Kurt Kinetic Road Machine http://www.kurtkinetic.com/.
I do a lot of riding indoors. I have a CycleOps Fluid 2 and a KK Road Machine (with the extra 12 lb flywheel). The KK gathers sweat, the CycleOps gathers dust. The KK is superior in every way - heavier flywheel, the fluid chamber is far more leak-resistant, the base is wider and sturdier. |

Also has a great warranty and is built like a tank. I love mine but would like to try the Rock and Roll. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

I have the $80 Bell Motivator from Amazon.
 It's sturdy but not the most quiet or adjustable. I can still watch TV while I'm using it, but I just have to turn it up a little. For greater resistance, I have to shift. |

I have a Blackburn tech fluid trainer or some such. I am not all that thrilled with it. Its the only trainer Ive ever had. I purchased it over the mag trainer since its supposed to be quieter but when doing my HIIT around the 12 min mark when I start sprinting it starts sort of vibrating and gets really hard to pedal. I can not recommend it at all. Maybe I just don't know wtf I'm doing but it works perfectly for the first 10 mins or so.
Edit: I haven't had it very long. I bought it just before Christmas so mid Dec. |

I have a Cycle-ops fluid trainer and love it. It is quieter than wind trainers. Cycle-ops website I was looking at those, they seem pretty nice. The quieter the better. |

I had a Cycle-ops mag plus. It was really loud, IMO, and it wasn't a pleasant noise either. I had to wear a pair of ear plugs and put the closed captions on the TV. Sold it on Craigslist. If I ever do it again, I'll try a fluid trainer.

I've had a Kurt Kinetic for years. Many many hours on it and zero complaints. My girlfriend has a CycleOps and it'll get the job done, but I prefer the KK.

I have a cycle ops mag trainer....but if I to ride at home its on Travel Trac rollers that came from Performance that I got off Craigslist.
In the garage with the radio on and the door open for something to look at, a good way to spend 30-45 minutes. |
