I went from floor nursing, walking miles a day, to a telephonic phone nursing position where I’m sitting in a chair for essentially 8 hours a day. My legs would hurt from dangling all day in the chair. I needed something to help keep me moving, since I’m so used to waking. This was definitely my answer!I was a little hesitant at first based on the reviews about the pedals stripping and essentially becoming useless after a couple months of use. And I’ve only had this for 5 days so far. So I’m hopeful that the pedals hold up. If not, I’ll change my review.The display starts up when you start pedaling and shuts off after 4-5 minutes of no activity. No need to take the battery out. The pics above show what I did on my first day using it sporadically over 8 hours. It has a distance counter which is nice. The calorie counter seems to count a little less than my Apple Watch, but it is still a great counter for those that don’t have a smart watch. It said I burned 688 calories, while my watch said 753. The counter seems to be based on average, while my watch uses my heart rate. Yesterday I did 32 miles and burned over 800 cals.I do wish that this had a higher tension setting. I would say I’m in good shape, and I’m on the highest tension of 8. But I also know that this isn’t meant to replace a strenuous cardio workout. My heart rate ranges from 100-110’s but if I’m consistently pedaling for 30 mins or more, it will get up to 130’s and you can feel the sweat. Also, I can definitely feel the inner thigh burn.Setup was fairly easy. 10-15 mins max. You really only have to assemble the end plate, front stabilizer, and pedals. I do think the pedals were the hardest part. You screw them in, which was easy enough. But putting the bolts on the back was challenging. Sounds easy until you go to do it. They give you very detailed instructions and even warn that if you don’t put the pedals on correctly, it can harm the product. It seems I put them on right, so I hope it holds up with how much I use it.It does have a carrying handle and would be easy to move around the house. If you are thinking about lugging this back and forth to work, I would probably just get one for each location.It does create a little bit of sound, but mostly a hum. I use mine in between patient calls so I can’t tell you for sure if this hum would be audible on a phone call. I work from home, but I do think it’s quiet enough to not disrupt your office mates.I heard a click today and was worried it was the product but nope! It was my knee. So I’m taking a break. It is addicting and I can see how easy it would be to overwork yourself on this. You can apparently use for your arms, but I haven’t done that just yet.I was considering the deskcycle, but wasn’t sure how committed I would be to using a pedaler so I went with this option since it’s cheaper at $120 vs $190. So far I’m very happy with this option.As I said, I’ve only had 5 days so I will update if it starts making noise, pedals start stripping, or what have you. This product seems to be used a lot by the elderly or people who have had joint replacements and I can see it being great for that use as well. Very multifunctional for people of all different activity levels.

LOVE this thing. Better than I was expecting, in that it's nearly silent. It's not suitable for major workouts but awesome to get bursts of movement through your day -- gets the heartrate up for we relatively sedentary people. It removes all the barriers of making it to the gym when you're tired. Y'know how we're suppose to take a walk after each meal? This checks that exercise box well enough. Easy to put together. I just wish the packaging was cardboard instead of toxic foam (gross).

So the good news is that this is a heavy duty piece of equipment. The bad news is that if you're over 40, and in need of some physical therapy, It's heavy, awkward and requires pro tools to assemble. It helps if you have a sturdy workbench or table with several blocks, rolled towels, etc to prop it in place while you work on it. The front and rear stabilizers go on more easily if you flip it on its back and prop it vertically. Don't bother with the tools included, they are worthless. Get a top notch screwdriver and your wrench set.It took me a little over an hour, Including two painful trips to the tool shed for my pro tools and reversing the front stabilizer because I put it in upside down.At least one of the bolts for attaching the rear bottom plate were so hard to insert, I was afraid I'd strip the head before I got it screwed in. Pro Phillips screw driver to the rescue, one quarter turn at a time. Now I need PT on my wrist and elbow. In addition to my hip!The very carefully labeled left and right pedals, with tags stating the left nut is blue on the inside and the right nut is red, was confusion taken to a fine art. First, there was no discernible color inside either nut.. second,, the screw directions appear to be reversed,, counter clockwise to tighten.. i managed to figure it out and get them on.. After all, I did get a degree in engineering some decades ago.The pedal straps are bizarre, catty corner across the pedals, both angled in the same direction. Not straight, as shown in all the drawings.I am pleased with the smooth motion, adjustable resistance from easy peasy to moderate, and once I got the front stabilizer bar on right side up, not much scooting around.It works best if you push it almost under your chair, so your legs are at right angles at the knees.Not bad for the price.

You ride all over the place, the Bronx, New Jersey Brooklyn, and he’s sitting in his apartment. He love his little machine.Portable:In any roomFunctionality:Keep my circulation movingSlip resistance:It stays in place

This is a nice smooth unit that works well to give the legs some exercise from a seated position. It is a little awkward to assemble strictly due to it being narrow and dense but not too bad. I do recommend using real tools and not the ones included but that is the same advice I give for everything that comes with a cheap tool kit.The pedals are meant to be used with either your hands or feet but if you are primarily using your feet do yourself a favor and pick up some regular bike pedals. It takes a standard 1/2" thread pedal and I got some kid's bike ones that are small and pretty smooth so I can use it comfortably bare footed.https://a.co/d/6agcrydTo make them even more comfortable I clipped off the nubs which are just plastic.My unit was used but looked like it was never opened so a good deal in my opinion.
