Great Rower For The Money
I have had this rower for a week now and it has been working great. The first rower I bought (a different brand of rower) broke down after 15 min of use, but the Stamina Body Glider is well built and very easy to use. The instruction booklet is very clear. It only took a few minutes to put the machine together.

The amount of resistance is adjustable and the machine is very quiet. The only noise you hear is from the shock absorber type device which provides the resistance. It looks and feels like a more expensive piece of equipment, but provides the same type of workout that those higher priced models provide. Relatively lightweight, the Stamina Body Glider comes in at around 35lbs. The light weight makes it easy to move the machine around. I am thoroughly satisfied with this machine so far and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a rower.

A fantastic rower for this price!
.
PROS:
a. Real rowing (oar-like) action, rather than just pulling on a single T-bar.
b. Comfortable even with tall people (I'm 6'1').
c. Adjustable rowing tension.
d. A very sturdy, rigid, and well-built frame.
e. Easy to assemble.
f. Takes little room to use.
g. Very low cost (one hundred twenty dollars).

CONS:
a. The seat is not well padded.
b. The unit creaks and squeaks a bit until it is warmed-up.
c. No instructions explaining how to actually row properly. (I found some great videos and info on the Web, however, that instruct as to how to use rowing machines).

You simply cannot beat this Stamina Body Trac Rowing Machine at this very low cost -- it is an amazing deal!

Fine if you're tall with big feet
I usually find the reviews to be really helpful here and have never felt compelled to complain about a product but this machine is just too big for me. I'm 5'4" and wear a 7 1/2 shoe, my feet absolutely will not stay in the pedals. My knees felt stressed and painful after using the machine for a few minutes and my knee constantly hit the middle track. No matter what I do I cannot seem to get this machine to work well with mw.

My husband is taller, 5'11", and it seems to be fine for him but if your a smaller woman I do not suggest getting this machine.
