With many "new" items, there are always specs and bugs and mismatches it seems that are extant. Here the first thing that comes to my mind is "a $300+ unit with a $2 set of directions." Not sure exactly what else I was expecting. It gets two stars for being apparently smooth in the operation. But it doesn't have that "wow" factor, and I won't spend much over $300 for a trainer. Honestly, it will almost certainly go back. The dismaying thing is this: in 35 years, I'm fairly certain I have NEVER sent ANYTHING BACK to Performance. I hate that this unit will not be part of my collection and is my sole return to a company I rever. Again, sorry for saying this, as your products are outstanding! Not this one, per se.
