Under Desk Elliptical Machine, Ellipse Leg Exerciser for Seniors - Portable Seated Pedal Exerciser with 12 Adjustable Speeds & Remote Control, Quiet & Compact for Home Office Use

This is a great piece of equipment, it’s easy to use ,has six speeds frontward and backward, low noise level and able to exercise while you’re sitting.

For the price, works great keeping legs in shape

I would like to provide PROS and CONS to this item.Some background. I bought another top brand with remote and I made a mistake because it was for circulation (no resistance even at 10th setting), the automatic movement was NOT for me and promptly returned it literally within hours of unboxing it. It was lighter than this by about ~7 pounds. You could not stand on it, underdesk only. NOW for this item's review:Pro -- This thing is STURDY! No cheap parts!- What I looked for was less about automatic (which was useless to me) and more resistance- No remote but I don't care, I want resistance, I work from home even on 1 setting after 25 minutes (sitting) I felt the the burn on my legs, that's what I wanted. I also work out 3-4 days at gym. I like this machine. It's GOOD for those lighter inbetween days when saddled at my desk.- It says it has a 20 inch stride length. Sitting down this holds more true, not sure about standing up. I find it's pretty comfortable sitting down (standing up it feels short...) Some other well-known ones like the Sunny machine similar to this has 7" inch stride length...- The measurements and width of the device feel natural. Some are less in width and I feel like my thighs would rub together. I don't have big thighs either but less than 14" seems to be not wide enough... Take note, please.- Great price for what it does, 500-pound max weight and it can do BOTH: Go UNDER desk or exercise STANDING UP. I love that. I'm not tethered to under my desk only and paying the same price.- Comes with nice quality resistance bands (I haven't used them yet with the elliptical so I just know these are bungy cord style and nice durable resistance quality not so easily stretchable like latex bands.)- Yes it's a heavier elliptical but if you STAND and use it you're not going to regret the sturdiness.- DUAL MAGNETIC resistance, just means that as you increase resistance it is on BOTH sides, it will give you the magnetic resistance you need so it's balanced. You want that on BOTH sides.- Mostly quiet see below for details what that means... Still DB is correct under 10 DB, not bad. With the automatic motor ellipticals you can hear the motor running, you cannot hear this motor AT ALL. My office fan on setting 1 is much louder!*YES, I bought the 3-year insurance to go with this, highly recommend doing the same...Cons -- There was a light clicking sound on right pedal after I used it for 20 minutes. I tightened the bolts and added grease (that came with machine) and it went away. I will monitor this over the next 6 months, after putting it together, I don't have the energy to pack it up and send it back, haha. I will be fine, still no major complaints.- Not much else. Didn't have it so long but I will come back once I had it for at least 6 months. With a video!CONCLUSION:Gonna feel so much better about being sedentary when I am using this in my home office all day. I used it for 15 minutes initially + 10 more minutes while typing this review and it felt so nice to know I'm taking care of myself!It will NOT replace gym days, but it's nice for those in-between days where you still want a little something something.RealTalk. Over and out!

its nice very quiet unit that does everything that its supposed to well and its inexpensive too

good seller and fast shipping.

👍

Works well and good low impact machine. I really like it.

Enjoy it for what it is, A leg mover, but NOT really an exerciser An exerciser, generally speaking, implies effort on the user's part. But for the benefit of leg movement, and help with circulation, this is technically a passive leg mover/exerciser. So, actively peddling, is not the intent necessarily for this device. In essence, I believe one could "peddle" the device while the motor is running but the return of effort might not be very high IMO...Let's call it what it is:1. A Passive Exerciser Device.2. A Circulation Enhancer/Booster.3. A Rehabilitation or Mobility Aid.These are better examples of what this device does, but certainly it can be a useful tool for building leg mobility and circulation, for those who have limited leg strength or limited movement capability due to arthritis, hip or other joint replacements, etc., where passive exercise would be beneficial, particularly to keep circulation and muscle movement, thus preventing or slowing deterioration....My personal experience so far?Overall, it does what is advertised (spins one's feet/legs) but it is a bit noisier than expected. Also the rollers (bearings) under the foot pads on THIS unit have become noisy after about 1.5 hours of use. This may get worse, but only time will tell.This device's peddles do/does all the work for you. You "could" peddle along when the motor is running but that's not how this unit is designed necessarily.NOT FOR STANDING or STEPPING ON:It is IMPORTANT TO NOTE: You CANNOT stand on or use this unit as a "STEPPER" or "PEDDLING" exerciser. It's NOT stable and it cannot or will not hold a person's weight.The user should sit in front of it with one's body squarely in front of the device, and allow one's feet to "REST" on the peddles. Then, turn it on and set it to whatever speed or program you desire. There are FIVE speeds with forward and reverse modes. The unit also has a couple program modes, but I feel that they are unnecessary. It also displays speed setting, time, distance, calories burned, but the display is virtually useless, as it also "cycles" through each instance, making it hard to really see what your progress is.HOW FAST DOES IT SPIN?The speeds I am quoting below are approximates, due to foot weight, resistance, and the unit's motor setup, but here are the speeds my unit have as follows:First Speed: About 30 cycles per minute. Very Slow. ...slow! And IMPORTANT NOTE: This device's motor may NOT move the pedals for a person whose legs are particularly large or stiff from obesity or other medical/physical condition due to weight and/or limited movement ability. In Speed Setting #1, the device's motor spins too slow and does not have the power at this cadenced to keep the peddles rotating, and so keep this in mind of you need a super slow setting for your particular needs.Second Speed: 45 to 50 cycles per minute. At this speed and beyond, the limitations on moving heavier than average legs should not be an issue.Third Speed: 60 cycles per minute.Fourth Speed: 75 cycles per minute.Fifth Speed: = > 100 cycles per minute. Pretty Fast. ...fast enough for most people desiring foot, leg and hip movement. This speed (and #4 is/are fast and is better suited for those who don't have sensitive or special rehabilitative needs, IMHO.FINAL NOTE: This exerciser will move your feet and leg joints, and to a certain extent, One's hip joint area(s).I feel that the word, "Exerciser" is misleading in the context of what this device does. You are NOT exercising as any effort to spin the peddles is not really much of a return of "investment"... You are having your lower extremities, moved by the device, which I believe would/could help with circulation, and keeping one's leg muscles and circulation healthy by the peddle movement, cycling movement.REMINDER:Once again, This device is NOT meant for standing on, or peddling, however, I have been able to peddle (sitting down). And, while I can peddle it, and faster than whatever setting is being used, the benefit is seemingly minimal in this case, at least for me anyways.So IN Short: Enjoy it for what it is, A leg mover, but NOT an exerciser!
