Niceday Under Desk Elliptical, Manual Quiet Elliptical, Foot Pedal Exerciser, Mini Elliptical Machines for Home Use, Portable Foot &Leg Pedal Exerciser, Exerciser for Seniors, Max Load 300LBS

I really like this seated elliptical. It arrived in pieces to assemble, but the instructions are not great to assemble it. It took about 30mins to assemble. However, once it was all together, it’s a well built piece of equipment. it works well. It is really smooth when you pedal. You glide (very smooth) and it is very quiet. It’s manual and you adjust the tension manually too. It is heavy though too, and might be a little larger than other seated under the desk ellipticals, but the sturdiness of this piece is great. I love the resistance bands on this too for your upper body. I highly recommend this elliptical to use in your work and/or home office!

This was a item I compared to numerous other brands and had cancelled 4 other orders before I came across this unit. I wanted something very durable and smooth in operation that would hold up to daily use in the Winter months. I also wanted a personal elliptical that had a resonable stroke distance since I did not want to feel as if I was just exercising my ankles. I almost ordered their 2nd best unit but I decided on their pro model. I am so glad I ordered this one since it is everything I wanted from such a device with smooth movement to a decent 12" stoke distance. I also can already feel the benefits of this machine after only a week of use and the elastic resistance bands are actually building up my bicep strength as I use it to do curls and various other arm movements while I am stepping. I am an avid cyclist so this helps me with the upper body resistance work as well. This unit also has the added benefit of positioning the resistance bands on the front or on the rear since it is shod with attachment points on both ends. The other brand I seriously considered was the unit from SunnyDay but I could see that it used a roller on one end of the pedal and the stroke did not appear to be very long (7"?). I read reviews about noise and that is one thing I am sensitive to so I did not want to risk getting something that would start making a noise after a short period of use. The NiceDay unit is defintely quiet and the weight is not difficult to manage if I want to move it. It is relatively compact so it sits in my living room so I can use it while watching the news or streaming a movie. Great way to get in the reps which makes for the time to fly by.Regarding support, they are wonderful and responsive and they assisted me immdiately when asking about some options for the resistance bands. I was really impressed and also they note that support is very important to them and the warranty on this unit is a lifetime. That is YTBD, but I wont question that at this timeI can only say that this is one of the best exercise machine purchases I have made and hope to use it for many years. I think it is the best unit available in the price point and I know that is a pretty bold statement but maybe someone will show me something better in time. I give this product a "A" rating and the same for their support. I highly recommend this unit for someone who wants to get a decent supplimental workout whether it is used in standing or sitting operation.

So, the machine arrived today. I was very excited to get it. (Happy Birthday to me!) It was packed very well, heavier than expected, doesn't slide on the carpet, quiet, no electric needed, works great, and all good so far. (4 stars, with one star reserved to see if it is durable)Except... It has Bluetooth to connect to my phone. I thought I could keep track of my progress by connecting to an app I already have (Fitbit, Strava, Runkeeper, etc.) but NO. It only connects to Zwift and Kinomap, both of which want money for a subscription after 14 days. Bluetooth won't even pair unless one of those apps is running so I can't save the workout data to any other app. I REFUSE to buy another subscription for a single piece of equipment. (down to 3 stars)Now I don't know if I even want to keep it the little machine. I just pushed it aside while I weigh out my options. It is such a shame because initially I really liked it, and didn't even give the Bluetooth connectivity a thought. I just feel cheated that connectivity is being held hostage. I mean, I can manually enter what I did in another app but why should I have to when the technology is right there being held for ransom? (down to 2 stars)The Bluetooth thing really should have been mentioned in the description. I feel as though standard connectivity was implied. I'm just angry the more I think about it. A free option should have been offered though some other service. I don't need training advice as I am not planning to run a marathon or take a century ride. I'm just trying to burn some extra calories while I work at my desk at home and I'd like to see my activity trend. (1 star!)Update: I have been using the machine under my desk while I work at home for about a month now. While I don't work up a sweat using it (I have it on very low resistance), it helps keep me focused during meetings and am easily logging miles without thinking about it. I started a spreadsheet to keep track of my activity since it doesn't connect to an app I use. I just log my time, miles, and calories before I reset the counter each morning. While not ideal, I am no longer as upset as I was and I must say that I do love the little thing. It is quiet and nobody hears me pedaling during calls. I raise my chair and adjustable height desk up a little higher, sit on the edge of my chair and I can work for hours without a break and I don't have that same "chained to my desk" feeling that I used to have. The company responded to my initial review and apologized for the connectivity issue. They said they would share my suggestions with the factory. While that doesn't connect my machine any better, I really like the fact that they responded and seem to take my review seriously. Having said all that, I am keeping it because I love it (and adding some stars back). It seems to be a very solid, quiet machine and is heavy enough to stay in place on my carpet floor.10/03/23 Product is good. I use it everyday while i work at my desk and log of my time, distance, and calories from the previous day on a spreadsheet each morning. Its a great little machine even if i don't connect it to an online service.

I'am writing this review after owning this niceday under desk elliptical for around a month.it runs smooth and super quite, with a tv on you cant even tell it there. the build seems sturdy and the wheels it has allows moving it about much easier especially if you have mobility or pain issues.after using it for as long as I have I can say it does improve mobility and strength, I have a weak ankle from a severe sprain and after using this I notice a big difference in how it moves and fatigues much less now. I have noticed more muscle tone around my knees, thighs and lower buttocks.its easy to use and half the time if you're on your phone or watching tv you'll forget your even doing it. after using this along with a better diet and not eating after 11 pm I have lost 20+ pounds so it does help with that.also my mom has sciatica and she is able to use this with much less pain than other kinds of machines, she does get a little sore the day after but she usually uses it one day and rest the next and this allows her to get excercise she otherwise could not.
