I recently bought a portable stepper for myself, and now my daughter wanted one too. After trying this model, I think I like this one better. This stepper is sleek and very compact which is great because my daughter lives in a small apartment. It arrived quickly and there is no assembly required. Just screw in the hydraulic rod on the front and attach the two resistance bands and it's ready to use. It's not heavy yet very sturdy and very quiet and says it supports up to 300 lbs. The pedals are large, wide, and have raised bumps that prevent slipping while keeping your feet comfortable. Between the pedals, there's a digital display that's easy to read and operate. It tracks your steps, calories burned, and workout time. An instruction manual is also included for reference. Overall, I'm happy with this purchase. It's a great price for the quality and it's the perfect compact workout option for small spaces.
