Amazon.com Product Description
Limited in space but still want a great cardiovascular workout? Look no further than the Stamina InStride electronic stepper, which offers a footprint of only 12 inches wide by 16 inches long. As a result, you can use your InStride stepper just about anywhere--in front of the TV, while on the phone, in your sunroom, outside on the patio, or even at work. The InStride stepper is even small enough to toss into a workout bag and take on vacation. The stepper is equipped with two hydraulic cylinders that create a stepping motion similar to those of commercial stair steppers. As you step, you work your calves, thighs, buttocks, and core while boosting your cardio, helping you burn calories and fat. The InStride's battery-operated multifunction fitness monitor, meanwhile, times each workout and counts the number of steps, so you can stay motivated and on track to reach your fitness goals. Construction details include a steel frame and wide, textured foot pedals for stability. The InStride, which weighs 20 pounds, carries a one-year warranty on the frame and a 90-day warranty on parts. About Stair Steppers
Stair steppers continue to be popular options for home exercise. They offer the same benefits as running stairs, but with the "any time, in any weather, without having to leave the comfort and safety of your home" convenience. Stair steppers don't take up much space, require moderate balance and coordination, and can provide an effective workout for all levels of users, from beginners to serious competitors. Following on the heels of treadmills and exercise bikes, stair steppers took their first step towards fitness machine success in the early 1980s. Like most exercise equipment, stair steppers have come a long way technically speaking. For example, advanced computers on most new models allow users to track their vitals at a glance. However, the most crucial benefits of stair steppers remain the impacts of cardiovascular and muscle tone fitness. Stair steppers continue to offer an exercise that is less jarring than treadmills, but more intense than elliptical trainers.

 Great Workout! August 15, 2010
Joel Steinberg (Black Earth, WI)
I use this stepper when I'm watching NFL Network and it really works your legs! I love this product but it does start making squeaky sounds after 5-10 min of use.
 Satisfied August 15, 2010

I ordered this product because I drive semi on road construction, so I sit on my butt all day. This is a great product and reasonably priced. I just love it. It has alot of tension so it is a good workout for the legs. I can watch television and lift weight's while using it. I would definately recommend it to anyone that needs to exercise their leg's!

 Lasted four months with moderate use, very squeaky June 4, 2010
Amazonian (Massachusetts, USA)
I bought this mini-stepper at the end of January, and received it early February, and it broke today, so it lasted about four months. Although it was a reasonably good machine while it worked - except for the squeaking mentioned by many other reviewers - I think four months is poor value for something that's $50+.
I know that mini-steppers aren't particularly durable. I bought the Stamina InStride Electronic Stepper to replace a Gaiam mini-stepper that I had bought used, and that one also lasted about four months for me. But I'm 5'5", weigh 130 pounds, and used the stepper for 30-40 minutes 5 times a week, so I think that's moderate use that a mini-stepper should be able to take for at least a year. The part that broke is the flexible metal link that fits into the grooved wheel, so it's not something easily replaceable.
Over the four months, I've had to oil various parts of the machine with WB40 about 6 times; otherwise, the squeaking was unbearable. Once oiled, I liked the feel of the stepper.
One other quirk: the counter sometimes worked properly; sometimes didn't. It always turned on, but sometimes under-counted the time, reps etc.
 Broke 4 months after purchase May 3, 2010

I was using the "Stamina InStride Electronic Stepper" 2-3 times a week for 1.5-2 hour exercises.
The product broke 4 months after purchase.
The stepper was making squeaking sounds from day one, and I had to constantly oil it. And now the steel cable broke in half! (BTW, my weight is 170 lbs)
Totally useless! Stay away!
