No experience of this specific model, but during the pandemic I bought a similar budget spin bike. Within the first few weeks, one of the crank arms (where the pedals attach) fell off so they replaced that part and a week or so later it happened again so they let me return it for a refund and I bought a Peloton that I’ve used multiple times every week since then.
The driver collecting it said they had lots of similar returns.
Looking on the Amazon reviews for your model, 509 reviews rated pedal strength as a negative with some reviewers talking about how they fell off.
If you plan to use it mainly as a coat hanger then it’s probably BIFL, but if you plan to ride it I’d say most likely not.
Peloton is a big commitment as it requires a subscription as well as the expensive hardware (although you may find a used one locally) but if you like it, the content can motivate and drive you.
Another poster mentioned Concept 2 and rowing - all the rowers in every commercial gym I’ve ever been in have been Concept 2, if you maintain them, in a home environment they can most definitely be BIFL.
