I have had my Exerpeutic for about 3 weeks now and I'm very happy with it. It is super quiet and the pedal resistance feels just like a regular bike. I deducted one star because, as other reviewers have said, the seat is rather hard, and I would add that its adjustability is limited. I am 5'2" (125 lbs) and I am comfortable on the bike, but must sit on the edge of the seat and cannot set it lower. It does feel very stable and feels like riding a street bike. It stays in front of the TV for my use during week nights, and I can easily hear the tv's audio, it really is that quiet. I am very happy with this purchase.
