Putnen Under Desk Elliptical Machine, Electric Ellipse Leg Exerciser as Seen on Tv for Seniors with 12 Adjustable, Portable Quiet Elliptical Machine, Seated Pedal Exerciser with Remote Control

I bought this for my 88 year old father who has a hard time walking because of balance issues. He is able to easily lift and move the machine and loves how it helps his legs and knees stay moving without much effort or sore muscles. He doesn't like to exercise, but loves to use the Elliptical Leg Exerciser which keeps his joints and muscles flexible instead of stiff and sore. He watches T.V. and uses the Leg Exerciser while enjoying his programs. It is well made, easy to use and adjust and very sturdy. He has been using it for over 6 months now, it works great and he still loves using it! I would definitely recommend it, it is a high quality and versatile product.

The Putnen Under Desk Elliptical Machine is very good. I read up on them and decided on this one and I am extremely happy with the machine. It comes all put together, the remote did need batteries and I needed an extension cord to plug it in which was no problem. The cord on the machine is not long at all. In fact, I would think most users would need to use an extension cord. The one thing I read is that the cord is at the top front of the machine which I felt was strange but causes no problems whatsoever. I simply sat down in my chair, put the machine by my feet, read the manual which is only a few pages long and was very easy to understand, ran it once or twice to test it out and that was it. You can use the remote for most functions or you can bend down slightly to power on and use the different functions on the machine itself. If I could do it properly anyone could do it. I am an older person with leg problems and bought it primarily for circulation. I cannot walk far at all before I need to stop. First time I used it I must have done 12 - 20 minute cycles and could have done more. I started out on level 1 and quickly went to level 6, I believe it has 10 or 12 levels. Of course, level 1 is very slow and goes faster with each level. Also I believe it has 2 or 3 cycles that are set on the machine, 20 minutes which is what it is set at when you get machine and 30 minutes which means it runs for that amount of time then shuts off and you just simply restart it again if you want to do another cycle. I could not believe how fast that 20 or 30 minutes went by. If I am going to be reading, watching TV, doing paperwork, etc for a few hours or more this machine is fabulous for all that and more. I read some comments about the noise level. I have super hearing and I could not hear any sound from it at all, not even a whisper of a sound. It is very stable and did not move a bit. It is not real small nor is it too big, just a nice size. It can be moved from room to room pretty easily, I would say you only need a little bit of muscle to pick it up and move to another room or closet to have it out of site. I must say though that I thought I would be moving it to the closet when not in use but want to tell you it truly is not a bad looking thing and because it is so easy to use, I see myself using it quite a bit, that I am just moving it to the side of my chair. As I said I read up on many of these machines before buying and the price for this was very good. One last thing I would like to add, it is so easy to use as the machine is doing all the work moving your legs for you because it is in the automatic mode. This is great for a lot of people who cannot for various reasons exert a lot of energy. There is a manual mode where you actually have to move your legs yourself to get the machine moving. I imagine this mode would be good for people who have no feet or leg problems. I believe most people buying this machine do not want to sit idle for so many hours and this machine is moving your feet and legs at all times getting that circulation moving which is so beneficial to your health. I would most definitely recommend this machine. I hope this review was helpful. You can always post a question if there is something else you need to know about this product.

I love this little machine, small footprint, allows me to watch TV or read a book while quietly running. Pre-programmed setting you just toggle with your remote, or you can just use the 12 speed adjustment to suit you. Starting to feel more mobility and strength in legs already. I can’t say it’s gotten rid of the pain in ankle yet, but I am hopeful. Great purchase.

It works fine. It just a little bit heavy.

I am mostly pleased with this Elliptical. I love that it has three different programs and that I can use it manually also! I use it all the time and have been seeing an improvement in my legs. Two things that stand out is that my iceberg feet are warmer and I have stopped getting those horrible leg and feet cramps. I think it was worth the money. The only thing I found was at first it was whisper quiet but the more I use it, it has kind of a whining noise but nothng that is disturbing to me.
