Sunny Health & FitnessTotal Body 2-in-1 Smart Stepper Machine for Home with Handlebar and Resistance Bands, Total Body Workout, Adjustable Hydraulic, LCD Monitor, Non-Slip Pedals – 330 LB Max Weight

I received this device about one month ago. This is the first stepper device I have ever used. I really like this device. Assembly was simple - just follow instructions carefully. All of the hardware is installed where it will be going after assembly, so you have to remove the bolts from the frame so there is no little bag of nuts & bolts. There is a bag containing batteries, computer cable, cable fishing device, and an allen wrench The only hardware item that is not installed to it's final location on the frame is the tension adjustment knob. That is in the styrofoam piece with the computer. Assembly requires only an allen wrench which is included. I used a small piece of tape when installing the computer cable as the wire kept sliding back in to the lower tube when I was trying to install it on the machine. This is the only thing that is missing from the instructions which would make assembly even easier. When you pull the computer cable through one of the tubes in the handle shaft simply tape it off at the top of the tube until you get the tube installed. They even include an item (cable fishing device) to make getting the computer cable from the step count sensor in the base of the device up through the handle shaft to the computer very simple! I believe this device design and packaging was very well thought out. You will probably be surprised when you see how small the shipping package is. Don't let this concern you because it is small because of the way the parts are placed inside. I bought this device to help with my diabetes. I cannot walk for exercise and am out of shape. I needed a low-impact exercise like stepping. I could barely do 30 seconds on this thing initially. After using it fairly regularly for a 3 - 4 weeks I am up to 30 minutes a day and can see the decrease in my blood sugar and my physical stamina has increased. My goal is to do 60 minutes per day. I weighed ~ 240 lbs which is 10 lbs under the weight limit for this device of 250 lbs. I did read in one review about a guy who weighed 320 lbs and had no problems until after six months. At six month a weld broke. Considering he was 70 lbs over the weight limit for the device I am impressed. I myself now weigh 220 lbs. Weight loss was due to both exercise and a healthier diet. I Bought this particular stepper primarily because of the low price. I wasn't sure if I would actually be able to use one of these steppers and I don't need an $800 towel rack. This device has a very small footprint and is not too heavy to move before & after exercising with it. I keep mine in my bedroom which is only 10 x 10 and contains a queen size bed, a night stand, two bureaus, and an armoire. The bedroom was tight before I bought his device and I thought I would have to keep it outside the bedroom, but, it fits in nicely. I simply move it out of the corner and put it in front of the TV to watch while stepping and move it back when done. The small computer on this device is a big help. It keeps track of time and counts (# steps). I don't believe the calorie count that is reported is correct. It seems low when compared to some formulas I found on line for stepper exercise. I am not sure how much use I will get out of this thing before it breaks, but, I think it looks reasonably heavy-duty especially for a cost of $63.99 including shipping! I was very skeptical about the device's robustness at that price I was very pleased when I opened the shipping carton up and got a first hand look at the quality of the device. It looks reasonably robust which actually surprised me. I see no reason why this device shouldn't last me quite some time. I have not tried varying the resistance so I cannot comment on that - I am using it with minimal resistance and that is enough for me. I initially purchased this device for evaluation thinking that if I actually used it then I could buy a more expensive one. Now after using this device for a while I don't believe I will need to do that. I believe I should be able to use this device 30-60 minutes every other day for years as long as the device is lubricated regularly. I have not heard the funny noises that a couple of other reviewers have mentioned, but, most of them seemed to be using the device for a longer time than I do in each session. If you are looking for a medium duty stepper that is inexpensive with a simple computer then this device is ideal! I cannot imagine getting a better deal for the money! This is the first review I have ever written for a product purchased online. I wrote it because I wanted to help people out who are considering purchasing one of these. Do it - you will not be disappointed! That is if you actually use it and don't turn it into a towel or clothing rack. Either way for the cost of $65 including shipping it is worth the risk and I hope this review helped. Happy stepping.

I just received the Sunny Twister Stepper yesterday. It took me about 15 minutes to put it together. Assembly was very easy. I panicked at first because I didn't see any bags of screws but they were all already in place. Thats good quality control measure if you ask me. The manufacturer doesnt have to worry about counting screws, just inspect the parts to make sure theyre all in place... and that they actually in place. I gave it a couple of steps last night and decided to actually work out this morning. Now, I'm FAR from a gym head. Ive been thinking about going back but I've kinda become a germ-a-phobe and gyms are like viral incubators in my opinion. So I wanted something inexpensive, that doesnt take up a lot of space and was quiet. This fits all of what I was looking for. It provides just the right amount of resistance for you to work on your stamnlina and endurance. I actually feel the burn in my legs and inner thigh.I love how it doesnt just step in a boring up and down motion. It actually goes side to side. Not so much like twisting but more like swaying, or skiing. Either way its pretty effective for a machine that costs less than $100. It makes virtually no noise however I would suggest using it on a carpet or a pad if you have hardwood floors. It doesn't have wheels but its light enough for you to move about as you need with little effort. It also has a small footprint and can be stored in a closet or a corner quite easily. The build quality ia suprisingly better than expected. The little step counter seems pretty accurate. I was actually counting along with it until I started really sweating.I've already recommended this to a friend of mine as we're encouraging eachother to get fit and lose weight.Heres the thing, if you're a gymbody, this probably isn't for you because it doesnt have enough resistance to match the equipment that you'll find at the gym. But if you're someone like me, who hasnt seen the inside of a gym in years and want to be able to start at home, I think you'll be pleased with this stepper. I know I am.

Easy to set electronic monitor. I use it 1-2× per day while watching TV. It's comfotable to use, works well, the handle bars allow for easy positioning & safety & it is well built. My wife wishes it would lift higher & wish you could adjust the amount of tension. I do half of my reps with my toes 2/3 to the back & half all the way to the front to work different muscles. It's better than others I have used.
