I purchased the Stamina 1130 rower after reading a number of professional reviews. The item was received, packaged well, within 4 days of my order. The box wasn't really heavy so I could get it to my basement easily. (I am a 65 year old female.) I uncrated all the parts and did a quick inventory. The assembly instructions were straightforward. They included the tools needed for assembly. I was able to assemble the rower within an hours time. The rower is sturdy and worked well. My only criticism would be that they chintzed on the quality of the foot straps (velcro strips) which I restrung to the bottom slots for ease and comfort. I've done 5 workouts thus far, one manual and 4 presets: Fat burning, Intervals and today I did the Target Heart Rate workout, using the heart rate monitor that comes with the machine. In each workout you could definitely feel the difference in resistance as the programs adjusted it during each interval. The programs really work you! I like having the heart rate monitor since, once you enter your maximal target value, the pulse value will blink if you're exceeding it, so you can slow your tempo a bit. I'm learning more and more about the machine with each workout. I find sometimes after reading a negative review, that the customer was simply unaware of how the machine works. Reading the manual helps. My only criticism of the manual is that they could have explained the Pulse entry better. They explain target heart rate, etc very well, so you'd think you'd enter your target range, but there is only one number to enter. I first entered the "220- age" value, but once I saw how the display was working, I realized I needed to enter the maximum range value.
The more I use the rower, the more I like it.The rowing action is smooth so you can easily get into a rhythm. I normally work out on a treadmill, elliptical, exercise bike and bowflex, so I'm reasonably fit. I was using the bowflex for rowing prior to this, but the seat wheels wear out after a while and you can't alter the resistance without stopping. The Stamina 1130 is much better and I now find myself gravitating to this machine as my preferred equipment. I highly recommend this product.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought 2 months ago and use it 2-3 times a week. I have a shoulder injury and I am trying to strengthen it back to normal in addition to Physical therapy 3x a week. My only complaint would be that the seat is a bit too hard. A little more cushion would be great. Otherwise all has been great with my new rower. Thank you!!

I’m a runner , but in my 60’s, so when the weather is uncooperative, this makes a perfect substitute .... and it works the upper body unlike my regular running .... I’m not a fan of fitness clubs.... been there , done that, but now I’m able to stay at home and get a good workout ....
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great price and well made. Minor issue that shoe straps are hard to operate. All else excellent.

I've only had this about two weeks (and was away traveling for one of those weeks). So far, I have been enjoying the work out this gives me. The only problem I've had is the design of the seat. This may only be a problem for a few people, but it is very hard on the tail bone. I have had to use a pillow with a cut out section to prevent damage to my bum.

Broke after 20 Minutes

I put this together, rowed on it for about 20 minutes, then it lost all resistance, the belt started making a zipping/rubbing sound it hadn't made previously, and the engine is making strange humming noises. I demand a refund!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
