This is a great elliptical machine. It operates smoothly and makes NO sound. Assembling the pedals was a piece of cake and took less than 10 minutes. Unfortunately, the pull-out drawer for my keypad hangs just low enough that I can't use it under my desk, but it's right beside it for easy access. It doesn't slide or move on the floor. I think the display could be bigger and the readings more spaced out to make them easier to read, but that's a minor flaw. I've had other elliptical machines that weren't as efficient. I researched the different brands so as not to make the same mistake and this was rated #1. I see why! Great purchase. PS I'm 70+ years old, so it's great for seniors who need to get moving!

Because of health issues, and, let's face it, just plain laziness, I have not exercised much at all in several years. Hip and back problems have not allowed me to do any kind of exercise that involves being on my feet for very long. After a stern warning from my doctor this fall about my excessive weight, I decided to check out non-weight bearing exercises. Then I saw the Cubii commercial on tv. This looked like something I could do - just sit (I'm good at that) and pedal. This machine is a bit pricey and I was afraid like the treadmill and exercise bike that I had owned in the past, that I might not get my money's worth out of it. But I was wrong. This was very easy to assemble. Took only a few minutes. I placed it under my desk at my home office where I work several hours a day. I used a kitchen rug under it more to protect the vinyl floor than to keep the Cubii from moving. This thing is heavy and isn't going anywhere. I like the 'pads' that are included that go under the wheels of office chairs which keeps the chair from rolling around while pedaling. Once I got the positioning of the chair right, I was off and running - or pedaling as the case may be. I was amazed at how very quiet this is. I started on level 1, did that for two weeks, then moved to level 2 for two weeks, and so on. Whenever I felt the tension was starting to get easy I moved up a level. I'm now at level 5. I really feel a difference in the strength and firmness of my muscles in my legs, butt and hips. And if I was sitting up straight (I'm a sloucher) I'd probably feel it in my abs too. And the best thing for me, I have absolutely no back or hip pain from using the Cubii. I find using it not only effortless but mindless which means I'm pedaling without even thinking about it. So on a busy computer day I might get as many as 6,000 steps in (about an hour total). For those that have reviewed this and said it's not really exercise, I disagree. This may not be aerobic exercise (unless you're pedaling really fast) but it's not meant to be. It's meant for people like me who need to ease back into exercise and strengthen muscles we haven't used in a long time so we can get up and do other things. And I definitely know it's working my muscles and burning some calories. Since I started using my Cubii about two and a half months ago, I've lost 15 lbs. Disclaimer... I've also started eating better at the same time which also helped some. When I don't have to concentrate on my work, I have some 1 lb hand weights that I use while pedaling to get some upper body movement and exercise. And at some point, I'm going to try some of the online videos for Cubii exercises that are more aerobic. Overall, I LOVE my Cubii. I have used it every single day since I set it up and I know I will continue to use it every day because its so easy and it makes me feel good about life again.

Whisper quiet. I love it. Easy to use. Easy to set up. It is a bit heavy to pick up so moving it around isnt ideal but its great.

Very well made but VERY heavy. I bought this for my senior mother. She could not move it around. It is 25 lbs and too tall to slide under a chair. If you are ordering for a senior parent I suggested ordering a lighter and more compact unit.

Just received my Elliptial and absolutely love it!! I was pleasantly surprised how quiet it is and even have my husband using it. I highly recommend this product. In addition, it was very easy to assemble.

Bought this for a family member who has several health issues, including Pots. This allows them to sit in a comfortable chair while doing very low impact exercise. They like it. It seems to be well built. It was packaged very nicely. The motion is very smooth, at least with the resistance set low - we’ve not tried it with higher resistance levels yet. We are very pleased with it. Final thought: It’s a bit heavy for its size. I find that to be a good thing, but if you will have to move it a lot (say putting it away in a closet), then just be aware that for someone who is weak due to age or illness it may be difficult to move.

The Cubii has been a godsend. I am a 70 year old, currently residing in an assisted living facility, and cannot walk due to arthritis in both knees and severe edema issues in my left leg from cancer surgery. I have been in therapy for months and have made improvements in standing but still cannot walk. Insurance issues (Medicare could use some improvement) have left me with only one therapy session per week so I had to find some exercise I could use on a daily basis to build strength and endurance. I showed an internet video of the Cubii to my therapist and he thought it would be helpful but had no patients currently using it so he had questions. I took a flyer, bought one, and it has been all the ads say and more. I'll list the benefits and concerns: BENEFITS: Very easy to set up (4 screws, that's it) Sturdy - I am a big guy and worried if it would be flimsy. Not at all - a real quality product Easy to use - I have size 13 shoe and my feet fit easily in the foot pads. Set the resistance level you want ( start with 0 ) and pedal Exercise Benefit - your knees move up and down as you pedal building strength in quads, glutes, and hamstrings along with working your cardio. This was the issue my therapist was most concerned about but he is very high on the Cubii and has recommended it to a few patients since I bought mine. CONCERNS: Cost - $249 may seem like a lot but you pay for quality - well worth it Mobility - there is a handle you can use to pick it, but it is 25 lbs so be aware if that is a problem for you Sliding - I use it on a hardwood floor and if I did not buy the pad as an accessory it would be a problem. With the pad, sliding is not an issue. If you don't have some kind of traction already I recommend buying the pad, but it is another $29. No idea how it would act on carpeting. Overall I am SOLD on the Cubii. When I started I was only able to do sets of 20-25 reps and within 2 weeks (after warming up) am now up to sets of 100-150 reps. No question my legs are stronger. Will It result in my being able to walk again? That remains to be seen, but if I do make it, the Cubii will be a big part of that success.

I absolutely love this thing. I got it for a couple of reasons. Like most of the freaking world, I am trying to lose some weight. I see all the things that say "just lift a bunch of weights and walk eleventy billion steps a day and boom! Weight gone!" Well, I don't have that kind of time and work at a desk so I was looking for something that would allow me to get some movement. I also get a little anxious from time to time, so having some place to put that energy is great. I put this baddie under my desk and it's been great. I am over 12,000 rotations a day without even thinking about it. It is quiet enough that no one hears it on my phone calls or zoom meetings. The achy feeling I get in my ankles and knees after sitting for a long time is gone but watch out because your legs are tired when you stand up! The elliptical stays put on my carpet, even without the little plastic holders that came with it to hold it in place. It has a wide variety of resistance options (from 1-8) and at a 3, I am pedaling right along. Seriously love this little thing to get some movement. I would much rather take a walk outside, but when I can't because I am working, this is great!

Great to use

When it arrived it was very easy to put together and came with its own screwdriver and little feet to put the wheels of your office chair on so you don’t move while you’re using it. Admittedly it is pretty heavy but that is a plus for me as it means the machine stays put while in use. The resistance levels are fine for me as I’m just using it casually while working from home to help manage my lymphoedema. It’s quiet enough that I can use it while I’m in meetings on the lower settings. Good price, does what is expected and feels solid/good quality. Wish I’d bought it ages ago!

Excellent pedalier onctueux a l'utilisation tres esthétique et pratique j'ai eu un petit problème avec le compteur on m'a envoyé un autre tres rapidement je ne peux que saluer le professionnalisme de ce fournisseur et le conseille fortement

I decided to return an Under Desk Bike Pedal Exerciser mainly because it was defective and went for this Cubii JR1. Maybe the experience seemed even better because of what I experienced with the previous bike. Anyway, everything was perfect, even the polystyrene protection. The screwdriver was by far the best I've ever seen as part of an assembly kit. The assembly took 5 minutes. The unit is heavy and stable enough so that there is no undesired movement while pedaling. I've been pedaling for one hour already while sitting at my desk. The only annoying thing is the Apple watch which doesn't detect my exercise and keeps asking me if I was done. Which leads me to my only regret: I should have bought the Bluetooth version to connect the unit to an app and sync exercise data with my phone and watch.

Fais le job. Modèle de base sans options fancy ( pas de connexion), mais solidement construit et fonctionnel ( marque américaine, plusieurs milliers des vendus). Si j'ai bien compris son successeur est légèrement plus compact et léger, mais ce medele en promo couté presque la moitié de l'autre et pour un usage occasionnel ça suffit largement. Petite critique, le maximum de difficulté qu'on peux régler reste léger.
