I have one of these. I’d give it a solid 4/5 for now.
It’s made in China. I’m not really sure what to say about the build quality. It seems alright, but the bike certainly has a bit of a budget feel to it… like, the plastic casing is rather cheap-looking up-close. I think £73 (+5 delivery, argos) was about right, I certainly wouldn’t pay £150 for it.
The resistance is satisfactory, and it’s comfortable to use. As for noise, it’s quiet to use though it does creek a little. The ‘computer’ is a little annoying in that it doesn’t remember anything when it switches off (calories/time/etc).
Though otherwise, it’s alright.

I have one that is a couple of years old now. I am quite happy with it but left hand pedal spindle nut has worked loose and there is too little space to insert a spanner to tighten it up.
