Sunny Health & Fitness Sitting Under Desk Elliptical Exerciser, Portable Pedal Training Machine for Senior Exercise, Peddler for Home Workout, Optional Free SunnyFit App, Magnetic, Motorized & In Pink

I bought this elliptical to provide rehabilitation for my broken foot. It offers a dial to adjust the resistance level to make it harder which was perfect for me. I keep it in the family room to exercise while I watch TV after dinner. One night, I was in a hurry and I stubbed my toe on the metal stand and broke my toe. Well, the elliptical got more use again.It is quiet and I am able to pedal while we are watching TV. Initially, there would be a rubbing noise around 45 minutes, but fortunately, it has gone away. I use it on a hard wood floor, and the elliptical does slide forward, so you need to buy a mat or use something to keep it from moving. I used my hand weights to keep it from moving and just bought myself a non-skid mat for elliptical machines. I am looking forward to that, since I have to be careful not to trip over the hand weights I have piled along the front bar of the machine.If you are diabetic, pre-diabetic, realized you have insulin resistance like me, or want to lose a little weight, or tone your legs a bit, this elliptical is very helpful. I wear a Dexcom G7 continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and after dinner, I am am able to use the elliptical to bring down my glucose levels while we are watching TV. If you are eating any carbs especially rice, pasta, bread, tortillas, I highly recommend getting this to help you burn off the glucose before you have a problem.I do have the resistance level set to the highest level, but it still is pretty easy to pedal, so I can't say it is a hard work out, but it provides movement enough to decrease glucose levels. If you are older or less used to exercise or doing rehabilitation like me, the adjustable resistance level really is helpful.It is going on two years of use now pretty much every week and since October 2024, most every night.The only thing to keep in mind besides needing a mat or weights to keep it from moving (I use 25 lbs of weight to keep it from sliding) is the machine comes fully assembled which is absolutely great but it it is bit heavy to lift out to box and carry it to where you need it it be. We had thought about giving to my 82 year old mother-in-law but she would not be able to move it to and from in front of her easy chair on the carpet. I am using it every night, so I am glad I didn't give it away.This is a solid, well built, quiet elliptical, and it is very worth the investment.

Good peddle machine. Not necessarily easily portable due to it being very heavy. Looks a bit outdated as well and even with me getting a used one it was still pretty expensive.Overall, it has been a great exercise product for me post knee surgery where I have been 6 weeks non weight bearing and a delayed start in physical therapy. I was worried my knee would develop scar tissue if I didn’t start bending it but was having a hard time getting any movement on my own. So I bought this to help me get my legs moving and my knee bending more naturally at around 4 weeks post op meniscus repair and MCL surgery. It was painful at first and still is but overall I do think it offered so much benefit. More than anything it stretched my legs out which I desperately needed and I’ll be able to use it beyond my recovery to keep my legs moving while working remote.

Very heavy, slides a little on my carpet. Have to wear rubber sole shoes or your feet will slip on the pedals, but works well.

The media could not be loaded. Setting up the Sunny Health & Fitness unit:I am so THRILLED that I did not spend over $300 on the expensive more advertised version of this machine made by a different company. I'd have paid for their advertising and glossy box but would not have gotten the great product that I received today (at least it could not have been better). The large box was delivered in 2 days (thank you Amazon Prime) and there was NOTHING to put together! YES! All I did was get rid of the packaging and put it on a mat on the floor (I have tile floors and everything slips on them, so a kitchen rug under the exerciser worked). Note: there is a clear strip of plastic you need to pull out of the side of the digital meter to allow it to start working. That I didn't notice at first but that was the extent of setup. It was wonderful.Now about my experience in using it:I sat in my low comfy leather couch in front of my tv and put my feet into my new Sunny Health & Fitness unit. I didn't bother to adjust the dial/meter whatever it is, I just started peddling and off I went. It was a little harder than I wanted to peddle so I turned the resistance dial down and off I peddled again. It was great, I watched tv sat on my comfortable couch and exercised. No muss no fuss no problems at all.THE PROS:Price: $100 as opposed to $250 to $350. This unit is a real savings.Setup: There is nothing to set up but don't forget that little plastic strip.Quality: Right up there with the other more expensive products (I have had an opportunity to use my friends more expensive exercise machine and really not a bit better). It is also built very solidly, I'm very impressed. Do put a rug under it, any machine like this needs something to keep it from slipping (yoga mat, kitchen floor rug anything).Warranty: It comes with a company warranty of 1 year frame and 180 days (6 months) parts warranty. Other companies come with 1 year 90 day warranties or less. Of course you can buy an additional warranty if you feel the need for a few dollars when you check out but it's important to know that this company stands up for its product better than other companies.CONS:Uhm ..... none yet. I've only researched this for months and had it for a short while. I will have to return to this review in 3 and 6 months (May 2020, Aug 2020), to update this product review and let you know how this product does.IN SUM: This is an affordable 5 star product that I highly recommend to everyone!
