Sport Elite GB-5105 / ST0732-01

Advantages: comfortable, takes up little space

Disadvantages: There are no modes, regulation has not yet figured out

Comment: For my money, an excellent model, I bought it for a long time, I like it, buy it, do not regret it,
how many people have so many opinions, our family is satisfied, we use it in three, for a year, no damage whatsoever, everything is new.

Advantages: + Simple design (fully understand why - I will write in the comments)
+ No cable (which, according to reviews, quickly frayed)

Disadvantages: - For trained legs will be weak
- Dry (see comments)

Comment: There is nothing to compare with, but, in principle, I liked it. If you survive thousands of 100 steps, then put 5 points. I have a weight, by the way, 84 kg. Now to the disadvantages:
- Dry. those. ALL dry! Lubrication is not an ounce! After the first thousand steps visible chips of sealing washers (they are made of plastic). I had to disassemble and grease all the connections with a generous layer of grease. Yes, I will advise those who decide to lubricate - it is not necessary to tighten the bolts too much! Be sure to leave the backlash 0.5-1mm, for this is a miracle of Chinese engineering (crooked, not fitted).
- Shock absorbers are heated (well, if you completely vtopit, then it is noticeable up to 70-80 degrees, the smell appears already). Perhaps these are my fears, since judging by the quality car shock absorbers, some of them can withstand heating to +140 degrees Celsius. I will note that the appearance of these shock absorbers is good, they do not play, they do not sweat (let's see how much is enough)
- For me, the stepper is rather weak (I was an all-season everyday cyclist, until I was stolen great). Those. if you practice only on it and without warming up, then the pulse is about 105 and it is hard to lift, which is not suitable for me at all. But if you dilute the workout - then the rules, you can keep the heart rate 120.
Of the benefits:
+ Price by current standards is normal.
+ You can pervert and train your arms, shoulders and even the press.
+ What-no, but still activity in the winter.
+ If the pulse is kept in the region of 105-110 and pressed with the legs, then the counter of calories expended shows quite correctly (compared with a cardio sensor)
P.S .: My model seems to be modified (GB-5105 / ST0732-01 / SE5105), a slightly different design than in the Yandex picture.
