Pros: -Build quality seems solid, I believe this will last many years (I'm not talking about the electronics, just the bike itself). I really like that it is belt driven and has magnetic resistance, both of those should require little to no maintenance (especially since this will turn into a coat rack for most of us in 3 months)
-The adjustments for handlebar height, seat height, and seat aft are very quick and easy with the lever mechanism, but I think there are a couple downsides to this, see cons.
-The on screen metrics are great. It has any info I think you'd need. I can't speak to Bluetooth connectivity for a heart rate monitor, but I think you have to buy an iFit heart rate monitor (don't quote me on this, I'm not 100% sure of that)
-The bike rides great. I thought I wasn't going to like having only 22 resistance levels, but really it's more than enough.
-The touch screen is really cool and has bright vibrant colors so if you're going to be doing the iFit programming I think you'll be happy with it. It is a smaller screen (7.5") so if you have poor eyesight I would look for a bike with a bigger screen.
Cons (Again, take this with a grain of salt because I wanted to buy a stationary bike I could just get on and start riding. If you are going to do the iFit program these cons may not apply):
-Startup. This one is huge. You have to turn the screen on and wait for it to boot up and it takes about 20 seconds, not the end of the world, but then you get to the startup screen where you can choose your iFit workout. In small text in the top corner you can click on "Manual Workout" and takes you to a page with a running track and always starts with a 3:00 warmup but there is a "Skip Workout" button. Now in the settings you can't turn off the warmup but only reduce the time to 1:00. Once you get into the "workout" portion everything is great. If I could just hop on the bike, start pedaling, and this screen popped up, I would 100% keep the bike.
-Where the handlebars insert into the head tube there is a bit of slop from side to side and if you're doing a tempo workout where your body/arms are moving quite a bit, that loose feeling could get pretty annoying. If I was going to keep the bike I could put a small shim in there to wedge it in place and it wouldn't be a problem.
-Seat/handlebar adjustments - like I said above, I do like them and since I'm likely the only one in the house that'll be using the bike, they are just fine for the occasional adjustment. If you're going to have multiple people on the bike making multiple adjustments every week, I can see the plastic adjustment handles breaking though I do know they are widely available and easy to replace.
-No place for your phone. I'm sure there are 3rd party phone holders available for the bike. Not a huge deal, but annoying.
-The pedals that come on the bike are fine and grippy enough but don't have an spd or clipless option. You can easily switch out pedals though.
-I felt like the seat was very uncomfortable. If you're used to a racing seat or enjoy sitting on a 2x4, you'll like it just fine. Again, easy to switch out with your favorite saddle.
