Sunny Health & Fitness Mini Steppers for Exercise at Home, Stair Step Workout Machine with Resistance Bands, Full Body Cardio Equipment, Optional Free SunnyFit App Connection Smart Stepper

This is a sturdy and well-made little machine. I like everything about it. I had some issues with a missing washer when I got the machine, because Amazon had carelessly thrown the machine into a box. I called the customer service number on the manual and was amazed at the good quality of the customer service. A rep answered the phone promptly, spoke perfect English, and was very helpful. He explained I could use the machine without the washer and ordered a replacement part for me. I'm astonished that any company still exists that produces a solid, sturdy, functional, affordable little machine like this one and with good customer service to boot. This is how things used to be in the 1960s! I'm happy with this little machine. It's compact, easy to store, well-made, and a pleasure to use. Very simple, very functional. The display that shows steps, time, and calories is clear and easy to read. Definitely a nice workout "snack".

A few years ago I started working from home, and while that's awesome, it also caused me to spend a ridiculous amount of time sitting at my desk, as there's no reason to get up to go to the copier, or consult with a co-worker, etc. I can't always go for a 15 or 20 minute walk several times a day, so I wanted something I could do indoors, and something I could do frequently throughout the day during quick work breaks, to counteract all that sitting. Anything I could think of to do on my own (with no equipment) didn't seem like enough. But I have a tiny apartment and really didn't have room for much in the way of equipment. I knew if it was something that could be folded up to fit in a closet or under the bed, well, it'd probably stay there. I needed something that could sit right in the middle of the living room in plain sight, without being 'in my way.' This was it, and it's perfect. I get up from my desk every hour to hour and a half or so and do 5 minutes on this stepper. Five minutes isn't a lot to some people, but I'm out of shape so it's a pretty good workout for me (the way I have the tension set), and it gives me moving breaks all day long to break up all that sitting. Of course it could be used for longer sessions, but the point for my purpose wasn't to do a 30 minute cardio workout just on this, but instead to have some way to easily take 5 to 7 breaks during the day and really get my muscles moving and my heart pumping for a few minutes, to counteract all that sitting. This definitely does that. The stepper came almost completely assembled, you just have to tighten a pulley cable with a knob, and the instructions explain it easily. The resistance bands with handles are adjustable for your height and/or how much resistance you want them to have. They are also optional, you can do the stepper with or without them. I actually usually don't use them. I have some discomfort in my right knee, and was worried this would be a problem with the type of movement on this machine. Using the stepper while standing completely upright does cause some pain in my knee (tho I may have the tension a little high, too). Sometimes I wear a knee brace, which does help - but I also discovered another trick I like. I put the stepper in front of a sturdy table and lean forward with my hands on the table, sort of the same position you'd be in if you were riding a bike. When I use it that way I have no knee discomfort, and as a bonus, I can do more steps in the same amount of time, because it's a little bit easier. So overall, I love it, it works great, I've had no problems with it at all. It's very sturdy and feels well built, but it's not too heavy to move around if you need to reposition it. I'd recommend it for anyone, but especially if space is a concern, and even if you're out of shape and can't do much exercise at one time (like a full 30 minute hard core cardio workout) - because with this, you can do just what you can, all throughout the day, and build up.

Good workout. Sturdy build . (Im plus size and supports me ). Downside : the tracker digital part broke the second day. :( disappointed. Dont wanna take the hassle.of returning it (its heavy ) but besides that I do recommend it.

This is more difficult than I gave it credit for when I bought it! I use in during the cold weather months when I do way too much sitting due to snow and ice outside. I like using it for leg strengthening, getting my heart rate going and also balance. It's a sturdy little piece of equipment that gets the job done. Well worth the money spent!

Easy to assemble and easy to use. Gets the job done and seems pretty sturdy!!

One of the arm bands came broke. It’s a very light weight workout even on full resistance. I have to add a band around my thighs to try to get a burn. After a while on it I start to feel the workout. I only have a certain amount of time to workout everyday and I find myself using too much time trying to get the build up that my time is up when things are finally getting started. I don’t regret the purchase.. still good to throw in the mix of my other workouts!

I would say the best way to evaluate this would be to say that it is much better than you would think that it would be. You actually can get decent exercise by jumping on it and spending 20 minutes or so doing your stepping . One nice thing is that the resistance can be set to a reasonably strong level. I think a young fit person might want a little bit more resistance, but for me in my 70s, but with fairly strong legs, it works well. I have not used any of the controls in the sense of the timer or other controls on the instrument panel so I can’t offer any advice in that regard . The resistance dial is easy to set. Also, the whole unit is very small so it can slide under a small table or something like this to get itself out of the way. One might want the steps to be just a tiny bit larger, but they’re just fine and if you’re looking to find an inexpensive way to get in some moderate exercise, this is a good investment. It’s reasonably easy to balance on the steps, but an older person with balance issues might want to have chairs nearby or something like this in case they were worried about losing their balance. I don’t use the resistance armbands, but they are OK and do add something to the workout.

This is a great little stepper if you want something compact, and the stretch bands for your arms are an added bonus. However, if you have balance issues it might not be a good idea unless you place it near a wall so you can support yourself. I used it to keep myself in shape over the course of the bleak, icy Minnesota winter when walking just isn't safe. The app tracks your workouts, and if you have other Sunnyfit equipment (we have the smart scale) it tracks data from those as well.

Très robuste et simple d'utilisation. Dommage que les bandes de résistance soient un peu trop courtes. Le temps dira le reste.

Very good. Its portable enough to fit in small places and works good. You feel it through the whole body after a few seconds. A good buy.

This is a great machine for getting a sweat on. Yiu can set the step height, so if you're tall or short, want it easy and quick or more difficult and slower, you can easily configure the height needed. I'm 6ft and I've it set to quite a high step height. It's smooth, quiet and stable. The rubber stoppers on the feet are maybe a little plasticky, so it might be better to use it on carpet, or a mat, rather than on laminate or hardwood. I've used it on wood flooring and it feels like repeated use might either mark the floor or the stopper itself will crack. However, there's no sign of that happening yet so it might not be the case. Time will tell. It will really work the legs, be warned! There's good resistance in the stepper, meaning you have to power through the steps. The hand grips are comfortable and fit bigger hands comfortably. If you have giant hands, then maybe not so comfortable. The tension in the arm exercisers is a fraction of that in the stepper, so they're fairly easy. But they help keep the rhythm and balance, so maybe they have a wider use beyond just exercise. This is a very good mini stepper!

Me gustó mucho, se siente firme y resistente, sí la recomiendo
