I want to thank everyone for watching, and would really appreciate it if you could please click the thumbs up and write a quick comment below! It helps the algorithm rank and suggest the video, which in turn helps the channel do well! Thanks in advance!
The Mostly Mike sHOW Thanks Mike! I have been thinking seriously about buying a Cubii Jr., but I didn’t know how “real” people (not paid reviewers) felt about it. And, thanks so much for pointing out the main difference between the Pro and the Jr. Cubii’s! In my research that is what I found, too. So, I have a question. 😊 Okay, you put your mom’s Cubii on the front porch for her, but has your mom or you used it inside of the house? I have wood floors where I will be using it, and I was hoping you could tell me if this things slides all around when someone is using it? I really appreciate any info you can share with me. Thanks!! 😁
Hi RacinGIRL! Thanks for watching! My mom used hers on many different surfaces indoors and out, and she never said anything about it moving around. The resistance isn't really that much, and it weighs over 20 pounds. They do include the mat, and although I mentioned about the yucky substance that I experienced on that one of my mom's, I believe that it would help if you did have issues with it sliding. I don't think that it would move around though. I hope that this helps!
The Mostly Mike sHOW Mike, you are the BEST! I truly DO appreciate that you took the time to answer my questions!! Oh! One more question! Have you ever seen the Jr on sale? And if so, where? Thanks again, Mike!😁
I appreciate your appreciation! I try to answer all messages, as long as I can keep up with the volume, and I'm not very famous yet, lol. There's Amazon price tracker apps that can tell you the lowest price that it was in the past year, and you can set notifications to alert you when it gets to that price again. I think that the app that I had was called "Traktor". You can save the search in eBay for prices too.
HAHAHHAHAHAH lmfao, I'm from Brazil, i know usa has lots of pranks cuz u guys spend lots more on random stuff. I own xiaomi in face chinese thingy for cleaning my face, soon 1 year I never had to charge it and I use it once or twice a day. Some products can be excellent but u gotta know wut ur doing, I paid 12 bloody usd free ship on mine. I have smth similar to this but to stand up, bought in Brazil but I think the brand is us or uk, It's good to watch movies but I need whole workout set plus real professional threadmill to keep in check cuz my metabolism is slow from a lifetime starving. But it's nice rn cuz I can't keep going outside anyway.
May 20, 2022. I just bought a Cubii Jr. a week ago and started using it right away. Did 1000 strides on my first try at resistance #5 and LOVE IT! On my 3rd day, my tummy is getting flatter, my knees and other aches & pains are disappearing and my metabolism is guickly getting back on track. As for assembly, I’m 60 years old and took me 2 minutes, so easy! I LOVE MY CUBII! BEST INVESTMENT EVER (although it actually cheap at $180 only).
Thanks for watching! I'm glad that you like yours. My mom is still using hers almost every day for two years since I made this video. She's 82 and said that it helps with her mobility and joint pain.
Thanks for sharing your encouraging results! I just bought one and it will be here next week. I hope it is easier to use than my Magnetrainer cycle which I've had for many years. Cycling while sitting in a chair continues to aggravate my chronic hip flexor pain because it makes my knees come too far up past my hips.
Thanks for watching Dee. It's been well over two years since I got this one for my mom, and she still uses it at 82. She has some bone density issues, which makes it more risky to go out for walks to get her exercise. With the Cubii, she can keep her legs moving while watching TV or sitting on the porch. I hope that you enjoy yours.
I have a Quibii Jr going on for six months now. I started using it and my legs used to seem stiff as far as motion. Now I can easily step up in my son's truck where I used to could not. It may not be a big calorie burner but it helps with blood circulation in the legs. I have even felt more alert as well.
Thanks for watching Islandgurl. I agree. My mom still uses hers going on two years and still likes it. She says that it helped with her range of motion as well.
Thanks for this! It was the most comprehensive “real customer” review I could find. All of the others were just “unboxing.” Appreciated your sense of humor and love for your Mother as well.
I just received my Cubii JR1, it was relatively easy to put together and setup. I am thinking that using the Cubii while sitting in a recliner rocker is not the ideal chair to sit in. Anybody else notice this ‘odd’ feeling, or am I not using this correctly? The other Mike
Hi Mike. I will have to ask my mom and get back to you. She still uses hers almost every day. I should do a two year follow up with her thoughts, although she wouldn't want to be in the video, I could report her insight in a quick video. I think that she uses a regular chair like you would sit at the kitchen table with, or a patio/porch chair that doesn't rock. I hope that this helps.
Comprehensive review. I’m probably close to your mother’s age and it was good to see someone her age use it. Thanks for the explanation, and the humor.
Thanks for watching Linda! My mom likes hers, and uses it just about every day. There were cheaper, similar alternatives, but she wanted to get the original, and she is glad that she did.
Bought this unit Feb, 2020. Got it a week before lockdown. I am 76 and husband is 78. We have used this every day since receiving it. My left knee used to ache from arthritis. At first my knee was sore but I just kept at it. In a few weeks they didn't ache anymore. We love it and are so glad we got it. Never knew the pandemic was coming and keeping us inside without any exercise. We got the mat too, but never had any issues with smell or stickiness. We live in Canada and I think we have stricter Covid rules. Good review. Thanks.
Thanks for watching Carrol! Stories like yours make my day! Glad to hear that the Cubii helped you out. My mom is 81 and still uses hers. My mom and I both believe that if we bought one of these for my dad to use when he was still with us, that he would still be alive today. I believe that any activity that keeps you moving helps tremendously for arthritis and circulation issues. I really appreciate your comment! They really help my channel out.
Thanks for your lighthearted and well done video! I just ordered one and had it delivered to my soon-to-be 90 year-old mother. I had it sent directly to her house because my brother lives there as well. She's had it for a week now, but hasn't used it because she's waiting for my brother to put it together. Thinking it might be complicated, I googled "how to" and found this video, which I will send to my brother. Seems very easy to put together...and they provide the one tool! Thanks for the video-now wI know how to proceed :-)
Thanks Teri! I'm glad you enjoyed and hope it's helpful! Be sure to tell your brother that if he has any questions, don't hesitate to ask in the comments. I will try to answer as soon as I can. Happy holidays to you and your family!
Thanks for watching and commenting Jay! They seem to be great for keeping moving and being easy on the joints. My mom still uses hers a lot. Best wishes, and I hope that it helps and she gets all healed up.
I bought two Cubii Jrs for Christmas: one for me and one for my daughter. I used hers at her apartment, which has a wood-look vinyl flooring. I have a tile floor. (I didn't receive a no-slip pad with either one, but I'm not worried about it, especially after seeing yours!) I did have a little trouble with sliding when using the one at her apartment, and on my tile floor, it does slide a little. I solved the problem by using a piece of that shelf/drawer liner that you can get at almost any grocery store. I just put a leftover piece I had under the front of the Cubii, and I have no more trouble with sliding. Cheap and easy fix, and I LOVE my Cubii! I'm doing Physical Therapy on my knee, and it has really helped strengthen the muscles around it, and it's an easy way to exercise when the weather keeps me from walking. I'm glad it's helping your mom, too!
Great to hear! I can almost guarantee that the no-slip shelf liner is better than the mat that was included with my mom's. Aside from the yucky oozy stuff, it didn't stick to the floor as well as it did the bag that it came in.
Am considering getting one due to the fact that I sit most of the day every day because I have mobility issues, thank you this review has helped me feel good about ordering one if I can ever afford it
Thanks for watching Kathy! My mom had considered getting one of the cheaper knockoffs that are on Amazon, but she opted to get the original. The knockoffs seem to have mixed reviews. She has used hers for over a year now and uses it just about every day. She said that she had some hip pains before using it, and they seemed to go away after using it. She used to walk every day, but as she got older, she was worried about falling and getting hurt. This allowed her to sit on the porch and peddle.
I have the Cubii jr. My son saw it at Costco and I ran over and bought it. It’s great to have when sitting around just doing nothing. I use it everyday and even at 2am when I can’t sleep😁 So quite
This was so helpful,I was actually helping my grandmother repackage it to return it and I just couldn't figure out it how the pieces fit on so I watched you unbox it. Thanks!
Hi Maxine! I seriously think that your dad would like it if he's willing to use it. My mom really likes hers and uses it almost every day since she got it last June. I don't get paid by Cubii to promote these, but I do get a commission from Amazon if someone clicks the link and buys anything from there within 24 hours after clicking the link. I only used some snippets from the Cubii tv advertisement.
That's great! My mom still uses hers while she is watching tv. It's been several months, and she is really glad that she bought it. Happy holidays and thanks for watching!
I believe anykind of movement can change your life for the better. For people who do alot of sitting I can see this Cubii would work to get your heart rate up. Your Mom is a Sweetheart. Bless her Now more Healthy Heart. ❤
Thanks Theresa! Yes, she doesn't have any trouble moving it. I made that video when I ordered it for her from Amazon in June of 2020. I spoke with her last night, and she said that she used it just about every day since, and does at least a thousand on the counter each time. I'm assuming that it's counting revolutions. She originally wanted it because she was having hip pains, and she said that they went away after she started using it. In my opinion, it's a great low impact way to keep moving while seated. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the review. Getting one of these for my brother who lost a small toe and part of his foot due to his sugar and since he can’t walk because he needs hip surgery that they can’t do because he’s not healing, I have to get him something low impact so he can burn calories doing something. I did wonder about the resistance level, but it seems like it’s fine for what he’s going to be using it for. Excellent review, and your mom gets an A+ for her great sense of humor! Thanks!!
Even listening in 1.75 playback, since I have to race through all these reviews towards a final decision on what to buy, I snickered throughout your video. Have a great Summer '22
Ha ha! Glad you enjoyed. I'll be sure to let my mom know that she has another fan! She still uses hers almost every day since I posted this video over a year ago.
I had one given to me so I was very willing to try it. Folks? It works well. However I went gang busters off and on for up to an hour at a time and got legs cramps (however that was my fault for going over board). It is easy and I used it while watching my favorite shows so before I know it? I have been at it a half hour. So to also hear it burns about 150 calories per hour? Really love it!!
I found this for $15 at a hospice thrift. I felt due to its weight it would be perfect for my mother. It won't move around as she pedals. After seeing this review I'm really excited about my purchase. She is already in love with it. Thanks for a great video both entertaining & informative 🎶
Thanks for watching and commenting Lee. I try to add some humor to all of my videos. 15 bucks is a heck of a deal. My mom still uses hers after 2 years. I hope your mother gets lots of use and enjoyment from hers too.
@@themostlymikeshow Thanks Mike. I appreciate your reply. I think she will benefit greatly. You got a new sub. Now to find that fine lookin screwdriver 😄👍
Thanks for watching and the kind words. My mom is 84 and still uses hers.. Not quite as much as originally, but a few times a week. It's holding up well and she said that her joints hurt if she stops using it. I hope that yours serves you well!
My grandmother tried calling to order one of these off the tv in Australia. They were offering a trial by paying postage only, would not give her the actual unit price. Thanks for the review
@@reemclaughlin4260 I actually do get a commission from amazon if you click the link in the description, even if it's not a Cubii. It could be from any purchase. I get a commission for everything bought within 24 hours after clicking the link in the description. I didn't qualify to be an Amazon affiliate until a few months after I made this video so I didn't mention it in there. Thanks!
This is great! Than you so much for explaining those chair stopper things...I could NOT figure out what they were for initially...and I really didn't like the cubii because it felt awkward beneath my desk and kept making my chair slide back, so it was so awkward to use. Soon as I used the stoppers it worked so much better! Funny video too! Good job! Your mom is precious! :)
Thanks so much for the kind words S V! I'm glad that the video helped you out. I enjoy making them and try to add humor into every one of them wherever I can. These compliments, thumbs up, and subscribers are what keeps me going! Thanks!
Ok, you’re my favorite reviewer so far for this product I am thinking about purchasing! Informative but you had me laughing too! So important these days especially. If I do buy one I don’t think I will be using that mat either! They could definitely improve on that!!! So glad your Mom likes it ( the elliptical I mean) not the mat!
What a great video ty.. my mom didn't like it. She said it hurt her legs lol 😆 I told her she building muscle but said no ty so now I'm going to use it
@@claudia111love4 That's cool that you're using it. Glad that you like it. When I ordered my mom's for her, we were going to try a cheaper version, which I saw on Amazon and Ebay. She said that she's glad that she got the original. She does use it almost every day. She likes using it more when she can do it on the front porch. She does like to walk, but hiking in the woods is a little much for her.
@@themostlymikeshow aww I just said hiking because that's what she said on the video lol but I'm glad she uses it. It gives strength 💪 💕 i saw the video of your puppy.. I cried so much and I remembered all my dogs. I have chinchillas now but they're also older there videos of them on my channel🤗
@@claudia111love4 Coco is certainly my baby girl. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about her. She had a nice long life compared to the typical lifespan of her breed, but they are never around long enough. I will check out your chinchilla video!
You're obviously a mountain biker, so what do you think of the resistance. I.e. is highest level like a gentle incline or equivalent to say a 1 in 3 on the highest gear on you MTB?
Hi Craig! I hope that I understood your question. I am assuming that you wanted to know on a scale of one to three on the resistance in comparison to mountain biking? To me, the resistance set to maximum is not really very extreme. Not sure what gear that I would compare it to.
@@themostlymikeshow I meant compared to a 1 in 3 incline hill. Say 1 yard up for 3 yards along I think you use a percentage for the incline, so say 30percent. But you've answered the question, effectively on the highest setting it's not really taxing (whereas I understand some competitors - e.g. Deskcycle - apparently are).
@@craigk621 I understand what you mean now. I would say that it's nothing close to that kind of resistance. It's a good range for my mom, but she's 81. Thanks for watching!
Hi Kamini. Thanks for watching. My mother has been using hers almost every day for over a year now and still likes it. Here is the Amazon link. amzn.to/3sKHyyw Please let me know if you have any questions.
The only difference that I know of is that with the Cubii Pro, you can connect it to your phone with Bluetooth. My mom only uses her phone to make calls, so that is a feature that she would never use. If that is the only difference, I am not sure if a hundred dollar difference would be worth it. I hope that this helps, Angel. Thanks for watching!
Thanks! My mom loves hers. She has been using it almost every day since she got it about 3 weeks ago. It is not a real intense workout, but it keeps the legs moving.
I have a manual treadmill, because of my balance, (I am 89 )I was worried about falling. That’s why, due to lockdown my daughter got e one. It will be unboxed today as I said in my other comment. Looking forward to the excersise! Will keep you posted on how I like it!! 🏴🇬🇧🇨🇦👍🏻
My wife had one of these a few years ago at her desk job. Not sure if we still have it or not. I'm pretty sure it wasn't a Cubbii, and pretty sure she didn't pay anywhere near that much!
I never received a packing slip nor thank you note with signatures. I bought the Cubii Jr1 with dumb and mat. Some Sellers are trying to make more profits by selling the mat separately. The barbells are essential for a better work out. Old knees can't handle the increased tension. Leaving the tension on 2, I add upper body exercises to the workout and add the dumbbells. Made in China is another slap to the North American market. Also, the cost is very expensive in Canada.
Sorry to hear about their shortcomings Janet. I wish that things like this would support North American jobs as you said. I hope that it works out for you despite all of those things.
You didn't mention anything about power. Does it have a power cable? Rechargeable? The Cubii Pro is rechargeable but they say nothing about the Cubii Jr.
Thanks for watching! There's no power cable, and no batteries required. I actually had to think about it, and even checked Amazon's questions on this, and there's no mention of needing to replace a battery. My mom really likes hers! I hope that this helps!
Bottom Line: Mike: You are an absolute legend 💯 Watched this with some FaM as we unboxed our Cubii. We all thoroughly enjoyed your presentation video 😅. Fantastic humour, fantastic commentary, solid vibe in your delivery, and your Mama is well cute. God Bless 😇 P.S. First time
Thanks so much for the kind compliments! I'm glad to hear that you all enjoyed the video. I do my best to add that kind of humor in all of my videos. I will be sure to pass the compliment to my mom as well!
Thanks for watching Some Dude. It certainly burns calories, but I don't know how many it can burn in an hour. I got this for my mom, mainly to improve circulation by keeping moving even while seated. Sorry that I don't have a better answer.
Does it actually work under a desk? I had an "under desk exercise bike" years ago. I couldn't use it under my desk without my knees hitting the underside of the desk.
Awww... So cute to here her little voice and satisfaction. I'm looking to get my Mother one (she's 74, and needs something to help with her legs). Do you think it's worth $249 though? That's what I saw it listed for, but haven't checked other places besides Amazon. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching, Goose! My mom is going to be 81 in December. I wouldn't be saying that if she had internet to read this comment! Lol. She is happy with it, despite the price. There were cheaper options on Amazon, but after reading reviews to her, she opted for the original. I think that there's a 30 day satisfaction guarantee on them. I appreciate the kind words.
I don't buy anything without thoroughly researching and reading LOTS of customer reviews. I was buying two Cubii Jrs (one for my daughter, one for me), and I wanted to make sure I got what I paid for. The reviews I read on the cheaper (not Cubii) versions were not good. People complained about them squeaking and making lots of noise and dragging when they pedaled, and they returned them for those reasons. One person even said they couldn't talk on the phone while using a non-Cubii brand because it was so noisy. Mine and my daughter's are whisper quiet and pedal very smoothly. We both think it's worth every penny, but I do wish I had found it cheaper at my Sam's or Costco like someone mentioned below. That being said, I'd buy it again in a heartbeat!
Hi Julia. I did a little research on this, because my mom has never used hers standing up. I In the Amazon questions someone had mentioned that there's a sticker on it that says that it is not designed to be used while standing. There were several answers, and they all said that it cannot be used standing. I hope that this helps.
I was just joking in the video, because most of my videos are about mountain biking. My mom has used it almost every day since I made that video over a year ago. It's definitely not a hard workout, but my mom is 81 years old, and she was having some hip pain prior to getting the Cubii. She says that the hip pain had left after using it for the first few days, probably from just getting some movement in her legs and improving circulation. I hope that this helps.
@@themostlymikeshow glad it helps for your mum! yeh im guessing its just for older people and people recovering from certain breaks/surgeries to help em keep some slight movement in their feet/ankles/legs. thanks for the quick response!
Hi Sally! Thanks for watching! I don't have any medical qualifications to say, but it doesn't seem to be hard on the knees, especially if the exercise is done at a slow to moderate pace. It is a really smooth movement. I hope that this helps.
Thanks for watching, Sandra! I only heard it run on my mom's porch, which is outside, so in a quiet office environment, I am not sure that it could be heard or not. Sorry I couldn't be of better help.
I'd like to see you use a personal computer while using this device. Maybe it's just me, but I don't see how it's possible to type on a computer keyboard while using this.
I'm not sure, lol. Neither me or my mom has tried using it at a desk, but if your knees clear underneath, I really don't see why it wouldn't work. Thanks for watching!
I use it while typing on my laptop at my kitchen table. It takes a little getting used to, and I had to work on the coordination of using both, but it's doable!
Thanks! I just looked in the play store, and there's an app available. I am not sure if the Cubii Junior model will connect with the app, so you may want to consider this. My mom doesn't use apps or anything like that. I hope that this helps. Happy holidays!
There's an app, but it's for the more expensive version. It costs about $100 more to get one that syncs with the app. The Cubii Jr works just as well, especially if someone older is using it and doesn't use apps, like Mike's mom, and just wants to pedal and work their legs and isn't that worried about keeping track of all of the other stuff. Happy pedaling!
@@bonniegarcia9103 Thanks for the advice Bonnie! My mom has had hers for over 7 months now, and still uses it. The reason that she wanted a Cubii was that she thought that it would help out with some hip pains that she was having. She said that almost immediately it helped with the pain by just using it to keep moving.
I don't think that it is loud. It seems to move very smooth and quietly. I am basing that on my mom's porch though. You might be able to hear it in a really quiet office environment, but I still don't think that it would be that noticeable.
That's incredible David! Congratulations! My mom still uses hers a year later. She uses hers to improve circulation in her feet and legs. Thanks for watching!
Hi Mic! Actually, it used to say "this is not a paid advertisement" when I made the video, but a few months later, I qualified for the Amazon affiliate marketing program. RUclips doesn't let me edit the videos without completely taking them down and losing all of the view credits, but will let me cut out parts of the videos. So I just cut the word "not" out of that sentence. All that Amazon requires is that I indicate on my home channel page that I qualify for commissions on qualified purchases. How it works is that I put the Amazon link in the description box below the video, and if someone clicks that link and purchases anything within 24 hours, even if it's not the item itself, I get a commission, which varies item to item. It's not much, but it helps build the channel with better equipment. I invest everything that I earn from affiliate marketing to upgrading equipment for the channel. Sorry about the long winded explanation. Do you own a Cubii?
I have had one for about 10 days but may be returning it. After using it for about 7 days I noticed the pain had returned to my bones in my ankles. I had been pain free for a few years taking meds but got off them as they may be causing liver problems I had hope that this machine would help my leg and ankle problems but they have gotten worse. Dr said I needed exercise but I think he is wrong. Walking has always brought this problem on. Also I noticed while using this machine that the front of my legs would get so tired and pained after just about 5 minutes of using it. At least I do have a 30 day return guarantee.
Sorry to hear. The 30 day return guarantee is a good thing, because it's a lot of money to pay if something doesn't work for you. My mom still uses hers every day on low resistance, but to just keep her legs moving while she sits on the porch or watches television. I hope that you have good luck finding something that works good for you.
Thanks for watching Mark! I will have to ask my mom if she does anything like that while she is using hers. I'm pretty sure that she usually just uses it while watching tv or just hanging out.
I had suggested this little machine for my mother. That is up until I saw the price tag. $230!?!?!?!? For this!?!?!? Am I the only one who thinks this is a tad bit expensive for this little device?
Thanks for watching kmb. I agree that it seems like a lot for all that it is. It's been almost a year and a half since this video was posted, and it seems to be holding up pretty well. She uses it almost every day because she can't get out for walks especially when it's cold out. She had some hip and knee pain prior to using the Cubii, and she believes that keeping the legs moving with something like this took the pain away. She likes hers. I believe that there's some cheaper look alike machines out there, but my mom didn't want to chance it.
Mike, The words on your video were "bitter truth revealed" which made me think "oh, oh. There is something wrong." But there was nothing wrong, except for a silly mat which doesn't matter and your dirty sneakers. Sorry, but I really didn't like watching you put them on and use them on this brand new machine. It would be nice if you delete this "bitter" word from your title. Otherwise, thank you for the review.
Thanks for watching and providing input! I appreciate hearing about what people like and don't like on my videos. I think that RUclips used to let people go back and change things in the videos, but they changed policies about editing after uploading . Now they just let you chop stuff out, and blur faces. I originally wasn't going to make this video. My intentions were to just put the Cubii together for my mom, and then I decided last minute to make a video after my mom suggested it. I learned something on every video did I put out, and regret certain things that I put in them. But this stuff is noted, and applied to future videos.
Really? My mom uses hers every day for the past year, and she hasn't had any problems. Have you tried to contact Cubii customer service? I would imagine that there's a number somewhere.
I want to thank everyone for watching, and would really appreciate it if you could please click the thumbs up and write a quick comment below! It helps the algorithm rank and suggest the video, which in turn helps the channel do well! Thanks in advance!
The Mostly Mike sHOW Thanks Mike! I have been thinking seriously about buying a Cubii Jr., but I didn’t know how “real” people (not paid reviewers) felt about it. And, thanks so much for pointing out the main difference between the Pro and the Jr. Cubii’s! In my research that is what I found, too. So, I have a question. 😊 Okay, you put your mom’s Cubii on the front porch for her, but has your mom or you used it inside of the house? I have wood floors where I will be using it, and I was hoping you could tell me if this things slides all around when someone is using it? I really appreciate any info you can share with me. Thanks!! 😁
Hi RacinGIRL! Thanks for watching! My mom used hers on many different surfaces indoors and out, and she never said anything about it moving around. The resistance isn't really that much, and it weighs over 20 pounds. They do include the mat, and although I mentioned about the yucky substance that I experienced on that one of my mom's, I believe that it would help if you did have issues with it sliding. I don't think that it would move around though. I hope that this helps!
The Mostly Mike sHOW Mike, you are the BEST! I truly DO appreciate that you took the time to answer my questions!! Oh! One more question! Have you ever seen the Jr on sale? And if so, where? Thanks again, Mike!😁
I appreciate your appreciation! I try to answer all messages, as long as I can keep up with the volume, and I'm not very famous yet, lol. There's Amazon price tracker apps that can tell you the lowest price that it was in the past year, and you can set notifications to alert you when it gets to that price again. I think that the app that I had was called "Traktor". You can save the search in eBay for prices too.
HAHAHHAHAHAH lmfao, I'm from Brazil, i know usa has lots of pranks cuz u guys spend lots more on random stuff. I own xiaomi in face chinese thingy for cleaning my face, soon 1 year I never had to charge it and I use it once or twice a day. Some products can be excellent but u gotta know wut ur doing, I paid 12 bloody usd free ship on mine. I have smth similar to this but to stand up, bought in Brazil but I think the brand is us or uk, It's good to watch movies but I need whole workout set plus real professional threadmill to keep in check cuz my metabolism is slow from a lifetime starving. But it's nice rn cuz I can't keep going outside anyway.
May 20, 2022. I just bought a Cubii Jr. a week ago and started using it right away. Did 1000 strides on my first try at resistance #5 and LOVE IT! On my 3rd day, my tummy is getting flatter, my knees and other aches & pains are disappearing and my metabolism is guickly getting back on track. As for assembly, I’m 60 years old and took me 2 minutes, so easy! I LOVE MY CUBII! BEST INVESTMENT EVER (although it actually cheap at $180 only).
Thanks for watching! I'm glad that you like yours. My mom is still using hers almost every day for two years since I made this video. She's 82 and said that it helps with her mobility and joint pain.
@@themostlymikeshow Best regards to your Mom! I’m sure she’s a very nice, fine lady! And I must say you are also a good son for looking after her 👍
Thank you so much for the kind words.
Thanks for sharing your encouraging results! I just bought one and it will be here next week. I hope it is easier to use than my Magnetrainer cycle which I've had for many years. Cycling while sitting in a chair continues to aggravate my chronic hip flexor pain
because it makes my knees come too far up past my hips.
Thanks for watching Dee. It's been well over two years since I got this one for my mom, and she still uses it at 82. She has some bone density issues, which makes it more risky to go out for walks to get her exercise. With the Cubii, she can keep her legs moving while watching TV or sitting on the porch. I hope that you enjoy yours.
I have a Quibii Jr going on for six months now. I started using it and my legs used to seem stiff as far as motion. Now I can easily step up in my son's truck where I used to could not. It may not be a big calorie burner but it helps with blood circulation in the legs. I have even felt more alert as well.
Thanks for watching Islandgurl. I agree. My mom still uses hers going on two years and still likes it. She says that it helped with her range of motion as well.
Thanks for this! It was the most comprehensive “real customer” review I could find. All of the others were just “unboxing.” Appreciated your sense of humor and love for your Mother as well.
Glad that you enjoyed! She has been using it almost every day for the past year, and still likes it. Thanks for watching!
I just received my Cubii JR1, it was relatively easy to put together and setup.
I am thinking that using the Cubii while sitting in a recliner rocker is not the ideal chair to sit in.
Anybody else notice this ‘odd’ feeling, or am I not using this correctly?
The other Mike
Hi Mike. I will have to ask my mom and get back to you. She still uses hers almost every day. I should do a two year follow up with her thoughts, although she wouldn't want to be in the video, I could report her insight in a quick video. I think that she uses a regular chair like you would sit at the kitchen table with, or a patio/porch chair that doesn't rock. I hope that this helps.
Thanks for watching!
Comprehensive review. I’m probably close to your mother’s age and it was good to see someone her age use it. Thanks for the explanation, and the humor.
Thanks for watching Linda! My mom likes hers, and uses it just about every day. There were cheaper, similar alternatives, but she wanted to get the original, and she is glad that she did.
Bought this unit Feb, 2020. Got it a week before lockdown. I am 76 and husband is 78. We have used this every day since receiving it. My left knee used to ache from arthritis. At first my knee was sore but I just kept at it. In a few weeks they didn't ache anymore. We love it and are so glad we got it.
Never knew the pandemic was coming and keeping us inside without any exercise. We got the mat too, but never had any issues with smell or stickiness.
We live in Canada and I think we have stricter Covid rules.
Good review. Thanks.
Thanks for watching Carrol! Stories like yours make my day! Glad to hear that the Cubii helped you out. My mom is 81 and still uses hers. My mom and I both believe that if we bought one of these for my dad to use when he was still with us, that he would still be alive today. I believe that any activity that keeps you moving helps tremendously for arthritis and circulation issues. I really appreciate your comment! They really help my channel out.
How is this while sitting in a rocking recliner? Want to get one for my mother-in-law where she sits in a recliner with the lift down of course
@@crackermantim I'm pretty sure that my mom uses hers in a rocker recliner, but I will have to ask her to make sure.
Thanks for explaining how to assemble the steps..it's so simple now. Love how you love your mom, too...very touching.
Thanks for watching and the kind words. My mom is incredible! Glad you enjoyed.
Your Mom has a good sense of humor! It was good to see her use it too. Thanks for review.
Thanks for watching Boun! She likes hers and uses it often!
Thanks for your lighthearted and well done video! I just ordered one and had it delivered to my soon-to-be 90 year-old mother. I had it sent directly to her house because my brother lives there as well. She's had it for a week now, but hasn't used it because she's waiting for my brother to put it together. Thinking it might be complicated, I googled "how to" and found this video, which I will send to my brother. Seems very easy to put together...and they provide the one tool! Thanks for the video-now wI know how to proceed :-)
Thanks Teri! I'm glad you enjoyed and hope it's helpful! Be sure to tell your brother that if he has any questions, don't hesitate to ask in the comments. I will try to answer as soon as I can. Happy holidays to you and your family!
Just what I needed to see. I have an 88 year old, broken hip, mother I want this for. Looks likes just what she needs. Thanks!!
Thanks for watching and commenting Jay! They seem to be great for keeping moving and being easy on the joints. My mom still uses hers a lot. Best wishes, and I hope that it helps and she gets all healed up.
I bought two Cubii Jrs for Christmas: one for me and one for my daughter. I used hers at her apartment, which has a wood-look vinyl flooring. I have a tile floor. (I didn't receive a no-slip pad with either one, but I'm not worried about it, especially after seeing yours!) I did have a little trouble with sliding when using the one at her apartment, and on my tile floor, it does slide a little. I solved the problem by using a piece of that shelf/drawer liner that you can get at almost any grocery store. I just put a leftover piece I had under the front of the Cubii, and I have no more trouble with sliding. Cheap and easy fix, and I LOVE my Cubii! I'm doing Physical Therapy on my knee, and it has really helped strengthen the muscles around it, and it's an easy way to exercise when the weather keeps me from walking. I'm glad it's helping your mom, too!
Great to hear! I can almost guarantee that the no-slip shelf liner is better than the mat that was included with my mom's. Aside from the yucky oozy stuff, it didn't stick to the floor as well as it did the bag that it came in.
I bought the $350 model and i love it. I use it for an hour or two everyday while i am working or watching a movie.
That's great Ultimate Keyboard Warrior. My mom is still using hers almost every day and loves it! Thanks for watching and the kind words!
Am considering getting one due to the fact that I sit most of the day every day because I have mobility issues, thank you this review has helped me feel good about ordering one if I can ever afford it
Thanks for watching Kathy! My mom had considered getting one of the cheaper knockoffs that are on Amazon, but she opted to get the original. The knockoffs seem to have mixed reviews. She has used hers for over a year now and uses it just about every day. She said that she had some hip pains before using it, and they seemed to go away after using it. She used to walk every day, but as she got older, she was worried about falling and getting hurt. This allowed her to sit on the porch and peddle.
I have the Cubii jr. My son saw it at Costco and I ran over and bought it. It’s great to have when sitting around just doing nothing. I use it everyday and even at 2am when I can’t sleep😁 So quite
Thanks for watching Lynda! Glad you enjoyed!
This was so helpful,I was actually helping my grandmother repackage it to return it and I just couldn't figure out it how the pieces fit on so I watched you unbox it. Thanks!
Thanks for watching Brett! It makes my day to hear that my videos helped someone out!
LOL😂😂😂
Awww love your Mother! I'm gonna check this out for my mom. She's 85 and has congestive heart failure.
Thanks so much for watching, and the kind words about my mom! She really likes it, and has used it almost every day since I made this video.
My Dad has congestive heart failure as well as advanced parkinsons. I want to get one for him to use in his nursing home. How did your Mum like it?
Hi Maxine! I seriously think that your dad would like it if he's willing to use it. My mom really likes hers and uses it almost every day since she got it last June. I don't get paid by Cubii to promote these, but I do get a commission from Amazon if someone clicks the link and buys anything from there within 24 hours after clicking the link. I only used some snippets from the Cubii tv advertisement.
Sorry about the long winded response.
@@bmstewart63 She likes it but her knees hurt.
These two are hilarious. Clearly mom & son!
Thanks Sioux Anne! Do you have a Cubii?
Wow! Thanks for the quick assembly instructions.... plus you add me laugh ( and those sneakers rock)
Thanks Donna! Glad to hear that it helped you out and made you laugh! These comments really make my day!
Just got my cubii about 2 weeks ago. Love it!
That's great! My mom still uses hers while she is watching tv. It's been several months, and she is really glad that she bought it. Happy holidays and thanks for watching!
Very straightforward instructions. Excellent.
Thanks Tina! Glad that you enjoyed the video!
Thanks Mike for showing me how to put it together. Now I am going to go and try it. Take care and be safe!
No problem at all! I hope you enjoy your Cubii! Thanks for watching!
I believe anykind of movement can change your life for the better. For people who do alot of sitting I can see this Cubii would work to get your heart rate up.
Your Mom is a Sweetheart. Bless her Now more Healthy Heart. ❤
Thanks Mary! I will also pass your message on to my mom.
I was 70 this year. I’ve had mine for about three years now and love it. I use it daily. Great review!
That's great Faith! My mom is still using hers daily too. Thanks for watching and the kind words!
I saw the ad and want one but wanted to see a review first. Glad yours is a positive review. Ordering for 2.
Thanks LiteracyLabyrinth. My mom still uses hers after 2 years. I hope yours serves you as well.
thanks so much for the great review ! I was debating of purchasing this for my mom as well and now I know I should !!
And thank you so much for watching Yese! I don't think that you'll regret buying one. My mom is still using hers almost every day.
Wow cool I think I’ll buy one too my tread climber died.
Thanks for watching, Silverking!
I loved this review. Just purchased one for my Mom and was reluctant to unbox it because I dread assembling. Now I'm confident it will be easy peasy
Glad you liked! Don't hesitate to ask any questions if you do run into any issues. I will do my best to explain. Thanks for watching!
My daughter just bought me one! It will be assembled tomorrow ( hopefully)
Will post how well I like it “ Steve Boy “ LOL 👍🏻🏴🇬🇧🇨🇦🍻
Awesome! Can't wait to hear how you like it! My mom still loves hers!
Great Video Mike. Is your mom able to lift the Cubi jr and carry it?
Thanks Theresa! Yes, she doesn't have any trouble moving it. I made that video when I ordered it for her from Amazon in June of 2020. I spoke with her last night, and she said that she used it just about every day since, and does at least a thousand on the counter each time. I'm assuming that it's counting revolutions. She originally wanted it because she was having hip pains, and she said that they went away after she started using it. In my opinion, it's a great low impact way to keep moving while seated. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the review. Getting one of these for my brother who lost a small toe and part of his foot due to his sugar and since he can’t walk because he needs hip surgery that they can’t do because he’s not healing, I have to get him something low impact so he can burn calories doing something. I did wonder about the resistance level, but it seems like it’s fine for what he’s going to be using it for. Excellent review, and your mom gets an A+ for her great sense of humor!
Thanks!!
Thanks for watching and the kind words Steve! I wish your brother a speedy recovery. I'll pass the compliment on to my mom too!
Even listening in 1.75 playback, since I have to race through all these reviews towards a final decision on what to buy, I snickered throughout your video. Have a great Summer '22
Thanks Tena! Glad you got some laughs from it. I try to make most of my videos fun.
I am ready to run up the hill lol...love your mom...my dad always nag about everything I do for him...
Ha ha! Glad you enjoyed. I'll be sure to let my mom know that she has another fan! She still uses hers almost every day since I posted this video over a year ago.
I had one given to me so I was very willing to try it. Folks? It works well. However I went gang busters off and on for up to an hour at a time and got legs cramps (however that was my fault for going over board). It is easy and I used it while watching my favorite shows so before I know it? I have been at it a half hour. So to also hear it burns about 150 calories per hour? Really love it!!
That's awesome Ginger! Thanks for watching and sharing your experience.
Thank you for the clarification of what the stoppers are for. Could not figure them out for anything. Thanks again.
Thanks for watching Mudd Olivett! No problem, glad to help!
Thanks so much for the review and I love your MOM!!! I can't wait to get one of these!
Thanks for watching as well as the kind words Pazatron! I will pass the compliment on to my mom!
great review, made me laugh, was down to earth, loved it.
Thanks John! I try to throw as much humor as I can in all of my videos! My pledge to my subscribers! Lol
I found this for $15 at a hospice thrift. I felt due to its weight it would be perfect for my mother. It won't move around as she pedals. After seeing this review I'm really excited about my purchase. She is already in love with it. Thanks for a great video both entertaining & informative 🎶
Thanks for watching and commenting Lee. I try to add some humor to all of my videos. 15 bucks is a heck of a deal. My mom still uses hers after 2 years. I hope your mother gets lots of use and enjoyment from hers too.
@@themostlymikeshow Thanks Mike. I appreciate your reply. I think she will benefit greatly. You got a new sub. Now to find that fine lookin screwdriver 😄👍
Great video man, this video gave me the confidence to click the purchase button!
Thanks for watching and the kind words. My mom is 84 and still uses hers.. Not quite as much as originally, but a few times a week. It's holding up well and she said that her joints hurt if she stops using it. I hope that yours serves you well!
My grandmother tried calling to order one of these off the tv in Australia. They were offering a trial by paying postage only, would not give her the actual unit price.
Thanks for the review
Thanks for watching, Nancy! Someone commented a few days ago that she found a pretty good sale on them, but I forget where it was.
I just looked, and it was through Costco. $189 US. That's the cheapest that I have seen.
The Mostly Mike sHOW thanks for your help, we have Costco in Aus now.
Have a great day
Nice video. Quick and to the point, with a bit of side humor thrown in.

Hey,
Have you tried out the wheel holders? I would most likely use this with an Office chair. Thanks for the review.
Thanks for watching. I have not tried the wheel holders. Sorry I could not be of more help.
You have a great Mom. Thanks for the video and I just ordered my cubi yesterday.
Thanks Francine! Yes, my mom is awesome! Thanks so much for watching and the kind words.
Have been contemplating getting one of these, your video has convinced me to do so..thankyou..and of course your Mum...xx
Thanks for watching Jane! My mom still uses hers almost every day and still likes it after well over a year.
Thanks! Love your review. How loud is the sound? I work as an online psychologist and wonder If I van use it without dustracting my patients.

My bday is next month and I’m buying myself one!
That's great Ree! My mom uses hers a lot and still likes it. I hope that you like yours.
@@themostlymikeshow I told QVC that YOU should get a commission! ✌🏼🤗💖
@@reemclaughlin4260 I actually do get a commission from amazon if you click the link in the description, even if it's not a Cubii. It could be from any purchase. I get a commission for everything bought within 24 hours after clicking the link in the description. I didn't qualify to be an Amazon affiliate until a few months after I made this video so I didn't mention it in there. Thanks!
Happy early birthday!
This is great! Than you so much for explaining those chair stopper things...I could NOT figure out what they were for initially...and I really didn't like the cubii because it felt awkward beneath my desk and kept making my chair slide back, so it was so awkward to use. Soon as I used the stoppers it worked so much better! Funny video too! Good job! Your mom is precious! :)
Thanks so much for the kind words S V! I'm glad that the video helped you out. I enjoy making them and try to add humor into every one of them wherever I can. These compliments, thumbs up, and subscribers are what keeps me going! Thanks!
I just ordered one today in that same color from qvc. Ty for vid
Thanks Trudy! I hope that your Cubii brings you much enjoyment!

Ok, you’re my favorite reviewer so far for this product I am thinking about purchasing! Informative but you had me laughing too! So important these days especially. If I do buy one I don’t think I will be using that mat either! They could definitely improve on that!!! So glad your Mom likes it ( the elliptical I mean) not the mat!
Thanks Buchko! Glad that you enjoyed! She's been using hers for well over a year now and still likes it.
Thanks Mike for your insight!
No problem Ron! My mom still loves hers and uses it almost every, and it's a year and a half since I posted that video. Thanks for watching!
Great review along with the laughs! Nice legs too Mike!

What a great video ty.. my mom didn't like it. She said it hurt her legs lol 😆 I told her she building muscle but said no ty so now I'm going to use it
Thanks for the kind words, Claudia! These comments and a simple like are what keeps me making videos! How are you liking the Cubii?
@@themostlymikeshow i tried it today lol my legs feel great lol my mom gave up too quickly after a week. Goes your mom liking hers? Shes hiking now?
@@claudia111love4 That's cool that you're using it. Glad that you like it. When I ordered my mom's for her, we were going to try a cheaper version, which I saw on Amazon and Ebay. She said that she's glad that she got the original. She does use it almost every day. She likes using it more when she can do it on the front porch. She does like to walk, but hiking in the woods is a little much for her.
@@themostlymikeshow aww I just said hiking because that's what she said on the video lol but I'm glad she uses it. It gives strength 💪 💕 i saw the video of your puppy.. I cried so much and I remembered all my dogs. I have chinchillas now but they're also older there videos of them on my channel🤗
@@claudia111love4 Coco is certainly my baby girl. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about her. She had a nice long life compared to the typical lifespan of her breed, but they are never around long enough. I will check out your chinchilla video!
Excellent narration skills
Thanks Ken! It's always a work in progress. I appreciate the support!
You're obviously a mountain biker, so what do you think of the resistance. I.e. is highest level like a gentle incline or equivalent to say a 1 in 3 on the highest gear on you MTB?
Hi Craig! I hope that I understood your question. I am assuming that you wanted to know on a scale of one to three on the resistance in comparison to mountain biking? To me, the resistance set to maximum is not really very extreme. Not sure what gear that I would compare it to.
@@themostlymikeshow I meant compared to a 1 in 3 incline hill. Say 1 yard up for 3 yards along I think you use a percentage for the incline, so say 30percent.
But you've answered the question, effectively on the highest setting it's not really taxing (whereas I understand some competitors - e.g. Deskcycle - apparently are).
@@craigk621 I understand what you mean now. I would say that it's nothing close to that kind of resistance. It's a good range for my mom, but she's 81. Thanks for watching!
You don’t need to use one of these just to (recover from an Injury) it does good to your joints, hamstrings, quads and circulation.
Looks great. From where I can buy it
I need it for my father. Please send me the details. Thanks.
Hi Kamini. Thanks for watching. My mother has been using hers almost every day for over a year now and still likes it. Here is the Amazon link. amzn.to/3sKHyyw
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Would you buy a Cubii Pro? What is the difference?
The only difference that I know of is that with the Cubii Pro, you can connect it to your phone with Bluetooth. My mom only uses her phone to make calls, so that is a feature that she would never use. If that is the only difference, I am not sure if a hundred dollar difference would be worth it. I hope that this helps, Angel. Thanks for watching!
Great review. Considering one myself due to lockdown and also cos I don't have a bike to cycle.
Thanks! My mom loves hers. She has been using it almost every day since she got it about 3 weeks ago. It is not a real intense workout, but it keeps the legs moving.
I have a manual treadmill, because of my balance, (I am 89 )I was worried about falling. That’s why, due to lockdown my daughter got e one. It will be unboxed today as I said in my other comment. Looking forward to the excersise! Will keep you posted on how I like it!! 🏴🇬🇧🇨🇦👍🏻
Awesome! Hope that you like it!
Classic dry humour... Great
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed. I try to add that style of humor in all of my videos.
Loved the video, more of your style than the unit ;)
Thanks for the kind words, Paritosh! I try to do all of my videos in a similar way. I appreciate the support!
My wife had one of these a few years ago at her desk job. Not sure if we still have it or not. I'm pretty sure it wasn't a Cubbii, and pretty sure she didn't pay anywhere near that much!
They seem expensive for what they are, but my mom seems to like it. It did a number on my quads, lmao.
Just ordered mine
Thanks for watching Positive Douggie! I hope you enjoy yours as much as my mom enjoys hers. She has been using it almost every day for two years.
I never received a packing slip nor thank you note with signatures. I bought the Cubii Jr1 with dumb and mat. Some Sellers are trying to make more profits by selling the mat separately. The barbells are essential for a better work out. Old knees can't handle the increased tension. Leaving the tension on 2, I add upper body exercises to the workout and add the dumbbells.
Made in China is another slap to the North American market. Also, the cost is very expensive in Canada.
Sorry to hear about their shortcomings Janet. I wish that things like this would support North American jobs as you said. I hope that it works out for you despite all of those things.
You didn't mention anything about power. Does it have a power cable? Rechargeable? The Cubii Pro is rechargeable but they say nothing about the Cubii Jr.
Thanks for watching! There's no power cable, and no batteries required. I actually had to think about it, and even checked Amazon's questions on this, and there's no mention of needing to replace a battery. My mom really likes hers! I hope that this helps!
I want one of them.
Thanks for watching. My mom is still using hers and it's holding up well.
Bottom Line: Mike: You are an absolute legend 💯 Watched this with some FaM as we unboxed our Cubii. We all thoroughly enjoyed your presentation video 😅.
Fantastic humour, fantastic commentary, solid vibe in your delivery, and your Mama is well cute. God Bless 😇
P.S. First time
Thanks so much for the kind compliments! I'm glad to hear that you all enjoyed the video. I do my best to add that kind of humor in all of my videos. I will be sure to pass the compliment to my mom as well!
Does this product actually burn calories? If it does burn calories, how many calories does it burn in an hour?
Thanks for watching Some Dude. It certainly burns calories, but I don't know how many it can burn in an hour. I got this for my mom, mainly to improve circulation by keeping moving even while seated. Sorry that I don't have a better answer.
I love mine
Thanks for watching Barbara. Glad you like it. It's close to three years that my mom had hers, and she still uses it, and had no issues.
Loved the review!
Glad to hear that you liked! Thanks for watching!
Love your review thank you
Thanks Akasha! I'll be doing many more like this in the future!
Good for a desk job?
Thanks for watching Joseph. I would say that it's perfect for that. My mom is still using hers after 3 years, but she doesn't have a desk job.
Great review!
Thanks Tracey! Glad you enjoyed.
Does it actually work under a desk? I had an "under desk exercise bike" years ago. I couldn't use it under my desk without my knees hitting the underside of the desk.
I am not sure. I will have to check and see.
Super cool video such an interesting product

Awww... So cute to here her little voice and satisfaction.
I'm looking to get my Mother one (she's 74, and needs something to help with her legs).
Do you think it's worth $249 though?
That's what I saw it listed for, but haven't checked other places besides Amazon.
Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching, Goose! My mom is going to be 81 in December. I wouldn't be saying that if she had internet to read this comment! Lol. She is happy with it, despite the price. There were cheaper options on Amazon, but after reading reviews to her, she opted for the original. I think that there's a 30 day satisfaction guarantee on them. I appreciate the kind words.
@@themostlymikeshow
I actually found this exact one through Costco on sale for like $169 or $189
So that's cool.
@@goose7574 That's a great deal! I wish that I would have found one for that much! I hope that she likes hers as much as my mom likes her Cubii!
@@themostlymikeshow same here
I don't buy anything without thoroughly researching and reading LOTS of customer reviews. I was buying two Cubii Jrs (one for my daughter, one for me), and I wanted to make sure I got what I paid for. The reviews I read on the cheaper (not Cubii) versions were not good. People complained about them squeaking and making lots of noise and dragging when they pedaled, and they returned them for those reasons. One person even said they couldn't talk on the phone while using a non-Cubii brand because it was so noisy. Mine and my daughter's are whisper quiet and pedal very smoothly. We both think it's worth every penny, but I do wish I had found it cheaper at my Sam's or Costco like someone mentioned below. That being said, I'd buy it again in a heartbeat!
Did the cubii jr have a chemical smell too?
No Ariel, just on the mat. There may have been the usual smell that goes with new stuff packaged in a box, but nothing out of the ordinary.
Haha smelling the mat.
That "mystery oozy substance" was pretty nasty. It was sort of oily.
Can this machine be used in standing position?
Hi Julia. I did a little research on this, because my mom has never used hers standing up. I In the Amazon questions someone had mentioned that there's a sticker on it that says that it is not designed to be used while standing. There were several answers, and they all said that it cannot be used standing. I hope that this helps.
@@themostlymikeshow it does help, thank you!
No! The Warning in the box says "Use only while sitting. Do not stand on the unit."
I was hoping to have a minute to not see the pumpkin face, but besides that your review was ok.
Ha ha! It took me a minute to figure out what you meant! Thanks for watching!
does it work out your legs? looks like it just works out your feet/ankles
I was just joking in the video, because most of my videos are about mountain biking. My mom has used it almost every day since I made that video over a year ago. It's definitely not a hard workout, but my mom is 81 years old, and she was having some hip pain prior to getting the Cubii. She says that the hip pain had left after using it for the first few days, probably from just getting some movement in her legs and improving circulation. I hope that this helps.
@@themostlymikeshow glad it helps for your mum! yeh im guessing its just for older people and people recovering from certain breaks/surgeries to help em keep some slight movement in their feet/ankles/legs. thanks for the quick response!
No problem Jamie!
Wondering how hard this is on the knees if you don’t have any any knee cartilage.
Hi Sally! Thanks for watching! I don't have any medical qualifications to say, but it doesn't seem to be hard on the knees, especially if the exercise is done at a slow to moderate pace. It is a really smooth movement. I hope that this helps.
Thanks for the video! I am curious how noisy this is, because I may want to bring it to work, and don't want to drive my co-workers crazy.
Thanks for watching, Sandra! I only heard it run on my mom's porch, which is outside, so in a quiet office environment, I am not sure that it could be heard or not. Sorry I couldn't be of better help.
I'd like to see you use a personal computer while using this device. Maybe it's just me, but I don't see how it's possible to type on a computer keyboard while using this.
I'm not sure, lol. Neither me or my mom has tried using it at a desk, but if your knees clear underneath, I really don't see why it wouldn't work. Thanks for watching!
I use it while typing on my laptop at my kitchen table. It takes a little getting used to, and I had to work on the coordination of using both, but it's doable!
You sweet Mama!! 🎁❤❤🌹🌹🌹
Thanks for the kind words, Rose! My mom is the best! Happy holidays!
Great review !
Does it have an app?
Thanks! I just looked in the play store, and there's an app available. I am not sure if the Cubii Junior model will connect with the app, so you may want to consider this. My mom doesn't use apps or anything like that. I hope that this helps. Happy holidays!
There's an app, but it's for the more expensive version. It costs about $100 more to get one that syncs with the app. The Cubii Jr works just as well, especially if someone older is using it and doesn't use apps, like Mike's mom, and just wants to pedal and work their legs and isn't that worried about keeping track of all of the other stuff. Happy pedaling!
@@bonniegarcia9103 Thanks for the advice Bonnie! My mom has had hers for over 7 months now, and still uses it. The reason that she wanted a Cubii was that she thought that it would help out with some hip pains that she was having. She said that almost immediately it helped with the pain by just using it to keep moving.
Is it loud?
I don't think that it is loud. It seems to move very smooth and quietly. I am basing that on my mom's porch though. You might be able to hear it in a really quiet office environment, but I still don't think that it would be that noticeable.
Mr. Trump does not approve of your purchase. Lol. Great review and dig your sense of humor.
Ha ha! Glad you like my sense of humor John! Check out some of my other videos! I try to add that kind of stuff to all of them. Enjoy!
I lost 126 pounds using the Cubii
That's incredible David! Congratulations! My mom still uses hers a year later. She uses hers to improve circulation in her feet and legs. Thanks for watching!
Stop the cap this thing barely burns any calories
@@odre6860it depends if your consistency I'm pretty sure plus diet
At 0:31 you say “this is a paid advertisement “. Is that correct? You got paid for a positive review?
Hi Mic! Actually, it used to say "this is not a paid advertisement" when I made the video, but a few months later, I qualified for the Amazon affiliate marketing program. RUclips doesn't let me edit the videos without completely taking them down and losing all of the view credits, but will let me cut out parts of the videos. So I just cut the word "not" out of that sentence. All that Amazon requires is that I indicate on my home channel page that I qualify for commissions on qualified purchases. How it works is that I put the Amazon link in the description box below the video, and if someone clicks that link and purchases anything within 24 hours, even if it's not the item itself, I get a commission, which varies item to item. It's not much, but it helps build the channel with better equipment. I invest everything that I earn from affiliate marketing to upgrading equipment for the channel. Sorry about the long winded explanation. Do you own a Cubii?
I have had one for about 10 days but may be returning it. After using it for about 7 days I noticed the pain had returned to my bones in my ankles. I had been pain free for a few years taking meds but got off them as they may be causing liver problems I had hope that this machine would help my leg and ankle problems but they have gotten worse. Dr said I needed exercise but I think he is wrong. Walking has always brought this problem on. Also I noticed while using this machine that the front of my legs would get so tired and pained after just about 5 minutes of using it. At least I do have a 30 day return guarantee.
Sorry to hear. The 30 day return guarantee is a good thing, because it's a lot of money to pay if something doesn't work for you. My mom still uses hers every day on low resistance, but to just keep her legs moving while she sits on the porch or watches television. I hope that you have good luck finding something that works good for you.
Legs bigger 🤣 moms a comedian 🤣
You're a good son😚!
Thanks Chris! My mom is really awesome though!
This piece of equipment is likely fine but using it while doing puzzles, knitting, or reading would be annoying.
Thanks for watching Mark! I will have to ask my mom if she does anything like that while she is using hers. I'm pretty sure that she usually just uses it while watching tv or just hanging out.
My grandpa uses this. He’s 98
That's awesome Benjamin! Great to hear! Thanks for watching!
I had suggested this little machine for my mother. That is up until I saw the price tag. $230!?!?!?!? For this!?!?!? Am I the only one who thinks this is a tad bit expensive for this little device?
Thanks for watching kmb. I agree that it seems like a lot for all that it is. It's been almost a year and a half since this video was posted, and it seems to be holding up pretty well. She uses it almost every day because she can't get out for walks especially when it's cold out. She had some hip and knee pain prior to using the Cubii, and she believes that keeping the legs moving with something like this took the pain away. She likes hers. I believe that there's some cheaper look alike machines out there, but my mom didn't want to chance it.
Mike, The words on your video were "bitter truth revealed" which made me think "oh, oh. There is something wrong." But there was nothing wrong, except for a silly mat which doesn't matter and your dirty sneakers. Sorry, but I really didn't like watching you put them on and use them on this brand new machine. It would be nice if you delete this "bitter" word from your title. Otherwise, thank you for the review.
Thanks for watching and providing input! I appreciate hearing about what people like and don't like on my videos. I think that RUclips used to let people go back and change things in the videos, but they changed policies about editing after uploading . Now they just let you chop stuff out, and blur faces. I originally wasn't going to make this video. My intentions were to just put the Cubii together for my mom, and then I decided last minute to make a video after my mom suggested it. I learned something on every video did I put out, and regret certain things that I put in them. But this stuff is noted, and applied to future videos.
Mine squeaks horribly!
Really? My mom uses hers every day for the past year, and she hasn't had any problems. Have you tried to contact Cubii customer service? I would imagine that there's a number somewhere.
Boy that ought to put your testosterone levels through the roof 😂
Lol. Yes Eddie, words can't describe the feeling! Thanks for watching and dropping a comment! It helps!
