BodyTrac® Glider waas the equipment I was looking for, at a reasonable price. It was easy to assemble and is not heavy so I can move it as needed.
The only thing I do not like is the foot pedal strap, which should be improved.

I was pleasantly surprised to find this economical machine fulfilled what I bought it for. I don't row. I mainly wanted it to (1) substitute for cycling in the cold season and when I just don't have enough time to get out during the day (especially true at time of early sunsets because I like to bike after work when possible); (2) provide enough resistance to replace the squats I can no longer do because I no longer have room enough for a squat rack in the house.
It fulfills the first completely. As for the second, it doesn't have nearly the resistance that heavy-weight squats do (its max at level 12 is well below the 320-lb. max I used to reach in a parallel squat--it feels more like 100 or possibly 120 lbs--but it is sufficient if I do high reps fast (say 200 at 1.7 or less sec/stroke).
Since I have not used any other rowing machine it's impossible for me to compare with other machines, so I'm going by intition.
Besides the foregoing, the great advantages are:
(1) folds up nicely for easy storage;
(2) lightweight and easy to position
(1) folds up nicely for easy storage;
(2) lightweight and easy to position
The main disadvantages are:
(1) foot pads are too wide for my shoe size and feet tend to slide around even when I tighten straps down hard; and only works with one pair of shoes. The straps should be longer because they often slip out of the slots when releasing.
(2) Have to completely dismount to change resistance level. I like to do ladders by increasing resistance with each set up to a max then stepping back down the ladder in subsequent sets. So I have to get off and on repeatedly.
(3) Since I don't row, the design puts more work on the arms than I would like. The machines with cables and a T-bar might be an improvement from this standpoint. The resistance on the arms slows me down--nearly impossible to get speed under 1.5 sec/stroke
(4) This form I'm writing this review on is so narrow I can't see the entire post and have to use the the horizontal slider back nand forth to read what I've written.

This is good quality for the price. The movement is not that smooth but it does have a full range of motion. Not sure if it would hold up to a vigorous workout but good for beginners. Also setting up and putting away is a bit awkward but it folds away which is a big plus for a small apartment.

I bought this equipment used. I am so pleased my entire family uses it and likes it. Especially my 2 sons. Very easy to use and the movements so realistic to real rowing technique. Once we wear this equipment out we are getting another one.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love it! It has the action just like a real rowboat. I put it together myself and the instructions were very easy to follow.
