MERACH Under Desk Elliptical Machine for Home, Electric Elliptical Machine for Seniors with 12 Adjustable Speed, Quiet & Portable Seated Pedal Exerciser with Remote Control & Non-Slip Pad

Great exercise machine. Fits comfortably under a desk. Quite enough to use during calls except from when it beeps while starting it. It’s heavy but that’s good as it does not move when in use. After looking around this seem like good value for what it is.

Excellent build quality, rubber grips on peddles as opposed to plastic like some others, feels comfortable on bare feet, looks prime quality and more discreet than some others. Resistance bands great, can lean back and sit forward on different height seating, the remote works well and rotation is good. To rotate in manual mode press on remote, it will stop and pause to change over and start again, the function button only works in manual mode to view each reading of choice, it won’t work in automatic mode- but it lets you see each reading one by one automatically. The auto modes have a pattern of going slow to fast, forward and rotating backwards by itself. It is .Relaxing whilst watching tv, couldn’t use with others in office as it might annoy others but certainly ok to use whilst watching tv. I could see this being good for elderly to improve circulation, ankle and calf strength whilst also strengthening wrists , shoulders, arms and chest muscles with resistance bands. You may lose some calories too and build up strength slowly and gently. Looks better than any others I’ve seen on Amazon. Delivered with care and has a years warranty which you need to register for- details in manual. . Weight 7kg lighter than most and was easy to pick up with one hand but elderly may need two hands but reasonable weight to lift short distances. Mat is thin but may not be required afterall. Used on a carpet. Impressed with overall quality. Once you get used to where the readings are on screen you can see it light up as each reading is presented. Not read instructions yet so was pretty easy to get going. It has a safety cut off after 15mins so as not to over do it but it’s easily started again with the remote or by touching the screen button. Just arrived so will update if any issues.

Item itself does what it says on the tin. It’s pretty compact, fairly lightweight(although some seniors may not think so), yet stable on my carpeted floor, does not move around. Sturdily made. Looks like it will last, and quiet in operation. Downside: 2 stars knocked off due to late delivery by Royal Mail because package was sitting in their Midlands superhub for 2 days. It was meant to be next day delivery. Tracking wasn’t at all accurate and didn’t offer an accurate delivery date or time. Otherwise would be 5 stars. Bought for recovery after hip replacement, I find it’s good for ankle and knee mobilisation.UPDATE: the delay was in no way due to Merach. The fault has lain with Amazon’s use of an unreliable carrier. Merach customer service, 5-star. If you order, beware that Amazon may use a third party to deliver.

It seems good light weight easy to set up . Still getting to grips with the different programs a that’s why only four stars only had it a few days Hopefully will help to strengthen my legs

So far it’s working well. Very quiet in fact no noise from it at all which would be important if you were using it in an office environment. The programmes are rather short at 15 minutes, double this would be better for me but you can restart it if you want longer. It isn’t light weight so moving it around if you’re older like me is a bit of a challenge but not impossible. Very happy with it up to now.

Great little machine, I have it under my desk at work, its very quiet and easy to use. I don't have a lot of strength in my legs due to neuropathy but because this is electric it moves your legs for you I have found that after using this machine, my legs are slowly getting stronger, wish I had bought on earlier.Its not too heavy to move, at weekends I take it home and use it there and then bring it back to the office in the week.

Third time lucky! After two previous purchases - from two other brands - which l had to return because of faults. I've now had this Merach machine for several weeks and l'm very pleased with it. The display panel is ideally placed, the pedals provide good grip & the motor is reasonably quiet. It's very stable and well made.I use it regularly and it has been a big help to my joints, from ankle to hip.

Very good for people who have mobility issues, works legs well. Easy to operate with a handy remote control. Hardly any noise with it Good value for money, Also comes with foot straps
