I received the 1205 about 3 weeks ago and row 1 hour a day everyday. So far I've lost 10 pounds, 21/2 inch's off my fat gut and 1 inch off my waist. The machine takes up very little room and stays in adjustment as long as you check the adjusters before each workout. My only gripe is the electrical jack that can be snapped off when standing the machine on end for storage. If that was changed it would be a 10 of 10. It inexpensive, will make you sweat and keeps track of time, calories, miles rowed etc. It works for me and that is all I really wanted. Got to go row, goodbye. C

I bought the precision rower a month ago and am very happy with it. It doesn't take up much space, I keep it in my bedroom, it's a great work out for many muscle groups, it's quiet (I live in an apartment), easy assembly, and it's affordable. The monitor didn't work initially and I called Stamina, great customer service, they sent me a new one within 2 days.

This is a very well-built machine, and has held up nicely to daily use. The assembly instructions were easy to follow, however, I feel a comment should be added indicating to not over tighten the bolts connecting the shocks to the mounting brackets. During assembly, the paint on the bracket areas underneath the bolting cracked and fell off. This is purely cosmetic, but it takes away from the clean look of the rower. Perhaps larger washers should also be used.

This is my second Stamina 1205. I row an hour every day and after many years, I literally wore out my first one.
This unit has a fairly small footprint when you lean it against a wall. I put white crew socks on the black rubber base ends so it leaves no mark on the wall. The electronics are fairly straight forward for those who like to use same. I simply time myself. The seat rolls easily on the track. The tension is adjustable on the rowing bars. I keep mine in the bedroom close to the TV. If I am watching something interesting, I can row for an hour or so. I concentrate bending my old knees to increase flexibility / range of motion. I like the oars of this style better than those higher priced models with a T bar handle that is centered and you just pull it. This is more like real rowing.
Not expensive, tough, portable, small footprint, quiet, and provides a great workout.

Good machine but . . .

I think it's a good product but two things that are not so good is the rollers on the seat are made of plastic and wear out very fast. One month using the machine (almost) every day for 30 minutes and the rollers are starting to break down. Before I bought this others had posted the same problem but I thought it to be an easy fix.
The second problem (which again more of an inconvenience) is you can't order parts online. That would be a major plus in my opinion.
Still a good product, but those two things keep me from giving it a higher rating.

Great rower for the price

I compared three rowers ranging $200-400 before deciding to buy the 1205 because it appeared to be higher quality than others in that price range. This rower feels sturdy and smooth. It is compact and quiet. Even the lowest tension setting provides a good workout, especially back/arms. Hard Core rowers may want to step up to more expensive, fancy, hightech models, but the 1205 serves my workout purposes exactly as I hoped it would.

I purchased this item after a few reviews of rowers available. I was going to purchase the older version air rower, however reviews showed it broke too often. I put this together within an hour and started on low setting for 20 min. Good workout and quiet. So far I am very pleased with my purchase.

Bought this to strengthen my back and increase my stamina and upper body strength.I am not a body builder but a 68 yr. old woman recovering from a very bad accident and 7 operations.This has exceeded my expectations and use it every morning.I thought I was doing pretty good but when I could pick up our granddaughter without any back pain I was elated.
