After having purchased an inexpensive piston rower (which was not so bad,
by the way) I tried in a fitness shop some magnetic rowers and I found them much better. So I shopped around and I tried the Tunturi R30, The Kettler Coach, the Fitness Quest Integrity 3000, the Water Rower,the Lifecore R900, the Life Span and the Body Craft VR 100. I found that the Body Craft has the best value for money ratio. It is built very well, its ergonomics are handsome, the workout is fantastic, and the price is very acceptable.
I particularly like the position of the footpedals and of the handle-bar,
which I think is perfect.
It also looks like it is very durable and it will last forever. I am very much satisfied, and would recommend it to everyone looking for a classy rower at a very honest price.

Operation is smooth, resistance levels could be a bit more challenging, easy to assemble, if you actually just follow the steps, and you get out what you put into the workout…
I was/am a runner who constantly was sustaining leg injuries of one type or another. I finally yielded to the fact that I needed to seriously cross train and reduce my running. I decided to row, however I abhore having to spend tons of cash on exercise equipment to work out indoors when running is virtually free outside. I originally wanted to spend only a few hundred dollar so at least I could get my work outs in and see if I really liked rowing. After reading every review I could find, I decided that it may be in my best interest to spend more than a few hundred dollars. When I chose the Body Craft VR100 rower I figured that I would still be compromising quality since it was a mid-priced unit. I didn’t want to listen to things click and clack, and have to tighten things that would loosen over time. Much to my amazement, this rower Rocks! It was really easy to put together, the parts are high quality, and the important thing is when you row you don’t even think about the fact that you are on a machine. It’s solid, steady, smooth, and a great workout. I use it 4-5 days a week for 45 mintues each time and have had it for about 1 month. It feels just as good as the day I bought it. If you are thinking about purchasing a rower, I highly recommend this one.

Everything I wanted in a Rowing Machine
I bought this rowing machine as my New Year’s resolution to get back in shape and I hate jogging. I read lots of reviews.

A good product
Like Bodycraft stuff–a good product for the home. Not really built for commercial use but clearly does the job at home.
Very easy to assemble and seems very robust.There are a good spread of exercise levels from gentle to tough but evenly graded in between. This machines action is very smooth,the pull action is progressive and there’s no whiplash of the belt on return.The ergo’s are perfect for me (5ft 7ins )but a much taller person would also fit easily.Can’t fault the seat and it’s great to have the cool air directed at you, so all in all I would say this machine is a good buy and great value.

Simple, and a great workout
I needed a low impact workout that will still challenge me, that I can vary in intensity. A friend recommended this machine, and I’m thrilled with it.

Great rower
This thing is solid. Ignore the comment from one reviewer saying that the front lifts off the ground.

Bought this as a way to exercise through the Cleveland winters. Easy assembly. Have owned it for about two weeks. Easy to work up a sweat.

Got me back to exercising regularly
There aren’t many exercise routines I can do without getting bored or hurt (bad knees) but rowing is reasonably low impact but great all-around.
