Exercise both your lower and upper body in one fluid routine with the dual-action Mini Stepper. The Mini Stepper is easy to use, with a pair of dual-action arms along the top that provide upper body resistance and a pair of steps to work the lower body. Once on board, you can enjoy a vigorous full-body cardiovascular workout without neglecting your all-important arm, chest, and shoulder muscles. The Mini Stepper relies on dual hydraulic cylinders and a dial adjustment system to provide the resistance, along with an electronic monitor (includes two AA batteries) to track such details as the workout time, distance, step count, total number of steps, and calories burned. Other features include a heavy-duty steel frame that holds up to years of use, a smooth pulley system for quiet operation, and a maximum weight limit of 250 pounds. The Mini Stepper--measures 19 by 50 by 18.5 inches (W x H x D) and carries a 90-day warranty on parts and a one-year warranty on the frame.

I bought this stepper 3 months ago, and it's already broken! Yeah, it gives you a good sweat, but the thing is a piece of cheap junk. The pulley is made out of cheap plastic which can break easily! Now I have to wait 180 days for a new pulley, which I bet will break again! I wish I'd never brought this product! When I bought it, it was $82. It makes me cry to think I wasted $82 on this junk when I could have bought a more trustworthy stepper, even though it would have costed me a little bit more money! Trust me, STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT!!!!!!

I bought this in April and it broke in October. Not worth what I paid for it. The pulley is broken.

I have enjoyed the product. It was easy to put together and easy to use. It doesn't take up much space so I can leave it out and use it when I have time. If I had to pull it out, I may not use it as often. Very satisfied with the product.
