Sunny Health & Fitness Twist Stepper mini steppers for exercise at home Workout Cardio Machine Equipment Gym Stair Master Climber Thigh Space Squat Advanced Twisted Resistance Bands – SF-S0979

I originally purchased a different brand of stepper and returned it within one week because the hydraulics on it gave out. Given that the stepper at the gym is my all time favourite piece of cardio equipment, I was committed to trying to find another so I started to research yet again. I have a couple of other pieces from the Sunny brand and normally I look at the number of reviews before seriously considering the item but for this item in particular I was very curious what the difference was between it and the lower priced one of the same brand. What I realized quickly, and had not of had I not had the first one, is in the size of the stepper itself. This unit is bigger – not in an obtrusive, too big way, but in that it provides a lot more stability. The foot pedals/plates are also substantially bigger and the weight limit is higher. For many this may not seem like a big deal, but it does make a difference in how the hydraulics work. Basically even if you are well under the weight limit, you will find that it will offer more resistance. I did not buy the machine for the computer (useless on any of these machines) or the resistance bands however I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered that the resistance bands are actually short enough to use so I have been using them on occasion. The machine was beyond easy to "assemble" and it is easy to tell when I am adjusting the resistance simply by observing the cable. I have used this stepper pretty much daily for anywhere from 30-60 minutes at a time and it performs well. If it is within your budget, I would strongly recommend this particular model over others. Even if it only lasts me a few months, for $100, I will be satisfied as it is a great, small, quiet, piece of home equipment that provides a good workout. One last thing….the range of height on the pedals is impressive and does the trick. It's not the same as the fancy units at the gym, but those also come with a pricetag of upwards of $2-3K. I am so far very impressed with this brand considering the price point and keeping expectations relative to the price.

I bought this step 2 weeks ago
From the first 10 minutes I knew this could be a great one
So far I am extremely satisfied
It is very flexible to use while watching TV or so and I immediately feel the effect
After 1 week I heard a slight squeaking sound that immediately disappeared after a minimal use of silicone spray

Ich liebe dieses Gerät! Total toll und leise!

This is amazing! it works really well. It saves space and time! for me as a super busy person to have a walk outside, this was a life changer. Now I can play my 30 minutes of Cardio with no excuses, while watching an episode in the mid of my bedroom, standing on this equipment. I can tell u with a moderate effort; I was able to raise the BPM to 150 which is equivalent to a speed of 6.5 on a treadmill. I'm recommending this to all my friends who want to lose weight!
