as advertised
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
This bike does what it says in the description. It was relatively simple to assemble, but did arrive with some shipping hurt. The plastic legs were crushed but Stamina did send a replacement within a week. Regarding performance, it is silent and stable with enough resistance for most people. The adjustment for the seat distance is not the simplest so I would not recommend if you are not limber enough to hold the base in place with your legs while you try to slide the adjustment forward or backward. The electronics is very simple but not very vital to me in terms of different programs. I only use the timer. The main criteria for my buy of this bike was: Low console to not block view of TV; step through design; and price. This bike fits the bill. If you want a bike that looks & feels expensive then this is not for you. It’s just a clean simple bike.

Fantastic basic bike
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
This is a nice, sturdy, reliable basic recumbent bike. It’s silent and simple to use. Amazon.com delivered 2 days before I expected it, which was fantastic. The box was torn a bit, but none of the parts were hurt or missing.

One tip- the screws for the seat and console are already in those parts, not in the equipment bag with the other bolts and such. I was a dope and didn’t find them, so I emailed Stamina customer service through their website. They answered promptly and graciously, and I was able to assemble with no further problems.

ARRIVED HURT
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
This product arrived hurt and missing the instruction manual. The carton was crushed and being held together with strapping tap. I don’t know if the product is excellent or not, but I’m NOT pleased with Amazon.com because I bought it from Amazon and not through a third-party who was using Amazon to advertise their product.

A Quality Item
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
The shipping box looked pretty terrible upon arrival, but the contents were in perfect shape due to brilliant interior protection. Screws I thought might be missing were already in place in the seat and seat back. Place it together in less than 1 hour working alone with my own tools. Tools provided are like survival kit. Would work but would take much longer. Perfect fit & end on all parts. Very high quality for this price. Very sturdy and stable ride as evidenced by 300 Lb. rating. Large simple to read computer show. Simple to go wheels. Simple seat adjust and tension knob.

Stamina has brilliant customer service
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I ordered Stamina 4825 from Amazon at a excellent price. The product arrived quick but hurt (we kind of expect some damaging from reading previous reviews). Assembly is simple according to my husband who assembled the bike by himself. What I’m most pleased with is Stamina customer service. I requested for the hurt parts on their website. A few days after, I called them to see if they had processed my order and they said they already shipped out the parts. We couldn’t believe they work so effectively until we got the replacement parts in the mail the other day. I hope the bike will last long. I’m getting excellent exercise from it.

Decent Product
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Assembly wasn’t too hard although several screws were missing from the package. Unlike with other reviewers who said those particular screws were already attached to the seat, mine were truely missing. Rather than dealing with the hassle of contacting the company I simply took the seat to our local Sears hardware store and bought them there.

This bike is well built, doesn’t take up too much room, and with the proper setting gives a fantastic workout. I always prefer walking or riding outdoors but when that’s not possible this bike is a fantastic alternative.

Fantastic exercise bike!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This arrived even quicker than they said it would, assembled quite easily in about 45 minutes, and it’s very simple to use (especially if you park it in front of the TV), and I am absolutely loving it. It is really noiseless and doesn’t take up a lot of room, either. Fantastic bike for the price, and seems very sturdy and likely to last a long time. I am extremely pleased with this buy.
