Review on ๐Ÿšฒ MEILAN Blade Wireless Bike Computer: Backlit, Speed/Cadence Sensor, Bluetooth, ANT+, 80-hr Battery Life, 2.5in Screen, Waterproof M4 - Perfect for Road Biking by Rick Rogers

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works as advertised

The M4 cycle computer was purchased in October 2020 to replace a competitor's sat nav. I wanted something with basic functionality that would work with minimal setup. Also, I needed a larger device so I could easily see the readings. Everything seemed fine until one day in June 2021 I realized that I couldn't put the bike computer in the stand. Then I noticed that one of the wings on the back in the cradle was broken. After removing the part I decided I could ride if it was only attached on one side. It only took 2 weeks for the other wing to break, rendering my computer unsupportable by the stand. After contacting customer service to inquire about the warranty, I was pleasantly surprised to hear that a Meilan representative said they would replace it free of charge. It was replaced in early August 2021 by the Blade, which appears to be the same computer but has been renamed. For some reason, the new computer feels a little more "buggy," but overall it gets the job done. All I had to do was set up the new computer and connect it to the existing sensors. Thanks Meilan for the responsive customer service!
