Do not buy unless you want to pay for a life subscription
Do not get this unless you want to subscribe to Peloton forever. If you ever stop, the screen is useless. We cancelled our Peloton subscription about a year ago because we weren’t using the classes enough to justify the cost. We also just wanted to ride and watch Netflix. Initially, we were able to do that for some time, and I enjoyed having that option. However, as of the October 2025 software update, Peloton no longer permits riders to access the Netflix app, cast to the screen, or even connect music from a phone via Bluetooth. I don’t understand. We pay separately for Netflix. We paid an enormous amount for the bike, which comes with a screen that has the capability of running the Netflix app. Why would we need to subscribe to classes we don’t want to take to access the technology that we paid for? This is incredibly frustrating, and I caution anyone who thinks they’ll be able to use this bike and screen at some point without an accompanying subscription.
