Sunny Health & Fitness Under Desk Elliptical Machine, Portable Sitting or Stand Peddler Exerciser for Seniors Home Office, SunnyFit App Access via Bluetooth with Optional Handlebar or Resistance Band

I started using this the same day I received it. Other than popping the 2 AAA batteries into the LED readout, there is no assembly required. It's ready to use right out of the box. It's solidly built and is heavy, so it doesn't shift around, even when peddling as fast as I can on a polished wood floor. It has a low profile, which makes it perfect for my 27" (in height) desk and I'm short (5'1"). The elliptical motion is more forwards and backwards with a small delta in up and down motion, so if you have less clearance under your desk, it won't cause the issue I had with an under-desk bicycling exerciser. The bicycling pattern made me move my legs with a lot more up and down motion, which in turn caused my body to move side to side. This is not great when you are trying to type on your keyboard, or are in a video meeting. The magnetic resistance goes from almost no resistance to high resistance in 8 increments and is manually set using the big dial on the front of the unit. No dependence on being near an electrical outlet lets you exercise anywhere there's a flat surface big enough for it and something to sit on. This is not a model built for standing on. So far, it's everything I've been looking for - heavy, quiet, easy to use, low profiled, perfect resistance range, sturdy, and reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend this under-desk elliptical. NOTE: I bought this unit because my job is totally sedentary, and this was causing edema in my ankles. I've only been using the elliptical for 2 weeks, and the edema has lessened dramatically in that short a span of time. I'm expecting the edema to become a non-issue by the end of this month. Yay for staying in motion even when you're sitting at a desk all day long!

Def. rec. Here's why: I bought this because it looked from the video/ pictures that the stride was bigger than most and I'd read in a review that this product does consider stride to be a differentiating factor and that it had great reviews/ free returns. The stride was what I hoped for. When you're going fast as the woman is in the video, you feel a distinct and awesome burn. It's addictively satisfying and I found myself always wanting to pop on, even for a few minutes. It's just a cool movement. That said, the machine has sort of a hitch if you're going slow. As a result, I found it difficult to ride it while standing at my desk, which was the reason I bought it. The InMotion Stamina elliptical was on sale (with free returns as well), so I decided comparison shop. The InMotion one is super-smooth, but not nearly as satisfying as the Sunny Health. The Sunny Health elliptical feels more professional and def. a better workout as a sitting/ standing machine. The InMotion was a great standing machine but doesn't nearly perform like the Sunny Health. When I had my partner and daughter try it, both overwhelmingly preffered Sunny Health for the same reasons. This machine is very well constructed and almost gym-grade. I rec this product if you're a man, a bigger person, like a good gym-like workout. If you're just trying to find a smooth ride that doesn't require a whole lot of "working out", the cheaper ones suffice. For the record, I'm keeping both! Sunny Health as my primary physical workout and InMotion as my standing option.

TLDR: great to use under your desk, terrible as a standing elliptical. Pros: 1. Pretty quiet (not silent but definitely not disruptive) 2. Fairly lightweight and portable - small for an elliptical but still not something you'd want to lug around everywhere 3. Super easy to change the resistance 4. Arrived already assembled 5. I've been using it for months with nothing breaking 6. It has pads on the bottom so you won't scratch up the floor moving it Cons: 1. Stride is incredibly short and kind of shallow so even a short person can't safely use this while standing. 2. I wish there was an option to increase the resistance even more but honestly that's not a huge deal I gave this 4 stars because it works super well for what I needed but doesn't do everything it promised to do because it's completely unusable as a standing elliptical. I planned to use it for keeping my legs moving while I'm sitting at work all day. It works great if you're seated and has helped me remember to sit with better posture. It also seems to help the circulation in my legs (sometimes my feet start to fall asleep if I'm sitting for too long) because I can mindlessly use my elliptical while I work. It's very quiet and I've been able to use it during zoom meetings without issues. It is loud enough that someone sitting in your office with you would be able to hear a whirring sound, but it's honestly really unobtrusive and I haven't had anyone complain once they ask what the sound is and I explain. I love that you can easily change the resistance and that I can pick it up to move it to different rooms of the office or even take it home if I'm working from home. I've also seen that some people put this on a table and use it for their arms. I have no desire to do that but I'm sure it would work fine for that purpose. However, if you're looking for an elliptical with a small footprint to use while standing, please save yourself the money and hassle because this will not work. I'm fairly short (5'3) and the stride on this thing is so short that it hurts my shins after less than a minute if I'm standing. I suggest looking into a different brand with a longer stride and probably handlebars if you want to use it while standing. I have good balance and I'm pretty small but the unnatural stride makes me feel unsteady.

Really liked this to begin with. Mostly assembled when arrived, easy set-up. Starting knee recovery slowly. As I worked my way up to speed, unfortunately the machine would sway back and forth. Too unsteady with a very small front bar. Actually fell off at one point due to my leaning. Good quality but just not steady enough for me. Sent it back with approval and refund from Amazon.

I’ve used it for under desk exercises only ( never stood on ), however after two weeks of use and during the exercise at level 3 a washer fall of and the paddling arm become lose and started to make lots of noise. Considering the high label price for this item it should have been premium quality and heavy duty. I’m totally unsatisfied.

私はステッパーメインですが全く違いますね ステッパーは数十分でも筋トレに近いくらい負荷がかかるけど こちらはルームランナー寄りの製品で負荷は低めでやや万人向け 立って使うと最初はふらふらすると思いますが 壁に手をつけると楽に運動出来ます 頑丈そうなのは良いですが駆動部が油でベタベタしてますね 埃っぽい部屋で使うと汚らしくなりそうです 使わない時はしまった方がよさそう 私はステッパーには安いミシン油でメンテナンスしてますが こちらもミシン油で良さそうです 総評としてはステッパーよりは負荷が低い分、無理なく続けやすそうかな ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー 【追記】 最大強度で60分、しっかり運動出来る 本当に満足で買って良かったです ステッパーを買う前に知ってたらこっちを買ってました

I bought this so that my husband can work from home and exercise at the same time. The pedals' movements were not so smooth initially, but after working it out for a day, the next day is definitely so much easier to move. Recommended for those working from home. A quick note that though I bought a unit that allows usage while standing, it is ackward without the handles that I'm used to in the gyms. For those expecting that this is going to be smooth standing exercise, just be aware that it's not going to be as easy ;)

J'aime bien il est efficace

Love it
