I was looking for an entry-level machine that was the pulley style with multiple resistances. Since I wasn't willing to invest in an expensive machine for my first rower, I set my sights on models under $500. Boy was I surprised to find that there really aren't that many options in that price range! There are a few more choices if you are willing to forgo multiple resistances but I wasn't.
After much searching I finally came across this unit. I figured for this price I can't go wrong, right?!? Well...
Pros:
Inexpensive rower
Multiple resistances
Pulley style
Cons:
Very poor construction
Computer is a joke (lacks features, not very user friendly, etc.)
LOUD!!!
My particular rower:
*Wobbles (the darn thing isn't even level!)
*The computer doesn't function
*I had to hammer in a few bolts during assembly due to metal defects in holes
*Makes a whining noise when working out
*Is extremely small (was this designed for a child? I'm only 6'0" and feel like I'm a giant on this thing!)
*The seat is very uncomfortable (my bum is completely numb after rowing for 45 minutes)
Even after all those negatives, at the end of the day this rower provides me with a decent workout AND I only paid $200 for the thing! You get what you paid for: a functional, yet very flawed, rowing machine.

This was about the worst exercise product I have ever bought. It has almost no resistance even at the hardest level and the seat keeps coming off when using. Don't waste your money. I don't usually post bad reviews but this thing is worthless to me.

I purchased this about three months ago and it sat in the box for two months. I had a free day and opened the box and had at it. I was done putting it together in about 90 minutes (the instructions are TERRIBLE) but, in the end, everything fit well and all the pieces were there. In terms of using it, for me, it's great. I take it apart each time I use it and put the long piece in one closet and the unit itself in another. I live in a small place so this unit was the only one that I could consider. I run marathons and wanted something to keep me going when it's raining outside or I don't have several hours to run. It takes me five minutes to set it up and it works great. I have nothing to compare it to but I can't think of a single reason to not like this rower. I didn't connect the onboard computer so I can't comment on if that works. In sum, if you need something very small, you have a choice of this or nothing. Luckily, this option is a good one and the price is reasonable.
