Question Stair Stepper questions

My friend has one of these

in her living room and she exercises on it while she watches tv. (Not this exact one, but it's a similar device)

I just read an article that says you can use it while you're checking your email, etc. I would assume that means sitting down? Would I be able to use this during working hours? I know it wouldn't have the same effects as doing it while standing, but would it have any effect at all? Would it harm my knees? Other joints? I just want to know if it's too good to be true.

I have a mini stepper. You definitely have to be standing to use one.

That is what I thought but who checks email standing up?

This is the Dr they cited in the article

Also here is another device.

This one specifically states it can be used while sitting, but my question is still am I going to injure myself?
