Customer Reviews

Does it for me
I was going to buy this rower from Amazon but at that time it wasn't in stock. Luckily I found a secondhand one on the Gumtree website, so I didn't have to assemble it myself. The previous owner said that he had found it easy enough to assemble although care was needed to use the correct bolts in the correct places.
I was a little concerned that the resistance in the rowing action was dependant on my effort - there being no means of mechanically increasing the resistance but I have not found this to be a problem.
The machine monitors the normal functions: stroke, distance, time etc. but has no pulse monitor. I use a chest monitor (Ebay purchase) with the watch part strapped to the handle of the rower.
I am 6'4" and do not have any problem with the length of the chain on this machine (unlike the previous reviewer). I think that the machine is well made. The seat is comfortable and am looking forward to maintaining a decent level of cardio workout with this apparatus. Several friends and family have used this machine and all of them think that it does the job.
I would advise that some sort of protection is placed under the feet of the machine (I use high density sponge) as the plastic edges can leave deep marks in the carpet.

Perfect
I ordered my machine on the basis of forty other reviews i read on another site which all gave this product four or five stars. I ordered on Wednesday and it was delivered on Thursday...fantastic service. 30 minutes to build the rower after following the relatively simple instructions and i was away. The machine is sturdy and the resistance, which adjusts itself according to your speed is perfect for a good home workout. I am a little over 6 foot tall and encountered no problems with reach etc. It represents very good value for money.

Great Stuff!!
For the price this is a fantastic rowing machine! Gives a great workout and its really sturdy. The resistance gets greater the harder you row. Really easy to put together, light and folds easily for storage. I would highly recommend this to any first time buyer for this sort of product.
