Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Update: After owning this product for almost a year I had enjoyed it very much and was thinking of buying 1 as a gift for a friend. So when I was reading the reviews I was surprised to see my review was the number 1 rated on the page. This was exciting so I thought well let me give an update to the product after using it for 1 year. Here are my detailed experiences. I hope you enjoy. #1 reason to buy - gets a lot of use. I was quite surprised how much I use this FitDesk. I would estimate I use this bike for 2-3 hours a day and about 4 days a week. This is more than I have used any exercise bike before, so I really recommend this for that reason...and others. Comfort - the saddle and bike design work well for me. I had read reviews on other bikes about comfort issues and was a little concerned this would be like that. Happy to say that after a little time in the saddle I got use to it and have no more issues getting on and riding for long periods. I remember the first few weeks I used a pair of padded bike shorts to help with adjusting to so much exercise time. Desk use - I like the non slip surface and overall quality of this part. I learned that I could bring the computer closer to me so I could lean back by placing the computer on both the desk and armrest at the same time. We have the optional wide desk kit they sell. It has helped me have room for a mouse and my morning coffee. This seems to be sold separate but is nice. Reliable- my family and I have used this for almost a year at an average of 60 hours a month. The odometer has turned over once and at 5737miles now. So with over 15,000 miles of use and really no maintenance I would be confident to say it had performed quite well. Still very quiet and looks like new. So I am sitting here pedaling on my new FitDesk 2 and thinking I really need to write a review. This is not my favorite thing to do but I feel I need to tell people about this product. So what I have found is that it really works great for both my fitness and my ability to get the extra things done, like sending a letter or email. This was a pleasant surprise and I look forward to using it more everyday as part of my daily routine. After having the FitDesk for a while I wonder how I lived without it. Here is my list that I think will help others know what to expect. Pros: Comfortable Saddle and back rest with easy "pull" height adjustment knob Desk Surface is extra gripping and slides back and forth to adjust to my height of 6'2" and my wife at 5'6" Drawer under desk is nice touch Ultra quiet and smooth pedaling also resistance level can be set very high Arm exercise bands are great and easy to use Massager is nice feature and I do use it Feels stable when riding and no shaking screen Folds up easy and rolls on wheels to make putting away fast BEST OF ALL "I use it daily" unlike other exercise equipment I have tried Cons: Meter is simple, but keeps information so is easy to use Would like other color option Need 2 so I don't have to ask my wife if I can use it now Great product, highly recommend because I am amazed at how much I use the product.
