- some good, some bad
The machine works well and is easy to adjust. It is comfortable. It has not been particularly durable. The first week I had it, one of the hydraulic devices broke loose from the frame. Stamina replaced it with no problem. After a few more uses, one of the four wheels the seat rides on "flat-spotted". It will cost me 25 bucks to get replacement wheels. I don't use it a great deal, so I kind of wonder how well it would hold up under really aggressive, frequent use. Still, since it is so inexpensive, I guess you get what you pay for.

- Good Value - Great Workout
Simply put - this product works great for the price. Assembly was fairly simple, less than 1 hr. I've been using it for 3 weeks and would certainly buy this rower again!

- Great Value - Great Workout
I jokingly told my husband that I wanted to sit down while exercising and thought a rower would fit the bill. Now that I have it, I use it everyday for 30+ minutes. I am 6' tall and it has plenty of length to stretch out. It sits in my basement, so storage is not an issue, but it would fit under a bed if needed.
The glides have not broke down as mentioned in another review nor have the hydraulics.
I do not care for the foam handle covers and imagine they will eventually fall apart. I will look for hard rubber replacements if this happens.

The 1205 is a good value for the money and the one to experiment with if you are not sure a rower is something you would like.

- Great rower
I work out at least 6 days a week. Running has become very painful for me, and I was looking for an exercise that would compliment my workout just as well as running does. This rower works great for me. I am sure you could probably purchase a much nicer rower for more money, but this one suits me great. I am 5'2", and I don't have any problems with using it daily. It took me a couple of hours to put it together, but I am a female and blonde so I think that's pretty good doing it alone.

- ROWER
I took a chance and purchased this item based on the reviews. They were right on target with what they said. I was able to assemble it more quickly after reading one of the reviews on how the instructions were demonstrated. It works well for the price and it is used by 2 people for 3 hours per day. I would recommend it and also recommend reading the other reviews before assembling. Amazon had the best deal for this item.
