I've had rollers, off and on, over many years. They're a lot of fun. I didn't find the difficult to learn to use. I found aiming a large fan at my face makes riding tolerable for many minutes; I wouldn't want to ride without a fan. Certainly with a little practice, it's easy to watch t.v. while on rollers.
My current rollers, which my kids gave me a few years ago, are basic, and seem to work as well as expensive ones I've owned. Check Performance and Nashbar, OP, if you are on a limited budget.
