Stamina Exercise Foldable X Air Rower Rowing Machine w/ LCD Display, Red

The machine works really well except for the rollers. I've only had the machine for a few months and am already on my second set, which are also starting to break apart. They leave small hard chunks behind, which leave black marks down either side of the metal post and impede rowing. When functioning properly, the machine is great, but the need to be in constant contact with the company to replace parts that should not be breaking down this quickly makes it more effort than it's worth, especially for the price. I use the machine every other day and am well below the maximum weight rating, so it seems like a manufacturers defect or cheap rollers.

Was very disappointed in the product. I was looking for something that provided a rigorous non-impact workout to help with the stress and pounding put on our ankles and knees. I work out 5-6 days per week typically running about 25-30 miles throughout. I have an exercise bike that helps with the non-impact but was looking for something additional. After using the rowing machine i noticed I wasn't even sweating or breathing heavy. The motion back and forth was smooth but just didn't feel light i was getting a good sweat going or burning calories, nor was the feel of toning with pulling on the row stick. Better cardio workout comes from an elliptical. To me running burns the most and I really feel like i have a great workout.

I really like it I'm only using it 5 minutes twice a day but will definitely be increasing my workout as my body gets stronger. I'm also working around mild arthritis in my knees. My doctors recommendation was to strengthen my knees and i feel it's helping.

I'm 68, soon to be 69, and I used to be very physically active. Running, bench aerobics were the normal forms of training for me. Now I suffer from arthritis in my joints (knees and hips); all the result of impact training I was involved in. I wanted to find some type of low impact training to get back in shape. The Stamina X Air Rower has been the answer to my search. One can get a great workout in a short amount of time at a great Price. And my joints don't ache The rower is a solid piece of equipment and I highly recommend this rower to anyone looking for less jarring impact on ones joints.

I received my rower about 2 weeks ago and have used it about 3.5 hours total. I am used to Concept 2 Rowers but those were definitely outside my price range. Despite not having damper settings and a little less robust computer, I feel this is a high grade rower well worth the money! Would recommend to anyone needing a good rower that doesn't want to spend a ton.
