 Rowing machine May 9, 2008

This is a great way to loose weight and get your heart in shape. It is very strong and durable. I have ridden a wind rigger before at the gym but this is as good without the big price and no wind but I use mine on the deck outside anyway or in the garage where it is windy or cool anyway. It is easy for me to move around and even though it breaks down in the middle, I just lift it up and roll it to my special place in the garage.
 Great, economical rower! May 2, 2008

The Spartan Magnetic Rower rocks. Easy assembly, smooth operation, lots of bang for the buck, fairly quiet and very well made. I gave it 4 out of 5 for only 2 minor drawbacks: (1) I wish the resistance setting was a little bit stiffer on max, for a shorter muscle-crunching workout, and (2) the LCD could have been a LED, or backlit - it is difficult to read unless you tilt your head just the right angle.
But overall, I'd recommend this machine highly to anyone.

I've tried both the Stamina Bodytrac and 1250 Rowers. The former had a leaking piston that made it inoperable within three months. The later made too much noise and was just awkward to use. This magnetic rower is a different thing altogether. For a comparable price, it's a lot quieter and seems to be better made. Plus, everything came preassembled so it took me 10 minutes to get the machine going. It actually does fold (there's a pivot point just behind the little handle bar on the bottom), but the footprint is still a little big. Also, there's two footpads in the front that you use for strength training with the rower- something I didn't expect.
However, the manual can be best described as barebones since there's really no instructions concerning use or more details on all the features included. Plus, while there is a pulse display on the computer. a monitor doesn't seem to be included (or maybe I haven't found it due to the sparse manual). All in all, these things are minor inconveniences compare to the good deal.

I like this rower, it is quiet and has a smooth ride. It doesn't slide around when I am rowing and seems durable. It does say in the included manual that the maximum weight capacity is 220 lbs. I think that is a drawback, since my husband would have loved to use this, but exceeds the weight limit. It also is not a rower that you can fold up and roll away for easy storage.(I noticed on the product description above, it states it does, so I thought I clarify that!) You will have to pick a spot and leave it there. I have an exercise room, so this is not an issue for me. It is certainly a great rower for anyone just buying one for the first time and not wanting to spend a lot of money on it. If you're an advanced rower, then you might be looking for something with more bells and whistles. Rowing is such a great all over exercise and you will definitely burn more calories in less time than some other machines.
