The pluses:The Air Climber is lightweight, gives you a good workout, easy on the joints, 2 wide black platforms , and the power cords are a great addition for toning and increasing the workout. The diet plan info/DVD workout is a good bonus. The swishing sound (air traveling from bellow to the other) may annoy some folks, but after after a while, it did not bother me. The adjustable tension is also a nice feature.
A HUGE minus for me:
This product is NOT durable (quality issues) and that is why I gave it 2 stars. I enjoyed the product and after 30-35 minutes, I broke into a sweat. I returned the Air Climber once, and the factory gave me a new one. After extended normal use (several times per week), the bellows begin to leak air quickly, the black pedals remained unmovable, and stuck on the red platform.
I think this product was designed for folks who are light weight and will use it occasionally. Like many advertised fitness products, this company is banking on folks who will abandon the product and store in the garage. When the warranty runs out, it won't be worth repair costs if it breaks. I hope the parts are least recyclable.
At the time I weighed under 200 lbs. I am one of those folks who actually uses all exercise products I buy. I went through TWO Air climbers in a 4 month period and both leaked air/deflated and broke. Not Good.
My recommendations: buy one of those solid steppers, such as "the Step" with 3 tiers. The step is build better, stronger, and mine has lastedfor several years and still going!
If you really want one, then buy it under the assumption that it may last you for the duration of the winter season (for example), when most folks would rather not exercise outside in the cold or travel to a gym in bad weather.
I realize nothing lasts forever, you get what you pay for, however, this air climber is a big thumbs down for not being durable even in a short period of time!
