I have been dealing with health issues from long covid so i gave not been able to leave my home much for months now. I purchased this as an attempt to get in some exercise and to help me lose the 10 lbs i gained being out of work for now. I have been using it 3 to 4 times a day doing 100 reps per set, doing 50 with overhand grip and 50 with underhand grip. It is a great workout that affects calves, thighs, back, shoulders, neck, back the the arms, biceps, and forearms. It was very simple to assemble and is small enough that the size is perfect for my apartment. The cost is very low as an entry level quiet rowing machine. The quality of the machine is pretty great in my opinion, holds up well. Overall the performance of this machine is fantastic. I have had it for weeks now and the only wear i see on it is a little bit on the paint where the seat travels back and forth. I know others have complained about the seats size and comfort... i have had no issue with the seat at all and find it plent comfortable. The resistance bands are covered in woven fabric that seems good quality, havent noticed any fraying at all. The bar grip is good too, padded on both sides and easy to grip. The readout is fairly simple on the display so very easy to understand.
