I started a thread on kickr core vs saris H3. Few people said H3 was better than kickr core and H3 was very good trainer. I am leaning towards H3 myself

I'm in the same dilemma but with the 4iiii Fliiiight thrown in too. For me, noise is important since I live in an NYC apartment.

Interested in to hear other's opinions.

I just bought an H3 and I'm very happy with it so far. It does seem quiet but this is my first direct drive trainer so I don't have a great frame of reference. The only negative so far is that I have it set up on padded carpet and it rocks back and forth a little which can cause some weird chain rub at times, but I can't really blame that on the trainer I guess.

Nate and Chad from trainerroad podcast said they both really like the H3. Nate said it's the quietest trainer he has used (much more so then the previous generations). I'm not in the market for a trainer (currently satisfied with my first gen Elite Direto), but if I was I would jump on this one for $750 for sure.

I'd go for the H3.

I can't speak to the Suito but just got the H3 last week. It's a tank, flawless on TR so far, and with my headphones on I don't hear a darn thing. I upgraded from a wheel-on trainer and it's so much more smooth, it's ridiculous.

I have the suito.
Get the h3.
I got my Suito over 30% off the MSRP with a promo code. So I am happy with the deal I got. But I would not be happy if I paid the $800 price. It works well for zwift, but I have not had good luck with ERG mode in TR. and that is the main reason I bought it

I just pulled the trigger on the H3 through Clever Training. Ended up paying under $650 with free shipping!

I'm guessing you got to that price using rewards points?

Edit: Nevermind--I didn't realize my cart says $599.99 also--I was seeing the $750

I think that somehow a double 20% was taken off - initially to $750 and then again to get to $599 (plus tax to get the final price of $637 for me). I'm wondering if I'll get an email about this???

I bought the H3 back when it first came out. Paid $900 from clever training. I guess you can get it for like $680 right now or something. That's a steal. This is not only my first direct drive trainer, but it's my first trainer period. I've never even owned a dumb trainer. So without me having something to compare it to, I will say from all of the youtube videos I have watched of zwift races, this trainer seems whisper quiet compared to most. The ERG mode is very smooth, and the power seems very accurate. Overall, I am very happy with it, and I hope it lasts me for years.

Add'l VIP 20% markdown got you to the $599 :) Im in MA too and for some reason they didnt seem to add the tax on. Ridiculous price

I'm seeing $750 on Clever Training...how did you get it for $599??

I asked nicely :) Seriously, its for VIP members. If youre not a VIP member become one, its very cheap (a whopping $10) and its lifetime. i did it last year this time to get the add'l 20% off a pair of powertap p1s.

Ha ha...thanks! I joined the VIP, but don't see the discount. I'm going to give them a call and see what they say...

There is something going on with their website. I had the discount this morning and when I went to purchase it doesn't show it anymore.
But it also doesn't show the discount for any other item.
I called and was told to wait 1 h and try again. They were going to try to figure it out what is going on.

Called their Customer Service...they were having some issues with the VIP accounts. Got it all straightened out and bought it for $599! Sweet deal...thanks for posting.

It worked for me too.

I placed my order first thing this morning, crossed my fingers that I wouldn't hear back that it's a glitch, and just got a shipping notice. So it appears this is the real thing. Not going to tell some friends of mine that recently went in on a group deal what I paid, LOL.

LOL I didn't want to post back here till I had shipping info since it sure seemed to good to be true since as Nate mentioned above it's like double discount!! No tax to here in VA either and I was still able to use reward points/money from when I had bought favero pedals!!!

On the black friday thread someone reporting they're not getting the extra discount now, we may have been the lucky ones! I have a shipping notice but it hasn't been delivered to Fedex yet, I'd think I'd have heard by now if they were going to not honor it for those that got in.

After the DCRainmaker trainer round up I bought the H3- I really like it. Did a 56 mile ride already on Zwift on it.

vip member and not seeing $599 price in my cart. Guess I will call tomorrow

Yea I think they fixed it. I was seeing it at work earlier, but not now. Wish I had pulled the trigger then...

ETA: I think something is up with their system. When I add the 4iiii Fliiiight trainer to my cart from the VIP sale page, the discount isn't applied either. So hopefully it's just a glitch.
