Saris H3 Direct Drive Smart Indoor Bike Trainer - Quiet & Accurate Cycling Trainer for Zwift, Peloton, and Rouvy - Perfect for Home Workouts & Virtual Racing

This is my third trainer, but first smart trainer. I had a really cheap magnetic, a pretty nice Kurt Kinetic fluid (wheel-on) and now this Saris H3. The reviews said it was quiet and they are 100%. My wheel-on magnetic and KK fluid were very noisy, I think the chain and cog noise of my bike's drive train is louder than the H3. With the 100% necessary (for me) cooling fan blowing on me as I pedal, I hear nothing but my fan (my KK fluid was louder than the same fan).The resistance variation of the H3 is quite substantial. I had it nearly stop my pedaling completely during one workout. I don't know about the 2000 Watts because I'm not a pro and so far I don't think I've seen over ~500w, but haven't worked on my conditioning with it yet. I'll update when I know more.The coolest part of any smart trainer (IMO) is the VR interface options provided by 3rd party online services like Zwift. The included 30 day free from trial on Zwift has been very fun. For the first time in over a decade of having an indoor trainer, I WANT TO RIDE THE TRAINER! Having the resistance vary as you go up and down the virtual hills (or mountains) is very cool, as is riding in the virtual environment with your local buddies or your new Zwift friend from Finland. I'm a data-guy, so having all the feedback info from the trainer (power and cadence, in addition to speed) is very cool. My Garmin HRM chest strap paired easily to my laptop, along side the H3, so I get BPMs on my Zwift display as well. Using an HDMI cable to connect my laptop to the TV in our workout room really enhanced the experience also (has me thinking about getting a bigger TV down there).My trainer (new and unopened) did arrive without a power adapter and with a broken front wheel block, but the seller was very quick to ship out replacements and it's been all good since.
