Mini exercise bikes

I'm interested in buying one of these - spotted it while buying the brilliant value £4.99 phone which appeared as a grabbit a few weeks ago: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pedal-Exercise-With-Digital-Display-Personal-Care-/271527271224?pt=UK_Health_Beauty_Mobility_Disability_Medical_ET&hash=item3f38495b38

I don't necessarily want that particular model (just happened to be the first one I saw), but there are masses on ebay and Amazon and some Amazon reviews seem incredibly contradictory. Does anyone have experience of using one and if so, would you recommend/not recommend any particular models? Could the resistance be altered so they really do provide some sort of exercise as opposed to just sitting in a chair watching your feet go round?

Help much appreciated - many thanks!
