The bike itself is nice. It is comfortable and pedals nice. It was easy to put together by myself, and only took about an hour. It's VERY quiet. You can hear the tv perfectly when you're pedaling.
There are Five problems I have with it.
The first is that although the manual says that you can change it to miles from kilometers, you can't. The directions for how to do it are clear, but when you try, it doesn't do anything. So when you get off you have to convert it to miles.
The second problem is that if you have to get off the bike for a minute, the computer will shut down, and when you start it up again it's reset. It's fine unless you need a drink or to tend to a needy three year old. It doesn't take long for it to reset either. It's less than a minute. So if you want a total for how far you rode, write it down before you get up or you've lost it.
Third, the heart rate monitor won't work. It's not a huge deal to me because I use a polar heart rate monitor. It's just annoying that it has that feature and it doesn't work.
Fourth, It says it rolls. It doesn't. It more or less slides when you move it. It is light and I don't plan on moving it around, so it's not a big deal to me.
Lastly, the case of the main part of the bike (where all the "parts" are) was cracked on mine when I got it. I don't know if it left Amazon that way or if FedEx cracked it. Either way it has a crack in it.
Over all it is a good bike so far. I'll update if that changes with time.
Edited to add:
The heart rate monitor does in fact work. Sort of. There were really thin clear strips covering the contact points. After removing these the monitor does function, just not very well. It is virtually impossible to hold your hand in just the right position with the perfect grip that is required for it to work.

I was very excited to get my bike. It's very comfortable and easy riding. Took my husband 1 1/2 hrs to put together. Instructions were pretty clear. I tried, my husband tried and my son tried to set the monitor from metric to English, based on the instructions in the manual and none of us were able to figure it out. Finally called Customer Service this morning only to find out that there was a misprint in the manual and you cannot convert. Now why would they sell an item like this in the US and only have a metric readout. Tried to convert using a calculator and it said I rode 916 miles in 30 minutes. Not too shabby. This is my only complaint about this item, but I think it's a pretty big one.

I had this on my wish list and my girlfriend got it for me for my birthday. Apparently I have some some lbs to drop before beach season. I've had it for a couple of weeks now and can't complain about it. Especially considering the low price of the item.
Assembly was pretty easy. No problems really there. Well, except for one missing screw. Luckily, I could work out a solution for that. And also, there's step where you have to connect the tension cable and I had to loosen a nut in order to get it connected, but I was not able to get it back to its original place. Whether or not this mattered, I haven't seemed to notice. Possible I may have lost a little resistance, but there is still more than adequate resistance to get a good workout in.
The machine functions fairly well for being one of the cheapest around. There's a little creak and wobble when using it, but as long as you don't go ape s!@# on it, it's not a problem.
The seat is a little hard. You may want to look into a butt pillow.
I am 6'1" / 185 and I fit on it at its most extended seat position, just barely though. My girlfriend is 5'1" and it fits her. There's even room to move the seat closer when she's on it, so even being a bit shorter than that would be work. Taller people though, probably not going to fit them.
Elements of the display are hardly accurate or reliable apart from the timer and rpm. Distance is displayed in some kind of mystery unit and the calorie counter just takes up precious battery power. However, I've never really found the displays of even more expensive bikes to be very accurate. So it seems to be right on par with them. I prefer to not let the bike tell me when the workout is up, so I usually just cover up the display anyway and go until my legs almost fall off.
We couldn't get the pulse counter to work for a couple days until it became evident that there was a thin plastic film on the metal contacts that needed to be removed. These were nearly invisible and maybe the reason a lot of people have said it didn't work. They probably never took off the film.
I would certainly recommend it to anyone looking for a low-budget recumbent bike. It lost a star because of the poor display. However, I am able get beyond that and use it everyday. Overall, I like the bike for the price. It's a great buy if you don't need a display with all the bells and whistles and are just looking for a bike.
