Stair Stepper w/Handlebar, Extended Step Range Climber Machine for Legs, Core and Glute Workouts, Connection with Free SunnyFit App

Since there are already a lot of reviews, both good and bad, on the Sunny Stair Stepper I won’t repeat too much what you’ve already read. Most of the reviews I read were by people under six feet and under 200 pounds. Since I’m 6’6” and currently 235 pounds, I thought I would give my perspective to the other tall folks out there who are wondering if they should give this stepper a try. I was looking at getting some exercise equipment for the home, since my wife and I were sick of driving to the gym, and were also getting tired of the gym itself. We used to have a treadmill and stationary bike at the house, but got rid of them in order to declutter our office where we kept the workout equipment. As already stated, our solution of a gym membership wasn’t ideal, so I chose the Stair Stepper because of its small footprint and reasonable price. After reading the reviews, I had some concerns that I would be too big for the stair stepper and would constantly bump my knees against the cross bar. I’ve bumped my knees only a few times. I quickly got into the habit of putting by heels to the back edge of the pedals, giving my knees extra room. It hasn’t really been a problem since. Also, it’s hard for me to go fast on this stepper so the chance of me bumping my knees is lowered even more. I asked my wife if I look too cartoonishly large for the stepper, and she said not any more than usual when I’m using other exercise equipment. Thanks, honey. While small, the stair stepper is very sturdy. I thought my height and weight would make this stepper easy to tilt, but that is not the case. I can get it to rock a little only if I try to. When using it as recommended, it is very stable on the floor. I know my current weight of 235 pounds is more than the stated limit of 220 pounds, and I’m hoping it will drop soon. So far the stepper seems to handle the weight. After four days, I upped the resistance to “2.” As a few other reviewers noted, I think the resistance levels are designed to accommodate increased weight, not the strength of your leg muscles, since the first level was a little too easy. The pistons slid down too quickly. At level “2” I feel I’m getting a workout. Since I’m heavier than the average user, I think I will get more out of an increased resistance level. So far, I am getting a pretty strong workout, and my legs are letting me know it. I agree with the other reviewers who say this stepper is quick and easy to assemble. My package came with two monitors. I don’t know if that was a mistake or because a lot of customers are having problems with their monitors breaking down and Sunny thought it would just give you a spare one upfront. The only problem I encountered during assembly was a missing lock nut for the pedal. I had also read that many reviewers had a similar problem with missing hardware, so I already had my big bucket of extra hardware I’ve accumulated for over 30 years standing by. Just a minute of scrounging turned up a nut that would fit the bolt. Since the missing locknut wasn’t a problem for me; I won’t reduce my overall rating, but be aware that the manufacturer is still having problems including all of the required hardware. I hope this review helps the tall folks out there. Overall, this stepper has fit our requirements of a good workout, low price, and small footprint. I really hope it continues to meet our need. I will update my review if anything changes.

The adjustment capability is great, Im 5’4 so I like it tall but my husband is 6’ foot tall so he likes it lower. Ease to use and I did download the app but it never connects but it dont bother me none bc I use my Apple Watch. The size is perfect for our living too area but we moved it into the garage now that it’s lava in Texas. The durability is great, handles myself and my husband when working out. the Balance on this machine is strong and sturdy. Wish I would have gotten tbe one with resistance bands bit this one works jus as great. I went from 2 minutes to 5 minutes intervals along with a mile run in between. Feels amazing.

My stepper came well packaged and undamaged. Assembly was easy for me. It was minimal compared to other home fitness equipment. I don't use the digital counter. I just watch my DVR recordings and track my progress with time rather than steps. Like others stated, there should be springs or some sort of rubber stoppers when the pedals come to the bottom. I have to keep my legs "under tension" per se to keep the pedals from bottoming out and striking metal on metal. This feature needs improvement for creating newer models.

I use this 4 to 5 days a week for my fasting cardio in the morning. I really like it. It's lightweight and easy to move between rooms as I like to set up in front of my TV to watch my cdrama while burning fat. Love Between Fairy and Devil with Dylan Wang and Esther Yu. I could hear your mind asking me for a cdrama recommendation, so there it is. The display on it always works and never glitches out on me. You control intensity, i.e. smaller strides vs bigger strides, slow or fast paced etc. I just wish the foot pedals were a bit longer. Otherwise it's a great at home device.

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.

The digital monitor was not included in the package, can't be used without it hence had to return...

this is very good climber . . . it gives deep steps which simulate a hiking-climbing workout . . . its made in such a way that you have to fully push down on each down-step . . . I suppose if you loosen the tension then it may go faster . . . I'm 52 suffering severe emotional trauma, clinical depression and severe agoraphobia for 11 years . . . I was always slender but 2-3 years ago all my meds caught up with me . . . resulting in a gain of over 40 pounds by end-2017 . . . I'm not so fit at this time . . . but this Climber is ideal for maintaining stamina, strength & balance . . . and when I do 5 minute spurts it feels kind of aerobic . . . The ideal would be for me to do 3 five-minute spurts within 40 minutes . . . the climber appears very well built & sturdy . . . it doesn't take much space . . . and its not expensive at all . . . I do recommend it . . . but if you're very fit with lots of physical activity then it may be too simplistic for you.

Great little piece of kit, easy to assemble (though there was a nut missing but it was easy to replace at my local hardware store) and takes up very little space when folded up. I keep mine behind a door and whip it out when I fancy a quick work out, the little computer is basic but good and it does give you a really good workout. The only things I would advise you about is it makes a bit of a wooshing sound when you're on it so if you're an early bird with downstairs neighbours you might want to pop it above an unpopulated space, and the other thing is you do need to lubricate the pistons, I just use a little oil that I use to lube my bike chain and that keeps it runnign smoothly. Happy stepping!

Sólida, fácil de armar, el único problema que he tenido es la computadora (no funciona), pero no es la gran cosa.

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
