We bought this machine awhile back. We just love it. It sits high and so my wife has no trouble sitting down on the seat with her artificial knees. The chain words great and it is fun to use.

The rower came in a reasonable size box and was easy to assemble. I have used it for several workouts and is similar to much higher priced professional units. I would recommend this rower. I have a hip and lower back issue, and this machine is "low impact" and actually soothes my condition.

I'm very pleased with this choice. For the price, the intuitive construction, and the small foot print made this rowing machine exactly what I was looking for.

Great workout, a little too low for the knees

I really wanted a Concept2 and almost caved at the outrageous expense but then I thought better of it. I bought this through Amazon and it came 2 days later than when it was scheduled to arrive, and I opted for an unhurried delivery time. However, it was relatively easy to carry down to the basement and put together. I was surprised at the quality of the parts especially since it was made in China (definitely would have preferred the U.S.) but the welds on the fan guard are crude and can scratch if you aren't careful so be sure to file off the rough spots. The handle at rest is a little too low. I'm 5'7" and when I'm at start, the handle is below my bent knees. This makes it worse for my husband who is almost 6 ft. One recommendation we read is that a person put the pedals upside down so he wasn't restricted to where his heel rested. Whereas that would make it easier to row without maneuvering over the knees, once you get the pedals on (which is very difficult), you really don't want to have to move them. Other than that, I was surprised at what a great workout it is. I'm a former competitive bodybuilder and runner and for the last few years, I've concentrated on hour-long yoga sessions, speed-walking, and biking. I was able to do only 10 minutes on this rower before getting too winded to continue. The next day, my shoulders, triceps, and glutes were thankful.

Best piece of home exercise equipment we have ever purchased. The only thing I would wish it had was tension adjustment. Other than that you can't go wrong with this machine.
