Stamina X Water Rower

Solid, well-engineered and constructed, and the packaging was an engineering marvel in itself. Not much assembly required, was not missing any hardware, and needed tools were provided. I’m 6’3” tall with 37” inseam measurement and with my legs fully extended there remains approximately 6” more seat travel. I filled the water bowl to the maximum level mark with distilled water - took 3-1/2 gallons. I use to this day a Stamina stair stepper I purchased around 1990, so I have reasonable expectations for comparable equipment longevity for this rower (which is considerably more durably built). This is literally my first rowing machine use, so I have no other rowing machines to compare to. I was a bit disappointed that the resistance wasn’t greater, but it should still serve me well for the planned twice weekly 30-minute early morning warm-up/workout (I have various other aerobic machines used on other mornings). It’s very quiet and smooth operating, foot rests are solidly built and mounted (love the foot restraint straps), and I was surprised with the seat design and comfort. Would I purchase again? Let you know, maybe, in a decade or two.
