I've had this stepper for nearly 4 months now, and I love it. I have had no problems with malfunctions, aside from some squeaking that WD-40 fixes right up. It's easy to use, and easy to store away when not in use. I'm in the process of losing 100+ lbs, I'm down 80 so far. When I first got the stepper, I was only able to use it for 10 minutes before I felt like I was going to die. In a good way. I worked my way up to an hour and a half, and it's a great way to burn calories and get a sweat on. I now use it just about every day as a warm up before the rest of my workout. I was worried about it eventually not being an adequate work out as I became more fit, but I don't see that happening any time soon. I expect to use this stepper until the day it dies, and I'll probably buy a new one when it does. I already feel I got my money's worth from it. I recommended it to a friend who wants to lose weight, and she loves it, too. Update 4/27/2018: I've lost my hundred pounds, and I still love this stepper.

Impossibile caricare il contenuto multimediale. I was nervous about this machine. I wasn’t sure if it was going to give me a workout for real, but lisssten...this stepper is amazing. Cost efficient and does what you need it to do. I’ve had it for about 2 weeks now and I’m very pleased. It came pretty much assembled already. I just adjusted the step and added the bands. I love it and highly recommended it.

Great thing, I love it. A word of caution: the instructions say to oil the thing if it squeaks, else it will break. So the people saying "it squeaked and then broke" did not read the manual and did not take care of their machine.
