I have gained this rowing machine because of the reviews. The aim is to reduce my weight from currently 96 kg to less than 90 kg while exercising to get fit easily back muscles and stamina. For device everything is actually already been said. Prompt and timely delivery, the quality of the parts seems to be at first glance, good, stable and nothing squeaks or rattles. Despite my size of 1,93m and relatively long legs I have no problems with the track. Even fully extended I still have air to the rear. Since I have rather neglected my sports program in recent years and am therefore really untrained, I first decided on a smaller stage. I row every day now 2000 m at level 5 and 6, which corresponds to about 300 strokes of the oars. After 1000 meters, I start to feel it in the arms and legs. And after 2000 meters I need a shower. Hence the device so far meets my needs completely. Until I reached my goal of 5000 m at level 8 it will therefore take some time. And then do you enable magnetic braking system, as described in another review, yes even modify to get a little more resistance. I use it in my apartment, and I need not be afraid of annoyed neighbors to have, because it really is very quiet!
