According to the product specialist

Pros
The Saris H3 direct drive bike trainer is absolutely one of the best performing trainers with a maximum slope of 20%.
This bike trainer is very quiet, producing a noise of only 59 decibels at 32 km/hour.
The impressive 9 kg flywheel provides realistic resistance, even at low speeds during climbs, for instance.
The H3 can be connected with all the popular training apps and comes with a free one month Zwift trial subscription.
The H3 has the same specifications as Tacx’ and Wahoo’s top level trainers, at quite an interesting price!
The resistance can be set by software for a very realistic cycling experience.
With a maximum resistance of 1800 watts, the KICKR Core can simulate a slope of up to 16%.
The Bluetooth Smart 4.0, ANT+ and ANT+ FE-C connectivity enables you to easily connect the trainer with other devices and training software.
Among the most quiet turbo trainer in the collection.
This trainer is compatible with 142/148 x 12 thru-axle as standard but also comes with QR adapters, making it suitable the majority mountain bikes and road bikes.
The integrated power meter has a accuracy of 2.5 percent for very accurate training data.
With a maximum resistance capacity of 2000 Watt, the Flux 2 can simulate a gradient of up to 16%.
Easy to connect to devices, applications and other software using ANT+, ANT+ FE-C and Bluetooth signal.
The built-in power meter provides very accurate power readings.
Simulates slopes up to 24%.
Compatible with most types of road bikes and mountain bikes.
Very complete analysis of pedalling frequency, power and speed. Can be used with round and oval-shaped chainrings.
Cons
The trainer does not come with a cassette.
The cassette is not included as standard.
The body is designed to fit Shimano and SRAM 8-11 speed cassettes as standard. Campagnolo, SRAM XD/XD-R and Shimano Micro Spline cassettes require an additional body.
The cassette isn't included.
The trainer is delivered with an EU plug. An adapter is needed in the UK.
For some bikes an additional adapter is required, cf. 'Compatibility' below.
A cassette is not included as standard.
