I have had both knees and hips replaced. I think if the strides were a bit longer it would be easier but overall I have no problem using it.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I am really happy I bought this machine. I wanted a way to not be sedentary all day since I work at a desk 8 hours daily on weekdays. The machine fits under my work desk in my office. It's a little tight under there but not so inconvenient to make it a deal breaker. The benefits I've gained are worth it. I have found that I burn anywhere from 500 to 1000 calories a day, depending on how long I use it. I did not buy this for weight loss purposes, rather to improve my health.
This was a gift from a friend about three years ago. I have used it every day since then usually for 40 minutes and almost 11 miles. My only problem is one of the wheels has developed a "divot" on one side and I need replacements.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this to use under my desk at work. We were having a walking/fitness contest and I realized right away that the only way for me to make the steps I needed daily was to add something I could do at work. I wasn't sure it would work under my desk, but it fits fine and I can use it without hitting my knees (I am 5'5") no matter what type of shoes I am wearing. I wasn't sure my desk chair would roll close enough to it for me to reach my keyboard, but that turned out to be no problem as long as I make sure the chair wheels are straddle it. I found out that it improves my poster because I have to sit up straighter to be comforter. When it arrived the counter did not work so I had to call customer service. The call went to a live person (surprise!) and she immediately said she would send me a new part. The part arrived in two days and I was able to install it myself. I put the equipment together myself, too, although the box was heavy. So I have been using it every day. I try to always get in 10,000 steps. I love that you can reset the counter and it holds your number even when you walk away and come back. You can set the tension which I also find helpful. If I don't want to break a sweat I set it low and use it to keep my legs moving (anything is better than nothing, right?). That works fine. I really love everything about it. Let's not forget that the price was excellent for the quality. So the contest is over (yes, I did make my steps every day!) and I am still using it. It is a "gadget" that I really use. I highly recommend it.
I have been using my E1000 for over a year now and love it! It has helped improve my fitness level, health stats and over-all mood. I use it daily with my standing desk at work and now more and more staff are purchasing it for themselves.
Replaced my set on big sit on bike of 5 years Now I am in my arm chair watching TV using my Stamina E1000. Find that I can exasize much longer withthe Stamina then with my old bike which was 5 times the size .
