Star Trac Pro-Stepper Stairmaster

[19Yzerman19]

This stepper machine is professional gym quality. It's battery-powered, and has just had the battery replaced, so it works like new. Fantastic machine, has a number of programs for varying intensity. Also, heart rate sensors on the arms.

I find stairmasters like this to be a much better alternative to a treadmill, as it takes up less floor space than just about any other type of machine, plus it's low impact: it doesn't beat up your joints (especially knees) the way a treadmill does. As a bonus, it does wonders for your calves and hamstrings, so you're not just doing cardio. Lots of high points.

This particular model has an arm to hook up a monitor or TV, but this has not been tested by me - I just used the machine itself.

The dimensions are 46"L x 39"W x 82"H. Very solidly built and also very heavy. Will require two people to move, as well as a decent size truck. At retail, something like this would cost upwards of $3000, and they're not the easiest to find second hand, so this is a steal if you need a heavy-duty piece of cardio equipment. Asking $750.

can it be plugged in to use w/o the battery?

[19Yzerman19]

No... but why would you want to? It works basically forever because it charges as you use it. There's simply no reason to plug it in. The original battery lasted for years - and when it did die, the replacement cost $20 and took 5 minutes to put in.
