Niceday Steppers for Exercise at Home, Mini Stepper with 300LBS Capacity

it's a solid mini stepper and though there is a little more noise than advertised it's still quiet enough to watch a screen with. i like the size which is its best feature. having it under my standing desk makes it great to exercise during work. the mini aspect makes it easy to place and use anywhere. the foot pads are large enough and shaped to feel sturdy on.

I purchased this over a year ago and have ZERO complaints! It’s great! I use it on both hardwood and carpet flooring and it’s not too loud at all! I bring it to work or to other places to get in a few extra steps a day! It’s compact and not too big at all! Fits right under my work desk for behind my couch! It is very sturdy and the stability is honestly great! It doesn’t rock or move around! 100% would repurchase - amazing product for an amazing price! I highly recommend this to anyone who is debating it!

A few years ago I started working from home, and while that's awesome, it also caused me to spend a ridiculous amount of time sitting at my desk, as there's no reason to get up to go to the copier, or consult with a co-worker, etc. I can't always go for a 15 or 20 minute walk several times a day, so I wanted something I could do indoors, and something I could do frequently throughout the day during quick work breaks, to counteract all that sitting. Anything I could think of to do on my own (with no equipment) didn't seem like enough. But I have a tiny apartment and really didn't have room for much in the way of equipment. I knew if it was something that could be folded up to fit in a closet or under the bed, well, it'd probably stay there. I needed something that could sit right in the middle of the living room in plain sight, without being 'in my way.' This was it, and it's perfect. I get up from my desk every hour to hour and a half or so and do 5 minutes on this stepper. Five minutes isn't a lot to some people, but I'm out of shape so it's a pretty good workout for me (the way I have the tension set), and it gives me moving breaks all day long to break up all that sitting. Of course it could be used for longer sessions, but the point for my purpose wasn't to do a 30 minute cardio workout just on this, but instead to have some way to easily take 5 to 7 breaks during the day and really get my muscles moving and my heart pumping for a few minutes, to counteract all that sitting. This definitely does that. The stepper came almost completely assembled, you just have to tighten a pulley cable with a knob, and the instructions explain it easily. The resistance bands with handles are adjustable for your height and/or how much resistance you want them to have. They are also optional, you can do the stepper with or without them. I actually usually don't use them. I have some discomfort in my right knee, and was worried this would be a problem with the type of movement on this machine. Using the stepper while standing completely upright does cause some pain in my knee (tho I may have the tension a little high, too). Sometimes I wear a knee brace, which does help - but I also discovered another trick I like. I put the stepper in front of a sturdy table and lean forward with my hands on the table, sort of the same position you'd be in if you were riding a bike. When I use it that way I have no knee discomfort, and as a bonus, I can do more steps in the same amount of time, because it's a little bit easier. So overall, I love it, it works great, I've had no problems with it at all. It's very sturdy and feels well built, but it's not too heavy to move around if you need to reposition it. I'd recommend it for anyone, but especially if space is a concern, and even if you're out of shape and can't do much exercise at one time (like a full 30 minute hard core cardio workout) - because with this, you can do just what you can, all throughout the day, and build up.

I’ve been using the Niceday stepper for a few months now and I’m honestly impressed. It’s compact, sturdy, and easy to set up right out of the box. I like that it doesn’t take up much space, so I can slide it under my bed or tuck it in a corner when I’m done. The resistance feels smooth and challenging enough to actually get a good sweat going, especially when I use the resistance bands for arms at the same time. Even short sessions leave my legs feeling worked, which is perfect for days when I don’t have time for a full workout. It’s also pretty quiet, so I can use it while watching TV without bothering anyone. Overall, it feels well-built and does exactly what it’s supposed to do. If you’re looking for an easy way to stay active at home without bulky equipment, this stepper is definitely worth it.

I bought the stepper because I have restless leg syndrome pretty bad and have had both of my knees replaced. I don't have the greatest range of motion in my knees due to my scar tissue buildup and I have balance issues so I'm limited on what I can do for exercising. I wasn't sure i⁹ I'd be able to keep my balance on the stepper but I put a chair in front of me to hold on to and have no issues using the stepper. And when my restless legs flare up the stepper helps calm them down. It's so easy to use and came out of the box ready to use aside from adjusting the tension. I finally found exercise equipment that I can use and is challenging. I highly recommend getting this stepper. It's a good workout!

Because of my current living and employment situations, I don't get moving as much as I used to. The gym that's most affordable to me is about 20min away and I wouldn't be able to go workout before work. I really can't workout late in the day because I'm not able to sleep if I do, so I would usually go to the gym in the morning. I've gained a lot of weight because of where I'm at in life right now and I find it difficult to even eat well because the people I'm staying with are junk food fiends. I bought this mini stepper after I received an email from Amazon showing deals on popular items. I didn't even know that mini steppers are a thing until I got that email. Anyway, I started using it for 15min a day (sometimes 2-3 times a day) in the morning before work. The instructions say not to use it for longer than 15min and not to use it outside, so I just put it on the kitchen floor and watch watch video while I'm at it. Over time, it did start squeaking, but I used some WD-40 and it stopped. I believe the instructions mention something about keeping it lubricated as well. One of the people I'm staying with sleeps in her recliner in the living room, which is right next to the kitchen, so when the stepper started making a bit of a clicking noise it made me very anxious that she would wake up and catch me (I'm not allowed to have many of my own belongings here and I'm not allowed to have shoes inside - so I don't want her to see me using it). It's pretty quiet (in my opinion), especially if you aren't paranoid about anyone hearing you use it. It's very compact and I store it in the other person's closet. It's a little heavier than I expected, but not too heavy to move back and forth each time I want to use it. It also came with resistance bands, but I still haven't used them. One small dislike that I have is that the pedals are a little too close together. It was a little bit of a balancing act for me in the beginning, but I would just use it next to the fridge to have something to hold onto. The pedal width may not be an issue for everyone, though. I just happen to have larger thighs at the moment, lol. There's a small display that counts your steps, calories burned (at least I THINK that's what that smaller number is) and when you press the button it tells you how long you were working out. As far as calories burned, I would take that with a grain of salt because you aren't able to put your stats in or anything. I had a really great 60-day streak of using this little thing and I did lose 12lbs during that time. I was eating my fair share of junk food, otherwise I may have seen better results. Unfortunately, I got sick and wasn't able to use my stepper for about 8-9 days. Once I was feeling better, I never got back into the daily habit of using it. I would definitely recommend this stepper to anyone who just wants one or more quick workouts throughout the day. I've recommended it to two friends, but I don't know if they've looked into it or not. I hope this long review was helpful for anyone hoping to find a way to get more exercise during the week :-)

Okay let me start by saying, this is a really good little stepper. I bought it a couple weeks ago and wanted to try it for a few weeks so I can give an honest, fair review. Comes put together. Only thing you have to assemble is the straps (super easy to clip on). Very stable (bought a different one before this one and it was soo wobbly and hard to stay on) I use it for about 30 minutes every day. By the end of my workout, I'm sweating and my legs are burning (in a good way) I've noticed my waist is slimming and my thighs are starting to tone. Great little stepper for the price. Now, the reason I'm giving it 3 stars is because it started being SO noisy a couple days ago randomly (I willl try to attach a video) . I've tried adjusting the height, moving it to a different place in my house but it's still so noisy. It wasn't like this the first 2 weeks I've used it so I'm not sure why it started making the loud noise. If you can get past the noise, it's a good little workout.

I liked this Niceday hydraulic mini stepper for two weeks during daily home workouts. The compact stair stepper includes resistance bands and an LCD monitor, with a 300LBS weight capacity. The stepper feels solid and stable on my floor, easily supporting my weight during stepping sessions. The hydraulic system provides smooth, quiet resistance, and the adjustable tension is easy to change. The included resistance bands add upper-body options, making it more versatile than basic steppers. The LCD monitor tracks steps, time, calories, and distance clearly. It’s compact enough to store under a bed or in a closet when not in use. I used it for 15–30 minute sessions and found it effective for low-impact cardio at home. The non-slip pedals stayed secure even with faster stepping. The only minor drawbacks are that the LCD can be hard to read from certain angles, and the resistance bands feel a bit light for stronger users. I’ll update after a couple of months to report on long-term durability of the hydraulic mechanism, pedal stability, and how well the monitor holds up with daily use. This is a practical, space-saving mini stepper that combines cardio with light resistance training. The 300lb capacity and included bands make it suitable for most adults. I’d recommend it for anyone wanting a compact, quiet home workout tool for legs and light full-body movement.

I don't know how this compares to cheaper steppers of the same sort of design but this is way overpriced. There's barely any resistance and it gets less as you go past 15 minutes and the hydraulics heat up. Not very effective and definitely not worth the price.

Love this little stepper, which has gotten me to exercise a lot more than before. It doesn't make a lot of noise when stepping on it, and I like that it's quite compact and can be tucked away in a small corner of my apartment without getting in the way. I use it on a carpet to minimize the noise, and the resistance bands are really useful to develop arm strength. I have size 8.5 feet and I have no issues using the stepper. As other reviewers have mentioned, the built in counter died on me within 3 weeks of use, but I use a different step counter on my phone to do my tracking so I'm not too bothered by it. I also bought the version that came with a mat, which is very thin and honestly not too impressive. Other than putting it under the stepper where I store it, I don't really use it. Get the one with the mat only if you don't have another mat or carpet you can put it on. But still giving this 5 stars because getting this stepper has been life changing for me.

The accessories were missing I don't want a refund but couldn't see from the options how to request the missing parts without doing a refund. Please contact me as I need assistance.

False advertising, package already makes noise from day 2 of using,not nice day brand
