    5 of 5 Quiet and Smooth March 26, 2019
    Reviewer: Van from Ventura, CA  
    I have used many wheels in the past two years, and what makes this wheel remarkable is that it's extremely quiet and smooth. The vibration is minimal, and it makes a huge difference when you use it a lot.

    Yes, the blue cover on the bottom was broken, but they sent me a replacement. And yes, mine was not completely aligned as well to the screw holes, but this machine is still far superior than the rest.

    2 of 5 Quite but really not worth the money! January 18, 2016
    Reviewer: Anonymous Person  
    Quite. But looks like cheap product. First, the blue motor cover was broken when delivered. Got replacement promptly. But the replacement blue motor cover screws holes does not map with any screw threads on the wheel base, does not fit right. Second, the bat pins are lose and does not tighten at all.  I would prefer Brent over this.
