Amazon.com Product Description
Exercise both your lower and upper body in one fluid routine with the Denise Austin Mini Stepper Plus. The Mini Stepper Plus is easy to use, with a pair of cabled resistance handles that work most of your upper body muscle groups, along with a pair of steps to work the lower body. Once on board, you can enjoy a vigorous full-body cardiovascular workout without neglecting your all-important arm, chest, and shoulder muscles. The Mini Stepper Plus relies on dual hydraulic cylinders to provide the resistance, along with an electronic monitor (includes two AA batteries) to track such details as the workout time, step count, strides per minute, and calories burned. And thanks to the ultra-compact design, the Mini Stepper Plus is easy to store when not in use. Other details include a heavy-duty steel frame that holds up to years of use, a smooth pulley design for quiet operation, and a maximum weight limit of 250 pounds. The Mini Stepper Plus--which is endorsed by Denise Austin, one of America's premier fitness authorities--measures 18.5 by 7.1 by 12 inches (W x H x D) and carries a 90-day warranty on parts and a one-year warranty on the frame.

Overall a good product June 4, 2008
Things I like: ease to set up out of the box, appears very durable, can use without cords or with very easily, doesnt' take up much space, battery powered timer counts steps, keeps time and shows calories burned, relatively quiet to use. Things I did not like: The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the instructional video that came with it was a VCR tape...who uses VCR anymore? That makes me question how long this product has been sitting on a shelf somewhere. Fortunately I still have a functional VCR hooked up but haven't looked at the video yet. Overall this is a product I would recommend and do not regret my purchase.
Good, non impact workout May 28, 2008
This exercise stepper is great. The bands are strong and sturdy, and the base is steady. You get a great lower body work out, while increasing the aerobics with changes in pace and arm motions. The resistance from the bands is just as good as free hand weights.
After a few weeks... December 26, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I have only had this item for a few weeks and have not used it as much as I intended yet. I gave it four stars only because I can not yet comment on whether it is durable or gets results. I can say that after just ten minutes, my heartrate is up and I have a pretty good sweat going. I can definitely feel the burn in my legs and butt. Definitely much more of a workout than the four flights of stairs at work that I traverse about six times per day. Its seems like a pretty sturdy device, and contrary to what others have said, I find the resistance cords to add a significant strain to the workout. In any event, they are easily removed if one prefers to use handweights or just shadowbox or play with your Nintendo Wii instead. It is definitely quiet enough to watch TV while using. It doesn't squeak like some others are faulted for doing, though mine does seem to make some kind of swooshing sound when it gets hot. This could be some air movement as the seals heat up. It doesn't seem to affect the resistance or if it does, I seem to automatically compensate for the minute change. All in all, seems like a good value, but that fifth star is going to have to wait for ten pounds and better endurance.
Love this Little Stepper December 17, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've had this thing for a couple of weeks now, and i really like it. It seems really well made. I I really like the adjustable tension.
The arm bands are kind of hard for me to use right now, but maybe in time.
the only complaint: the hidraulycs start to make noise after I've been on it for about 30 min.
Good alternative to elliptical trainer May 18, 2007
18 out of 18 found this review helpful
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.
