Quality has taken a nose dive
This was the second time that I bought this model. The first one I bought held up for a long time, so when the pedal broke off I had no complaints. This time I was never able to adjust the tension as I'd been able to do with the original one I owned. There were horrible squeaks at first, but I wrote that off as an adjustment period. But when the squeaking stopped, there was still no appreciable difference between the lightest & heaviest setting. And then -- the fastener for the pedal broke and it became a piece of junk. I had used it for less than 1 month when that happened.This is a very convenient way for apartment dwellers to get indoor exercise since it takes up so little space. I wish I knew of a similar product at a similar cost that was more reliable.
