Summary: Air Climber: Thumbs down
Comment: The pluses:
The Air Climber is lightweight, gives you a good workout, easy on the joints, 2 wide black platforms , and the power cords are a great addition for toning and increasing the workout. The diet plan info/DVD workout is a good bonus. The swishing sound (air traveling from bellow to the other) may annoy some folks, but after after a while, it did not bother me. The adjustable tension is also a nice feature.
A HUGE minus for me:
This product is NOT durable (quality issues) and that is why I gave it 2 stars. I enjoyed the product and after 30-35 minutes, I broke into a sweat. I returned the Air Climber once, and the factory gave me a new one. After extended normal use (several times per week), the bellows begin to leak air quickly, the black pedals remained unmovable, and stuck on the red platform.
I think this product was designed for folks who are light weight and will use it occasionally. Like many advertised fitness products, this company is banking on folks who will abandon the product and store in the garage. When the warranty runs out, it won't be worth repair costs if it breaks. I hope the parts are least recyclable.
At the time I weighed under 200 lbs. I am one of those folks who actually uses all exercise products I buy. I went through TWO Air climbers in a 4 month period and both leaked air/deflated and broke. Not Good.
My recommendations: buy one of those solid steppers, such as "the Step" with 3 tiers. The step is build better, stronger, and mine has lasted for several years and still going!
If you really want one, then buy it under the assumption that it may last you for the duration of the winter season (for example), when most folks would rather not exercise in the outside in the cold or travel to a gym in bad weather.
I realize nothing lasts forever, you get what you pay for, however, this air climber is a big thumbs down for not being durable even in a short period of time!

Summary: Deceptively Good Workout!
Comment: I submitted a review for this same company's Lateral Thigh Trainer, which I loved BUT it fell apart (twice; two entirely different LTT machines) due to cheap materials used inside it. Therefore, I was intrigued--and very skeptical--about this "Air Climber", but too intriged to pass it up. I now own one.
To the reviewers that point out that the Air Climber looks cheap and lightweight: that is exactly its purpose. I too was very unimpressed and disappointed when I opened it and took it out. At first glance, it honestly looks more like a toddler's toy than an adult's reliable workout machine. It is so light that it can be carried with one hand.
Having been accustomed to the Lateral Thigh Trainer's fairly intense workout, I tried the Air Climber and my first impression was "This is too easy...I don't feel like I'm doing real exercise or burning any calories!" In fact, I was on the verge of returning it.
Then, the next day, I could barely walk! It turned out that the Air Climber offers a sneakily effective workout--you feel like you aren't doing anything because it's so low-impact, but quite the contrary is true! I've used mine every day for two weeks, and the results are noticeable and impressive.
Obviously the company decided to tackle the horrible screeching/breaking parts issue of their Lateral Thigh Trainer by making this, which has no moving parts to break or squeak, just heavy-duty bellows that make you feel as if you're bouncing on a mattress.
It does make a sound--a slight whoosh-whoosh-whoosh--but anyone who's put up with the shriek of the LTT or other climbers will laugh it off!
The resistance bands for arm workouts that are included are unfortunately of the lowest quality. From previous experience, I knew to disregard these immediately, and use dumbells instead (ALL elastic exerciser bands fray and break over time).
So, in conclusion...I was really ready to not like the Air Climber, and even return it, but it won me over. It is still going strong, and is a set part of my afternoon exercise routine. Get one if you are interested in a fun, low-impact, and effective workout for your lower body.

Summary: Cheaply constructed
Comment: I have read the instructions several times and I think out of box, my stepper is broken.
I received it and it was already inflated - I was told it would be deflated. So I hit the button to inflate because you're supposed to do that before every use. I got on, after 4 steps it was flat. I got off, reinflated got back on, same results.
There is no toll-free number or email provided on the website. After reading reviews, I found the stepper not staying inflated is a huge problem that many people have.

Summary: A very good product
Comment: I really like this product alot. I purchased it because I do not always have time to go to the gym and the air climber provides a good workout when used along with the exercise cd.
