Putnen Under Desk Elliptical Machine, Electric Elliptical Leg Exerciser for Seniors with 12 Adjustable, Portable Quiet Elliptical Exercise Machine, Seated Pedal Exerciser with Remote Control

This elliptical is a fabulous find. It is just like the famous Cubeii but more affordable. It can be used while watching TV or working at your desk. Really pleased with it. Easy to use, no pain, just wonderful. Sturdy, stable, remote control, can use automatic or manual settings. Quiet operation, great value, ideal if you have to exercise while seated.

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.

unfortunately I had to return this, I do recommend it though, fits perfectly under your desk, you can do it manually or let it do it for you, I have a bad knee and it got it hurting after my first use, I skipped the next day and tried it again, still got my knee hurting, I did not want to chance it messing with my knee, I've had too many issues with it, so I returned it while it was still new, if you don't have bad knees, it would be a great buy, good quality, great price

This machine is excellent. I bought one for my 76 year old dad, and he has seen a great increase in his overall mobility. I also purchased one for my home and have found it easy to use and a great way to get in some steps while grading papers at home!

It works well and as stated, I thought it was something you used to workout yourself not something that manually moved your legs so be aware of that. I have medical issues that make it hard to walk and stand so this is great for if you need help getting basic movement and exercise. It does make noise but it’s decently quiet and if you had headphones on or audio playing you wouldn't hear it. If you sit at a desk alot like me its good for getting circulation and movement if you don’t want to pace around in between work. Unless you cant work out any other way this is good as a supplement to add to your usual exercise. Also if you have a thin desk be cautious that it probably wont fit but its light enough you could move or push it to the side. Also the feet pads have bumps so be aware in case you have sensitive or fragile feet. Also it tracks distance in what I think is revolutions of the petals not miles so its abit hard to track if you like doing that
