**PROS**
1) The product already came assembled. The only thing that was detached was the resistance/tension knob. That was no big deal at all. The Instructions manual looks like it comes in three languages, English, Spanish, and maybe French. However, there's not a lot to read though. It just shows labeling of parts of the machine, how to unlock and lock the legs, how to work the tension knob and then it goes into detail what the machine operation records.Yes, there is a battery but you need a screwdriver to get it open.
2) It's easy to use/operate. The legs can fold inward for easier storage. I just slipped mines under my futon when I'm done.
3) The peddler space is pretty spacey. So, if you have big feet (size 8 for me), you should fit it perfectly. I did leg workout without any shoes or socks and I didn't really feel any discomfort.
4) It has a nice height. I was doing this on my futon, which my futon is about a foot in height off the floor, and I was still able to workout out comfortably by watching TV.
5) If you stop working out for whatever reason, like you have to answer the phone, the machine will pause your progress such as calorie count, number of repetitions, and time. It won't reset unless you make it reset. Even if you get back to it hours later, it still has your last progress. So, it looks like it won't reset without your permission
**CONS**
1) The ONLY con I had so far was that I wish the bridge that holds the legs could be adjusted more. So, if you have a small table you wanted to set this on, it may not work. It is possible to have one of the legs not lock to make it narrower, but then as you're doing the arm workout, it might move and became imbalanced. With the legs spread out like you see in the picture, it is slightly over 18 1/2 inches wide. So, make sure your desk or table can handle that.
**Neutral**
Yes, it does overheat, it even has the warning sticker on there about it. I was using this for about 25 minutes and noticed the metal parts near the peddles were warm. But that was never a big deal to me because I used it for nearly 60 minutes and it's not like it was ready to scorch something. It was just noticeable that it was hot. Now the metal part near the black machine are the hottest parts.
**My Progress**
I'm 27 years old
163 pounds
5'4 height
Some reviews said that this was meant for people that could do minimum workout. But as I did it, I could really feel the burn in my arms, mainly in my right arm for whatever reason, but that's because I was using it in a chair while sitting on the futon. That might not have been the best thing. But it definitely got to my arms.
It is a really good workout plan while watching TV for leg workout. I cozied up with the blanket over me and my legs and I just peddled all through the TV shows and did not realize I ended up burning 511 calories, basically that tasty Wendy's burger I had just a few hours ago was now burned off.

This was all done in one night. And it looks like if you do 700 counts, you burn 100 calories. I just stopped here and there to record progress. I love it. I am very pleased with the machine. Good price as well. I just hope it lasts awhile. If you have any questions feel free to ask. I am a heavy loyal Amazon customers. So, I log in everyday to check progress.
Update
2/10/14
I was playing a video game and burned 600 calories with 4200 spins in 70 minutes. I found out you can also reverse the peddling. It really does help time fly by. It still gets warm as you go, but it's not really hot.
3/2/14
For some reason, the monitor at one point stopped counting my progress. I just happened to look down and it was stuck on the same numbers even as I kept peddling. I tried resetting, but nothing worked. So, I left it alone. I pulled it out another day and it happened again. So, I figured it must have been the battery, but I haven't even used it that much for the battery to already be drained. I snapped off the monitor but couldn't really understand anything. I tried putting it back on but it's mysteriously tough to secure it back on. Now, it's just hanging. Also, every time I tighten the tension, I notice that it just resets by itself. So, it's like you can't really workout with a difficult tension setting for long.
3/14/14
I finally was able to snap the monitor inside again. But it took much effort and I really could have hurt myself. It pinched one of my fingers and it hurt a lot. I had to start by sticking the bottom part in first, and then leaning the rest into it. Then, I had to mash down or apply pressure. Ridiculous.
I like it because I am able to keep exercising while my knee heals, it feels like am doing a worthwhile exercise (you can definitely break a sweat using this), and when I'm done it folds up very quickly and easily. You can pedal backwards (working on different muscles) and the counter counts both directions (some don't). I have back problems and my one big concern was that an arm bike would be jarring for my back, or would require bending forward in a way that my back wouldn't like - I am happy to say that using this arm bike has not bothered my back at all - there is no over-reaching or jarring motion. I can settle in to my desk chair with my back fully supported and pedal away. If I tighten the tension knob a lot, making it harder to pedal it does stress my back a bit, so I only tighten it some and focus on pedaling longer instead of harder. Even after I no longer need the crutches I will probably keep using this for my arms, it's easy to do and it's a good way to increase arm strength without compromising my back.
Why isn't this bike perfect? At first, right out of the box I couldn't get the display to work. I opened up the panel thinking maybe it had a bad battery, but the battery had just slipped out a bit in shipping. I re-centered it, and the display works perfectly now. The feet aren't super grippy on my slick wood desk, it slides a bit, but it's no big deal. The metal part of the pedals gets pretty warm after pedaling for 30 minutes or so, but I just don't touch the metal bits when I'm done. My hands are already a bit tender from the crutches, so the pedals are a bit too hard for comfort during a 30 minute session - I just added some wrist sweatbands to pad them a bit.
Word of advice - if you have a Fitbit, be sure you take it off before using the arm bike or it will seriously mess up your steps for the day. Ooops! I have a sticky note on my arm bike so I remember to take it off before starting. You can log your arm bike exercise as a Custom Activity on your Fitbit dashboard, and the readout on this arm bike gives you time and calories so you have everything you need to properly log it. I checked around on the web for calories used on an arm bike and this bike's count seems to come in at the correct range.

This item is awful. I can only use it for a few minutes before it gets red hot. It can not even be put away until it has cooled down. I have slightly burnt myself a couple of times because I tried to put it away before it had cooled down enough.
