I bought them because of the price and a wife induced budget. I've been happy with how the clipping part works, I stomp on the pedal and get a solid clunk, a slight twist of the heel and it comes undone.
But holy cow the only bearings I've seen on a bicycle worse than the ones on these pedals were on an old rusty schwin's wheels.
Yeah, they are pretty stiff. I probably would buy something nicer next time, but these were my first clipless. They were on sale and I had a coupon code so the cost me right around $14. Can't really complain about that. They seem pretty heavy, also.
