Fluid trainer for an intermediate rider Because of the Xmas sales some internet shops started making offers on roll trainers. My target area would be an intermediate machine, something that I would use an hour or so daily, with two-three hours rides once per week (the actual usage of the trainer will be lower as I tend to alter biking with jogging, swimming, and work-outs/yoga in the gym).

Currently I narrowed down my search to these models:


Kurt Kinetic Road Machine II T2200: 330 Euro 
Tacx Rollentrainer T-2200 Flow: 200 Euro 
Tacx Ergotrainer T2220 Flow Multiplayer VR Trainer : 333 Euro
2014 Cycleops Fluid Turbo Trainer Fluid 2: 300 Euro


I am a frequent half-marathon runner and passionat mountain and road-biker. Currently, I am training for a marathon. Any comments, which model should I opt? As one may notice, I opt for a machine that is around 300 Euro.
Originally I had a wind trainer which was very loud and the resistance felt weird. You could pedal really quickly and it would get really easier. I've had a Kurt Kinetic Road Machine for a couple of years and have road it about 40 times, putting about 1000km on it. It is quite, still looks brand new and doesn't get easier the longer I pedal which is a problem with some lower end trainers. This is because the fluid doesn't warm up and become less viscous. I would strongly recommend it. Also the resistance feels similar to riding on the road. Another benefit of a Kurt Kinetic is that you can translate your speed into watts. I bought a power meter and have compared the numbers and they are about 5% difference, so pretty close. Hope this helps
