“I love this elliptical! I see a lot of people posting about how they use it under a desk but I use it standing up and can't imagine having a desk tall enough where I wouldn't hit my knees. It is hard to balance sometimes, but I 'run' on my elliptical right in front of my dresser so I have something to hold on to to keep my balance. The only con is that sometimes the pedals get a little loose and have to be tightened and it squeaks A LOT. I try to oil it regularly but after half an hour of use it begins to squeak again. I only ever use it when I watch TV or listen to music so the squeaking doesn't really bother me, but it may bother others. I love the little screen that tells me how many steps I am doing!Also another thing that may bother people is that the pedals really hold dirt and dust. I regularly brush it to get the dirt out and use wet wipes to get the stubborn stuff! And it's really heavy. So if you think you can lug this thing around a lot that's not going to be fun. But it is moveable.”
“I have had for 4 days and find that it is really easy to use while working at desk. I have very bad osteoarthritis and need knee replacements and lately sitting too long at my desk all day is painful when I try and get up. I used for 45 minutes on my first workday and it was intermittently throughout the day and my fitbit says I am in my fat burning mode as I use it. I have it at a lower resistance setting to start out. It makes a little swooshing noise nothing that would bother me if someone else was using in the office. I am lucky because I work from home and don't have to worry about that. I can easily type on computer and use while working on computer all day. I am giving it 4 stars only because it has no syncing power with my fitbit I would have to connect to ankle which I have not tried yet so far I am just manually entering in the data in fitbit at a low intensity setting.”
“I love that it can travel with me to work, that it is not that heavy, small enough to fit in my trunk and super easy to assemble. I suggest that you watch a you tube which I did. I also really like that I feel the resistance without needing a power source. I actually feel a burn, but a better burn while standing. Please be careful while standing, and hold on to a chair or something. I might buy another for my mom, who lives in a small apartment. This will not take up a lot of room in a small apartment.I think it was kind of pricey, but my health is priceless.”
“Just got it 7 days ago. So far, it is great! Easy to assemble and quiet. Already have 240 miles on it. There was a minor problem after 2 days with a pedal squeaking. A shot of WD-40 took care of that and it is super quiet again. I use it in my office and love it. It is as advertised.With 1 major exception. DO NOT USE THIS WHILE STANDING. The company says you can use it standing up. However, if you read the reviews, the people who use this while sitting generally really like the machine, those who tried to use it while standing have written all the negative reviews. If you want an elliptical that you can use while standing do not buy this product. However, if you want something for under desk or to use exclusively while sitting, then this product is a great item. The only thing it is lacking is a "handle", so that moving the unit would be easier.Will update in a few months after it is "broken in".”
“Since Covid, I am working from home and working long hours and sitting way too much. I needed to improve my home office setup, so I bought myself a standup desk and a standing pad. Next, I wanted to get an elliptical for my desk. I researched many online and read their reviews. I didn't want to spend a ton of money, because I wasn't even sure how well it was going to work for me. Was this going to turn out to be something that I used when I first got it and then get pushed aside only to collect dust? I wanted something that I could use both sitting and standing. I wanted something that wasn't too loud and could fit under my desk while I used it. I am able to use this under my desk height of 29" while pedaling. I am 5'4". It has a counter on it. But, the bonus feature is that when I use it while standing, my Fitbit picks up the steps! Also, when using it while standing, it challenges my balance and engages my core, which I really need since I've been sitting too much. Glad I bought this one!”
“I've been using this elliptical for a week now and it just started squeaking, followed another reviewers suggestion to use silicon lubricant (not WD40) and it's back to not squeaking. Works great for under my desk and standing as well. I'm 5'5" and can use it without any problems, the stride length is pretty good too and I can work up a sweat if I need to. My 6' partner tried it and found it to be hard to use because of his height. The stride wasn't long enough.”
“I still use this a lot for exercise while I work from home, and I feel like I can get a good workout and break a sweat with it at the higher resistance levels, but after the first month it got extremely noisy. I wouldn't be able to take a phone call while pedaling because the machine is just too loud.”
