    Riding to work on either of these will be a real slog, you're better off getting a 2nd hand hardtail from ebay.
    If you can not afford new look for a 2nd hand Specialized or something similar close to you.

    Seconded.

    I got a cheap full suspension bike near 20 years ago. It sat unused for over a year then I started using it to get to work (just 3 miles or so), it literally fell apart just a few months later. I replaced it with a decent hardtail thats still in use 16 years later.

    They are both cheap and nasty tbh. You don’t need full suspension for commuting. I also think a second hand hard tail be a better option.

    You don't need full suspension for being on the road - we made the mistake of getting a bike from Halfords with every bell and whistle imaginable, makes the bike heavy as hell. Son rarely rode it.

    Go for something as light as possible.

    We used the 'cycle to work' scheme and got a brand new lightweight bike from a local company for about £15 a month. Bought 2 now ;-)
