I have reduced circulation in my legs. I was ordered by my doctor to put on a fitbit and walk several miles a day and do so many flights of stairs. Neither of which my knees appreciated nor did I at 2 am when the weather was bad and my only option was to walk or take a bunch of really nasty medications that still didn’t fix the problem.
I’ve tried treadmills and stationary bikes and not liked either. Someone recommended this very unit. Salvation.
Lightweight and it does come in parts, but easy to assemble. It fits under the coffee table. The stirrups do have a couple of snap notches for adjusting. I put this next to the couch, slouch a little, put on the earbuds and fire up my tablet and start in. The range of motion is excellent and easy to do-very little effort. It has resistance but I have it ‘free’ mode because what I need is the muscles to move and naturally force the accumulated fluids and that back out. This does it with minimal impact to my hips, knees, and ankles. It is almost mindless to get it started and just pump away until the legs feel better. No more restless legs and that strange ache. I don’t push it hard or fast, but at a moderate steady pace. It’s not really sturdy enough for fast or hard, but for what I do need, it’s perfect.
Best investment of ($17.06 plus tax when I bought it). I don’t care about fancy, I just care about results. It has given me back a lot of sanity. No more doing that strange bouncy bit with the legs (fidgeting on steroids). No more walking in weird weather. No more something taking up that much space and I hate using it. I give this five of five stars and two of two legs.
I need to go on a long trip soon and it will come apart and fit in a suitcase-it will be a bit of a space eater but it will break down to fit in one of my wheeled suitcases. Win-win.

Highly recommend by my physical therapist, to exercise at home. Been using it going twice a day. I had a total left knee replacement and this exercise comes highly recommended.

This little exerciser was inexpensive BUT, the pedal is too narrow for bare feet and while using it, sitting down, my feet tend to “slide” out. I guess wearing shoes while using this, would fill the gap.

I enjoy watching TV murder mysteries and was worried that I was wasting not only my brain but my body too! So now I found the solution for my body (at least). My mom has a similar machine so I decided to order this one and give it a try.
Assembly was a no-brainer which is an important issue for me. I no longer purchase anything I have to put together.
For $25 it is a good buy… but I wouldn’t pay a dollar more. It is pretty flimsy and wobbly but it gives me a good workout for 45 minutes to an hour. I definitely feel it in my legs and I am sure my jeans fit better the next day!
It is an addition to 30 minutes of Richard Simmons in the mornings and a 30 minute plus walk during the day, on top of slogging up and down all the stairs in my house. I would not depend on these pedals for my only exercise routine of the day… it’s just an extra.
I also use light weights for my arms while using this, all from my easy chair. It’s really a lazy way to exercise and I love it!
Having said that, it is pretty annoying as the machine runs away from me about every 10 to 15 minutes. Without warning the feet flip around and then the thing slides across the carpet. The only way I could think of stopping this would be to use it up against a wall. But it only takes 30 seconds to retrieve it, flip the rubber feet back around, and I am pedaling away again. I am going to try gluing the feet in place to see if that helps.
I use it with socks on my feet. I take a women’s size 9 athletic shoe which is too bulky to fit in the stirrups. Maybe a smaller tennis shoe or casual shoe would fit but I haven’t tried so I don’t know.
Now I have this exerciser I am addicted to using it and don’t feel so guilty about watching all those whodunits on TV!

It works for about 5 minutes at a time, at which point you have to readjust the tension bolt. You could continue for maybe 5 more minutes, but then it needs like an hour of cooldown so it stops overheating. I just used it for 25 minutes so I could watch some Youtube videos and around 16 minutes in, the heat had traveled down the bar and through the plastic pedals. It began squeaking at around 15 minutes in from being so overheated.
I expect this to last maybe a week of light use – definitely no more than 30 minutes a day. But if you’re fine with those restrictions, then by all means, purchase this product for home use.
Might want to keep away from dogs and children, though, due to the heat generated.
———————————————————————
UPDATES – Machine was used for 30-60 minutes a day with reasonable intensity (115 to 125 bpm), spaced out during the day. Here were the results:
Day 3 – Adjusting the tension after 10 minutes, put arm down to tun the knob and got a small burn. Not the blister you see in the other photos of this product, just an immediate red mark. Machine works fine, just continues to overheat. Again, you MUST space out your use of this machine or you WILL get burnt. Dog has already been successfully trained to stay away from it.
Day 5 – Some random metal pieces fell off from who knows where, and machine now permanently squeaks. Turn your volume up to drown it out.
Day 6 – Foot strap fell off during the night when I wasn’t around. I found the plastic pieces on the ground, looks like they were strained and fell out over night (since the pedal rests downwards, the plastic supports the strap when it isn’t in use). Still usable, but now annoying. One of the stabilizing feet fell off the bottom as well, but I just popped it back on; it wasn’t a big deal.
Day 9 – Tension screw has to be screwed exceptionally tight or else it doesn’t add any resistance at all. Exceptionally tight requires a can opener gripper and two hands. It remains screwed in for longer now, though, so that’s technically a good thing.
