ProForm Vue Smart Reflective Trainer with 22” HD Embedded Touchscreen and 30-Day iFIT Pro Membership Black

Got this in December 2022 to replace an old ProForm TDF spin bike. Since then I have put about 300 hours and 5000 "miles" on the bike with no significant issues and little to do in the way of maintenance. I have heard some have initial issues due to factory QA. Fortunately I have not had such problems and it worked right out of the box.Pros: Generally sturdy, relatively simple assemblyNot terribly expensive if you are patient and wait for a saleLarge and fairly sensitive 22" touchscreen, helps immerse the riderGreat coach led road, gravel, mountain bike rides (need subscription for that)Plenty of studio rides as well, though I don't use them and cannot attest to quality.Magnetic resistance range is likely enough for most peopleStandard cycle pedals (so you can install clipless pedals) and saddle stem (for a different saddle)iFit interface is relatively intuitive and stable. I think I have "lost" one ride in total, pretty not bad.Cons: A friend got one on my recommendation and had issues with build quality that took several weeks torectify. Annoying to her and embarrassing to me.Saddle is marginally usable, requiring either replacement or gel padGeometry adjustments could be finer and with more rangeBar padding is unyielding. I added silicon pads, good cork tape and cycling gloves to prevent sleepingfingers.iFit does not talk to Apple Watch for heart rate and calorie burn. Fortunately, there is an app calledEcho that you can use to pair the watch to the bike. A bit buggy, but works without issues 90%+of the time. App is not free but not terribly expensive. iPhone also required to make it work.iFit calorie burn is way, way off. As in 3x to 4x actual burn. My demographic data is correctly entered.I suspect that Watts is also off, but it is consistent so still useful.I don't think the bike would be useful without an iFit subscription, unlike the older bikes which hadbuilt-in programs and alternative methods to change resistance.No built in fan for some reason.Music selections are terrible! I just muted the music, which has separate controls from the trainer.Unpacking the bike safely from shipping box was more difficult than the assembly itself. Weird.Cons may seem long, but the bike does everything it should. I still rate 5 stars because it's been bulletproof and effective, for a fraction of the price of some bikes. Customize it to fit you and your needs, then go sweat.

I ordered this unit to add to our workout room after completing a great deal of research. Settled with this unit and it arrived a day after ordering (thank you Amazon - 1/22/22 arrival). I was reading online and it stated you should let the unit "warm up", so I waited a week to put the unit together. (It say in the workout room - in pieces) I took the time to review all the documentation and put the unit together in about 2-hours (1/26/22) and then placed in location. I then connected the plug (As directed by manual) and nothing happened. I then double check the outlet and also all the connections, and nothing. The power plug was "green", but nothing. I immediately attempted to contact the company with no luck so issued e-mail. E-mail response came a few hours later and had little to do with a exercise bike. However, i took the time to review everything they issue and nothing changed. I then responded back on the 27th (via e-mail) advising that nothing worked. As of today, no response and i have an exercise bike that i cannot use. To make matters worse, i do not have the box due to the size so how do i return this? I have called the company and was on hold for an hour - nothing. I then called back and left my number. I really was looking forward to utilizing this bike but now i have to waste a hugh amount of time and effort to figure this out.

Avid mountain biker but don't like riding in the brutal Bama summer heat or the winter. Wanted a way to keep fit indoors without it being boring. Read a lot of reviews before purchasing this unit and so far after about 6 months in I'm very satisfied with the decision.The unit construction and quality is very well. It is very quiet and sturdy even at higher speeds. The large touchscreen is nice I signed up for a year of the iFit subscription and have not been disappointed in the selection of rides available. The scenery is excellent, the trainers are fun to ride with, and I've learned a lot about other countries, areas, and cultures just riding the bike from my living room. The music selection is good and I like that I can adjust different settings in the application.The seat isn't the most comfortable so I'll probably use one similar to my outdoor bike at some point. Any bike seat can be used along with the pedals. It took some adjustment (I'm 6'1" 210 lbs) to get everything the way I like it, but it's not going to feel just like a real mountain bike regardless of what you do, at least not for someone in my size range. I did replace the stirrup pedals with a set of clipless pedals (what I use on my mountain bike) and it has made the rides much better, because I now get that push/pull affect.If you're on the fence about spending this kind of money for an indoor cycle, this is a great alternative to the more expensive brands/models. I've had zero issues with this unit and I use it four times per week.

This bike is very heavy duty. It is great quality structurally. Although a piece of mine did come broke. Luckily it doesn’t effect the function and is still usable. The part I am disappointed with is how the computer part functions. Two out of the three times I’ve used this my class completely froze up. I tried restarting one of the classes three times and then gave up. Also when it freezes it doesn’t give you an option to go back to where you left off you have to completely start over. The only reason I got this was for the classes. But if I can’t use them without this happening then I might as well return the bike. It’s not my internet because I’ve never had an issue with the WiFi before. It’s super annoying. I want to love this bike I really do but that completely ruins it for me.
