Customer Feedback-
"The seat is very comfortable; the glide of the seat is extremely smooth. The arms row great. The total construction is excellent." - Actual User Review - Amazon.com "Probably one of the best rowers I've ever used. It was easy to assembly, and looks and feels really solid. Lots of adjustment in the "power level" - from really easy to really hard. I'm 6' and it is definitely large enough." - Actual User Review - Amazon.com "While I am watching TV or a game, and have never had to turn up the volume because of the noise - it really is very quiet. Unless you are looking for a health club quality rower, this rower would be a very good pick for nearly anyone." - Actual User Review - Amazon.com "I was hoping for a more challenging workout. This doesn't really do much for the legs, and while you can work up a sweat and raise your heart rate, you can't really go full out. The equipment can't handle it. The footrest straps aren't located effectively, so you really have to pay attention to your feet and even then they still slip out and you have to stop." - Actual User Review - Amazon.com |
