Is a mini stepper worth bothering with?

I need to up my exercise levels. I do no structured exercise, 13k steps a day. Oncea week I go for a walk or bike ride for 1 hour ish.

I have some weights so will start using those, but no real motivation for gone exercise routines, and as a single working parent no way to go to gym or classes due to children.

I could use a stepper when they're in bed.
Or...any other suggestions?

I love my mini stepper….
it’s a recent purchase and I did a lot of research and read reviews and watched utube videos before buying it .
it’s sturdy and takes up little space , easily fits behind a chair or under a sofa
very versatile piece of equipment and can be used multiple ways , with weights , kettle bells , exercise bands etc
i started off at 15 minutes and will gradually increase the time and introduce weights . I definitely feel better , it encourages good posture ( your back will hurt if you slouch !) and if you loathe running and / or rowing it can be a great cardio workout, it also improves balance
I have previously done exercise so am not a complete novice however recently I’ve become rather lazy , though I do walk and at work I’m on my feet all the time
