Superb trainer
This worked straight out of the box. Reading the instructions confused me more than necessary - would have been quicker just to get on and set up with guesswork. Set up fitted the bike with very little adjustment so made life very easy. Is fairly quiet but could not be said to be silent. Is the first turbo I have owned so I have nothing to compare it to. The DVD it came with made life a little less boring for the first 10 sessions but then became a bit dull. Nothing compares to being out on the open road. Serves its purpose over the winter however so i would recommend.

CycleOps Jet Fluid Pro Turbo Trainer
This is the first Turbo Trainer I have purchased. Assembly was easy, and after a couple of days of minor adjustments the set up was perfect. I use it on a regular basis (every other day) and I have improved my level of fitness by 10 to 15% over the last month.
I tried other products before this purchase and would consider it best in class for cost and quality.

Serious smooth trainer
I have had 2 previous trainers which are now knackered - have done some miles on the dreaded beasts. The jet fluid pro trainer has been great. I have linked up to garmin with speed sensor and provides an excellent combination. It can operate smoothly even when using a very big gear - feels very road like.

Great Turbo Trainer
This is a great trainer, easy to set up and get going very quickly. Much smoother than my previous one and quieter. Sturdy design and stable in operation.

The great indoors
I am predicting snow, hail, floods, gales, plus an occasional tsunami this winter, So I have invested in a new turbo trainer. My previous turbo was very much at the budget end of the marketplace and pedalling was just unrewarding at any speed. It is early days yet, but the Cycleops feels just like the road, easy in low gear and increasingly harder in progressively higher gears. The only criticism I have, is that my 28mm Durano road tyre skids when accelerating from start. I'll try a little extra tyre pressure tomorrow.
A good start, I hope to be able to add more in a few weeks.

Turns garage into sweat shop
I've been using a cycleops trainer for about 5 years. This was a replacement, simple to setup and get going on. The adjustability of the unit is great, and results in a handle which you twist to fit the roller to the tyre. I found the single lever to pull on my old turbo easier, but it's still simple enough. The turbo itself has adjuatable legs to make it stable, and rolls smoothly even as you increase the speed.

Smooth, sturdy, good power curve
Bought this after much research in to all the options into using power to train on turbos largely because it was one of the trainers recommend by TrainerRoad for use with their Virtual Power system. After over 70 hours of use through last winter, I can say that for that use it is perfect, very good value. It is pretty bombproof, easily set up, easily adjustable on uneven ground/floors, not too noisy (wouldn't call it quiet).
The power curve not only is apparently good for TrainerRoad, but it also feels very realistic and is steep enough in the higher speed end of the curve to provide high resistance. Using a 53/39 11-25 I have hit virtual power levels of around 950W and haven't come even close to spinning out.
Would get a trainer tyre and some riser blocks too. I used to use an outdoor tyre (quickly wears and starts to slip) and pile of books (not very stable). Overall, having spent a huge amount of time looking at turbo trainer options, the only thing I would swap this for is a Wahoo Kickr.

Compact and Quiet unit
Great little unit. Pretty quiet, easy to assemble and feels just like the real thing (except harder).

Excellent product
Use it once or twice a week but for no more than 40 mins. Instructions suggest a double click on the tension of the flywheel, if i do this then i'm sweating profusely, a single click and it's like a normal ride.
Took 30 seconds to put together and the product is made well.

Excellent
Initially concerned resistance wouldn't be enough but when you crank up the gears, the burn begins to happen

Nice TT but mine stopped working
The previous design had a level to apply pressure on the tyre - this stopped working. When I went to undo the wheel skewer lock, this also broke!
Resistance was nice though.

Excelent for winter training
CycleOps equipment is very well made and durable. Not too noisy and will give you a good basic workout for the money.

Quality TT
bought this to replace a worn out Taxc Flow.
using it with a Powermeter for best results
set was easy straight from the box and riding in 5 mins!
not as quiet as i had hoped.. similar to the taxc, hence only 4 stars
good sturdy base - wide legs and
good smooth ride though and wel worth the money.

First turbo trainer and very impressed :)
After doing lots of research on what turbo trainer I should purchase I decided on the Jet Fluid Pro Turbo Trainer with DVD. I am extremely pleased with this. I find this is a really good workout when I can't get out on my bike, I actually find it harder than going out on the road! The DVD was missing but Wiggle soon sent me out another DVD. I would recommend buying a block to put under your front wheel to level you out when cycling and make it more comfortable.

Great Turbo!!!
After reading many reviews for various turbos I chose the jet fluid pro and I am very glad I did! It was simple to set up, takes up little space and is quite enough that I don't have to turn my music up really loud whilst using it. The DVD isn't that amazing but hey it's free!I also bought the stand with it which I recommend. Some reviews suggested other extras like the mat and the sweat thong but I'm fine without them. A towel does fine and a cheap mat or even just your carpet floor will do the trick!

Perfect for indoor training
I am so pleased that I picked up this trainer, just when winter started, and I was able to continue training indoors. The noise levels really surprised me though. It's quite loud and I have to turn up my home audio volume quite a bit to drown out the noise. This unit advertised less noise than the cheaper unit (without the cover over the fan). So I can only imagine how much louder the cheaper unit would be. One of these days I'll get a decibel meter hooked up to measure how loud it really is. Otherwise it's a brilliant unit, easy to setup and adjust, easy to get the bike on and off and folds away quite neatly under the bed when not is use.

No Bells or Whistles
When I got this, I thought that it was too simple and there was no way of altering the resistance to simulate the climbs and descents that other machines offer. The thing is, you don't need them with this because the roller is fluid and the harder you go at it, the more it pushes back!
I am no hill climber or speed king, but if I can stick to a regular pattern of use, I have no doubt my performance on the road will improve as a result.

Does exactly what I want
I was recommended this turbo by our cycling coach whilst out in the Alps last year.
This is a very solid and stable trainer and which is also really quiet.
Not the cheapest but in my opinion worth paying the extra for the quality of build.

Great trainer
This turbotrainer looks good and feels really solid. It gives a riding sensation that is just like being on the road and the function is very smooth. The fluid resistance unit is superbly engineered with no roughness. The spindle fits nicely against the rear tyre with good adjustment increments to obtain optimal contact. Bike is easily attached by using the skewer provided through your QR rear hub. The fixing system is rock solid and gives complete confidence. One of the legs of the frame is adjustable to maintain a vertical stance if the floor is uneven. The overall impression is of a really well engineered device. I've been using this for 2 winter seasons and I'm very pleased with it. Strongly recommended if you're up for a turbotrainer.

Quick to set up and easy to use
Only used this Cyclops Jet Fluid Pro now a few times but every time so far it has not failed to deliver. Like riding on the road. Only disadvantage is when cycling in a high gear you don't really get the sensation of a very steep incline - that may be my gearing, or just the way it is.
Good tough workout though and burnt as many if not more calories than in a spinning class over an hour.

Solid turbo
Set up not intuitive, at leas not for me. I resorted to a You tube video. However, good and solid, easy to take to events. Quiet. The only problem I've had is low cadence high power sessions. Possible should have gone for the next one up.

Excellent - but
Great product but tensioning bolt sheared after 3 months (bought in July so hardly used yet)
Pretty miffed about the quality.
04 October 2012
Good, but with reservations
Not a bad bit of kit, solid, sturdy and well built. However, the adjustment is a bit of a non starter, not that you can not get it done, but it is so hit and miss, but once you get it sorted it performs well, and since I bought this a few weeks ago, I have done almost a five hundred miles on it and it steel feels solid. The trainer has become a bit of a serious training aid in our house as my wife now uses it if we can not get out or get to the gym. Overall not a bad bit of kit

Great turbo trainer
This is my first turbo trainer and i am very happy with it.
The trainer is easy to setup, isn't that loud and the resistance changes well with a very smooth ride.

Excellent Turbo Trainer
This is a serious bit of kit! Takes two minutes to set up straight out of the box. Silky smooth with a real road feel. Folds up eay and doesn't take up much room when not in use. Much much quieter than Turbo Trainers of old!

Exactly what I needed
This product is VERY simple to set up and works perfectly with absolutely minimal effort,all I do is get on and ride!!!.
I was concerned about the lack of adjustability in resistance as I was particularly looking to increase levels of strength and fitness. However, in conjucntion with a Heart Rate Monitor I have had no problems with developing simple interval training regimes which simply rely on higher resistance at higher speeds. I have also found it very good for longer distance endurance work.
Everything I need.
2 months in, great piece of kit, really looking forward to the new season!!!!.
