This Kurt Kinetic is a very well made piece of equipment. It is very sturdy and was easy to put together. You may ask why I gave it two stars, I have one word for you "noise".I read reviews that the wind trainers get loud if you pedal fast. Unfortunately, mine was loud even at very low speeds. It was loud enough that I can not get a workout on the bike and listen to the radio or watch a show on my computer.The bottom line is if a very loud wooshing noise like driving a car with your windows open at moderate to high speeds does not bother you, this trainer could be what you want at a decent price. If you are like me and the noise bothers you so much you don't use the trainer, buy a fluid or magnetic model.
