I have weakness in my knee and I have found that using the machine for an hour a day is helping me to walk steadily. It may not work for everyone but it’s made me feel better. After use it’s light enough to pick up and store behind an armchair.
I have just come out of a very long stay in hospital and needed something to get the blood pumping to loosen up my knees and ankles, so far so good. This machine is absolutely fantastic and I can highly recommend it for anyone that situation.
I so felt a difference after 3 weeks. Yes, to me well worth the money if you are wheelchair bound. I had another one but you had to use bare feet, so no good to me, this you can leave your footwear on. Brilliant.
The exerciser is very sturdy. However, most will be ordered by elderly,people like me. Where are the instructions. We need step by step instructions ina good sized print. Thee is a hand controller and yes eventually I sorted things out to be able to use but clear information would be so helpful. Also, almost 200 and not the needed batteries in the box. Luckily I had some this time but many people may not.
Such a pity these small details are not attended to.I WOULD STILL LIKE STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS IN LARGE PRINT
I love this machine, I use it every night and it really does keep the puffiness in my ankles down and takes the puffiness away and the fact that you can sit and use it while watching the television is a bonus.
Bought for our mother who has had a stroke and no use of her left side. This machine moves both of her legs in such a way that it will unquestionably have benefits to circulation and muscle tone which we’ve been unable to find using any other device. Very grateful to have found it.
Gentle exercise after major surgery showed results after only 1 week.
This is a great item for doing your leg exercise. We both use it every day for a hour each.
Very useful and helpful machine But I lost mislaid or it got into rubbish nin Anyway I do not need or want to replace it
HOW can Amazon let me contact the seller and purchase a replacement REMOTE Control?
Product is good, initial usage is promising, but the paperwork and warranty side of things are not so clear cut.
I highly recommend this item for people who don’t or cant do much. I love it. It helps with circulation in feet and legs. For results it needs to be used regular. It does it itself u just have to b sat down and put ur feet on it.
My Mum pointed this product out to me but we were a little dubious at first. Many exercise products make claims about their ease of use and then when they arrive you are left feeling disappointed and frustrated. She decided she would give it a try and has not been disappointed.
It was easy to set up, but quite heavy for someone with impaired strength to move (so ask for help if needed). My Mum has Post Polio Syndrome, a replacement knee and has had to use a wheelchair for about 8 years. She feels she has lost even more strength in her legs during that time, but it really doesn’t matter with this machine because it really does all the work for you. You put your feet on it and it literally does the work for you.
It is still early days as she has only been using it 3 weeks but she reports good progress! She feels her circulation has improved and there is even some strengthening of her thigh muscles. She does not expect she will every be able to walk again the way she used to but she wonders if in time she will feel stronger and safer when she stands to do ‘transfers’ and little jobs like standing at the sink.
She would highly recommend this product.
So I can sew, knit, read and watch telly all at the same time. If you sit in the correct position it actually moves your legs right to the hip. So like riding a bike except you don’t do anything, the machine does it for you. This means after sitting for a long period, I don’t feel like I have to crank up my joints to get them moving. I can get out of the chair and walk easily. I don’t regret buying this, unlike some ” exercise gadgets”
I have bought in the past.
The machine was easy to assemble. It is very sturdy. Everyone who sits on the chair behind it absentmindedly start peddaling. Even if I just do a couple of minutes at the time, I feel it in my legs, they are definitely getting stronger. Would highly recommend.
So far it is working well, I will be waiting for a longer period to have a better idea for judging this device.
Like the fact it can be stored in a small space. I bought this mainly for circulation in my legs. I’m fast approaching 74years old and find mobilisation getting a little tricky.
Took me a while to work out the program but did in the end. I use it while I watch tv.
Great machine, much heavier than expected, only used the manual setting so far.
The only problems are— it is difficult to slide into an arch chair with the machine in place and if you leave the remote control in it’s cradle it is almost impossible to pick it up while sitting in the chair. ( This has been solved by my wife making a small bag to hang on the chair arm).
We both have used the machine for periods up to 15 minutes and in the short time we have had it noticed some improvement.
This machine is great for my elderly husband to get some leg exercise, he’s got oedema and I bought this machine to see if he would use it to help shift some of the fluid on his ankles and feet as he now can’t walk very far due to heart problems. He’s using it after I put it together which took 10 minutes. Slight squeak from wheels to begin with but that soon went once in use. Only complaint is scan meter is hard to see with no back light but not a serious problem.
Love it! Had for 3 days and using each day and can already feel the benefits. Wish I’d found it years ago!! In context I’m 70 with poor mobility having been hospitalised and lost muscle tone. This will make all the difference and I’m looking forward to skipping about again before too long.
I like this , nothing to dislike , It’s great I will use it 3 times a day.
Unable to walk far or to climb stairs, I was afraid this movement would be too much for me. I am delighted to find it is comfortable, easy and under my control. This product is now in daily use and enables me to take exercise I couldn’t do before. I am very pleased with this item and recommend it.
Very sturdy and easy to use
Does everything it claims
My only gripe is I paid 30 more on Amazon for this item 3 weeks ago Ouch !!
Great bargain at this price and still 250 at Argos
Lovely piece of equipment, it’s a real Shane it starts at a quick speed instead of the slowest speed
It helps mobility and does the hard work for you.
So easy to use , brought for my Mother 89 years old, and brought another for mum’s friend they both feel more strength in there legs, must buy it’s terrific m/c for your legs walking alot better and very happy
Got this to help fitness after replacement knee operation
It real helps
Machine first class disappointed in length of cable,not long enough to position where is best in every room.
As a 71 year old I find this very good easy to use and good value I am delighted with buy
Not really broken Orbitrex 3rd time, cannot get through to anyone. For pick up and refund.
Shop around for better one. Having problems returning sncc D.C. gettjng refund.
This is just what I needed. Easy to use and can use for as long as you like. the only little thing is the instructions are hard to read as so small.
The motorized pedals helps you keep going.
Easy to use.
Great exercise equipment after being in the hospital for a long time.
I have had this about a month now and have been using it every day. I am very impressed it has been so easy to use. I can watch my fav prog on TV while my legs are being exercised and it has doen them so good. I have lost the odeama and my ankles and knees are much stronger now. It has helped me no end so I feel I can recommend this to anyone who has mobility problems or cant put a lot of weight on their legs, being able to exercise helps tremendously.
Good value for money..
Easy to use..
Very sturdy machine..
Product was good but unfortunately not suitable for my very disabled husband as he couldn’t keep his feet on the foot plates so had to return i
Disliked opening box & seeing a spanner, screws & bolts. Got a man to deal with that & all is wonderful now. Great job. Thank you.
This piece of kit is better than I expected (despite it being expensive) and works really well for my chairbound 90 year old! She sits there with the thing whirring around and is happy with the movement and her passive exercise regime. If I had a criticism it would be that the default starting speed is too high. It would be better if it started slow and the user was responsible for increasing the speed, rather than it starting at a moderate speed and having to be adjusted downwards for our elderly user.
My husband had a fall and was in hospital for 2 weeks when he came home he wasn’t steady on his feet with the result he didn’t walk so he saw this a d asked me to buy this device. He started using this as soon as it was delivered gradually a bit longer every day or short sessions three times a day. Best buy worth the money, he is walking a lot better at last thank you for selling this useful piece of exuipme
I like that it works but it moves while pedalling
Following several spinal operations I unfortunately find myself with limited mobility and unable to walk unaided. Even when I do mobilise it is at a slow pace and only for a few yards at a time. I have been looking for a piece of equipment that would help to get some strength back in my legs.
I have been fortunate to find the Orbitrek MX . This allows me to sit in my armchair and pedal with almost no effort as the machine works on electricity! Even though I have only used the Orbitrek MX for a relatively short amount of time my legs are beginning to feel stronger. I have no doubt that if I use this equipment regularly my leg strength will continue to improve and likewise my mobility.
I definitely recommend the Orbitrek MX for anyone who finds manual equipment difficult if not impossible to use. It could change your life.
I can’t walk far because of arthritis and this has exercised my leg muscles and has even strengthened my legs to walk further. Highly recommend and fun, use it while I’m watching TV.
This gadget is exactly what I needed: I’m a stroke victim and have severe lack of strength in my left leg, so I find it difficult to walk or exercise properly.This is so easy and comfortable to use and the preset excercises are perfect for me . Highly recommend.
Very easy to use, easy to move to where you feel comfortable to use.
Purchased for my wife who’s legs are painful at night. Has been using for about a month, and says they are a lot better, so positive. Seems sturdy enough. Very simple to operate.
he exerzier seems stromg and is well made its easy to use .i am using it for my leg that i damaged some time ago getting tangled up on a cable in garden i have tried masargers and infared have not done very much but this machine seems to be working and strenthening my leg so i am plesed with i
Really good it helps so well with your mobility. I use it for just 10 mins a day. I have multiple sclerosis and A 10 mins work out is enough i can feel it working my muscles in ankles on thighs thanks great product.
I purchased this for my wife who has parkinsons disease and it is ideal for her ,easy to operate it gives her much needed exercise as she has difficulty walking too far , as stated it will never get you ready for a marathon but for people with mobile problems it is perfec
Bought this for my wife who has MS. Being electric powered it does all the word but still helps exercise the leg muscles.
Item does what it is designed for Delivery took over 4 weeks
I have very painful arthritis in both knees and this lets me get much needed painless exercise.
I have poor mobility due to Charcot Marie tooth. Muscle wasting genetic condition in the lower part of the body. This is perfect for me.
A quality piece of exercise equipment that is easy to use. I have hip and knee arthritis pain so was looking to find a low impact way to exercise those joints. Being very sturdy in construction, it is quite heavy for me to move around, so best put close to where you will be most likely to use it. Had seen this machine advertised on TV, but looked in Amazon and got for half the price.
Great piece of exercise equipment, which comes assembled, ready to plug in & go. Different speeds, functions & feels great. Highly recommended.
it does the job keeps the legs nice and loose
I used to own one of the original stand-up orbitreks years ago and it was amazingly sturdy and reliable. This newer and admittedly more convenient versions do not seem to uphold original reputation.
One of the wheels was attached wrong way around and squeaking so I corrected it and kept correcting number of times adding provided lubricant but the squeaking persists which is a shame because for that price (even with the discount I manage to catch it was quite a spend) and low noise assurances things like that should not happen, but then again it saddens me to say it is made in China and fuels the stereotype.
This is helping make my legs a little stronger which is what I wanted it for. Just not sure it will last, as it makes a fair few clangs and creaks as it goes round!
Absolutely love this piece of equipment. Use it daily to meet my step challenge I as doing with 3000 other people. Sturdy and very easy to use, plug in and off you go….
I have tried all sorts of exercise bike type
Equipment.
As someone with severe bilateral clubbed foot, chronic nerve and joint pain (from spine down), muscle wastage due to wheelchair use and tremors, as well as being blind? I am unable to use an exercise bike with regular pedals.
As a result I have been gaining wait.
I found already my legs are getting stronger, and it’s easy even for me to pedal (I didn’t get the electric/power assist version).
Honestly, makes doing exercise both possible and quite fun. I’d recommend
Great product and as they say it does what they say on the ti
Bought for my severely disabled wife and it’s useful for exercising whilst seated. Within two days with every pedal stroke it started making a noise. Seemed the wheel under the pedal was not running true so had to find a sweet spot where it stopped the noise. Problem is that there is too much play in the pedal mounting so every so often it starts again. When running normally it’s pretty quiet and can be used while watching TV but when it starts making the noise it’s really distracting. So I guess you just have to hope you get a more solid version.
I have mobility issues with my legs and I feel this will help
This is the best since sliced bread I am 76 poor circulation this has done wonders really helped tone my legs it’s a wow from me
Everything I wanted from a powered pedal exerciser, sturdy and no assembly required, it worked straight out of the box. A little expensive, but if it lasts it will worth the extra cost. Very pleased so far.
Love this product as so easy to use. Great for when the weather is bad and you don’t want to go for a walk. Not sure how to take the caps of the side to tighten it up as don’t want to force and break them that’s my only Concern.
No assembly required. Great that I can watch TV, crochet & exercise at the same time.
My husband has walking difficulties after having two strokes, and it is helping so much to keep his leg muscles exercised as we can’t manage to get out for walks.
It is quite a large item and needs a socket nearby.
Just plug in and go, love the preset programs, really easy to use. Is assisted so good if you have bad knees like I have, no need to pedal just place your feet on and off it goes.
It could do with and ex-long lead as most people do not have plugs ever ware in there house.
As i am disable i have found this is starting to help my blood flow and i have notice i have more movement in my legs than i have had in 30 years.
thank you
Mark
I like it because the programme lasts a max of 30 mins it has different speeds and settings I would recommend it for anyone especially over the winter months when we can’t get ou
I’ve suffered with swollen feet and stiffness for the past 2 and a bit years. Not ever 1week after using .. no swelling no stiffness.
Hip hip hurray!!!!!
It works right out of the box, after plugging it in.
We are finding this excercise machine very easy to use and hopefully we will find it to be of benefit for our circulation problems.
Now part of foot exercise every day. Results should enable walking a lot easier in future.
Very happy with my Orbitrek MX, and hopefully as time goes on, aches and discomfort in both legs will become less.
I’ve been using this stepper for just 5 days and am very happy with it. It comes ready to use; so setup/build is not required and it’s straightforward to operate. I use it regularly throughout the day when sat – reading, watching television or simply relaxing. I’m already experiencing the benefits. I easily do over 10,000 steps a day with this machine. Highly recommended.
This product seems to be an ideal solution for excersise for my wife who has limited mobility. It arrived promptly ( 24 hours), is well made and well packed. At this stage l am impressed with its overall performance, but time will tell. The machine doing the work is a great incentive to excercise .regularly, particularly with my wife’s condition. It is compact and the programing is simple to understand and operate.
Very easy to use, great variety of programmes to follow
This is an excellent product. It is very easy to use and, really good value for money.
It’s very heavy and I had to lift it awkwardly to plug in the lead because I couldn’t find it at first. Once I conquered that problem, it worked well for me.
Had surgery on my foot/ankle and it has helped with the recovery and movement.
Would have liked to have been able to increase its speed another few levels or use manually to get a little more out the product.
Very easy to use.
Great machine , I am a wheelchair user and find it very helpful to keep the circulation moving in my lower limbs.
Bought this product as easy exercise for my husband who has some mobility problems resulting from polio as a child. The fact that it exercises the legs and feet while sitting down is a big plus. He likes it – and I use it as well. It feels very good for circulation. Another plus is being able to read or watch television while exercising. As we’ve only had it for a week, it remains to be seen how durable it is but it feels well constructed but portable at the same time. The programmes beginning with slow speeds, gradually increasing, then slowing down towards the end appear to be well planned.
