Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I work from home and trying to lose weight, so needed something to add some activity. I also don't want a machine taking up room in my house all the time. So this seemed like a good option. Putting it together: came with the bolts secured in the spots they go. Made assembly so much easier then figuring them out. All pieces were nicely wrapped for no damage. Came with the 2 AAA batteries the display needed. Didn't take long to put together at all. I'm 5'7" and don't need the seat up very far. So definately would work for a taller person. Some really short people it might be a stretch. It peddles smooth and makes no noise really. Has the basic readouts. I mainly use time and distance. You just hold down the one button to reset the display. The seat is comfortable in the upright position. I tried the next one down, the seat has a weird angle for that position so not super comfortable, but I can handle it for 30-60 minutes. A small throw pillow behind you would make for more comfort to compensate for the recline of chair. The resistance changes smoothly. I thought it would be too easy to peddle, but it can provide quite a bit of intensity. Level 5 was a comfortable starter position that was easy to sustain for long period of time while still providing a burn. So I have 5 more levels to increase to as that level gets too easy. The knob to release the position and fold up can be tricky to get used to, but it folds up easily and becomes a small enough size to store. Was light enough to roll to our utility room for storage with little effort. I am so far really happy with my purchase. For the price, I couldn't ask for more.
