It is a very good machine for the price, great workout! Easy to assemble! Only issue is a crack in the hard plastic on the trac that was there as it came out of the box. Too much of a hassle to return it and it does'nt seem to affect the function.
I've been using this machine for a couple weeks now and it's great! I like the rowing motion better than other machines I have used at the gym because it feels more like real rowing. I gave it four stars instead of five because the foot pedals are a little awkward and I wish the resistance could go higher. I am already using it on the 9th resistance level (goes up to 12) and I am really out of shape right now due to an injury. However for the price, you can't beat this machine. Also super easy assembly. I did it by myself in no time and I'm not very handy.
I got it about a month ago. It required some assembly, but wasn't very difficult or time-consuming. It has a good range of motion and the adjustable tension on the arms is great. My one complaint is the foot straps. My feet come out even when I have on shoes and strap them down really tight. I have to concentrate on keeping my feet flat against the footrest to make sure my feet don't slide out.
I bought this on Amazon and it was the only unit between 100 and 200 dollars that had a four-star review. I had intended on spending a little more but after reading the reviews decided to get this instead, and it was worth saving the money. The unit was simple to assemble and works well, at least after two weeks of use. And the adjustable tension on it makes work-outs easy to tune for different people.
A couple issues when assembling but minor.. Broken handle due to shipping most likely.. But exceeded my expectations once assembled.. Bonus point, the machine makes almost no noise
I have little time using this machine, but so far I am pleased with it, small footprint, easy to assemble, I am a tall person and contrary to what I thought before buying, the length of this machine is perfect to me. I feel good when I am using this machine.
