For those who you who have owned this rower for at least 6 mos and used it regularly during this time, do you find you still performs as you'd hoped?

Yes, it works great! Have had no issues and I use it regularly. I would highly recommend!

Yes it does. My son and daughter who are avid exercisers say that this rower has much more of a workout than those typically found in the gym. My daughter said it was like a P90X rower. I am very satisfied with this rower as I have had no problems with it. I bought it to put some regular exercise into my daily routine.

Have had it for about four months, not quite six yet, but it still has the same resistance and works just like new. This rower gets used more than an hour every day, and the pistons get a workout.

We've used our machine a lot with no problems. The paddle seems durable enough to me.

Mr. Philip, you sir jumped to the conclusion that this is for still water instead of sparkling. But if I accept your contention that it will be still, then I recommend water purified by equatorial trade winds, surrounded by ancient volcanoes, bottled on a remote island, then flown via a Gulfstream G650 at a speed to 610 mph to my gym. The water should be changed daily for maximum freshness. Discerning rowers might instead fill this rower with a really lovely Château d'Yquem (I prefer the 2001) hand selected in Gironde, France.

Ours is about 6 years old and still working, although noticeably slower that when we got it. We brew an average of 4 to 6 cups a day. Even though we de-scale it about 2 to 3 times a years, I have the sense that it's suffering from "hardening of the arteries" due to age. We're planning on purchasing a replacement soon, however, it will be downstreamed to one of our sons. And why not? It still works fine . . . it's just a bit slower than we would like.

It's my favorite machine (bike, stepper, treadmill). Works legs and upper body, cardio & pulmonary. I watch movies and row for an hour pretty regularly. 1000-2000 strokes. The adjustable tension/hydraulic cylinder is great. I increase resistance as a limber up. I'm 63, had open heart surgery in October, like to cycle c. 30 miles and am in decent shape. But this is great!

I've had mine for several years now, use it often and for long periods, and I've not had any problems. I will admit that I go out of my way to take care of my equipment and use it properly.

I got one a year ago and it's still going strong. Recently a friend's first one had a dead motor. He returned it and got a replacement; it could not be trimmed to hover. I think quality control has slipped.

I have had my machine for two years this month, and still like it! I generally sew mid-weight fabrics (clothing alternations, bags/purses) and it's going strong. Struggles a bit with thick layers like seams on denim, and sometimes very lightweight fabrics get tangled, but work slow and it's fine. I don't use a lot of the decorative stitch options, but everything seems to be in good working order.

We have had the product for some time now. We have gone on vacation for a week or so at a time and have never had any issues with its performance. Definitely no issues after just a few hours.

Can you or anyone who has used this iron beyond its initial period tell me if it has begun to "spew", leak or sputter? I have had several Rowenta irons in the past and they invariably sputter and drip eventually and create lots of ironing headaches. How is this one doing after owning it for a longer time? Thanks.

The reason I bought it was its high rating. When it comes to kitchen gadgets, I usually go quality over cost. Going cheap tends to lead to burned food or re-buying the gadget. That being said, I've had mine for about 6 years and it has never failed me. Alton did motivate me to buy one, but I did not specifically seek out the model he used.

Did you ever find a rowing machine for your height? I am the same height and am running into similar issues.Thanks

Had mine for about a year, still performing great. GREAT 6gal aquarium. I've noticed over the past year that when water is low or needed....it is loads in the rest filter and pump area than in the front. I will always add water to the rest chambers.

The nice thing about water resistance rowers is that your rowing speed controls resistance. My wife and I are different strengths but the rower works great for both of us. Can't recommend this enough.

I've had it for about 6 months now. I use it daily and haven't had any issues.
