It’s fairly silent and easy to operate. Only having had it for a few days, I’m unsure how effective it is for what it claims to do. I struggle with neuropathy and joint pain and find it difficult to stand on for more than 5 minutes. I’d recommend sitting on a chair first with feet on it, but I don’t have enough space to put a chair next to it.
We are very pleased with our purchase. As beginners, it’s a no brainer. After just one week, we are both feeling better and seeing results. You get to choose your style and your speed. We highly recommend it.
