I like the compact design for places that don't have enough room. Set up was a bit difficult for non DIY people like myself. The action is smooth. Cons: the seat is hard and my feet slip off as I wear a small shoe size.

The value is certainly here. Great rower for the price. I'm relatively new to rowing, just had a baby and wanted to get something to use when I had time through out the day. Since I wasn't sure if I would stick with it, I started with the inexpensive to see if it was worth it. It's been great. It is a little creaky but that doesn't bother me. I have narrow feet, sized 8.5 and the foot cradles are fine and the oar like feature/motion is awesome. If I could find one negative it would be that the display doesn't note distance rowed.

I've been rowing on this machine for almost a month now, two nights out of every three. It works as advertised, and provides a very good workout. It also seems very well built and durable...no flimsiness to it at all.

I find this is EXACTLY the kind of exercise I need. Have 2 knee replacements, and 1 hip replacement. It is providing the flow of movement that does not cause injury to my joints and has increased my stamina. Hope now I can lose a few pounds too!

My kids like it too. At first, they did not know how to use it-now they are pros.

I purchased this rowing machine to give myself an alternative aerobic exercise as I already own an elliptical and run as well. I was also hoping that the resistance would help build upper body and leg strength. The aerobic aspect is excellent. You can really get a good cardio workout and get a real sweat going.
One caveat, if you have back issues, which I do, you should try out a rowing machine at a gym before you buy. It has taken me many short workouts to build up to half-hour on this machine. At first it hurt my low back (where my issues reside) and could not use it regularly. Though now I have an easier time of it, sometimes I still find I cannot use the rower for longer than 10 minutes or so. If you have no back issues, I would give this product an unqualified recommendation.

Not bad, but not everything it's cracked up to be

I'd like to give this product a 3 1/2 rating. The rowing motion is good, and can work as a stress reliever. The various resistance settings seem to work well. As for the read-out unit, which displays number of rows, minutes, calories--this seems hit and miss. In the beginning, it was completely off, but now seems to be working somewhat. I would recommend that it's simplified and refined: Just to row counts and minutes. Total count is meaningless, and I assume the calorie count is also.
As for total upper body workout, that’s questionable. I only feel it in my arms. I could lean back as I row and feel the effects more widely dispersed, so maybe there should be instructions on how to row. Regarding cardio workout, If you’re in shape, this is mild at best. I was told you have to row faster for a cardio workout, but to get any effect (if you’re in shape) the reps would have to be super-fast, which could lead to injury (strained muscles).
I got this machined for a cardio workout since I do light weights for upper body. So far, it’s not met my expectations. That said, if you’re out of shape, I think it would be good or cardio and some upper body. My spouse seems to get more benefit that I do. I will still use it, however, as I can continually increase the resistance to get some benefit. Too early to tell.
