I have a Kurt Kinetic Road Machine, bought based on the reviews that said it was well made and wouldn't leak fluids like some do.
I've used it in the winter with old tires (trainers are hard on tires, don't use your good ones)
It is so very much no fun.
Yesterday I went out on my commuter bike in pouring rain to do intervals rather than ride the trainer.
But I have ridden it when the combo of cold, dark and wet makes outdoors less inviting.
Set up a TV, audio book, or something so you don't lose your mind.
Have a fan and something to catch the buckets of sweat that will fall off your exhausted body.
