Comments about FOLD AWAY AIR WALKER:

I bought this product a while back, but never used it. I recently started using it a couple days a week and the main part of the stand has literally started ripping away from the base (the metal is tearing). I thought this was strange, but just noticed someone else in the reviews had the same problem. [...]

Easy to set up and use. It's not really an eliptical, it's more of a stridder or easy walker. I don't think the calorie counter works-the computer component is very cheap.

Comments about FOLD AWAY AIR WALKER:

I like this product for its ease of use and ease of storage. It doesn't take up a lot of room and I mainly use it for those times when I don't get a chance to go to the gym. I do however, need to put in more minutes just to get my heart pumping and to equal the amount of work I would have done on an elliptical in the gym.

Comments about FOLD AWAY AIR WALKER:

This is a great product for very light, no resistance exercise. My 60+ year old parents love it. I am only 30 years old & it did not provide any level of resistance for an effective workout. Also, the unit is not very sturdy while in use.

Comments about FOLD AWAY AIR WALKER:

The Air Walker is easy to set up and is not too bulky.It would not be realistic to fold it up after each use in my opinion though.The only complaint I have about it is the monitor.Reading it is not intuitive and there are no instructions with it.I have not been able to get it to take my pulse accurately.

Comments about FOLD AWAY AIR WALKER:

I can either power my legs with the arm motion or vice versa for a more versatile workout. It's quiet so I can watch TV. It is NOT easy to store away and if I wanted to do it it's too bulky to store under my bed.

Comments about FOLD AWAY AIR WALKER:

Great way to start if you haven't worked out for awhile. Put on some music with a beat start for 10 minutes and in a couple of weeks you will be up to 30-40 minutes. Don't rely on the display for accurate information....cheap....use a clock.

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about FOLD AWAY AIR WALKER:

I was very excited to get my air walker. However, since it is a fold-away the machine was not very sturdy, so you cannot get as good of a workout as I expected. Also, it does fold, however, it not as compact or lightweight as I expected. Does not fit under my bed, only fits in my large hall closet and takes up a lot of the closet space.

Gets the job done

Comments about FOLD AWAY AIR WALKER:

Overall its a great product, very easy to use and set up. Its a bit heavy, and underbed storage seems unlikely, unless its a pretty high bed. I think you can get a good workout on it, however, it is a bit unstable, and if you get going at quick pace, feels like the whole thing is going to move across the floor.

Comments about FOLD AWAY AIR WALKER:

This is a good compact unit. It is pretty easy to take apart and put back together but it takes some strenght. I only put it away when I am having company. Not easy enough to pull out and put away daily. But it does fit in a small closet when house guest arrive!

The only con is that it can be a little wobbly.

This was ok when I began to exercise but in the warm weather I walk 3-4 hilly miles a day. Going back to this machine in the winter in no way compared to the exercise I was used to getting by walking.
