I wish the display would stay on one set of units instead is switching back and forth so I could keep track of my rpms better. The seat also is uncomfortable and digs into the back of my legs. Other than that, it is what I expected and works accordingly.

So far good. A little noisy. Seems solid. My wife likes it as well.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is the best value out there if you don't want to spend over a thousand dollars. Really sleek design with a minimal footprint. Very sturdy frame and good quality (which is common with Stamina products). I think this will last a long time and love that it's a chain rower instead of a strap. Also, some internet reviews complain about the noise an air rower makes. I find the noise is satisfying and not that bad (it means I'm working out), also the flywheel from an air rower creates a fan effect which cools you off during your workout. You will not regret buying this beautiful and highly effective piece of equipment.

My husband bought this for my birthday(upon my request) and I LOVE IT! Does its job and is great for beginners, which I am. Easy on my knees and gave me a solid workout(shoulders, legs, arms and back all at once) The fan blowing on you is a big plus as well lol...

Good workout seems pretty sturdy, wish there was a way to adjust resistance, though the harder you pull, the greater the air resistance.

BIG fan of this rower. It folds up nicely if you don't have much space for it, but it is also fairly small and condensed so you can fit it anywhere while it's unfolded. Super smooth pulls, great digital screen, easy setup. I highly recommend, especially for winter months when you can't leave the house, or with kids!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I spent a solid researching rowers (from online reviews to customer opinions to pros/cons of water vs chain vs magnetic resistance). While a Concept 2 was desirable, the price was not! Finally, it was a informational video on Instagram by "trainingtall" that convinced me to go with chain/fan resistance rower. Sure, water rowers are quieter and have that soothing sound of rushing water, but you have to worry about (a) adding/removing water to change resistance, (b) make sure you use water conditioner to prevent mold and (c) the risk of eventual leaks. With a fan-based chain rower (as opposed to magnetic), there's no need for a variable settings because the level resistance is determined by how hard you pull. Sure, it's definitely louder but the wind generated by the fan is a welcome benefit for someone like me who tends to sweat more than most during exercise.
The unit was very easy to assemble by myself and came with all of the parts and tools I needed. After a few minor seat adjustments to eliminate a slight wobble, I was ready to go in under 45 minutes. I like that the moveable, flexing foot rests have nylon pull straps rather than Velcro (which tends to wear out after extended use). The seat is comfortable and glides smoothly (back-and-forth) along the rail.
I purchased an 8' exercise mat to go underneath after watching a YouTube workout video of the Stamina X on a bare floor and seeing how much it moved. With the mat, the rower stays put!
I will agree with most of the reviews I've read - the LCD monitor is pretty basic and rudimentary. It's also at an angle that makes the screen very hard to read (even in bright light). I use it strictly for watching my stroke count and strokes per minute - which it does well. To monitor my heart rate and to get a more accurate assessment of calories burned, I wear a Polar H10 strap connected to an old phone (Velcro'd to the front of the rail (just below the LCD display).
I've been using the rower for 3 weeks now and I've been very pleased. It's feels very solid and stable with no wobble whatsoever. I kind of wish the pull bar was a bit wider, but that's just me nitpicking!
I would recommend this to a friend!
