It’s hard to recommend because they provide different things. Generally Peloton suits people who are looking for a gym experience in their home, smart trainers suit cyclists.
I wouldn’t buy a Peloton v1 bike because they are just manual resistance “dumb” spin bikes. The v2 are better as they’re smart resistance controlled. But they’re still spin bikes rather than bicycles.
I have a Wahoo Kickr smart trainer and it’s brilliant. Even the Mrs likes it and she’s under the peer pressure with her pals being Peloton fanatics.
So ultimately it’s down to what you or they want. Both very good but both for different types of user.
