 Good for the priceJun 25, 2008
This is a very good example of "you get what you paid for" My wife and I first used this machine at a local gym for nearly a year. Having used many of the whiz-bang machine over the last decade and decided we can do without all the extras liable to break. We needed something simple, robust and maintainable without an engineering degree.
However, this does not mean it had to be agricultural; good design is always elegant. This machine does have enough electronics to counts our strokes and keeps track of how long that we have been going. As it uses a fan for resistance we have no need to keep changing the settings to account for our strength and weight differences. The action, while not of the quality of the high end water rowing simulators has a similar feel to our real row boat.
Our only grouch is that the strong aluminium frame is too light. It has a tendency to creep during use. In10 minutes at 24 strokes per minute to do six inches backwards travel on a concrete floor--more on a more slippery floor. A non-slip pad or a tether would be a sensible extra.
Yes, you get what you pay for but I had much rather spend our dollars on a getting a better boat to test out those newly developed muscles on.

 Less than expectedJun 24, 2008
Wish I could return the rower. Instructions on putting this piece of equipment together were horrible to understand and the equipment doesn't feel very sturdy. I've never reviewed anything I've purchased before on Amazon, I was compelled to let people know not to purchase this item.
 RecommendJun 22, 2008
Just purchased the Fitness Quest Rower and love it. Easy to assemble with clear directions. The exercise should keep me nimble. A rowing machine was recommended to me by an Exercise Physiologist as moving the most muscles in an exercise. Highly recommend.

I love this rower!Apr 06, 2008
I purchased this for myself and so far I am totally satisfied with this rower. I have never had this kind of exercise machine before but knew I wanted an air rower instead of a piston style as I need to be careful of my shoulders and rotator cuff. Because you are pulling towards you instead of to the side of you it works great.
My husband set it up rather quickly and I was ready to go.
This machine does exactly what I wanted it for. Strengthen my arms, back muscles, legs and abs. An all around exercise.
I read other reviews before I purchased and felt the low price was good for what I needed. I am 5'2, weigh 125 lbs and hope to go down to 115. I have been using for almost a month and have seen a difference already. I work out 3 mornings a week before work doing a different exercise 2 days a week.
I highly recommend to anyone my size. Can't tell you about anyone heavier although it is rated up to 225. (My husband is off limits to it). It isn't perfectly quiet, but I am able to watch the morning news and hear it.
The only thing that would have been better was if it was packaged better. When UPS delivered it the carton was open and one of the foot pedals was out of the carton. Thankfully nothing was missing or broken.
All in all I am very happy with my purchase.

Pretty much satisfiedMar 16, 2008
This is not a $700 rowing machine - I knew that when I bought it. I was looking for a reasonably sturdy, reasonably priced machine to add some variety to my workout routine - anticipated using it 2-3 times per week, more in the cold weather months. I looked at comparable models and it was obvious that I should avoid the piston based machines.
I have seen complaints in other reviews about the packaging and about the product arriving damaged. I found the packaging to be pretty much standard, no more, no less (hint: the manufacturer isn't going to ship this in a vault, and if it arrives damaged ping the shipping co and/or send it back). I had also seen complaints about the assembly instructions. They were a little on the weak side - but this is not rocket surgery. With a little common sense and trial and error everything went fine. Also saw complaints about the fan being noisy - even a $2000 fan-resistance machine is going to be noisy! Yes, it makes noise, it's a freakin' exercise machine! My elliptical trainer is noisier.
There just isn't all that much to the machine as far as assembly goes, and what is there seems to be pretty durable at this point. I did have an annoying squeak that I thought was coming from the seat but finally pinned down to the rear upside-down t-shaped stand. A little lube on the hinge on that and all is good.
Great workout, feels pretty invigorating! I had read an article in Men's Health that said that a 30 minute workout on one of these was great for overall body and cardio. Sat down the first time with the intention of going for 20 minutes. (I have been on a routine for more than a year of almost daily 4 mile walks, with an extra 2.5 mile run on approx. 2 out of 3 of those days, with weights on alternating days) I crawled off the machine in muscle lock-up after SIX minutes!!! What a butt-kicker. I have worked my way up over a couple of weeks of use and can now do 30 minutes with no problem - feels really good and offers a great change of pace to a workout that had gotten a little stale.
I am pretty much completely satisfied with this machine. I might have knocked a half star off for the weak instructions if this site had let me, but I pretty much got more than what I paid for with this purchase.
I would do it again and have recommended this to friends and co-workers.
