We are very pleased with this bike/rower. It shipped much faster than promised, was easy to assembly and is easy to operate. It is smooth sailing to use, and no trouble to switch exercises in the middle of a workout, which helps us stay at it for more than 30 minutes. And it is quite enough to use while the TV is on in the same room and not disturb anyone. We are very satisfied with our purchase.

Easily assembled. A little longer than I expected but I found the room.
Nice and quiet which I really like.
Easily changes over from bike to rowing machine
Like the readout too – large enough to read easily
Only drawback was my heart rate monitor chest belt doesn’t work with the machine. I have to still wear my watch when I work out. . . otherwise it’s a great deal and a great price. No shipping charges which really really helped.
I checked around locally and nobody could get close to this price from Amazon!!

This unit is quiet and well made. Love how easy it is to convert to either exercise. My only complaint would be the angle of chair for biking, would like it more straight but otherwise love the machine.

We purchased this bike to help strengthen legs after an illness. . . it is exactly what it says it is. . . . we(both my husband and I) have been using it almost daily for the past three weeks. . . it was worth every penny. We needed a rower with a backed seat and this met the need. We would recommend it to anyone looking to strengthen legs and core.

Opened and assembled the recumbent bike and rower yesterday. First of all the box came pretty beat-up. Aside from a few scuffs to the machine, there was a broken (albeit non essential) piece of plastic not important enough to send the whole thing back. Assembly was a jiff. But when we (my wife and I) got on to use it. . . well that is where we departed on our opinions. The wife like the bike and did OK on the rower. I found the pedals too small on the bike and the rower was just useless. . . maybe I am spoiled with top-end rower ergs. But it was a bit “jerky” on the catch with a thud and the reach is just too short for a person 5+ feet. I like to have a greater range for reach and pull than what this machine can provide. I have to gove the bike a 6 out of 10 and the rower a 2 our to 10. So if you are a big time rower. . . don’t buy this machine.
