This is one of the more recommended bikes as a DIY Peloton. You're getting magnetic resistance, belt driven, 4 way adjustable seat, & adjustable handlebars. Throw on a cadence sensor + figure out the comparative resistance with Peloton classes and you have yourself a solid DIY Peloton.
I would have considered purchasing a Peloton, but Peloton locks you into a $40/m subscription if you purchase their bike. The same subscription you can access for $12/m if you don't own a peloton product. If you're set on a Peloton and want to save some $$, they will be introducing used models in the near future.

EDIT: Looks like you can sync some HR monitors now but no cadence/speed. They list: "Some known devices that work with the Peloton App are: Peloton heart rate monitor (recommended), Bluetooth-compatible Polar heart rate sensor straps, Wahoo Tickr straps." I'm not sure my Scosche HR monitor will work but I can give it a try. Without seeing the cadence though, I'm better off sticking with monitoring cadence/speed/HR on my phone via Wahoo and Peloton Digital on a 2nd screen (tablet/tv/laptop)
EDIT: Clarification, this particular bike looks like it might not have a setup where the controller knob that connects to the magnetic device that provides the resistance is using a cable so you might not see the same issue but if you plan on using this the way it was meant to be used you will still want to rust proof it. Higher quality bikes will mention this in the instructions. My Sunny did not.
If your sweat is melting holes in steel and iron, there might be something else wrong....

I've been on a variety of spin bikes that I have no trouble adjusting to get a good 1 hour workout. This one should be no different.

The differences
-Has Digital Monitor (most helpful for cadence when doing Peloton Digital)
-Has Pulse Monitor (Eh, I just use my Apple Watch)
-Lighter bike (88lbs vs. 125lbs)
-Lighter flywheel (30 lbs vs 44 lbs)
-Slightly lower max user weight (275 lbs vs. 300 lbs)
The price is $454.71 at the moment, and if you use the promo code "SAVE10" you can get it down to $410. Free shipping, no sales tax charged on the order either. Mine arrived within 6 days of ordering. Easy to setup too.
I think the flywheel weight is fine. Feels smooth to me when doing my workouts, no complaints so far. But I really like having the digital monitor for the cadence, and at a cheaper price, I think it's a no brainer
Anyways, the bike is super solid and feels very well built. The seat was actually painful for me and my wife at first but neither of us ride bikes. It's a lot easier to handle now and it's only been a few days.
I did order the Wahoo Cadence sensor as well so I can track my cadence but realize that if you are going to use the Peloton app the cadence sensors only works with iOS.
Some other bikes to consider, not really in the same price range though. The Horizon Fitness IC7.9 and the Schwinn IC4. I was seriously looking at all 3 bikes but finally decided on the Sunny. Given that the price dropped over 100$ that would definitely have made my choice a lot easier to go with the Sunny. But do take a look at the reviews of the other two to see what you are getting for the money. The Schwinn had the advantage of including the Cadence sensor as well as a heart rate sensor. The Horizon was from a company that is known for their treadmills. So each had their advantages.
Ultimately I was happy with the purchase at 599 and for 100$ less than that I would consider it a steal.

Echelon metrics is a plus, although you need to use their app to monitor. It does have measured resistance though, which is why I'm leaning toward the Echelon. Once you have a resistance ratio figured out between the Echelon and Peloton, you have a relative idea when numbers are called out in the class. With the Sunnys, you have to guess and go by feel since the resistance knob is continuous, not discrete values.
