Spartan Sports Magnetic Rower Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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 isstill 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.

Phoenix 98900 Power Rower Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We were looking for a reasonably priced rowing machine and the MR 900 was one of the few reviewed.It has a tension adjustment knob at the base, so that you can increase your workout.The seat slides easily and the handlebar pulls back fine.As a smaller woman, I find the footpedal position a bit awkward and despite the velcro strip, I can't quite get the right fit.The other review that I saw for this machine also mentioned that the footpads were not as well placed as they might be.Phoenix could really improve their machine by allowing some adjustment in height and better width grip on this feature.The display is fine, but the calorie count seems off--either that or I'm just not working as hard as I think I am.I don't think it accounts for the quickness with which you pull or your body weight and might just be taking into account the tension, time, and number of pulls.Overall, I'm really pleased.My stomach, legs, and arms get a nice workout.I guess the trick is to emphasize using your back with your stomach and legs vs. forearms, which I am still trying to get used to.If you are concerned with noise, the seat motion causes no noise, but the air on the pull definitely does.If you've got an iPod or mp3 player it won't matter, though.

LifeSpan Fitness RW1000 Rowing Machine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I loved this rower at first, although if you have small feet, it's difficult to keep them from pulling out of the pedals while rowing. 6 broken straps, several emails to Lifespan (they did replace them for me), a change to a different type of shoe, and that problem was finally fixed. Then the pulleys started to break. Ordered a new set and replaced those (those I had to buy). Now the flywheel will not recoil. Took it apart...I would have to replace the magnetic wheel assembly. It's time to give up, it just wasn't made to be used. I used this rower for 2 1/2 years. My last rower was a cheap old piston type, it lasted 12 years. I finally broke the frame. I used the rower 4 times a week, this one just couldn't hold up. And, no, I'm not some 350 pound body builder...I barely make it over 5 feet and am under 135 pounds. I don't think I should be killing rowing machines.
