Cubii Total Body Under Desk Elliptical Bike with Built-in Upper Body Resistance Bands | Seated Exercise Machine – Arms + Legs Workout for Seniors & All Ages, 12 Resistance Levels, LCD Display

Great machine so far
Bought this for my mom’s 80th birthday to build her strength up. She has been sick and in annd out of the hospital for the last few months. This is day 2 and she really seems to like it! She has used the arms and pedals. I am really hoping this gets her back to some normalcy. Highly recommend!

Good, but design needs improvement
I bit the bullet to spend the money on this model (Total Body+) and not having any regrets yet. I have Long Covid, so getting any kind of exercise while standing has been a challenge and while I won’t get into all that, I have to say that this Cubii has made it easier for me to exercise while just sitting at my desk at work so that I don’t have to do it all at once. I peddle until I get tired and stop. Then when I feel like I can do more, I do some more until I’m tired again. It’s really a great solution for those who have issues with mobility. It is also quiet, except for a weird click on the right side that feels like something isn’t adjusted right. I tried to tighten the peddle, but that didn’t remedy it. It doesn’t happen when I peddle backwards and it’s not constant, but it’s also not a deal breaker as it’s not super loud. With this said, there are some design flaws that I would change in future models.1. The ring that holds the chair wheel is too close. You have to push the unit back far enough under the desk to be ergonomically comfortable to work, but then it’s hard to get in and out of the chair, especially if it has armrests2. The resistance arm pulls are in a spot where you have to pull the unit out from under the desk to not drag across the edge of the desktop. Also, the price difference to have the pulls is a bit excessive. It was the reason I spent the extra money on this model, but I don’t think it was necessarily worth the price difference.3. The cloth grab handle is on the same side as the wheels. It would be easier to transport if it were on the other side so that you can use the wheels to move it instead of having to pick it up. It’s not super heavy, but it is awkward. They would have to have a way for the peddles to lock in place when picking it up though because they would flip over carrying it the other way… likely why they put the handle on that side. Alternatively, they could put the wheels on the other side, but then it would be hard to move under the desk. Something to think about4. This is an expensive piece of equipment and should have a way to lock it. I bought a bike lock and ran it through the cloth handle, but that can easily be cut. It should have something in it so that you can use a computer lock to attach it to the desk.5. This one is the most obvious… why does it need to be recharged electronically when it could be charged by the peddling? 🤦‍♀️ They could have added both as ways to charge it so as to avoid having to crawl under the desk to plug it in, especially because it plugs into the unit at the back, not the front.Overall, I’m happy with it, but for the price, it could use a lot of design improvements.
