- Then buy a NordicTrack. I'm not aware of any decent stair climbers (or
- treadmills for that matter) that are in the <$1000 range. The mechanics
- that are required to get a good, solid, fluid motion in a stair climber
- cost a lot more money than is required in a NordicTrack or exercise bike.
-
- However, if you are determined to buy a stair climber, I'd suggest buying
- from a store that will let you rent one first so you can try it out (or
- rent one and then try and buy it somewhere else).
