Top end trainer recommendation, Kickr Vs Saris H3

Equipment
1

So the Kickr '20 is more expensive, but quieter, auto calibrates and has some lateral movement.

The Saris is £150 (uk price) cheaper and is supposedly better with Erg mode. I mostly use TR when on the turbo so a big plus. I think the flywheel is also slightly bigger on the H3 so more road like feel perhaps.

Anyone ridden both?

Alternatively it may come down to support in the UK, I have heard good things about Wahoo support, but not heard anything (good or bad) about Saris. Can anyone comment?

I had the H3, it made a horrible screeching noise from day 1, Saris weren’t great in the UK from a customer service perspective, just telling me to contact the UK distributor which is Raleigh.

They weren’t very interested either telling me to return it to the retailer, which I did… For a full refund.

I believe Wahoo customer service is fantastic and any issues you have will be resolved.

If I was buying a turbo today I’d get the Wahoo.
