Our take

Commercial-grade revolving stairmill for home; very expensive and needs a high ceiling.

Revolving stairmill built for home at a lower price than commercial units.

What it’s for

Stair Climbers & Steppers: Stair climbers and steppers train the glutes, quads and calves with a vertical climbing motion. Revolving stairmills feel like real stairs but are large and expensive; vertical climbers and mini steppers fit small homes.
