The bike is a nice compact size and can be used for someone who wants an easy or hard workout.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

It's not terrible, but half the time you lose the heart rate tracking. Also, the other day the right pedal fell off without warning, and it seems stripped somehow. So, we can't get it screwed back in properly. Not horrible. Not great.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

I liked the bike for being easy to use and for its overall construction quality. However, I had continued problems with the computer and its wiring, with replacements sent to me twice. This glitch would unable me to set desired programs and would cause the computer to reset (start over from 0) during my sessions.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

I found the machine easy to set up, but it doesn't provide as good a workout as I would like. Reason being that even at the highest resistance level, tension doesn't provide enough resistance to work my muscles. I need something that gives me more resistance so I can get a workout. This machine falls short in this regard.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

Bought for general fitness. Not very comfortable seat needs more adjustments.Causes lower back pain.

rotating belt broker after 2 years of inconsistent use.......I'd hate to think if I used it everyday

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

during the good weather I do not use it. I would rather do my exercise outside. I find this is excellent for my personal needs. I have one artificial knee and the other with arthritis. The bike gives me the exercise without jarring my joints and makes it easy to monitor my pulse rate. I am told I need to watch this as I am 61 years young.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

This Recumbent Bike has increased the strength in my knees, after my surgery. I really enjoy the energy and strength I have gotten since using this equipment every morning.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

I used this product everyday for about a year until the belt wore away and the ball bearings fell apart. The resistance was not consistent so I opened up the casing and discovered rubber shavings inside. The belt was wearing away. When I tried to adjust the bike to stop the belt from rubbing away it could not be adjusted. In addition to the belt, the ball bearings wore away and the bike started to make a grinding noise. Do not waste your money on this bike.

My 83 year old father used the device to rehab from knee replacement surgery. In addition to being easy to set up and move, it was stable with easy access for him. It's footprint is small enough to allow it to fit in a small den.
One draw back was that it couldn't be adjusted to fit my mother, but she's less than 5' tall.
It is excellent for rehab.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

The low profile lets the bike fit partially under my desk allowing me to exercise while using my computer, it's very easy to watch TV because of the very quiet operation, also easy to read while on the bike. I do use an additional pillow for comfort.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

seat could be larger and more padding

Provides a great workout for this old (70) lady - just the right amount of movement - to keep on ticking!

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

I had never used Stamina before but since buying this recumbent bike I have bought more Stamina equipment. Great features, programs, workouts, easy to adjust, compact design, quiet! Nice static resistance, you get a great workout and what else could you ask for!

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

GreatWorkout, the bike is used daily, only con is the belt needs replacing about twice a year.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

If your 5' or under this bike is not for you. Unfortunately They did not tell me that when I purchesed it. It is adjustable but not enough for short people like me. Now I am stuck with a bike I can't use.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

I ride while playing XBox 360 in my living room. The bike's quietness makes for easy listening to cds and it doesn't drive everyone crazy while I ride. It feels so solid and secure that I feel safe on it. I wish the display was backlit for easier viewing in dim room light.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

Great machine. Uses no electric, has a computerized monitor and does the same work as the expensive electric versions.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

The bike came with all parts and was easy to assemble. It is comfortable to use and seems to work well. However, after only two months of using it for about 30 minutes a day, the seat back has bent back somewhat making the bike somewhat less comfortable to ride. I am pretty overweight, but I am nowhere near the advertised 250 lb. limit.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

This bike is made for someone like me: I need exercise, but I'm really lazy. I can watch TV, read a book, or balance my checkbook while biking at a comformatble speed. There are only two things that I would want improved:
* the pulse monitor turns off after so many minutes with you hands off the bars and then will not come on again later if you want it.
*The adjustment needs to have one more adjustment hole for those of us at 5 feet or below. I have mine set at a lower point, but there is no lock (hole for the adjustment pin) for that small.
Even without having it locked, it runs quietly and smoothly!
I love this bike :)

I have tried a number of home gym prducts over the years and find this recumbent stationary bike to be the hands down best way to get the cardio workout I need without the pains and strains of other types of equipment.

Good heartrate monitor, very smooth operation, easy to use and comfortable. I would buy another one just like it. Very pleased with customer service.

I bought this product to strength my knees,cause I have arthritis in them,but it is so uncomfortable on my lower back,I have tried pillows and that doesn't help again.I feel I have wasted [$] on this machine.

I am recovering from a bulged disc and this is the only exercise my physical therapist will approve. Stamina 15-4800 is cost effective way to help me recover with exercise at home in addition to formal physical therapy sessions.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

The bike is great! I love the fact that I can set my exercise program today and change it for tomorrow. It is never boring! Monitoring my heart rate, distance, and calories burned are a plus. This bike provides plenty of aerobic exercise and it feels steady and secure all of the time, no matter how fast I pedal. The only drawback, I need help in moving it from one room to another.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

I am a 46 year old male, 6 foot 2 inches and 225 pounds. I bought this bike to get a little exercise after a spinal fusion. It was simple to set up, light enough to move around a little, and serves the purpose that I bought it for. It seems fine for my size, but I have only used it for 10-15 minute stints about 5 times so far.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

Works flawlessly. Easy to move around.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

This is not a gym quality machine, but it has performed well for more than a year and its delivered price could not be beat.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

I try to use the product eacn day for 30 minutes but it is usually ends up about 3 days per week

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

I believe the bike is excellent for a first timer doing physical therapy. The fact it is a non-jarring experience makes it all the more pleasant to use.

it's great

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

Age 60 - I work out daily M thru F...try to ride at least 15 to 30 minutes a day along with some light weight training. The Recumbent Bike provides an allmost effort means to burning some calories...just makes you feel good about yourself.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

Overall the machine performed fine and we were very happy with it. However after one year of use the tension adjustment went bad and we have yet to get it fixed satisfactorily. We were told it had to be a bad belt so we had the belt replaced with no change in the problem.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

I love this thing. If you want a great, serviceable recumbant but don't want to/can't spend a fortune, this is your bike. Most of the exercise equipment I ever bought got more use as a coat rack than anything else. With that history, I wasn't willing to spend [$] on a "decent" bike. And I didn't have to. She's going strong for two years now. And I actually USE it! So quiet - I ride while we watch tv.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

I use the bike 3 times a week for exersise and 3 times a week for warm up before physical therapy exercises. It suites my purposes very well and I am satisfied..
I just started having a problem with the computer.It is hard to start and set, and at times resets it self to a different mode or time.I have replaced the batteries and it hasn't helped... Can the computer be replaced...

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

The bike is solid, and easy to use. I am using this product to strengthen arthritic knees. I've discovered I have muscles in my legs again! The only thing I would do different is a softer seat, my tail bone gets a bit sore. [...] how easy it was to assemble. Great product! Great consumer standard.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

I thought this bike was a good purchase - good quality for the price and would purchase again.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

I can say that this bike very easy to use once the seat is adjusted. The readout is easy to understand. Well worth the price.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

It is great for a daily workout.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

Pretty decent recumbent bike. Easy to assemble and everything I expected it to be.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

I use my bike 5 or 6 times per week. It helped me recover from a several year illness characterized by fatigue by allowing me to easily adjust the power to my fluctuating energy levels. I have been an athlete all my life and now am getting back into the above average, great shape I have always been in. I am a 54 year old woman who looks and feels 15 years younger, thanks in part, to my wonderful,streamlined recumbant bike!!

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

My wife had a knee replacement surgery and the recumbent bike is used as part of physical therapy. She uses it everyday to help strengthen her knee.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

Overall I like it. I don't know whether the lack of comfort is due to my shortness. I need a cushion on the seat and back.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

Great for someone who needs to get arobic exercise, but has bad knees and feet. Seat could have a litte more padding, but overall pretty comfortable.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

I would prefer a fully recumbent bike, however, I still ride nearly every day. I have had to add pillows and cushions for some back support. There is a huge gap from the bottom of the seat to the bottom of the back rest. The seat cushion and back rest both need to be larger. If I had any idea that it was so poorly designed I would never have bought this bike.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

i am using this bike to help me cope with pain from spinal problems.i have found it to be a big help to me since i cannot go to a gym.i am on disability and use this almost daily to help give me a cardio vascular workout along with strengthening my legs. my only problem is that being of a shorter stature i need to put a supportive pillow at the small of my back for comfort.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

The Stamina 15-4800 is an excellent choice for those looking for a sturdy, reliable, exercise bike at a bargain price. I've been using it for about 3 months now and I'm impressed by it's stability, smooth operation, and quiet performance. I particularly appreciate how easy it is to move this bike. I put my bike in front of the T.V. while exercising, and then afterward I store it out of the way. The rollers make this bike very easy to move. I'd recommend this bike to anyone who is looking for a solid, portable, bike for their daily exercise routine.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

We use our excercise bike, daily,while listening to CD's, satching videos and tv. before we know it, we've excercised an hour; and, had a great workout!

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

An affordable and comfortable way to get some cardio or warm-up while reading or watching tv.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

Because I have Meniere's I have a difficult time with balance. This bike allows me to get some cardio exercise without vigorous head shaking. I love it!

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

I use this bike to help recover from surgery for total knee replacement. It works as advertised, with lots of neat electronic info I don't even use. Be prepared for an awfully uncomfortable seat, though: I have to use pillows. Also, the bike is hard to get up from. Being slightly unstable yet from the surgery, I have to use my walker to haul myself up from the bike after using it.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

This bike does not put any strain on my back, neck or knees, which is important for anyone who has trouble in those areas. This is the best stationery bike I have been on. I love it.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

Rubber belt deteriorated quickly, broke within 3 months. Replacement was of better quality, but is shaped differently, so now the belt twists and makes noise, which will probably lead to quick deterioration again.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

Ride my bike a minimum of 5 days a week for long periods of time. One flaw is the monitor tends to cut off about halfway through my ride for whatever reason and resets itself. Haven't troubleshooted to figure this out so may be how I put it together.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

I use this bike several times a week and it works well except the settings tend to reset several times throughout a workout so it's hard to keep track of calories burned etc.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

It was a good investment. Performs well

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

Having bought this for my sister who had knee sugery It has helped her in gaining more mobility in her knee and has also helped in getting her a weight loss at the same time.I also use it on a daily basis and like the ease and comfort of the seat and back.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

The bike is to low to the ground, my heels hit the floor when I pedal.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

Used after 2 Knee replacements and to help lose weight and get more active.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

I use this product during my daily workout. It has held up well over time. As for features, it's a basic design without much to offer. If I could suggest improvements, I'd prefer a more comfortable seat and a quieter ride.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

Elderly vet. Physically and post tramatic stress. I use it three or four times a day to prevent atrophy in legs and arms. By sitting on floor in front of pedels I can use it for shoulders and arms. I use it. Two of my caregivers also use it. One of them wants to purchase one when she has saved enough.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

Good bike except hard to adjust for different riders.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

The bike was purchased to assist in my father's rehab from knee surgery. The bike met or exceeded my expectations and measuring from the frequency of my father's use he liked it too. It was very easy for him to use and adjust resistence as he got stronger. I liked the fact that the bike has all the features one would need to properly workout and no flashy or gimmiky extras. This makes the bike a great buy.

Only draw back which would not apply to very many people was that the unit was difficult to adjust so my 4' 10" mother could use the bike,too.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

I love this product. It has become a living room centerpiece because I use it daily in front of the TV. Its quiet, many resistances, and gives me a calorie burning workout. I have owned it for a year now and the only thing I would comment on is a clicking noise when I pedal, started recently. It doesn't affect anything other than its annoying..hope nothing else starts to break down.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

I have been having foot problems and was unable to do the normal walking/elyptical work out I was used to, and I found this bike online and it's been a great help. I make it a point to get on it everyday.
My only 2 complaints are that I have to keep shifting on the seat as I can not seem to get it positioned perfectly to keep moving at the same pace, and the function or set up buttons are hard to push.
Everything else is great.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

This is a great bike- it made integrating an exercise program into my schedule very easy.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

this bike fits perfectly in my living room and i can use it at any time.i find myself using it quite often.it is easy to use and gives me the motivation i need to exercise.
my doctor recommended this kind of bike to help build up my leg strength.i have severe spinal injuries and this bike enables me to help stay in condition.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

Use about 3 times a week and works great.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

The seat and back are inadequate. Seat needs to be deeper and the back support needs to go lower. I need to use pillows in the gap between the back of the seat and the bottom of the back for some low back support. Kinda defeats the purpose of a recumbent bike which is suppose to provide more back support. Had I known this I would never have bought this bike.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

[...] I had it all put together in an hour. No special tools required, though if I did it again I'd remember to charge the cordless screwdriver and use that instead.It's very quiet, very comfortable, and easy to use. Much better for my back than a standard bike, and I used it to rehab from a broken leg last summer--both my doctor and my trainer were very impressed with how quickly I bounced back from the injury, and at least part of it was due to using this bike at a very low resistance.From time to time I do have to tighten the bolts that hold the seat back on--maybe once every six months, but otherwise it's rock solid.I've recommended this bike to several people as a very reliable, inexpensive piece of equipment. Worth every penny.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

Looks and works good. Except for minor bottom seat being too small in the back problem--should cover handle bar--this is a very good unit.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

This is a great product to use for keeping your heart and legs healthy. I like the idea of having the program levels which help to increase effort.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

I really like this bike. The only downside is I am pretty short (5'2") and it is a bit hard to get the right leg stride length. I have this bike in my bedroom and use it while watching t.v. and love how quiet it is.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

I would have no complaints if it was easier to adjust the seat. Otherwise it does the job with no bells and whistles.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

I use the Recumbent Bike by Stamina to exercise when the weather does not allow me to walk.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

This bike was such a great deal! I have had it over a year and love it. It sometimes squeaks a bit, but other than that we have no complaints. It really helped keep us in shape in the winter, as well as strengthened our legs and got us ready for biking outdoors. We highly recommend!

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

The recumbent bike that I purchased a year ago is small enough to fit in my bedroom, without taking up too much space. I average about 45 minutes 4 days a week, and enjoy the workout while watching TV.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

Used in cross training with weights, ski, and climber.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

This machine is quiet, sturdy,comfortable and easy to use. Only drawback was effort (unavoidable) to change the length if two different size people are both using it.

The quality is amazing - seems like the machine should cost much more than it did.

Comments about Stamina Stamina 15-4800 Magnetic Resistance Recumbent Bike:

My physician recommended I buy a recumbent bike due to the fact that I have very bad knees and I needed to find an alternative for working out other than walking or workout tapes. [...] this is EXACTLY what I was looking for. It is compact, comfortable (big seat for those more endowed in the back end), sturdy, and very, very quiet. I use this bike every day (some days - twice a day) My husband is even hooked on using it. If you are looking for a great bike at a great price.... then this is the bike for you!!
