Stamina Products Recumbent Air Bike with Tension Band

Pros: Easy assembly. Comfortable.
Cons: Tension belt broke.

Myself and my husband bought the Stamina 4655 Recumbent Air Bike less than a year ago. Biweekly, I spend at least one undistracted hour on it while I watch a movie. Throughout the rest of the week I'm on the bike approximately 20 minutes per day. My...

Pros: compact, lightweight
Cons: quality control

I selected the Stamina 4600 because it was compact. Bought through an online dealer. When the first came the pedals wouldn't turn after it was assembled. I returned it. When the second came the tension knob was sheared off. I returned it. I just assembled the third and the pedals again wouldn't turn and the casing did not fit together properly. Stamina consumer line said a simple adjustment was all that was needed. Although there are few moving parts it was more than a simple adjustment. There should be no reason for the purchaser to have to work on a new piece of equipment. It has taken more than 1 1/2 months for me to get a bike that works (I hope!). Stamina really needs to pay more attention to quality control.
