MOMODA Folding Vertical Climber Machine

The MOMODA Md-st100 is a folding stair stepper — a vertical climber — listed at £61.96, the lowest price of any machine in this guide. It sits at number 7 for a different reason from the steppers above it: not because of a spectacular number, but because its numbers are small and stay small. Maximum weight capacity is stated as 120 kg. That is around 40 kg below the 160 kg claim on the Sunny Health & Fitness twist stepper, 39 kg below the RELIFE's 159 kg, and less than half of the 660 lb (299 kg) figure claimed for the YOLEO. It is a modest ceiling, but it is the one the listing actually states — and unlike the HXD-ERGO, whose title says 160 kg while its own bullet says 150 kg, nothing here contradicts it.

One number in the listing does not add up. The page reports 95 customer ratings, yet its own star breakdown lists 15 one-star, 4 two-star, 6 three-star, 15 four-star and 60 five-star ratings — 100 in total. The 4.0 out of 5 average is calculated from that breakdown, not from the 95 figure, and five of those 100 ratings sit at two stars or below. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing for the MOMODA Md-st100; we have not assembled, used or tested the machine.
