This pedal exerciser works perfectly. All I had to do was screw on the tension wheel and I was good to go. It does sit without moving even on a Berber rug. The feet are rubber and have ribs so they hold to the Berber but would not hold to a smooth rug. Fortunately I was able to move the area rug enough so that it works fine. I don't really use the timer gizmo, I just time it by my watch. I bought it because if have a very bad back and one bad knee and this is perfect. I sit in a recliner with a pillow behind my back or in a club chair or in a straight back dining room chair depending on what I am doing. I haven't done the arm exercise yet but am sure it will be just as good. The tension is excellent. I find it well made, using good materials. I keep it in my living room near my recliner and use for now once a day but will probably move to twice a day soon. Being 81 and having exercised at a gym for 14 years til my back got too bad and my PT told me I could no longer push or pull weights, I have been unable to exercise other than walking and then my back would growl. So I bought a walker and it's too cold right now to go out. So......this inexpensive, well made exerciser is perfect and the price is incredible. I registered it yesterday for the one year warranty. To me this is a good, sturdy piece of equipment. I also do not use the straps, I never have in all the years I used a recumbent bike, they just bother me and my feet hold easily on the pedals of this machine. I cannot remove them however, without cutting one side and that bothers me. Who knows who might want to use it and have the straps. Usually, the straps are able to be removed, I think. Not sure thought since I never used them at the gym and they did not fall to the floor. The right side did get in the way last night so I may just cut them off. No one else will use this exerciser so no reason to be annoyed by them. Folding it up is so easy, pull the ring on each side, done and nicely out of the way. I waited over a week to see how I liked this and should anything occur which is not good, I will edit this review. Oh, my son is going to buy one to use under his desk. I have something else I use there and don't want to pedal while computing.
EDIT: I still like this exerciser BUT I have a back problem which this item seems to aggravate and I wake up in the middle of the night with severe leg pain. I am doing 30 to 40 minutes a day so will cut back to maybe 15 and see if that helps. Regardless of this, I still think it is a fine exerciser.
EDIT 2: I am unable to use this product at all. It is sitting in my living room....it causes my legs to vibrate while sleeping, for bout five minutes....even if I only use it for 10 minutes every other day....so sad because it is a good piece of equipment. Used barely at all......
