I bought this based on reviews. It is perfect for me. It is so quiet I can use it while my baby naps in the same room. It is a good workout as well. I'm definitely looking at the timer to see how many minutes I have left. The only problem I have is yhe velcro straps on the foot pedals. One has broke already so I'm having to use a strap to tie my foot on the pedals.
Great arm workout- much better than a pulley rope - but does nothing for my legs. I wish you could adjust the tension for legs as well, or that you could raise the seat even higher for more intense workout.
Got it before Christmas. Can't enjoy it more. Too bad I didn't purchased long time ago. I'm 58 and I highly recommend this rowing machine to anyone that wants to keep himself healthy and in good shape!
Overall a good rowing machine, really works the whole body. Had problems with the seat not moving smoothly, turns out the bracket that holds the wheels was bent inward. Stamina sent a new seat within a week and it runs great now. My only gripe is the foot holds. The seam where the hook attaches to the loop of the Velcro catches when you try to tighten the foot holds. Plus the huge Velcro is over-kill and hard for my wife and son to un-do. Their feet slip out if left loose after I use it.
