I bought this about a month ago. Saris customer service was nice to deal with. Product was easily assembled and smoothly integrated with my bike. It works well, pairs easily with the two apps i have used so far.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great, except for the power supply

Using this in combination with rouvy has been good. I'm not a serious biker, but trying to get my old knees in shape
Would be a 5 star, except the power supply sparked at me and now I have to replace it already.

Amazing Product!!!

I was excited to receive my new M2 the other day. Extremely easy to setup, & start biking within minutes. Originally I was contemplating whether to purchase a trainer or a Peloton. After weighing my options, I believe it was an easy decision after reading several Saris products having amazing reviews. Putting my new M2 in my basement allows me to do easy workouts at home and easily disassemble to clear space for company. I really, really LOVE it! It's so great to be able to get on the bike, do a 30 minute workout, be done and still be in my house. Then when the weather breaks unhook my bike, & be back outside in no time. Not having to tack on travel time to and from the gym is kind of the BEST. I love that I can really seriously be start to finish DONE in 30 minutes. For real. I'm amazed. I also have to say this is a smooth ride, & definitely changeling when connected to ROUVY. If anything to improve I would suggest being able to cast ROUVY from my phone to my large Apple Tv. Other than that, I have to say this is an amazing product!!! Thank you SARIS!!!

Great, but...

Very happy using with Zwift last season and am starting season 2. A couple of issues... First, the clutch in the tension knob simply does not work! However, tightening until one can longer turn the wheel by polling on spokes I'd fine. Second, cadence is a bad joke! Readings fluctuate +/- 15 or so RPM constantly, and Zwift training lessons do not cclike that! I got a separate sensor, and all is well! OH YEAH, the instructions tell one to create a Rouvy account to check and upgrade firmware. Why not tell the user to download the Saris app? That checks/upgrades firmware and calibrates the trainer. It does NOT require a 3rd party account. Also, if one does not want a network app, it let's one set the resistance as well
STILL, very happy with this appliance!

Not a bad smart trainer

I am comparing the m2 to a Wahoo Kickr Snap. The m2 is not as smooth of a ride as the snap. The Kickr Snap has more mass in the flywheel to help carry momentum. That being said the m2 works just fine. You need to download the Saris utility app for calibration. Also something else I have read from other reviews is to only turn the friction knob two full turns into the tire after the roller makes contact. I have had no problems with calibration doing this. No bent L bolt either. The m2 is not as quiet as the Kickr Snap, but it's not loud. Use a trainer tire to keep the noise at a minimum. Been using it for Zwift with no problems.

A Lot Has Changed in 20 Years

Holy moly! I wasn't ready for all the improvements in trainers since i bought my first one 20 years ago. This new tech has really changed what a "oh, I spent 30 minutes on my trainer" means. It's a workout! And this is SO much quieter than my old one. I think a lot of us have a love/hate relationship with our trainer. This one has certainly upped the ante. Highly recommend upgrading from your old trainer.

Solid Smart Trainer and Great Value!

Have been using the M2 for about six months and have been extremely happy with it! Easy to set up and the clutch on the tire/roller knob gives the right amount of pressure every time, no worrying about slipping or excessive drag. I trainer for the track and routinely push 1500 watts on the M2 with no issues. Maybe not as quite as some trainers, but with the a fan blowing I don't really notice it. Great trainer, glad I got it!
