I've been shopping around for an air rower for my garage gym for a while now. My choices seemed to be either spend way too much money on a Concept 2 or get a cheap one that might break on me at any moment. I'm really glad I finally came across this rower from Marcy. It is a little more expensive than some of the cheaper models, but it won't break the bank.
Some of the reviews were a little negative with regards to the amount of resistance from this machine. From what I can tell, this seems to be user error. Most air rowers are quite simple in how they function. If you don't pull hard or go fast, then you don't get much resistance. If you pull harder or go faster, you get more resistance. I did intervals on this rower last night, and according to my Garmin, my max heart rate got up to 195 bpm. I'll let you decide if I got a good workout.
It does seem to walk a bit when you really get going. The mat I had it on was sliding forward in the garage while I was rowing. I wasn't actually expecting to be able to get anywhere on this rower, but I guess I could slowly make it to the corner store if I wanted to. This issue was easily remedied. I just put some of my weight plates on the mat, and there was no more moving. Since I'm not sure if the movement was because of the mat or the machine, I won't knock any stars off.
I'm a certified personal trainer on the side, and I have other products from Marcy (weight bench and a cage), and I've been impressed with their quality. This air rower is not an exception.

Great bargain turbine rower
By Chicomono on February 24, 2021
Knew I wasn't buying a top of the line rower, but was still dismayed when the pull strap started to fold and fray after only 7 uses. Customer service is sending a replacement no questions asked though. Otherwise seems like a great value for the money. The display is a little primitive, but it does the trick for my home gym. I'm 6'5" 210 lb, very experienced rower and there is plenty of resistance on the lowest setting for a good aerobic workout. Don't let some meat head crossfitter convince you otherwise.
