Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I took a long time looking at the MagneTrainer and other mini bikes as well as the Exerpeutic bikes. I almost purchased the new Exerpeutic 500 until one person answered a question about the MagneTrainer. What we all can do with the MagneTrainer that cannot be done with any exercise bike is push the unit away using as a recumbent, draw in closer sitting in a higher chair using it as a traditional bike, and use it for arm strength. I can sit anywhere and use the MagneTrainer, in any chair, and not be stressed if the seat starts to hurt my tailbone. And when I'm done, it tucks away nicely. It is very quiet, very well built, and it took me ten minutes to assemble. It actually took me longer to inbox the unit. It's not that heavy at all. It does come with a long Velcro strap, which I have to use. I have laminate floors and if there is any trace of dust on the floor, the unit will slide. However, it is less likely to slide if it is pedaled in a downward movement. When you assemble your pedals, be very sure the pedals are on the correct side and they are tightened. In the manual, it does state that the company does not warranty if the threads get stripped. I am extremely happy with my purchase and I do recommend it to anyone. It is very comfortable to use, and if you think you can't get a good workout, think again. If you can get a good workout on a recumbent, you can get a good workout with the MagneTrainer, all from the comfort of a comfortable chair of your choosing :-) P.S. I ordered on Dec. 10, received on Dec. 12!! (Yes, I used free shipping!)
