    SO QUIET!!

    I ordered the Schwinn - 270 Recumbent Exercise Bike sight unseen, trusting the reviews. The recumbent style was a plus for my husband's back. I hoped, that unlike our old wornout elliptical (which could even be heard outside of the house in its later years), it would be reasonably quiet. Wow, if I am in the next room I have no idea if someone is using it, unless they are panting from the exertion! (Although my hubby reminded me it does beep softly every 2 minutes.) It is extremely quiet and provides a great workout! Another plus is the small footprint and low profile of the bike; it is very unobtrusive in a smaller room. It has a wide range of resistance pedaling forward, but there is no resistance when backpedaling. I looked for a bike with backwards resistance, but they were extremely pricy. No regrets with this purchase!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    Very good recumbent bike. Great price too. I like it simple, yet stylish and it works like a pro bike at the gym. It also doesn't require you to join any pay program to use the bike. Love the phone or tablet charging. It makes my daily bike routine passes by fast. Thanks BB for carrying it.
