Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'd been looking for a rowing machine for home but not wanting to spend the 1-2k for a particularly high end machine. I needed something reliable and collapsible that would give me a good option for strength/toning and cardio. For the under $500 category this is definitely a winner. If you already do a lot with weights and upper body strength training you'll be turning the resistance up all the way, but for me it's great. If I want to push the cardio I lower the resistance a bit. If I went cycling earlier and want to focus more on strength I'll push the resistance close to max. It's also really quiet which was a big reason for going with the magnetic resistance. All in all it's a sturdy machine, easy to collapse and move, and definitely a winner for a rowing machine under $500.
