It's a very poor choice. I'd recommend you return it.
It does not adjust resistance automatically like other smart trainers you have to do that yourself via the lever.
When you consider the Tacx Flow Smart is £200 and is fully controllable the Satori makes no sense at all.0 -
oh right well bike radar gave it 4.5 stars out of 5 i think for my needs its more than enough to keep me ticking over when its crap outside0

^^This 100%, the Flow Smart is a far more involving trainer.markhewitt1978 wrote:It's a very poor choice. I'd recommend you return it.

i basicly wanted sonething i could just look at speed and heartrate to stop the boredom of a normal trainer im not going to be racing on zwift or anything its just going to be a tool to keep my foot in the door so i dont lose the little fittness i have already0

I'd agree that for most people the flow probably is the better buy, but it is fair to point out that the satori has a couple of advantages -
-higher resistance available, better for big/strong riders/sprint training.
-doesn't need mains power - can be used for warm up/down at events, bit more flexible where you train.
I've got a load of PBK credit waiting to be used, if they had the Satori for Halfords' price I expect I'd have bought one by now.0
