Sunny Health & Fitness Versa Stepper Step Machine w/Wide Non-Slip Pedals, Resistance Bands and LCD Monitor - SF-S0870

Well made, came assembled so very little to assemble out of box. Hydraulics are a little stiff and you must use your body to move them. There is no way to change any tension on the modle I got. The directions say to start at 5 min and work your way up to 15 minutes. But I couldn't get past 1 minute. Going to be a great after dinner routine to get my heart rate up.Read the directions!! You have to let it cool down after a certain amount of time.Light weight and easy to move around. Resistance bands are tight and worth it.Be warned if you have big feet. I wear a woman's size 11, and wear Hoka shoes due to foot issues. My shoes do not fit on the foot pedals easily. I end up jamming the soles into the foot peddles to use it since I can't do it barefoot.

ENOUGH RESISTANCE TO PROVIDE A GOOD WORKOUT ON DAYS THAT I DO NOT RUN. IT IS SOLIDLY MADE AND VERY STABLE. I AM A RUNNER AND MY MINIMUM RUN IS SEVEN MILES. I HAVE THE SUNNY TWIST STEPPER MODEL 045 AND I WAS NOT AS SATISFIED WITH IT. IT ALWAYS FELT LIKE SOMETHING WAS MISSING. THE MOTION ON THE TWIST STEPPER IS DIFFERENT AND THE RESISTANCE IS NOT AS STRONG AS THE VERSA STEPPER. ONE THING THAT I DID NOT LIKE ABOUT THE TWIST STEPPER IS THAT THE RESISTANCE GOT EASIER AS THE HYDROLIC CYLINDERS GOT WARMER. THE RESISTANCE ON THE VERSA STEPPER STAYS STRONG THROUGHOUT THE 20 MINUTES. OTHER STEPPERS THAT I TRIED IN THE PAST WERE TOO EASY. I DECIDED TO BUY THE SUNNY VERSA STEPPER AFTER READING THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS THAT THE RESISTANCE WAS TOO MUCH. I WAS RELUCTANT, BUT MADE THE PURCHASE ANYWAY. I ORDERED TWO BECAUSE THERE IS A LIMIT TO HOW LONG YOU CAN USE IT FOR BEFORE THE HYDROLIC CYLINDERS NEED A BREAK TO COOL OFF. I WORKOUT FOR 20 MINUTES AND THEN GET ON THE OTHER ONE . YOU WILL GET MAXIMUM LONGEVITY OUT OF THE STEPPER IF YOU DO NOT OVERHEAT THE CYLINDERS ROUTINELY. I AM VERY SATISFIED WITH THE VERSA STEPPER AND DO RECOMMEND IT. IF IT IS TOO DIFFICULT STICK WITH IT, IT WILL GET EASIER AS YOU GET MORE FIT.

Easy to use and can be easily moved to any room. Very sturdy!

I like that it is quiet so far & seems very sturdy. There is .no adjustment for the resistance & it is pretty difficult to budge the pedals. I had read that in other reviews, but in hind sight I'd get an adjustable one.

I have not had this long enough to talk about it's durability, but as long as you follow the directions, this thing is a heck of a work out. I made sure to follow the directions and put something underneath it and stick to the 20 minutes of usage at a time. It gets hot from the friction of using it and can hurt your floors if you don't put something under it. That being said, I am on the heavier side and it still gives a lot of resistance for the work out. The little tracker is handy, but kind of in a hard place to see. Also, since I am heavier, it can be kind of tough to balance on without any sort of handle bars. I just place it in front of my dresser and it isn't a problem. I wish I had gotten this sooner. It is a great work out from home without having to go out in the horrible heat.

I am disgusted. I looked a long time before I selected this machine. I don’t want the hassle of returning but I literally cannot move the steps on this thing. People should not have to buy supposedly brand new items and then have to call for troubleshooting just to use it. Don’t buy this unless you want a new headache,

Use it at my standing desk while working from home. I can really get a sweat on by doing this

I bought this machine last week and have found it great for simple step workouts. I don't use the tension bands, and don't feel comfortable or stable without something nearby to rest my hands on. So I place it in front of my stationary bike, and I can rest my hands on the bike handlebars. Also: I read a few comments about noise. I simply zip tied a short foam kneeler pad to the base. This makes the machine quieter and cushions the action a little bit as you reach the end of pedal travel.
