The analysis

Its footprint is 48 by 50 cm, which is a corner rather than a room, and it carries 160 kg of user weight, which is well above what compact cardio usually declares.

The resistance is hydraulic, and in a flat that matters more than any number on the box. Impact equipment is heard downstairs; a hydraulic stepper is not. If you train at odd hours with neighbours below, that is the deciding feature.

The trade is that it does not fold. The half square metre it stands on is permanent: occupied on the days you train and on the days you do not. That is the honest cost of a machine you step on rather than one you pick up.

Hydraulic cylinders have a known behaviour worth expecting: they warm up over a long session and the resistance softens. It is physics, not a fault, but it shapes what the machine is for.

In favour

  • 160 kg of user weight, well above most compact cardio
  • 48 x 50 cm of floor: a corner, not a room
  • Hydraulic resistance, so it is quiet for the flat below

Against

  • It does not fold: what you see is what it occupies, always
  • Hydraulic cylinders warm up and fade on long sessions
  • The app and Bluetooth add cost you may never use

Best for: A flat with neighbours below, where the cardio has to be quiet and stay in one corner.
