Sunny Health & Fitness Extended Stride Climbing Stair Stepper w/Handlebar | Folding Climbing Stepper, Adjustable Step Height, SunnyFit App, Hydraulic Resistance, Pulse Sensors, Device Holder

I use this while working from home - I take breaks throughout the day and use this for a few minutes or so. It was easy to set up, super light and works well for what I bought it for - a bit of movement throughout the day without having to go outside for a walk (I live in FL and it's too hot out there most of the time!). I like that it has wheels on one end of the bottom, so it can be moved around super easy. Also, I saw some steppers without the handles that are a little cheaper but I like that it has the handles to keep my balance better. But you don't have to hold them if you don't want to and it still works the same. I'm glad I purchased it and the price wasn't too bad either.

I like it. I first purchased the cheaper Doufit ST-01 and liked it. I liked this type of exercise motion so much I wanted to move to the top of the line, and this is it. The Sunny with handlebars is heavier, sturdier, and much quieter. Even after lubing the Doufit as suggested, it squeaked loudly. The Doufit also had a shorter step height range and much less resistance. The Sunny resistance and range are more challenging. You can set it at the maximum stroke range and just take small steps if you wish. No need to shorten the step range mechanically. Taking small steps is not hard, and you can interspearce full range steps for a more challenging workout. I like to lean against the handlebars and perform a quad stretch on the leg at the bottom of the step range. Great little machine to get on when watching TV - as it makes no noise.

At 82, I needed to find an easy to use stepper that was not too expensive and that I could use daily even if for a few minutes at time to help build more muscle strength and maintain my mobility. The Sunny Health stepper really works well but have to admit I tire out pretty fast due to the amount of energy it takes for me to use it. I like that I can easily roll it against the wall and out of the way.

Kinda pricy for what it is but man! I certainly feel a burn after 3 min. Get a good workout. It’s sturdy and come with app and plans to workout. I like the portability.

I wanted to take my cardio equipment up a notch, and i used to love(hate) running stairs when i was at my peak cardio performance. obviously an expensive stair climber would be what i want, but price and space dont allow a purchase like that currently so i rolled the dice on this.Assembly was pretty simple, it did not take me long to put together and all pieces were included first time.It works, my cardio has been lacking a lot the last couple years as has my leg routine due to various circumstances, 5-10 minutes on a fairly low setting gets my quads feeling good and my heart rate up into a good burn zone. i am a person who struggles to do things at a lower intensity, so i think i average around 50 steps a minute or so just for example of intensity.the foot rests are good, the handles are good, it honestly looks kind of flimsy but is pretty solid. i have bought some workout equipment from amazon that looks good in their pictures, then you get it and its itty bitty and honestly kind of flimsy( i personally try to stay away from products with what appear to be "gibberish" names, that seems to be a cheap drop shipping giveaway).My one gripe, and why this item is not getting 5 stars is this: after around a week of use, only 10 minutes a sessions or so, i heard a weird clicking when my right foot would be going down. after investigating i found that at the base (see picture) where a long bolt slides through the length of the base, threading into one side, was backing out on the right side. i took my allens and tightened it down after completing the workout and came back the next day. i heard the noise again, but i was close to being done so i decided to not pause and tighten it after the workout. what i noticed was, the "computer" or monitor stopped counting steps, and was not incrementing time. i am assuming this is where the magentic stuff is that counts work being done, so it just doesn't run continously. ive tightened this down multiple times and it keeps happening. with items like this, hardware usually isnt the best quality so i am worried about rounding the head off of the bolt and honestly i shouldn't have to re-tighten pieces every 10-15 minutes. my next step is to put some loctite on the threads after backing the bolt all the way out to make sure it stays put. if that works i will bump it up to a 4, and hope if i ever get rid of it i won't be the one responsible for taking it apart.Update 5/6/25 :It took me longer than expected to remember to get the loctite, but when i did my fear was found to be true. the bolt head was rounded so the allen wrench could not get a bite on the bolt.Im giving this an updated rating of 1/5. Ive seen couple other reviews with this issue, and now im out 200 bucks because of it. i cannot recommend a piece of equipment that forces you to re-tighten pieces 3-4 times in under 10 uses. i cannot recommend a piece of equipment that uses cheap hardware that loses its integrity after being hand tightened 3-4 times.

I bought the stepper climber exercise machine (stepper style) and it came very quickly. I assembled it myself, but I used an electric drill with a hex key bit instead of the supplied hex key. It would be very hard to assemble alone without an electric drill. It also helped to tape the bolts in place on the rear stabilizer bar while placing the whole big frame onto it. The instructions are clear enough although it's weird they refer to the entire main frame as the "rear support tube." As another review stated, the pulse measurement is entirely inaccurate. Also, with every step I take, when the pedal gets all the way down, it clonks loudly on the rear stabilizer bar. It does have little black rubber feet on the bottom but the rubber is hard and doesn't prevent clonking. So as shown in the photos, I added self-adhesive felt furniture pads to the bottom of those rubber feet, and I also added much softer self-adhesive rubber pads to the top on the rear stabilizer bar, so the felt pads meet my soft rubber pads with every step. It feels like it only slightly decreases the impact, but at least it's quiet this way.It has a lot of tension. It's hard for me to push the pedals down with my feet. So I'm going to be getting a good deal of exercise with this.

Easy to put together. It’s plain and simple but it works, especially for seniors.

If Made in Chinaeans delays in parts procurement, they they need to come up with better customer service. I got this stair stepper on 10/10/24. I generally like it, it folds for storage, is well built and works as advertised. If you're someone who intends long workouts on it I recommend you to buy something bigger and better, or you'll break it.My problem is a bolt and washer were missing when I got it, so it couldn't be properly put together for use. The California office for Sunny said 3-6 business days to get the part. Email says it's supposed to arrive on 10/21/24. So, I buy a brand new machine intending that I can begin using it the same day it arrives, but I can't because the missing part doesn't get here for 11 days or more. All parts should be in the kit when it arrives and if they aren't, then a stock of parts should be kept stateside to quickly complete assembly of unit. And since the manufacturer erred in not properly confirming all parts were in the box prior to shipment they should overnight missing parts to properly satisfy their new customer. This highlights a major problem for Chinese made products and Amazon for not having manufacturers better insure new products are rigorously inspected prior to shipping so that customers have a complete unit when they unbox it.

Good quality

I don't usually give five stars for many things but this product I did. it works very well and the price is very affordable. So on that basis value for money it really deserves five stars.10 minutes on this machine and you get a very good glute thigh lower back and calf workout. I don't use it for cardio I just go at a steady Pace to keep muscle tone happening.Product was easy to assemble, it's steadily built. I lubricated all the moving pivot points with lithium grease sprayed in.In the world of steppers there's probably not many better than this one

Resistance is too strong on the lowest setting, I bought this because it has adjustable resistance and thought the lowest setting would be suitable for someone fairly out of condition.It’s not, it’s hard work and I’ve wasted my money.Unless you have good knees and stamina this isn’t for you at all.It’s quiet in use, even more quiet in my house as I can’t use it for more than 20 seconds.Easy to assemble so a couple of stars for that and the fact that it feels decent quality.An expensive clothes horse though, please make it more clear that the lowest resistance still has a heck of a lot of resistance.I can only assume that on higher settings it’s aimed at athletes, the kind of people who don’t spend so little on equipment.Not great for the average home user.

I love this climber! It gives a decent workout and isnt too big in my living room. My favorite part is the app it comes with - its free to use and tracks my progress. Its got tons of videos to keep me motivated.Its a really affordable option. It isnt too fancy - you cant adjust the settings too much but i dont think it needs to be very adjustable to give a good workout. I recommend it.

Very good stepper for the price. A little stiff to start but after a few steps works very smooth. A little wobbly if not on a very level surface (hard floor). Decent basic operating dashboard with clip to hold a phone, but nothing bigger.
