Great product. Probabaly the best rower I have ever used. I wish more gyms would invest in the Fluid Rower rather than the typical Concept II Rower. Qualities just can't compare.

I use the product 4 days a week and love it. I have owned this since mid January 2008. I did a lot of research and selected a water resistance rower as I believed the feature set best matched my requirements. I wanted something that could give years of trouble free use. I wanted something relatively quiet. I wanted something of very high quality. I also didn't want something that I would regret buying later on, or wish I had got something better if I had bought the cheapest possible rower.
My only negative comment is that like with many products, the setup manual could use large colour photos and a completely new approach. This setup guide has very small black and white drawings that are vague at best.
They all tended to be close up view points which do not help with understanding the bigger picture. More etail is needed. It took a few hours to put it together with a friend.
However - the rower itself is an excellent example of fine engineering and has a high degree of build quality.
I had this shipped to Point Roberts, WA and then drove down across the border to collect it and to pay duty and taxes to the Canadian border post. This saved considerable shipping expenses.

The water rower is great. I feel like I'm on the water. At first if feels smooth and easy and before you even realize it you are in the middle of a great workout! This item is also more reasonably priced than wood models..and just as effective.

I had a dinghy at Coyote Point marina for 10 years as a child and loved the excercise and relaxation of rowing. The fluid rower comes the closest to the real thing that I have ever tried
