Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

. PROS: a. Real rowing (oar-like) action, rather than just pulling on a single T-bar. b. Comfortable even with tall people (I'm 6'1'). c. Adjustable rowing tension. d. A very sturdy, rigid, and well-built frame. e. Easy to assemble. f. Takes little room to use. g. Very low cost (one hundred twenty dollars). CONS: a. The seat is not well padded. b. The unit creaks and squeaks a bit until it is warmed-up. c. No instructions explaining how to actually row properly. (I found some great videos and info on the Web, however, that instruct as to how to use rowing machines). You simply cannot beat this Stamina Body Trac Rowing Machine at this very low cost -- it is an amazing deal!
