Pros: 
Smooth, quiet
Cons: 
Not sure anything can replicate real road feel

I bought this about two years ago and have used it several times since. The trainer feels very smooth. This is my first trainer and it takes some getting used to, especially when you hear your bike creak from underneath you. Now that I'm getting back into cycling/triathlons, I'll be using it a lot more.

Pros: 
Quiet, Durable

I think this is the best fluid trainer on the market. Mine has worked very well and I use still it from time to time although I have switched to Computrainer for most of indoor training. However, I strongly suggest getting this unit if you need an indoor trainer.

Pros: 
Fairly quiet. Sturdy.
Cons: 
Nothings too quiet.

I definitely prefer the Fluid 2 over the Blackburn Magnetic I had. This trainer is much smoother and quieter. I have only riden the two so can't really compare with any other. I've had it for 1 1/2 years and no problems to date. I'd recommend it.

Pros: 
Not too loud, resistance changes automatically, i.e. no levers as in mag trainers.
Cons: 
Feels a little wobbly side to side, but i'm used to it now.

This is my first trainer and I am glad I followed the advice of trifuel members. I have had no problems with this unit and I would recommend it to anyone. Mine even came with a free Carmichael Training systems Time Trial training DVD.

I am sure using this during the winter will improve my duathlon and time trial performance.

Pros: 
Great workout, steady resistance
Cons: 
None

I've used this trainer year round for almost a year after buying it used from the Navigators pro team. I know that it's been worked pretty hard for a while and it shows no signs of stopping. Highly recommended.
