MERACH Under Desk Elliptical Machine for Home, Electric Elliptical Machine for Seniors with 12 Adjustable Speed, Quiet & Portable Seated Pedal Exerciser with Remote Control & Non-Slip Pad

Bought for my mother! She finds it easy to use and moves her legs for her allowing her to exercise her legs easily as her mobility is limited

I purchased a larger (and heavier!) model of this product but returned immediately – completely hassle-free – because, as one in the autumn of his years, I found it too cumbersome and difficult to manoeuvrer. A full refund was made directly. Because I was so impressed by the quality of workmanship of the first merchandise and its presentation, I decided to give the supplier another try and how thankful I am that I did! This version of the product is ideal for the seniors who may wish to use it in their lounge which is my location fitting perfectly under the coffee table! It is light and easily potable and is the perfect way to exercise those important muscles without undue exertion. One of the big ‘turn-offs’ attached to online shopping is the almost universal absence of after-sales service which is of significant concern to most shoppers. However, I am bound to say this has certainly not been the case with this suppler. It has been a shinning example of good old-fashioned service. A stellar performance all round.

Excellent build quality, rubber grips on peddles as opposed to plastic like some others, feels comfortable on bare feet, looks prime quality and more discreet than some others. Resistance bands great, can lean back and sit forward on different height seating, the remote works well and rotation is good. To rotate in manual mode press on remote, it will stop and pause to change over and start again, the function button only works in manual mode to view each reading of choice, it won’t work in automatic mode- but it lets you see each reading one by one automatically. The auto modes have a pattern of going slow to fast, forward and rotating backwards by itself. It is .Relaxing whilst watching tv, couldn’t use with others in office as it might annoy others but certainly ok to use whilst watching tv. I could see this being good for elderly to improve circulation, ankle and calf strength whilst also strengthening wrists , shoulders, arms and chest muscles with resistance bands. You may lose some calories too and build up strength slowly and gently. Looks better than any others I’ve seen on Amazon. Delivered with care and has a years warranty which you need to register for- details in manual. . Weight 7kg lighter than most and was easy to pick up with one hand but elderly may need two hands but reasonable weight to lift short distances. Mat is thin but may not be required afterall. Used on a carpet. Impressed with overall quality. Once you get used to where the readings are on screen you can see it light up as each reading is presented. Not read instructions yet so was pretty easy to get going. It has a safety cut off after 15mins so as not to over do it but it’s easily started again with the remote or by touching the screen button. Just arrived so will update if any issues.

I bought this as I have neuropathy.It’s a good device,but wish it had more settings to vary the use

Item itself does what it says on the tin. It’s pretty compact, fairly lightweight(although some seniors may not think so), yet stable on my carpeted floor, does not move around. Sturdily made. Looks like it will last, and quiet in operation. Downside: 2 stars knocked off due to late delivery by Royal Mail because package was sitting in their Midlands superhub for 2 days. It was meant to be next day delivery. Tracking wasn’t at all accurate and didn’t offer an accurate delivery date or time. Otherwise would be 5 stars. Bought for recovery after hip replacement, I find it’s good for ankle and knee mobilisation. UPDATE: the delay was in no way due to Merach. The fault has lain with Amazon’s use of an unreliable carrier. Merach customer service, 5-star. If you order, beware that Amazon may use a third party to deliver.

This is so easy to use ,comfortable and relaxing. I have noticed a difference in my walking already. Not relying on my walking stick as much. Very pleased with the Merach.

So far it’s working well. Very quiet in fact no noise from it at all which would be important if you were using it in an office environment. The programmes are rather short at 15 minutes, double this would be better for me but you can restart it if you want longer. It isn’t light weight so moving it around if you’re older like me is a bit of a challenge but not impossible. Very happy with it up to now.

Whow! First time with this and it is great. Has really helped my knees. Everyone is saying I am walking better and experiencing less pain. I use this once a day. Wish I knew about this sooner.

I looked at so many options before I ordered this Merach stepper elliptical machine and I'm thrilled with it! I wanted something basic yet effective, super quiet, easy to operate and lightweight. I got everything but the lightweight part, but thats subjective. For an old lady, this is not easy to lift and tote around, but it's possible (easier if you have sled dogs you can tie it to). I think I'll leave it where it landed cuz I use it there. The stepper has a remote control to run it but I've also discovered a certain channel put in my TV remote will turn the machine on too -- surprise!! That's kind of weird, especially because the machine remote has to be pointed directly at it to work. So the remote works fine and is easy to use or you can reach down and use the controls between your feet. There are different speeds and you can go forward and backward. The movement is smooth and very quiet, which are both important to me. Two other things I like about this: it doesn't have to be electrically powered to move but also works on human effort (and it requires real effort either forward or backward), and it has resistance handpulls that can be attached to both sides to work your arms too. This part is only through human efforts, so put your back into it and get a more thorough workout. This is a great product except for two things I don't like but never considered before buying. One is the darn plug cord is way too short!!! Like my new coffee maker, you're required to plug it into the most inconvenient spot available and that is super annoying! So mine is on an extension cord, but I don't appreciate the company being too cheap and lazy to make the plug humanely. The other thing is not just for this stepper elliptical but probably all of them. Never was height or angle talked about. You need to position this properly but you also have to be positioned properly. If you're vertically-challenged (uh, short) like many of us are, this is not as easy as it seems. The height is not adjustable, nor is mine, so I have to find the right chair and position and distance the machine according to my needs. Turns out that's a lot of work and effort so I was able to put off my workout that day. But make sure you consider ahead of purchase where the tiny plug can go and how you can reach it comfortably. The machine does come with a piece of nonslip stuff that's often used as shelf liner to keep your dishes from sliding. I haven’t used it because I put the machine on carpet and it sticks like glue. I can't even push it much so it's very stable here. I can't say about that small square of rubber shelf liner stuff. This review is honest based on my use, perceptions and flights of fancy, and I hope it helped you decide whatever or at least gave you more questions to help you make your excellent choice. Just because I'm happy with this purchase doesn't mean it's right for you -- do your due diligence and then buy it, lol!! Get moving and you might feel better! BTW, if your knees are iffy, start slow for just a minute or two several times a day and you can build up to more without causing pain. That worked for me!

It's a great product for when you're at your desk for long hours like me. It definitely isn't a replacement for regular working out but does keep your feet moving and you can feel it work your upper leg muscles. The remote was such a benefit so I didn't have to bend over, or crouch on the ground, to select the settings, and it comes with a convenient pocket to both put the remote in and use as a handle to move it. It's a bit too big to keep under my desk all the time but might work for yours. I ended up giving it to my father who has mobility issues and could use the help to circulate the blood in his legs.

Great machine, use several times a day, I have peripheral artery disease and my legs always hurt, using this keeps my blood flowing and helps with the pain, this one is not as expensive as some of the others but does the same thing as they do. No noise at all, surprised me how quiet it is, great having a remote, definitely a value for the money!!

I bought 2 - one from here one from another online marketplace so me and my husband could both have our own. This one had something wrong with it. Base weird jerky moves from the pedals. The other was fine - works great. So I returned this one. So I would say - if it works - it’s great - but the one I got was defective. I gave 4 stars based on the other one’s performance

Nothing difficult to set up nor operate. Once you set equipment to your specific level/pace, Sit and pedal manually or automatic on varying levels. Have a newspaper, iPhone, tablet, tv, music handy and before you know it time has elapsed;-). Have Used it daily. Legs knees feel great with no issues using this. Not difficult to operate with minimal noise level. Hardy and sturdy. Equipment is a tad heavy to lift but overall Good value. Remote is handy. Two drawbacks:: 1) feet will slip off pedals if pedaling too fast so straps come in handy 2)electrical cord could be a bit longer NOTE:: Abt feet sliding off pedals issue, if you go shoeless wearing only socks, NO problem with slippage encountered. ;-). Also can use with bare feet to really feel the nodes on pedals. Still using daily. Started level 12 in June twice a day. Hubby has been using since June daily as well. Amazing
