So far, so good!
I bought the H2 to replace a broken Wahoo Kickr Core. So far, the H2 has been good. The trainer set up and connection via bluetooth was simple. Took about 5 minutes, max. No issues there. I've been using it with TrainerRoad. The power seems to vary a bit more on the H2 than the Kickr Core, but that might be settings too. I need to look into it a bit more, but it is not a huge deal to me as it is a very small variation. I think the noise is the most remarked downside to the H2 I read in reviews. I don't think it is very loud. It definitely has more of a "whirl" than the Core. However, it is not as loud as a mag trainer and doesn't produce the vibration of a wheel on trainer. I think it is an improvement over those two options.
A world of difference
The H2 replaces a Tacx Flux. I now have several hundred miles on the 2 so I'm confident there won't be any unexpected issues. The difference is quite noticeable between the two trainers. I believe the massive flywheel is largely responsible for this. If absolute quiet is a must, the H2 isn't for you. I have no issues with what noise it does generate but YMMV. I've compared the power output with my Assioma pedals and there is no issue. Totally satisfied with my purchase from REI.
Very loud vs 2018 Kickr and buggy req. freq reboot
I bought a Hammer to replace my failed Magnus trainer after about 3,000 miles. Accuracy is good but I'm dissapointed in the buggyness and noise. I continue to have problems where ERG just doesn't work right in Zwift workouts probably 1 in 5 uses. I have to pause my workout, get off of the trainer, unplug, plug it back in and then it usually works after reconnecting. I have the latest firmware installed so it's not that. Accuracy is good, no problems there, much better than the magnus. Noise however is not good, it is obnoxiously loud even with headphones on at high speeds where the flywheel works best. I typically have to use ERG workouts and pick a lower gear to mitigate the noise. With ERG in workouts I can use a lower speed and let it increase resistance to match intervals. I've come to accept a very loud experience when free riding or racing though when I can use ERG and have to use higher speeds. I recently replaced one failed Magnus with a Wahoo Kickr and wow that new kickr trainer is silent. Night and day difference on noise. Kickr=very silent, Hammer=very loud Wishing I bought two kickr units now, Cycleops is just way too loud and buggy. You shouldn't have to reboot every 5 days for it to work properly and it shouldn't be so loud that you have to wear headphones and spin slower speeds using ERG. It's doing the job ok but my second unit 2018 kickr I bought for my girlfriend is so much better than my hammer. I'm in envy with my buggy and loud hammer. I've used the Hammer for about 4 months so no super long term notes yet, the kickr noise is just so much better I almost want to replace this hammer already just for the noise differences. It is obnoxiously loud at high speed. I have an H1 but I read the noise on the H2 is similar.
