What do we like:
- it folds near the foot plates so it takes much less space on the floor when unused
- It is rated for commercial in addition home use which, hopefully, means that it is built to last
- It's partially fan based which means a nice cooling breeze

What we do NOT like:
- Foot plates are squeaky when under use
