Works the BunsSeptember 16, 2008 This thing works. You will feel it right away in your butt and thighs. It does take time to get a rythm going because its really hard to keep your balance. I finally decided to wrap my exercise bands under it and hold onto them for balance. This made a Huge difference and now I put the stepper to good use.
Expect many repairsSeptember 10, 2008 In the 9 months I have owned this stepper, the cable has broken twice, and two bolts that are attached to the steps have snapped clean off. I used this product for about 30-40 minutes a day, a few days a week, which I wouldn't think would cause undue wear and tear. I thought that owning my own stepper would be convenient - but the number of repairs required has made it very inconvenient.
I love it!August 26, 2008 I've only had this for about a month and i'm enjoying it so far. the only exericise i get is walking where i have to go. yes, the machine started squeaking within a wee. most of the time i'm listening to music so i dont much hear it. i think the squeaking is still worth. something i also like about this is that you actually feel it working. i'm only doing 215 steps for now but i feel better physically.
Don't buy this productAugust 25, 2008 I bought this stepper, and within three months the cable broke. Customer Service informed me they would send me a replacement that Friday. It's been three Friday's, and now they tell me the cable will be shipped out either on Friday or next week.
Great BuyAugust 7, 2008 I received this product quickly and I assembled it in 1 minute. It works great! It's easy to move around and it doesn't take up alot of space. Like other reviews say, it does squeek once you start using it for a couple of minutes. But it's not that loud and i don't even notice it after a few minutes. Also it is pretty stiff for the first 20 steps or so everytime you use it. It seems it has to warm up. But i have absolutly no problem with that. I think this product was a great buy!
