Vertical Climber Exercise Machine, Doufit Folding Cardio Full Body Workout Climbing Stair Stepper for Home Gym with LCD Monitor

Ordered and got the machine sooner than expected. Yay.Setting it up was simple. If you've put stuff together before or like puzzles you'll have no issues. BUT if you have not put together an IKEA set before please get a puzzle-loving friend to help you, you'll be done in 20 minutes. The machine is well made, all parts are provided including grease to lubricate the above shoulder arm square rods (highly recommend you lube a lot).I've had it for about 4 days and each day I've done 60-second sets at least 3 times a day or more if I can fit it in. It feels really good to get that much done. I know most of the other reviews are from more fit people...I'll get to that level at some point but for now, the most I can do is a minute of the workout and I'm proud of it. :)It's a high anaerobic cardio set. I start sweating in those 60 seconds on my neck. After one week I hope to go up to 2 minutes or 120 seconds but it's a tough workout for someone who's not done it in over 3 years I might have to slow it down to 30-second increases. I remember this machine being my favorite machines at the gym because it's all about your pace, form, and using the whole body breathing.Regardless of goals, I do feel my quads, forearms, some abs, biceps, and pectoral muscle groups getting a workout and getting a bit sore. All the good kind of sore.I hope to keep up with this and provide a follow-up review in a week or two.At the time of review, this machine is out of stock but I hope they make more. It's a good machine with a handy timer to track reps, time, calorie burn, total reps, etc.Good health to you all!-Buttercups

The media could not be loaded. The climber was great for 1 week. However, the right side started to slide rough. I noticed the mechanism on the right step started rubbing against the metal. From my photo, you can see the rubber flakes. If you watch the video, you can hear the harsh rubbing.Updated: Contacted customer with problem. They sent me replacement roller to install. However, same problem continued with new part. I let them know the problem persisted. Doufit sent me a completely new machine. This machine seems to work better than the previous one. It glides much more smoothly.

The media could not be loaded. Really awesome piece of equipment for those who get bored or are tired of traditional cardio exercises like running or walking. When you use it you can really feel many of your muscles working. Biceps, back, glutes, core, etc.While the resistance isn’t adjustable, the height of the handles is adjustable and I’ve found that putting them at their max height provides more of a challenge. You can of course try doing some HIIT or circuit training when using this to get more of a burn.Setting up the machine was really easy. I had it out of the box and fully set up in about 15 minutes. If you’ve ever set up anything before, it’s pretty easy to see where everything goes, even without the instructions.The package includes everything you need, including the tools, and even includes grease for the moving parts which I’d definitely recommend using since it makes the climb mechanism move so much more smoothly. I also love that you can fold it up and store it in a closet. There are wheels on the stand which makes moving it around a breeze.

I wanted something that mimicked climbing a ladder on my off days. This piece of equipment does that but there's zero resistance options. So I need to work my legs before using this in order to feel any benefit. Otherwise I'd have to mindlessly just use it for a very long time with too many to count reps in order to get the desired results.It isn't high quality, so I wouldn't recommend too many reps for an ongoing basis. It is a light weight very low impact, possibly great for beginners that just need to move.I do like how adjustable the top section is (for your arms) as I'm really tall. I wish it was heavier duty and adjustable resistance. It is compact and doesn't take up much space.

I really don’t write reviews, but I have to commend Doufit for great customer service and taking care of their customers. My order came in and it was a few days before I was able to assemble. Upon opening box and checking parts list before assembly I find that the right pedal is missing. The instruction manual has an email for Doufit, so I send an email explaining the missing pedal. Doufit customer service replied and in no time the missing pedal was shipped FedEx. I tracked the pedal and it was supposed to have been delivered to my home. NO! I reached out to Doufit again; explained that the pedal was not delivered to my home. After a few emails Doufit said they would send another pedal, but use UPS this time. I received the missing pedal and it is assembled. Fairly easy assembly, instruction manual was one of the best I’ve seen/used. I’ve used the climber several times...a workout! Thank you Doufit for such good customer service and really caring!

This is a low quality machine that is very difficult to use and makes a very loud clicking sound every time you go up and down, it's very annoying and regret purchasing this item. I do not recommend.

Enjoying it so far, don’t really even use the display,just use my Apple watch to track workouts so can’t speak to display.All I know is I feel very good when I get off of this machine, quite a runners high!!Great if you want to combine strength with cardio and spend less time doing it (it can be intense)
