Comments about Stamina Stamina SpaceMate Folding Stepper - with Fitness Monitor:

I am extremely happy about the quality of this product! It's very sturdy, quiet, and easy to operate. And, I get a great workout - even better than the workout I get on the steppers at the gym. Also, I really like that the timer starts as soon as you start stepping - counts the steps as well. Great product, at an incredible price. Highly recommended.

The width of the base is too short and it tends to wobble a bit while exercising. The hand rails are too short...if you're over 5'10". I received the stepper in less than perfect condition. The base was very scratched and marred, but that was in no-way the fault of Mercantila. It assembles in less than 5 minutes. If one is on a tight budget, then this unit works fine...if one has a few extra dollars to spend...then buy a better stepper.

Comments about Stamina Stamina SpaceMate Folding Stepper - with Fitness Monitor:

The unit itself is quite sturdy and for the price I paid I believe it was well worth the money as there are a fair amount of adjustments that can be made so my workout can be advanced as I see fit. I am not too impressed with the readout that came with it, but it is adequate. Would have liked for the hand grips to move so that I had access to an upper body workout, but the price was reasonable and it gives a good lower body workout and can fold up and be put away which is a nice feature.[...] When it arrived, however, the box was coming apart as the plastic strips holding it together were loose. Luckily all the pieces were there when we put it together and the unit went together fairly easily. It is a good, sturdy unit that was featured at a fair price and is well worth investing in.

I wanted a cheap stepper that would work my legs and heart for climbing hills out West. I live in flat country. This is exactly what I was looking for and it works great

I have had this product for two weeks and so far I love it! I love that it's easily folded, and can be stored behind a door, without it taking much space. I have set it up in the living room, and can easily carry it to the bedroom. The only bad thing is my husband can't use it, since he's over the weight limit...But that could be a good thing too? Just Mine!

Pistons get too hot after 15 minutes.

Great for a small house; sturdy for the price; my very athletic husband and moderately active daughter can also work up a good sweat. I am quite out of shape but have improved endurance already in 3 weeks.

Easy setup, quiet operation, easy storage.

Comments about Stamina Stamina SpaceMate Folding Stepper - with Fitness Monitor:

My old stepper used a pulley system along with shocks, so when the right foot stepped down the left foot automatically came up. It was a great workout, but it broke. To use this stepper you need to lift your foot off the step so it comes back up to step down again. It takes alittle getting used to. I love that it is so quiet. My old one was extremely LOUD!

I am happy with my stepper. It doesn't take up a lot of room.

Comments about Stamina Stamina SpaceMate Folding Stepper - with Fitness Monitor:

This stepper was simple to put together and very easy to use. It's lightweight but sturdy. It folds up and stores in small spaces, it's very quiet to operate, and not at all complicated to use. I've only been using it about 2 weeks and I can already feel muscles tightening in the backs of my thighs and rear - very encouraging! Normally I hate excercise but this is easy and I'm likely to stick with it. I highly recommend this product - especially to those who want to firm up those problem areas without a lot of strenuous exercise!

Comments about Stamina Stamina SpaceMate Folding Stepper - with Fitness Monitor:

I've been completely satisified with this product. It provides a great workout in a small space.

Comments about Stamina Stamina SpaceMate Folding Stepper - with Fitness Monitor:

We have a family gym membership, but I don't like going to a smelly, hot, noisy place and having to wait to use the machines.
That is why I am an 'occasional exerciser'. Now I can use the stepper every morning just as I get out of bed to begin my day. I am quickly becoming a 'frequent exerciser' The Spacemate is a great product for the price.

Comments about Stamina Stamina SpaceMate Folding Stepper - with Fitness Monitor:

overall good for the price. The one I recieved doesn't sit flat on the floor. I have to put a block under one corner which is annoying but not worth sending back. A good workout for the price.

Comments about Stamina Stamina SpaceMate Folding Stepper - with Fitness Monitor:

Comments about Stamina Stamina SpaceMate Folding Stepper - with Fitness Monitor:

At the beginning of my first workout with this equipment, I felt it was too easy and that I would not get a good enough workout out of it. That quickly changed. I set it on an easier setting and picked up the pace and had a great cardio workout.

Comments about Stamina Stamina SpaceMate Folding Stepper - with Fitness Monitor:

I use this on the days I cannot get to the gym. It has a tension adjustment which is great and is very sturdy but I am 118 lbs. Only problem I encounter is that if I don't take full steps the counter resets back to 0 which is a pain.

I love it!

Comments about Stamina Stamina SpaceMate Folding Stepper - with Fitness Monitor:

I use the product 4-5 times a week for 40-60 minutes. The shock went out just 30 days after buying it. Now I can only exercise for 30 minutes before it gives out. Wanted it fixed, but would have had to pay to ship the stepper myself. Will buy something else next time. Would not recommend this product to anyone.

Comments about Stamina Stamina SpaceMate Folding Stepper - with Fitness Monitor:

I originally bought this same stepper from [...] in 2001 and used it every day for 30-60 minutes a day, every day. I never had any problems with it, except for replacing one of the pistons around 2003. I decided to buy a new one, assuming the original one was wearing out due to age and usage. So, last year I bought the new one from you and was very happy with it for about a month, until one of the pistons started failing. I contacted you and you promptly sent me a replacement. A few days later, the other piston failed. Again, I contacted you and you and had another replacement sent. Within a week's time after that, the timer malfunctioned! I was so frustrated that I put it away and went back to using my original equipment from[...]I am very disappointed with the new model.

Good cardiovascular. Helps hip discomfort.

Comments about Stamina Stamina SpaceMate Folding Stepper - with Fitness Monitor:

This stepper is great when you are watching something and need to kill time. You can be entertained and still workout. Best of it, its not a space eater.

Comments about Stamina Stamina SpaceMate Folding Stepper - with Fitness Monitor:

Very comfortable to use, easy on the knees and joints, very quiet and smooth operation, in two weeks use I have reestablished leg and thigh muscle considerably.

I weight 240 pounds not a small guy, the machine is rated for 250 pounds, I see movement at the lower hing that concerns me, looks like a place that could eventually break?

Comments about Stamina Stamina SpaceMate Folding Stepper - with Fitness Monitor:

I bought this stepper as a gift for my husband as he has been wanting a stepper. He thinks it is great for the price and gives you a good work out. He said it does make you sweat and he feels like he got a work out. I would recommend this stepper if you are looking for a good product and a reasonable price.

Comments about Stamina Stamina SpaceMate Folding Stepper - with Fitness Monitor:

It is good due to the folding and storage feature, also easy to set up

I take it with me traveling about the country.

Comments about Stamina Stamina SpaceMate Folding Stepper - with Fitness Monitor:

I've had this stepper for about 3 months now and I couldn't be more pleased. It's compact, sturdy, and gives a workout equal to the bulkier and much more expensive steppers found in athletic clubs. The difficulty of your workout is totally up to you. You can set it for a light routine or for a sweat-inducing, pound-shedding, mountain climb. But the real beauty of this stepper is that it is sturdy as a rock, yet surprisingly light and easy to move for storage when not in use. My only complaint is that my machine has developed a bit of a squeeking noise that doesn't go away, even after spraying it with silicone. But this is a very minor complaint, and wouldn't deter me from highly recommending this to anyone looking for a sturdy, portable, stepper at a bargain price.

I am trying to strengthen through an ms illness. Sometimes it is hard for me to balance on the stepper- I think it is the illness, not the stepper... good for light workout.

Comments about Stamina Stamina SpaceMate Folding Stepper - with Fitness Monitor:

Great little machine for the price. It's compact enough for a small corner in my apt. (I don't fold it up) and it gives me a great workout.

Comments about Stamina Stamina SpaceMate Folding Stepper - with Fitness Monitor:

I was looking for something to supplement my workout routine on days that I work and cannot get to the Gym. This piece of equipment does the trick. It doesn't take up much room and works well for the low price.

Comments about Stamina Stamina SpaceMate Folding Stepper - with Fitness Monitor:

We love this stepper. It's a great deal for the money. We have yet to fold it up to store it, so I can't comment on that feature. It's quiet to us. I have no frame of reference to compare it to other steppers, but we keep ours in the living room and it doesn't disturb others when one of us is using it. The stepping is smooth, and you can adjust the resistance to make your workout as difficult or easy as you like. It doesn't take up much space. Overall we can't complain. Glad we purchased it.

Comments about Stamina Stamina SpaceMate Folding Stepper - with Fitness Monitor:

Use the stepper 4 to 6 times a week. Good design and sturdy, except for the gas cylinders which are cheap and have worn out frequently.

Comments about Stamina Stamina SpaceMate Folding Stepper - with Fitness Monitor:

Since its set up, I have not even used this machine.It's also very difficult to fold so it has been taking up space in my apt.

Comments about Stamina Stamina SpaceMate Folding Stepper - with Fitness Monitor:

i've had a lifestyler folding stepper since 2003. after a rough divorce i gained 100 lbs., i started eating right and using the stepper again in 2005. in december of 2006 i noticed i had lost 4" off my waist and over 50 lbs.! i ordered another stepper online which at first worked wonderfully. then in the first couple of weeks the pistons and timer broke[...] it never worked well again! so i put it away and kept using my old one. today i am down to 176 lbs. (from 276!) and am still using the origional stepper for weight maintenance. the new design of this stepper does not hold up to constant use and is cheaply fabricated. i would recommend the old style but the new one is garbage!

Comments about Stamina Stamina SpaceMate Folding Stepper - with Fitness Monitor:

After several initial problems, the stepper works great. The weld on the upper shock support broke on the original unit. I received a new part and one end had no threads to receive the bolt. Once I fixed that, the unit works well. [...]
