Nice but squeaky April 11, 2007
14 out of 14 found this review helpful
I have been using my XL Stepper for a month or so. I am pleased that it is very solid, sturdier than the mini stepper it replaced. That stepper had a cable that broke; this stepper is designed without a cable, so it does not have that "weak link." The step and calorie counter has worked fine from day one.
The only complaint I have is that this stepper has squeaked badly since soon after I got it. I have sprayed it liberally with WD-40, but the problem persists. Occasionally it goes through a few minutes without squeaking, but most of the time it makes noise.
Overall I am happy with this device. It helps me get regular exercise, improving my heart's health and keeping my waistline under control.
Update April 8, 2008: After a few months, I finally tried a teflon lubricant from a bicycle shop. Applying this to the bolts is very effective in eliminating squeaking. I have found that an application every month or two is adequate.

I wanted something that would give me a bit of a work out at my desk. My concern was workout first and then frills after that. I chose this because people said it was quite. I have no other "step" machine to compare that to, but mine does definately have a squeak to it. The noise won't shatter glass, but it does get annoying after a while (I use it for 30 minute stretches).
The computer thing that comes with it does not work. I wrote the company and finally got another. That one doesn't work either. This is a frill and is not enough for me to send the whole unit back for. Would be nice to know how many steps I take or how many calories I am burning, but it is not critical. The unit also came with a broken stopper at the end of one of the feet but it does not affect my using the machine so again, is not critical.
When I contacted the customer service department about the defects, they did not respond the first time. I had to write them again and then I got a response asking me questions I had already answered in the first 2 emails. Not very customer service oriented.
Overall, the unit works and that is tha main thing (and apparently, the only thing).

This is very heavy and hard to fit anywhere for storage. Very hard to use even when you adjust the tension to a low setting. I tried working out on it for about a week and gave up...it will most likely be tossed!
good and solid...so far January 18, 2007

First thought, when I took it out of the box, was how sturdy it felt. After the easy instructions were followed it was put together in a flash (not that there is much to do at all). In all fairness, I don't use the counter at all. I just use it for a timed cardio device, I am not looking at the numbers.
I use it everyday and it works. Would recommend.

The machine is very quiet and the construction is solid so it should last for many years. I like the fact that it also tells you how many calories you burn -- the calory-burned count is more motivating than the number of steps taken!
