Best rower I've tried/used, but...

Quiet, comfortable and readily controllable. I'll only use a few of the very many programs. It does not roll on carpet; the tiny wheels sink deep and the end caps scrape the pile. I took the useless end caps off so that I can slide the rower with less damage to the carpet. What were they thinking of? Customer Service would not reply to me.

Very happy with the rower. Has a smooth action and easy to use computer panel. Has resistance levels for everybody beginner or advanced. I use it to supplement my other exercise programs. The only problem I have had is I had to replace the computer twice within 4 months time. Service department was very helpful & got the replacements out quickly & without any hassle. Hopefully this issue is resolved.

I've only been using this for four weeks. The product is sturdy and well constructed. The nylon strap looks and feels like it will provide lasting use. The handle is easy to grip and comfortable in the hands. The seat is comfortable and I've had no issues with it. I'm starting out with 30 minute sessions on low level to work on my technique and form and very much like the steady resistance. For older first time users on a rowing machine (I'm 66), if you haven't already been exercising regularly this will give you a good initial workout at level 1. If you're like myself and do regularly exercise but haven't used a rowing machine, once you feel comfortable with proper technique and form you'll be ready to push upwards and this machine has very good resistance settings and built-in programs that will challenge you. Also allows for custom programming. The digital screen is easy to read and simple operations. I'm very satisfied with this product and highly recommend it!

My wife and I have been using this rower on a daily basis for over 6 months. Love it ! Smooth and quiet. It was easy to assemble and flipping up the seat and bar after use is easy for storage. The computer is straight forward and does everything that we need. Had some minor transport issues which the friendly staff quickly resolved. GREAT PRODUCT and CUSTOMER SERVICE ! Highly recommended.

Great piece of equipment that we use at least a hour a day that I use at the highest setting. My wife does 30 minutes a day at the medium setting and it definitely does the job. One negative is the seat that gets very uncomfortable after about 20-30 minutes of use and would like to explore getting another seat for the rower from the company if they offer one.

The rower arrived in 2 days. It was easy to put together. I like the variety of programs it has and that you can increase the resistance easily on each program. The only issue so far is that the heart monitor only works intermittently. So it causes me more frustration to use it than not . I find that it’s very comfortable and very compact . I think for the money it’s pretty high quality .

I have had this rower for about 3 weeks, and I have been building up slowly, by using it daily. I am completely satisfied and happy with it!!!!! The only thing is that the my " seat" hurts a bit after 20 min. or more, but I do believe it will just take getting used to it. I am VERY HAPPY that I made the purchase. I have not yet tried programs 3-12, but I definitely pleased with program 1 being totally manual, and the rolling program 2 is excellent for beginners. I am sure that little by little I will get more and more enjoyment from this rowing machine! Thank You!!! Maria

Since I started working out at home instead of a gym, I have been slowly adding pieces of equipment. I missed the rower from the gym and have been researching models and prices for a while and finally settled on this one. First, I put it together in less than 20 minutes by myself. Very easy and good instructions - it even came with the wrenches needed. I am so pleased with the smoothness of the glide and how quiet it is. I have used several of the pre-programmed features and have enjoyed such a nice variety. After only a week of using it daily, I am feeling and seeing the toned difference - especially in my abs and arms-- and I work out regularly with weights and an Elliptical so I wasn't starting from total flab. It is a great full body workout.
I was also pleased with customer service. The rower arrived with damage to the main piece. I called customer service and dreaded having to repackage it and send it back. They were awesome. They didn't even want it back and never questioned how or extent of damage. They immediately arranged to have the part replaced - it was the main body of the bike!
Be sure and do some research on how to do the row stroke properly and you will get a great workout.
