Everything I wanted in a Rowing Machine

I bought this rowing machine as my New Year's resolution to get back in shape and I hate jogging. I read lots of reviews. I needed something small and well built, but not too expensive. This was the perfect machine. I keep it in my basement and even with the fan blowing, I can still hear my TV...

A good product

Like Bodycraft stuff--a good product for the home. Not really built for commercial use but clearly does the job at home. The build is good enough neither creaky nor rock solid--the front end plastic--is just that plastic. The machine is not quiet--no unhealthy grating sounds, just a lot of...

Simple, and a great workout

I needed a low impact workout that will still challenge me, that I can vary in intensity. A friend recommended this machine, and I'm thrilled with it.Opening the box was daunting. The instructions include an exploded parts view with many, many parts that made the machine look very complex. In...

Great rower

This thing is solid. Ignore the comment from one reviewer saying that the front lifts off the ground. When properly set up for rowing, the middle leg is locked in place above the ground. There's no way the front could lift when only the front and back legs are touching the ground. The middle...

Great for overall exercise

This machine is well-built, easy to assemble and provides a great overall workout. It is a solid machine and it appears to be one that will last for years.

No Way Is This Thing 5 Stars

I tried every rowing machine made, and this VR100 is the one of the worst, I have no idea who came up with 5 stars for this complete Piece-O-Garbage. Yea, it is cheap, but 5 stars, no way. The computer is weak at best, the seat does not glide very smoothly, the foot holders are a joke, and the...

This rowing machine ROCKS!

I was/am a runner who constantly was sustaining leg injuries of one type or another. I finally yielded to the fact that I needed to seriously cross train and reduce my running. I decided to row, however I abhore having to spend tons of cash on exercise equipment to work out indoors when running...

It works and looks like a much more expensive rower.

After having purchased an inexpensive piston rower (which was not so bad,by the way) I tried in a fitness shop some magnetic rowers and I found them much better. So I shopped around and I tried the Tunturi R30, The Kettler Coach, the Fitness Quest Integrity 3000, the Water Rower,the Lifecore...

VR 100 Rowing Machine

Bought this as a way to exercise through the Cleveland winters. Easy assembly. Have owned it for about two weeks. Easy to work up a sweat.Two negatives: the fan is louder than I anticipated and there is no way to disengage it necessitating high volume of music/TV while rowing. Polar heartrate...

Got me back to exercising regularly

There aren't many exercise routines I can do without getting bored or hurt (bad knees) but rowing is reasonably low impact but great all-around. This machine is a great value given its variable levels of magnetic-assist resistance on top of the basic air resistance. It folds up nicely when you...
