Works great!
This machine is a great rower. Easy to assemble in a couple hours, very easy to use and is whisper quiet. Fair price for a very good product.

After using this exercise machine for about a month (9 total exercise hours), I have found it is basically a good machine for the price. After 4 hours of use, one of the hydraulic shocks developed a “dead spot” at the start of the stroke. I called the Stamina toll free number for customer support. They sent out a replacement shock which seems to be working OK.
The 4 roller wheels on the seat slide are molded plastic. They aren’t exactly round so they “rumble” a little bit. It would be nice if they were smooth without mold marks on the running surfaces.

Good machine, Bad quality
The machine was pretty good. Unfortunetaly, after using it for about two weeks, one of the hydraulic shocks broke.

I bought this Stamina 1215 rower two weeks ago. After 10 days of use, the rollers that allow the seat to move up and down the frame as one rows collapsed. Naturally I’d already tossed out all the packing materials and the box. Oh, well. What I did was, I transplanted the arms, and the hydraulic resistance units (think cheap shock absorbers) onto a 20-year old Altero rower – the resistance units for that gave up some time ago, and that company is out of business, but now it’s back on the road, using the Stamina’s resistance units. Compared to this one, that old Altero is built like a tank. This one is, in my estimation, worth maybe $15. Yes, it’s less expensive than the similar Kettler, and which now wish I’d sprung for; but it’s also not worth the $279 currently being charged for it, in my estimation. All the parts are cheap and designed to be sold, as opposed to having been designed to be used. The “computer” is a cheapie and its little screen is tough to see. Do yourself a favor: Give this one a pass. It’s a horrible piece of crap.

I received this rowing machine as a gift from my husband for my birthday. It really takes 2 people to assemble it because one person needs to hold the wrench while the other person torques it down. The assembly instructions were easy to follow. The quality of the product is excellent. The only complaint I have is when you adjust the tension of the machine, you have to turn the tension knob really, really tight, otherwise, it releases the tension. This rowing machine is very quiet and performs smoothly. I would highly recommend this machine.

orbital rower
I like this rower. I can just exercise my arms if I get tired and can do a variety of exercises on it.
