This exerciser is extremely well made. The main part is a solid casting and the cylinders appear to be equally heavy duty. Good up to 400 lbs. Made in USA is a plus. However…
First of all it has no rubber feet, kind of a cheap omission for a $400+ device. Because of this, it slides all over the (vinyl) floor and I fear it would scratch a hardwood floor. Xiser’s answer? Send us $49 and we’ll send you a non-slip mat and a carrying bag.
Next, the cylinders are not screwed down and only sit on little nubs on the frame. Each time you pick it up (by its handle) to move it the cylinders fall off the frame. Not impressive for a $400 machine. Some kind of thumb screws would have been more useful.
I could live with those short comings, but…the biggest drawback is the size. The width of the machine at the pedals is only 6 inches center-to-center, and only 10 inches total (from the outside edge of the left to the outside edge of the right). If you are a bit full-figured you will find it difficult to fit onto the pedals as you go up and down.
If the people who designed this actually used it (or tested it using real people) this could have been a killer machine. All they needed to do was add about 2 – 3 inches of extra width to it. As it is, I find it unusable and it going back.

The Xiser is great for strengthening legs. But more importantly, with hand weights it strengthens the arms as well. But the best reason to use the Xiser is that in one minute you can really boost your heart rate. So two minutes a day is all you need to really get your heart in great shape. After one minute on the Xiser you are breathing heavy, your leg muscles are pumped, and your arms are getting toned, too. Two minutes on the Xiser per day is great way to get fit. The Xiser is built to put your body in an anatomically correct position for leg stepping. It’s a great product and will last a lifetime! It’s built very well, all steel construction.

The X-iser is “the real deal”. Far more robust than other “low-profile” step machines. I’ve owned one for about ten years, and it is still standing up to almost daily use.
