This rower was a replacement for a previous machine which I wore out in 2+ years. Am very impressed by the sturdiness and quality fit of the Kettler machine. The rowing motion is very realistic, and the hydraulic cylinders can easily and quickly be adjusted to increase or decrease resistance. You can get an excellent workout without any muscles feeling overstrained. It is very quiet as well. Only three negatives come to mind. The documentation is not that good -- as a result it took me longer to assemble than it otherwise would have. The foot straps appear to be flimsy. And the oar design requires more space on each side of the machine than is typical of other rowing machines. The negatives are minor however, and I'm extremely pleased with the product and expect it to hold up well.
