Maybe it's a good enough bike for the price, but it isn't the equivalent of a much more expensive name brand bike for only $300.
PS. That video above is 10 years old. Are these bikes unchanged in that time frame as well?

I'd also seriously consider moving up to the Motobecane Super Mirage S and get disc brakes. Motobecane is another in-house brand that BikesDirect sells, and just like Windsor, the frames are made in the same factories as the big brands, just sold under different labels.

Personally, I bought a $250 hybrid BikesDirect bike in 2020 and put 2,500 miles on it with no major issues other than the occasional flat.
TBH, if you feel the need to have the latest gearset or plan on wearing spandex when biking, this probably isn't the bike for you.... OTOH, typically that crowd are the loudest advice-givers in the community, and imo push beginners to make more expensive investment into cycling (albeit prematurely imo).
From a slick deal perspective, nothing beats used bikes from Craigslist/OfferUp/FB Marketplace. Outside of that, if you are going to get a new bike, IMO BikesDirect has the best bang for your buck and can last a decade plus as your daily driver. You are not going to get best-in-class parts but their bike models includes more modern parts with each annual update (and they are currently selling their 2023 model FYI)
