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.
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.
For some bikes an additional adapter is required, cf. 'Compatibility' below.
A cassette is not included as standard.
