Exercises Arms More Than Legs,
It’s easy to put together and works smoothly. The rower itself is decent, but depends on what you plan to use it for. If you are a beginning rower or plan to use it competitively or even to warm up before going out on the water, I would not recommend this product. Rowing is a leg sport and all the high end machines I’ve used are built with this in mind. This Stamina Air Rower however, had an issue with this concept; the resistance on the band didn’t kick in until I was into the last part of my stroke (the arms). The basic pattern of a stroke is legs, back, arms. Your legs are supposed to do the hardest work because they fatigue the least, but because of where the highest amount of resistance kicked in, my arms did the bulk of the work and I tired out way too quick.
If you buy it for general exercise or for therapeutic reasons, it’s probably ok. Alternatively, if you are a regular rower and have been in shells this is not a device for you, not even for warming up – you’ll be frustrated with it quickly. It might be ok if you have really short arms and really long legs though.
Lastly, the metal support under where the foot braces are was bent upward so when I folded it for storage it was fine, but when I tried to unfold it, I had tons of trouble. I ultimately returned it for a refund because of this and because of the reasons mentioned above.

|Stamina Rower,
I used this rowing machine every day for about 3 years and it’s still in excellent condition. I’m passing it on to a friend, since I now use other forms of exercise. I lost a lot of weight with this machine, so I highly recommend it. It gives a terrific, total body workout…tones all the muscles, gives good cardio exercise, and offers plenty of resistance. It’s easy to use and offers low impact workouts. There’s no variety, but rowing itself is an excellent form of exercise, and can be alternated with other types of workouts.

|good product for the money,
It was easy to put together, and everything was included. It is quiet and works well. Be sure you notice that the weight restriction is 250 pounds. I’d amend that to 225 pounds to be safe. It isn’t gym quality, but neither is the price. Ours gets used ever day for about 1.5 hours.
