Well built piece of equipment. Used video to put together which assisted a great deal. One of the pedals was defective as the bolt to tighten was rounded. Called and sent a new pedal within a week by Federal express. Expect to get a great deal of use from it. Had to watch a video on how to use the Electronic panel as the instructions were weak on that.

I suffer from back issues and this is about the only form of exercise that doesn't hurt to do. This bike is comfortable and stable. There is no wobbling. It has a built-in fan which is nice. It has a bit of a large footprint, but I had no issues getting it to fit in my space. It is pretty easy to assemble and move.

Great recumbent bike, mediocre support from Nautilus. Despite what the product literature says, there are no "Schwinn" apps any longer, and the replacement app really stinks. It does record workouts, but has zero customizability and the videos are really poor, with random stops and starts. The bike itself works very well, with the exception of the heart rate monitor, which is quite flakey.

This is a wonderful exercise bike for a senior woman like me. It's very quiet, smooth and easy to program, once you understand how. It's comfortable, but I gave it four stars instead of five because the seat back isn't padded. A pillow against my back works well. It's very easy to adjust the seat and the fan is helpful, as well.

I bought this recumbent bike so I could keep exercising after some shoulder surgery. It fits my needs perfectly. Extremely quiet, comfortable seat, easy adjustments, large readout display. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to use exercise bike in their bedroom or office. Oh, it only took 45 minutes to put together.

Have been using this for a month now, 30 minutes a day for 6 days a week. Machine is very stable and easy to use, I am 300 pounds and 6'2" and there is plenty of clearance between my knees and the console. Took an hour and half to assemble. Was not able to get the Bluetooth to connect with the app on my phone but I did not want to pay a subscription fee so that was OK too.

Very solid bike, intuitive controls, wished the power cable wasn't just an adapter that came out of the front end.

Highly recommend this incredible bicycle. As someone who has had two back surgeries and bursitis, the ease of use is extraordinary. The pace and resistance can be adjusted and the pace setting and recording serve as continued motivation. A wonderful addition to our home gym.

Assembly was easy and took about 1 hr. Helps to have a second person for one of the steps. Instructions for how to use the programs and actually get going are sadly lacking. Had to go to YouTube posters to figure it out. Bike is sturdy and stable and is becoming part of my exercise routine. Still have not been able to sync the Bluetooth and the Schwinn trainer App does not exist...probably called something else.

This bike is just okay. It's definitely not gym quality by any means. Assembly was difficult. There is one particular wire under the seat that can easily become pinched and your heart rate monitor will no longer function. The resistance seems to increase dramatically with only minor adjustments, so if you looking for a high entitsity ride, this definitely will deliver. My biggest issue though is the height of the screen. One of pros of a recumbent bike for me, was the ability to watch tv while also exercising. Well you better mount that tv pretty high, otherwise the screen is directly in your line of vision. Decent machine. It's just not perfect for me.

I’m happy with this bike. Assembly wasn’t difficult but it was nice to have a helper. My only complaint is that the app that Schwinn tells you to download doesn’t work, therefore my Bluetooth doesn’t work with the bike as advertised. But, I watch tv while I’m riding so I don’t need it. It’s a very low impact workout which is what I was looking for.

The Geek Squad assembled the bike professionally. It's sturdy construction, very quiet, easy to setup and use. Lots of preprogrammed workouts and resistance levels. Haven't tried the Schwinn app yet. The heart monitor is a bit flakey and I've found if I wet my hands a little, I get better connection and results. I highly recommend this unit.

I can’t believe I wait this long to buy this product. I was contemplating on getting this bike or a gym membership. To be honest, this bike is very convenient! Especially with my back problems, it’s great because I can sit comfortably and work out at the same time. My younger kids enjoy it as well, it’s pretty safe for them.

The assembly instructions were a little confusing at first. Once assembled, the bike works great, is very comfortable, and provides several metrics for your fitness goals. Note, the heart monitor on mine does not seem to work properly if left plugged in for an extended period of time. This can be resolved by unplugging the device and resetting it.

Perfect size for home use. Easy to set up and adjust for different heights. Both my teenage daughter and I are using it since the weather's not great outside. Bought on sale. More affordable and convenient than paying to go to a gym.

Pros- arrived well packaged, put it together with my 14 year old in about 1.5 hours. Easy adjust seat for height- I’m 6-2 and plenty of leg room. Seat is easy to clean materials. Impressed with how quiet pedaling is. Programming is not too difficult to figure out. Great range of resistance. Cons- for how quiet the pedaling is, operating the programming produces extremely loud beeps. Every push of a button or change in resistance is loud, so tough for those trying to sleep. I like the built in fan but it blows air a little to the left so it only hits my side/arm area and is adjustable only up and down. The hand held HR sensor is off by at least 15 BPM but that’s to be expected. Get a chest strap monitor if you want accuracy. The Explore the world App is very unrealistic. I’v only tried the free routes but they are short and make you feel like your going 20 mph and barely pedaling. Some may actually like that.
