Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Love this machine. I mulled over this purchase and read through TONS of reviews before purchasing. It definitely lives up to its good reviews. I was worried about it being too noisy because I work in a cubicle type setting but they don't even know when I'm peddling. It was very simple to put together so I'm confused by the reviews that said otherwise. It came with the one tool that you need. Its very smooth to peddle and I am 5'6" with a 27 inch clearance under my desk and my knees don't hit. I did pay the $10 more for the Deskcycle 2 because it is one inch lower (the only real difference between the two) and I'm glad I did. I have a my desk up against a wall so the machine doesn't go anywhere when I peddle but I do have to use the strap that came with it so that my chair (on wheels) doesn't move backwards. I love that I can put the electronic display/tracker on my desk so I can see my progress and it doesn't reset the distance/time/calories until I do it manually so it keeps track all day without losing data. The tension control is a nice feature as well. I am pre-diabetic so along with calorie burning I'm happy to have the increased circulation all day too. Overall, after all my research into the competitors, this one is the lowest (has the best chance of fitting under your desk) and best option and I'm glad I purchased it.
