I originally bought a simpler £20 machine with friction resistance, it was light so moved about, had a jerky motion and limited scope and extent of resistance. So I bough this model, totally different. If you just want to turn your legs over the cheap will be ok but for anything more it has to be this type of system. It is solid, well made and markedly superior. I recommend it for all users.

Following a heart transplant I needed a pedal exerciser for indoor use, to complement my outdoor exercise regime. I have found the Magne Trainer to be of excellent quality - sturdy, robust and good quality. If you choose a cheap version of such a machine, you'll find the biggest problem is that the pedal motion moves the machine away from you. It is well worth investing in this model as the quality and solidity stands out. Good digital display, too.

Having used a cheap friction-based trainer with insufficient resistance, I was very pleased with this product. It has a wide range of resistance and is smooth in use. I use mine for arm exercise as I'm paraplegic; it's a good workout. I can get myself utterly knackered with it, so it does its job well. I can't comment on its use for the legs of course. It comes with two high-friction pads to keep the trainer in place during use It only needs the two pads because all the slippage would occur on the front two feet. I'm not sure how long the pads will last. They sometimes wrinkle in use but they can be straightened out and washed clean to improve their adhesion. On the whole I'd recommend the Magnetrainer.

I like this little trainer as, as a beginner, it is easy to use and I'll be able to build up my usage in time. I discovered that it slips on wood/laminate floors and have had to place mine against a wall on a carpeted floor. Also because I bought second hand I have no instructions and haven't yet checked to see if these are available online. Overall I'm very pleased.

A very solidly constructive machine that is clearly going to last. It is more substantial than I had expected. The magnetic flywheel really is worth paying extra for. Most mini exercise bikes use friction to counterbalance the peddling. The magnetic flywheel is very effective and precise to control. It is also very quiet – this is important especially if you want to exercise while watching telly or listening to music. The Digital screen gives you useful read out of revs, calories and distance. Recommended.
