Do the arm bands come off? It seems like the straps being attached near the feet would interfere with standing on the machine.

Patty, the arm bands are not attached to the machine when you take it out of the box. The straps can be attached to the machine by screws which you could easily be unscrewed if you feel that the straps get in your way. Hope this helps.

yes the band comes off and the nut holding the band comes off too. I took my off andnever use the band. I use weights instead. I love it and my clients love it too.

Yes, the bands are removable. Love the machine. I have two, one at home and one in the lake house.

Yes, the foot rests can be removed. We take them off frequently. As far as the arm rests, we think they can be removed but we have never had to do this. I wasn't able tp locat the literature to check for you.

I am not sure. These small Sanitaire machine are wonderfully powerful and would be a bit heavy to wear on one's should - so I have never tried attaching a strap. I use my machines in a veterinary clinic and also in a house with 3 dogs and 1 cat. Along with my Dyson Animal for carpets - the Sanitaires are great. I have had several over the last 10 or more years.

No I have a relatively thin caseolgy case which I have to take off when using the armband. However the case really doesn't feel necessary when using this armband.

I had to shorten mine; they are about 5 arm lengths total. It shows standing in the picture, but you need to be sitting in a chair. I have used mine daily since Feb with no problems.

You can take off the foot rests for sure (I have them off mine). As for the arm rests I don't know. Sorry I can't help you with that.

Wow what a interesting question, let me just say that after put this shoulder strap on there is another clipped strap that secures it futher that goes under the arm, plus you can adjust the strap with sliding clamps to prevent it in a standing position from moving, or swinging...but by leaning over to hug your child this may negate that. So after considering this for you, I'd have to say that I doubt that very few straps would be that secure. Hope this helps. Ps. I love this strap.

If you don't like the arms, they can be removed. Mom uses hers with the arms because it is easier for her to get out of. She needs the arms to push off of to get out of the chair.

Yes-Mine came with an arm band and headphones. I've been using it while running for months now with no problems. Hope this helps.

I do not know the answer to these two questions and have often wondered myself why the bands are there. Fortunately mine have never broken and I have just left them alone. Sorry I could not be more helpful.

It can be. It all depends on what you do with the machine. When you let go of the handles, you can swing your arms as if you are walking or jogging. Your legs can be straight or slightly bent. I have a variety of different exercizes that I do. I just keep moving; and before I know it, I've gone 30 minutes plus.

You have to remove the arm and put it in beside the machine. I have the same machine and that is what I purchased this for, works for me.

The arms can be removed. You have to put the arms on when you assemble it. They can come off easily.

Yes. My wife did not want the arms, so I just left them off. They come unassembled so its a matter of choice if you put them on...John

The arms are attached using a few screws. If you dont want the arms, you dont have to screw them on. They can also be unscrewed anytime you want after they are put on.

Yes, the whole metal piece that supports the foot rest at the bottom comes off. My mother doesn't use her foot rests either. They both come off real easy - there is a clip that you push and they pop off. Good luck.

You can take the phone out of the case without removing the case from the armband. I haven't tried doing so while the band is actually fastened to my arm, and I haven't had cause to do so. In theory, it's possible.
