Satisfied. Fits standard quick release.
Fits a standard quick release without having to use the part it comes with, which is awesome. Pretty good device. Initially thought it didn't offer enough resistance but after a 30 min HIIT session, I stand corrected. It's brilliant. It's not exactly quiet at high speeds. It vibrates my floor a bit and certainly makes a noise that would distract anyone in the room with you. It's sturdier than I thought it would be. Better than magnetic, as it simply increases the resistance the faster it spins. Feels close enough to the road that the high gears feel about right. Simulated a flat surface. You won't get that high resistance in the lower gears like a hill climb.

An ingenious device
It is sturdily and precisely crafted. Having never taken the axle skewer out before, I was concerned to change it over to the one provided, but I needn't have been. I change the resistance on the pedals by changing gears, get maximum muscle load on the highest gear, but like someone else described, this, at first, doesn't appear to be a lot. However, cycling for a few minutes at this load began to cause my leg muscles to tire. That said, I'm not that fit a cyclist. So, for someone more fit, I wondered if it would have been better for some mechanism to change the resistance on the machine.

Cheaper than buying a good quality exercise bike.
I got the local bike shop to fit a smooth back tyre. Then I swapped my quick release back wheel mechanism as instructed. I'm not used to adapting bikes but managed fine. Feels sturdy in use. Its not noisy. I think I'll be using it a lot over the winter.

So far so good
Having used this for the first time tonight, i have to say that so far I'm very pleased. My last indoor trainer were rollers which were ok, but provided no resistance. This fluid trainer seems very different. In a higher gear this feels like I'm pushing hard on the road. Albiet on a flat surface.I'm not sure if it would suit a much fitter cyclist, but for me, a 56 year old with average fitness, it feels like it'll be good enough to keep me going through the rainy days that normally keep me off my bike.Early days yet but I'm optimistic. Hopefully it'll still be of benefit come the winter. I will update my review if anything drastic happens to change my mind.So far so good.

Well constructed, realatively "quiet" and provides a more realistic ride experience.
Firstly, my review must come with the caveat that I've only owned the Trainer for a couple of days. Having said that, I must say that I've been really impressed with it. Just over a year ago, I ordered a magnetic turbo trainer from Yaheetech which has been used by my wife and I during the various lockdwons. Unfortunately, after 2000 "miles" and doing a sterling job, it became very noisy and eventually unusable. Reluctantly, I replaced it with the Unisky Fluid Turbo Trainer and, so far, It's been a much better product all round. It's a far quieter and provides a lot more resistance (which can be adjusted using the gears on the bike). Of course, as I say, it's early days but based on my initial experience, I wish I had paid that bit extra and bought the UniSky a year ago instead of the Yaheetech.

Quality pice of kit
I didn't want to spend a huge amount, but was really pleased with the quality of this piece of kit. Easy to assemble, with a holder for the front wheel to keep it stable. It's quiet too. The tension is easily adjustable. I particularly like the fact I don't have to take anything off my bike to use it. Highly recommended.

Very simple to set up and not too noisy
I wanted to take a first step into indoor cycling and was a bit worried by all the complaints of excessive noise. I opted for this trainer based on reviews and the fact that the fluid resistance seemed simpler (and perhaps more effective) than the magnetic resistance.Product is very sturdy and very easy to set up (took me 5 minutes). The noise is not a problem for me and I can still clearly hear music from my speakers without having to revert to headphones. I'm using a hybrid bike with relatively smooth wheels on rubber floor matting which I expect both help a lot.

Value for money
Nothing to sing it's praises about really, as it does what is says it does.It is a bit noisy than expected, so wear ear piece/headphones. Can't hear the TV clearly enough when in use.Decent construction. Sturdy. Simple to assemble. Bike fits well and no movement.One sticker coming off, from day one, but nothing to worry about.Overall, a good purchase
