Is this simplistic? Can I stand on it &amp; get my weight, or does it provide lots of other stuff like BMI, &amp; I have to enter my height?

You stand on it and get your weight. It does not calculate BMI, heart rate, your odds of winning the lottery, etc.

You might need to look for a heavier rollater which will be geared to your weight and height. This rollater is really for short people. I'm sure med-line have the rollater for you!

The one I have does NOT measure/display BMI which is strange because one of the things it asks for is the your height.The manual does not say anything about BMI- http://www.balanceliving.co/images/BalanceLivingPrecisionLife-TrackBodyAnalysisScaleManual.pdf

I weighed 168 when I started and I didn't have any problems with it wobbling. However... It is very compact and I'm sure will feel more wobbly than a large gym quality machine. My husband is over 200 pound and he has tested it...but not really used it. He says it is worthless for him because it is not difficult and you cant get a wide range of motion. For me it works and I've lost 30 pounds watching calories and using this for 20 minutes to an hour several times a week. It feels like running in place but easier on my joints. The handle bar helps you get your balance...but is not really sturdy. The base does not wobble though.

You can do it but it does take a bit of "muscle". I'm 5'7", 130 lbs and pretty fit. I use a 9 volt air mattress pump to start it and finish it off with the hand pump to get to pressure. Probably takes me 10 minutes total. I definitely need to put my body weight into the last couple minutes. Totally worth it though!

Hi, N. Brown! I actually ordered mine from JC Penney, since I got a good price on it by way of an advertising error on their part... Either way, I only got it last night, and didn't find it too difficult to assemble just going by the sheet instructions. It IS quite heavy weight in construction, which I definitely count as a plus. The one thing that I can see that, so far, hasn't been mentioned in the reviews is, if you're on the heavier side (I'm 210 lbs at 5'5" tall, and wide through the hips) it doesn't SEEM particularly roomy when you're on the machine. I DID have a great time exercising on it last night after assembling it, though! If you love elliptical machines, as I do (they were my only motivation for going to the gym, and every time I went, I had to wait at least 20 minutes to get on one, so I cancelled my membership... Now I've got my own, dagnabbit! ;) ), you should really like this machine. I don't know if they're as squeaky over time as the other reviews state, but I'd assume that they are. Also, I live in a single bedroom apartment, and don't have a lot of room left over to leave this standing up. The main problem? I'd planned on sliding it under my futon when I'm not using it, but everything but the handles will fit - the handles just sit too high up to fit underneath it. It IS a heavy piece, as I said before, so a bit unwieldy, but the wheels on both the bottom of the rear frame, and the foot pedal pieces, help for maneuvering it. If you're not big on exercise, as I am not unless it's fun for me, but love cross trainer and elliptical machines, then I'd suggest you get this, if it's not more than you want to spend. It does take a little initial exercise to figure out your rhythm, but once you get going, it's GREAT! I woke up this morning eager to get back on it and go, and I haven't felt that way about exercise in YEARS, if ever!

It is adjustable for height and someone would have to be enormously obese to not be able to use it. I use it frequently and it seems to help my lower back.

I do, though I don't know that it's really made for that. It's high enough off the ground so that it wouldn't be good if you were fairly short or if you had bad knees. For me, the bench works okay for step-ups. I don't share the other reviewer's concern about stability; though the bench is tall, it's not too narrow (at least for me).

Yeah, this going to be too short too. Wish I could tell you different. I'm 6' and there's no way I could use it for that. Sit down option only and honestly I wish it was higher in this mode. Good luck.

Definitely not. This will put you up to an additional 1-2 feet in height (based on a conservative guess, as I am in the office and not near my elliptical)

No, it's not and it might be hard to use by someone who is taller than average. I am 5'3' and find it high enough for someone taller to use, but not a lot taller.
1559612
I'm 6ft, it's not fun to move, but manageable. I imagine it doesn't matter how tall you are. It might even be easier for a shorter person. It's pretty heavy and yes the support stand is what is the problem area when trying to move it. Nevertheless, I wouldn't consider this a reason to not buy this machine or to buy a competitor. This is a good machine and it's worth working through the minor movement hurdles.

It might be a stretch. I'm 5'10", sometimes I wear heels, but this puts me right at 6" and I find my positioning, especially wrist and keyboard, aren't as comfortable as standing flat foot. You could always stack it on another platform on your desk, but at that point you might just want to build yourself a custom one. That aside, I've been standing since the start of the year and I love it!

It is so far for mine. They jumped way too easy over the shorter ones, but I'm sure it won't take them too long to figure out this tall one. It's much taller than I imagined too. I'm 5'7'' and it hits me at my waist or a little higher. I'm very satisfied with it.

Your height is not a problem. There is no pedals, you are going to strap your feet into the straps so any person of any size will not have any problems. It is a great machine for the money!

I'm definitely not skinny but I don't run on it either. For me it's very stable while walking fast. I have it sitting on a pad I bought at Walmart so it does not damage my wood floor. That may also help.

I just push the air out by hand. If you lean on it, you can use your body weight very effectively. I just went and looked at the instructions, and that's what they recommend, as well.
