Honestly Pretty Good
Had a "generic" one of these a few years back, and it was loud/annoying, I never used it. Was pleasantly surprised with this one, took a chance and bought it on sale which was not much more than the generic one I previously purchased. The packaging was nice, it was a super easy setup. Despite what other reviewers say, this thing is incredibly quiet compared to the competition. In my open office setting, you can't even hear it at all. One thing I'd recommend is bringing another pair of gym shoes to the office and leaving them there because your current office shoes will start to smell if you continually use them with this. That being said, it's a nice way to get some simple exercise in while you do reports or just general work. For most people, you'll get more use from this than a Peloton which costs 10-15x, and for that reason alone it wins. I don't use any of the associated tracking, so I can't comment on that. The angled pedals do work well under my traditional style desk setup and I use it with both a regular office chair and an "exercise ball" balance chair with no issues.
