Product Description
Mini Stepper by DMI The Mini Stair Stepper was featured in the Wall Street Journal as their "Best Value Mini Stepper!" The compact, sturdy mini stepper is ideal for toning the waist, calves, hips and thighs. It features a unique adjustable tension pulley system that makes stepping action smoother for low impact exercise. Dual hydraulic cylinders on the mini stepper work independently, allowing you to replicate stair climbing. The mini stair stepper is constructed of heavy-gauge steel and the foot rests are high-impact composite. There is a built-in digital computer which calculates elapsed time and number of steps, batteries included. The non-skid feet prevent mini stepper from slipping.

Good for the price August 17, 2008
This stepper is about the cheapest around. My wife is about 118 lbs and she is happy using it. But when I (206 lbs) stand on it, I can feel the pedals flexing a bit. We are ok with this product, but if you are a very heavy person, this stepper might break, as others reported in their review.
So far so good June 23, 2008
I've used this stepper 2 or 3 times. So far so good. Good workout on my legs.
 Excellent Product October 3, 2007

My wife was looking for a good 30-45 min workout. The other steppers she tried did not have an adjustment level therefore could not obtain a good cardio without killing her legs. This stepper has an adjustment level that allows her to work out for an hour + at a time. The stepper is very durable and appears to be made very well. After a couple days using it, it began to squeek some but a little 3 in 1 oil silenced that. She tried the other steppers out there on the market and they don't compare to the quality of this one. Highly recommend. I must add that the shipping and communication from the seller is excellent.
 Great... Until it breaks. September 28, 2007

I've bought two of these in the past year... Both had welds snap rendering them unusable.
Awesome, excellent stepper. Good as anything at the health club. November 23, 2006

I rarely do this. Who has time to review products? But with this item, I feel the world needs to know how great it is. I can't say I know every home stepper out there, but I have been burned before. And I used to pay a lot for a health club membership, largely because it had a great step machine. My advice for now: Just buy this one. It's as good as the one I used at the health club; I mean it! You will not find anything better. And here's why. Smooth, quiet, compact, solid (well made), adjustable, and consistent. I include "consistent," because one stepper I owned was almost impossible to operate until it heated up - imagine that? But not the Mini Stepper Exerciser: Get on it, and your first step is just like your last, and I'm on the equipment for as much as an hour at a time. A long time, you say? That's nothing. Because the hardest part about exercising is finding time to do it. And a lot of people don't want to dedicate that time. And that's what's good about the Mini Stepper Exerciser. You can do it while you do something you probably already do: watch TV. Imagine working out your calves, thighs, and all the way up to your butt and even beyond while you watch Dexter. Now, just two important tips I'd like to mention about this machine. Your stepper can start to squeak. Don't put up with it; you can get it back to total quiet mode with teflon lubricant (from the bicycle shop). If you don't find the "spot," keep spraying every moving joint. Sometimes it takes overnight for the lubricant to reach the squeak. Also, read the directions about adjustment: To get to the highest, hardest step level, raise both steps at once to their highest level, then turn the knob. You may need to keep turning, even if you think you've got it all the way if you want to step high and hard. I wasn't raving about this machine until I figured out how to get it to a worthwhile level. Oh, and here's a trick for those athletic types (yes, I'm one of those): put an old pillow under the feet when you step. Really. The new thinking with exercise is, be off balance when you do it. Using the pillow this way is the equivalent of running on sand in your bare feet or doing crunches on a stability ball. Instability works the deeper, smaller muscles that simple movements, alone, don't give you. Hey, get off that couch, boys and girls. It's so important. And sure, watch the tube, but become a stepping potato from now on. This item is your answer to all your exercise dilemmas.
