My now 92 year old mother has been using this now for three years.. has put allot of miles on it and it is just perfect in everyway.. easy to store and light for anyone to move around. Perfect for seniors or anyone that works in a office.

Does what I need it for at a good price. Used a model that cost twice as much and I couldn't tell the difference other than the rubber foot pads.

I read a ton of reviews on these machines before buying this one, and I expected it to be a little better than it is, but I guess it's pretty good for such a low price. The HEAT thing is not a joke! Do NOT touch this thing in the middle after you've been using it, because those bars feel like a frying pan!

I also had the problem of it traveling like crazy--the rubber feet do very little to hold it still. The only place I have been able to use it is a narrow place where I can push the apparatus up against the wall and have my chair backed up against a bookcase.

The tension felt nice and challenging when I first tightened it, but after I pedaled for awhile, it loosened up. I repeatedly re-tightened it half a dozen times, then gave up. I examined it afterwards to try to figure out if I had assembled it wrong [this is when I almost burned my hand!], but I cannot figure out why the tension will not hold. I think I will simply have to use it like a bike in a very low gear, and pedal very rapidly. (I DID work up a sweat, but my apartment is always 80 degrees, so that was a factor!) I did not feel it was much of a cardio work-out, but if I force myself to pedal more and more rapidly, I think it will be good.

It is certainly a BARGAIN in terms of what kinds of exercise equipment you can fit into a studio apartment. BOTTOM LINE: it's a good buy for a small budget and small apartment, and you can get some exercise on it.

Not very challenging, but better than nothing May 9, 2008

I bought this exerciser because I'm having knee problems and can't walk long distances anymore, but I don't want to become sedentary and gain weight. Unfortunately, even at the tightest tension, it's not enough to break a sweat even after 20 minutes. And at the highest tension, the pedaling tends to become a little jerky unless you're careful. I bought some ankle weights and that seemed to help somewhat, but it still took about 15 minutes to start sweating even a little and that was probably only because I started pumping my arms too. I will continue using it, but it will have to be a back-up form of exercise rather than primary, and it'll have to be supplemented with the ankle weights and probably also some dumbbells. On the plus side, it's very lightweight and stores like a dream. In answer to the comments about it getting hot, it does, but you just have to be aware and pick it up from the legs rather than in the middle. This exerciser has its place, but if you want to burn serious calories, it's not for you.
