 Broke in six weeks November 22, 2008
My wife and I used this stepper for about six weeks before it broke. The unit has a steel cable that controls tension--the cable snapped. We had used it for about twenty minutes every other day, and we both weigh under 200 pounds. To make matters worse, there are apparently no replacement parts available for the unit. In light of that, I would rate the durability and value of this stepper as poor, and I would not recommend it to others.
 Works OK...but not nearly as well as hoped October 24, 2008
I ordered this to replace a similar version made by Sharper Image that I used to own, but this bears little resemblance other than the motion of stepping up and down. The tension control continuously needs tightening, which disrupts my "workout". As well, if you want some serious stepping action, this just doesn't offer enough resistance...no matter how much you tighten the knob. This is probably best suited for someone who only wants light aerobic exercise and doesn't like a hard and heavy workout, who also doesn't mind stopping every 5 to 10 minutes to adjust the knob...being careful not to touch the assembly underneath that gets hot from use. Wouldn't buy again, but can't afford to replace it and it's to heavy to return, so I'm keeping it.
 Works very well. October 15, 2008
I've been using this product for a little while now and I'm pregnant. It gives me the much needed workout without having to really strain myself. My feet fit just right on the foot petals and I wear a size 8 so that might be a little difficult for people who have bigger feet. But overall this product is worth the money spent.
Great little stepper September 29, 2008
I live in a small home and I wanted something I could do while watching the news every day. It is easily stored out of sight and easy to set it up. The price is good. It seems to be well made.

The first day I had this product, I used it for about 20 min. when I had to stop due to the smell of burning rubber. This is the smell of the internal seals of the pneumatic tubes beginning to melt. The device simply cannot withstand 20 minutes of use due to heating of the tubes. After that I kept my workouts to only 15 minutes. This is not enough for a cardio workout, but as part of bigger routine it's ok. After 2 weeks of using it 2-3 times each week for 15 minutes, the step counter/timer broke. So I began timing my workout with the clock. Now after less than 3 months of use, the cable is so stretched out and the resistance so low that it is ready for the dumpster. I weight 155 lbs, so I'm well below the maximum weight for this unit. Denise should be ashamed of herself!
