I was looking for a trainer to improve my cycling this winter and wanted to go online with it. The H3 has worked as advertised, and is made in the USA. The chain drive on my road bike is louder than the H3. Setup was simple and hassle free which is why I selected the bundle. No problems connecting to cycling apps through Windows 10. The feature I like the most is terrain matching with a cycling app. When the H3 changes resistance, it feels seamless. There is no slippage like the tire on trainers. Instead of watching the clock to finish my workout, I pay more attention to the virtual road. Staying on my bike indoors for more than a hour is no longer a problem.
I used the original hammer and thought the unit was OK. It was loud and the signal would drop frequently, but this H3 has been wonderful. It quickly syncs up with Zwift and is buttery smooth. I opted for the kit that included the cassette because of supply chain struggles finding a Shimano cassette. The included cassette is pretty poor. It's noisy, and just does not have very crisp shifting Makes your realize how good a Shimano Ultegra cassette really is. Overall, I am very pleased with this unit and glad I finally made the investment.
Bought this to upgrade to a smart trainer. Love the unit and it's capabilities. Very stable and quiet.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I moved up from the fluid 2 to this bad boy, I am sure I will be ready for the mountain mayhem next season. I could barely finish the intervals I used to do on the fluid with no problem. Its a great training tool

I had my choice of trainers, and Sarris was the hands-down winner, the quiet ride the H3 smart trainer provides is unparalleled, not to mention how easy it is to use, and how compact it is, with retractable legs and a handy handle to pack it for a weekend at the beach so I won’t miss my miles for the day
