Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm a home care physical therapist, and I just encountered one of these units at a patient's home. It might as well be made out of tin foil. The foot pedals are held on with a thin stem of metal that bends with any use and is guaranteed to succumb to metal fatigue and break off within the first few uses. The stalk supporting the arm pedals cannot be tightened to the point of stability, either. Really, it's reprehensible that this manufacturer is taking the money of people who are trying to improve their health. There are "not so good" products, and then there are products that are made with such audacious disregard for fulfilling their basic function that they could truly be regarded as scams. This is the latter. Yes, the idea of this design is a good one, but the execution is abysmal. Please do not reward this manufacturer for scamming consumers with utter junk. Stick with an ordinary "restorator" pedal exerciser - the Stamina brand ones with the larger-diameter tubing are the most sturdy and rigid, but the cheaper Drive Medical ones are fine also. None of these devices is intended for anyone with good strength and endurance - friction resistance is adequate only for those who are relatively weak - but for frail elders, the well-made restorator units are fine. But this is NOT the one to buy. Did I mention, don't buy this?
