Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've used this machine for 45 min every other day for a year and a half. It is this only exercise that I do and I have seen remarkable results. I am 30 years old and I have lost thirty pounds of fat and have turned an average body type in an athletic one. My back and shoulders have especially benefited. Those are the results you can expect from using this low impact, compact, easy to use and actually pretty fun piece of exercise equipment - all form the comfort of your living room. As for the machine itself: Pros: It is sturdy - I am 6'2" and 190lbs (started at 220lbs) and have never had a problem with stability. I like the free rowing arms (as opposed to a bar like I've seen at gyms), gives the feel of a real row boat and also allows for exercising different parts of arms and back. Quick results - and probably quicker if I made some changes to my diet. Cons: Calorie counter sucks butt. Infact the computer in its entirety isn't all that great. Keeps time and number of strokes accurately though. Pretty squeaky. Always has been. Bottom line: If your looking for a machine to get the job done and you don't need a lot bells and whistles - get this machine. 45min = 1000 rows average 3 x week = 3000 rows a week 1.5 years = 234,000 rows in total and this machine is still going with no maintenance.
