Product Reviews of Aerobic Pedal Exerciser - Use for Arms & Legs
Product Review: pleased with item
Summary: 4 Stars
just recieved mine thru this link. works fine and does what i expected. but the unit does get hot in just a few minutes if any tension or speed is used, so beware and don't pick it up by in the middle till it cools down. and while it's perfect for theraputic conditioning, it doesn't do much for aerobic.
for what it is, it's a great buy.
Product Review: recommended purchase by a VERY skeptical buyer
Summary: 5 Stars
this pedal exerciser works great and made of pretty good material. i am a VERY skeptical online buyer. the picture posted seemed as though product as very poorly built with flimsy material, but it was not. to be fair, i've purchased this and used for over a month before posting this review.
i purchased this for my 80yr old father who uses a walker to slowly walk around. he suffered a stroke 2yrs ago and had a quadriple bypass 4yrs ago which grafts were taken out of his legs. until recently, he was able to get his daily exercise from walking around the block accompanied by someone. due to the weather and of old age, he can only get around half the distance now. i wish i purchased this earlier to add into his daily routine.
i looked at other higher price models from Sharper Image to various sports stores, but they were overpriced with all sorts of un-needed functions, VERY heavy, and at the lowest setting too much resistance for my father's legs. i wanted to be able to physically test the product and be able to return it to a store if we didn't like it. after several failed visits to stores, i decided to take a risk and buy it online.
the picture posted looked flimsy but it is made of pretty good materials and good welds. it is not chrome/silver like the picture, but it's black,grey,& white like granite. it is lightweight and easy to move aside when not being used. yes, the rubber floor paddings did strongly stink of rubber. i removed them, washed with some hot water and dish soap to remove some of the smell. the rubber smell was gone about a week. after 3 weeks, it did squeek a little but nothing a little WD-40 oil couldn't fix. the rubber floor pads do keep it in place and were larger than i expected. even the feet pads were quite larger than expected compared to the pictures. they're plastic and not adjustable.
you do get what you pay for. it does not offer enough resistance for everyone, but it works great for my 80yr old dad's health and physique. well spent $23.99 +tax. i definitely recommend it to anyone with similar health conditions for rehab and daily exercise.
