What Customers Are Saying
Users mentioned that although this rower is louder than other manufactured rowers, none of them seemed to be bothered by it. The noise is typical of that you would hear from wind-resistance powered machines. You won’t find any annoying creaking noises while rowing the Stamina Air Rower, which is common on some cheaper machines. Some people weren’t a fan of the angled seat rail as it made that initial push a bit tougher.
A user pointed out that the foot plates were solid enough to row efficiently with or without shoes on. It appears that taller and shorter users have used the rower with no issues. The extra comfortable seat was a common feature that users raved about.
“It gives a terrific, total body workout…tones all the muscles, gives good cardio exercises, and offers plenty of resistance. It’s easy to use and offers low impact workouts.”
“I use the more expensive rower at the Y sometimes and find that the Stamina is just as good. Highly recommended!”
“I’m currently training for a marathon and have found this rower to be an excellent tool for working the back, quads and my arms. Love that it has no cords to mess with. Has a pretty small footprint as well.”
Conclusion
Overall, the Stamina Air Rower is a great addition to your fitness routine. Some may argue that it may not be suitable for heavy duty use, but others have done so with no problems. For those looking for a full body workout machine, the Air Rower will suit just fine. Don’t think that the machine doesn’t offer adjustable resistance because resistance is in reality determined by your rowing intensity.
