Basically works.: Electronics and gadgets

Bought 6 months ago to check mileage. To do this, it does exactly what I was looking for. However, the cadence does not work even after I replaced the dead battery that was included in the sending device.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Suitable

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Updates

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • ribbon

Bell computers tend to have relatively low "star" ratings, and I'm familiar with their (deserved) reputation for poor instructions. But once you get past them I found them reliable and beat almost anything else for the price. Note that the photo does not show the Console 500 display (note thatโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Ideal for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
