I despite the lack of product reports chose this model because I had the feeling that the price compared to similar semi-professional models would be OK.
I am very satisfied with the basic functions, the most important matter, the mechanism is quiet and gentle, it wobbles, shakes and quitscht nothing. The difficulty levels are appropriate. I use "programs" quite rare, so I have not concerned myself with.
Pulse Monitors / belt: I honestly did not try. I have a heart rate belt with clock that are not compatible with the instrument, but what the hell, you can the pulse as well read on the clock ...
Delivery was a bit annoying that forwarding was unannounced at some point during the week there (3 days before the announced date of Amazon). Since I do not just sit times during the day at home waiting, no one who could take the device in reception was, then it was quite a feat times to get someone to answer the phone, which could account for a delivery date with me. A week later, the unit was then with me.
Installation: I found it pretty easy, but I have a well-equipped workshop. A rubber mallet is eg quite helpful.
The computer is pretty silly and the filing for the mobile phone / music player could be a bit better.
Bottom line: We use the unit about 4 times a week and are very happy with the mileage.
