Recommended. Must have to keep cycling during the dark, cold and slippery months.
Easy to use. Quickly installed. Lots of choice of routes. Fun to cycle with others.
Pros & Cons

You get what you pay for
It's a good product if your objective is to use it for the winter months and ensure your mind is distracted enough to finish a 90 minute ride while not paying the sky. Otherwise, you may be better off with more expensive alternatives. The bearing block of the resistance unit wasn't attached properly so came out flying during the trial ride. You need either luck or patience with calibrating the unit the first time and the Tacx premium software combination with the Flow, is adequate but does not provide a close enough experience to real cycling. In short, it does what I expected for the money paid but does not exceed expectations.

Great for amateurs!
Really like the trainer, the only downside is indeed the need to use a training tire, which was super difficult to install!

excellent value for your money
I decided to get a smart trainer to do some trainings during winter, but did not want to spend too much. i think this TACX flow SMART is an excellent compromise: very easy to configure, you can use it with all the main software for training. in the box you get one coupon for 1 month for tacx premium (very nice app) and one for 1 free month for zwift.

Good purchase. Fine during corona, but also in bad weather
I am very happy with my trainer. I can cycle anytime now. I connect the Flow Smart to the ipad and can ride fun courses. Highly recommended. Was well worth the wait.

Very good alternative to glade country roads
Never thought there could be so much fun in indoor cycling! This smart entry-level bike does have its limitation in terms of gradient but that's fine. Especially the combo with a one-month trial on Taxc and Zwift allows you to get to know both programmes first.

Deliciously simple
Unpack, set up, calibrate and then just use it. It is nice that you can plan the ride in advance in terms of heaviness. I used e.g. GPS ride from CentralPark (from the Tracx app) and then the trainer controls when you need to rap heavier and lighter, great. I have everything mounted on a wooden board so I can easily move it around

After initial build-up problems, top product
At first I was a little frustrated because with the help of the instructions and the manufacturer's video, the motor unit could not be put on the bike. However, with the help of support from Mantel and Garmin, the problem was quickly found: There are two mounting positions of the motor unit in the frame. In contrast to the manufacturer's video, however, these are not intended as a rotation around the tube, but as a linear displacement. This means that in position 1, the upper holes must be used on both sides. At first, this may seem strange for an attachment to a tube. However, this is correct and it is easy to achieve the correct contact pressure. A discussion on this point can be found here, for example: https://www.facebook.com/100002123946090/videos/3463446577069440/. According to this, many people have this problem. The good thing is that it is easy to fix. What else can be said: For me as a beginner and student, this is definitely a top product. So far, I have not found any weaknesses. If you have higher expectations, you might want to look in the higher price segment. According to reports from the internet, there can be overheating problems on very long climbs like Alp de Zwift. There are already solutions for this: https://www.ebay.de/itm/Turbolufter-fur-Tacx-Flow-Smart-Trainer-und-Baugleiche/293548602067?hash=item4458dc32d3:g:6eYAAOSwHIlel~1C By the way, it is much cheaper to print it yourself. But I don't think that should matter to most customers for the time being. I am happy to be able to train with Corona in my flat at all!
