  Not Without flaws but basics are sound

  This is the new generation of the "Stamina Conversion II Recumbent / Rower". I purchased it because it was $100 cheaper than the Stamina. After assembly I can see no difference in the two except the shape of the housing around the pedal assembly and the separate pedestal for the computer.Pros:Both the bike and the rower work well. Good range of resistance, I dare you to set it on 6 or above and tug on it for an hour, however I started out weak as a fledgling with a setting of 3 and it didn't kill me.Folds up to be fairly compact...The bike and rower are both very quiet in operation.I removed the computer and re-purposed the computer mount with some help of a 3" piece of PVC from the hardware store.

  Mine all mine

  My gym used to have tons of reading racks until one day there were only three. Those three racks became a hot commodity and disputes arose daily. Finally I got tired of the nonsense and decided to research purchasing my own. This was no easy task. All of the racks I found were clear. I wanted a rack that would be undoubtedly my own. FINALLY, I found a black one on Amazon. It cost twice the price of a clear one but I was not going to quible. I now have the rack. It is black and very sturdy. I have prominently marked my name on the front and back. I love it. 5/5 APH - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

  Durable and ergonomic

  I bought this to take to the gym with me, because the gym's book holders seem to be either missing or cracked and chipped beyond usability. The design works well, with a deeper shelf on one end to hold thicker books or to clip over a thicker machine. I was pleasantly surprised by how tough the plastic is; much more durable than the ones at the gym. 5/5 Marcy Davis (Keizer, OR United States) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

  Not meant to actually be used

  I loved this rower at first, although if you have small feet, it's difficult to keep them from pulling out of the pedals while rowing. 6 broken straps, several emails to Lifespan (they did replace them for me), a change to a different type of shoe, and that problem was finally fixed. Then the pulleys started to break. Ordered a new set and replaced those (those I had to buy). Now the flywheel will not recoil. Took it apart...I would have to replace the magnetic wheel assembly. It's time to give up, it just wasn't made to be used. I used this rower for 2 1/2 years. My last rower was a cheap old piston type, it lasted 12 years. I finally broke the frame. I used the rower 4 times a week, this one just couldn't hold up. And, no, I'm not some 350 pound body builder...I barely make it over 5 feet and am under 135 pounds. I don't think I should be killing rowing machines. 1/5 T. J. Stewart (Burnsville, MN, US) - See all my reviews, March 5, 2010

  Good rower, not the best

  I bought my LifeSpan rower about a year ago and have used it a lot with no major problems. It does the job and seems to be a good value for the money, but it definately is not a performance rower.PROS:CheapCompactFolds EasilySimple Digital Display lasts a very long time one one batteryCONS:No chain, the pull mechanism is a strap of fabric.Plastic wheels support the seat and pull movement. Mine have note worn out yet but they're not that smooth and they do feel as if they have worn down significantly during the year that I have used my rower.The pull movement creates no momentum as with a fan or water resisting model, so you really cant build up much inertia and each pull feels like you're starting from a stp, which is not mych like real rowing.All in all it's a good unit but if you're looking for something that will really take a beating and last a long time and also emulate the feel of rowing much better,... 3/5 James D.

  Great Product; be careful with shipping!

  We ordered this product to help in a revamping of our exercise program, and it is absolutely great in that mission. The device assembles very easily and quickly; 15 minutes or less if you lay the parts out. There are two major assemblies, and you just attach the seat and put the two pieces together. In action, the device is smooth and quiet, and it can give you a very good workout in a relatively short period of time. The electronics package is good; the only issue some may have is that changing rowing resistance doesn't appear to change the calorie count.The only problem we had was with Amazon in shipping. This is shipped in two boxes but for some reason Amazon seems to lose sight of that fact on its own tracking. If the two boxes become separated (which ours did) and only one is delivered, they show status as "delivered". I called customer service to try to get them to help with the other box and they continually insisted that the order was one box and was... 5/5 T.

  Excellent Recumbent/Rower!

  I bought this because it was both a recumbent bike and a rower. I am very happy with this product because the quality is the best I have had with any fitness equipment I own. It is so quiet and sturdy and easy to use. I can go from bike to rower in seconds, making it easy to rotate every couple of miles if desired.The extra bonus is that you can use it for strength training by just pulling the resistant bar while standing. And a few other options are shown in the book that comes with it.I would recommend this product for the quality and ease of use. Easy to fold up if needed. 5/5 B.

  Coincidence or poorly manufactured equipment?

  I ordered the Stamina Deluxe Conversion II, knowing that it would be an excellent addition to my home gym. After assembling it, I saw that the tension knob and the spring pin knob were cracked, making it impossible to use w/o taping it together (which I did, just to see how the unit worked). I liked the unit, but it was ridiculous to pay that much for something in order to "tape it together" so I contacted Stamina and they would not return my calls or e-mails. Amazon (from whom I had purchased it) graciously replaced it with a new one. When the new one arrived, I examined it thoroughly before the delivery person left. After assembling it, I started to work out and there was such a loud squeaking noise, it was impossible to use. I persevered, thinking that there was something that "needed to be worked out" but it got worse.

  old-style rowing machine - works GREAT

  I wanted a plain, simple rower that was easy to assemble and simple to use. This is just the ticket!! Follow the instructions exactly, and she goes together in a few short minutes. The cylinders are stiff, so it is a tough pull for a few weeks while they break in. Great value and was exactly what we wanted. 5/5 S.

  As expected

  Just got my rowing machine in this week. Super fast delivery! The instruction sheet is not real easy to read but once you get started it goes together pretty easy. The other reviewers who said that it needs to be broken in are correct. It's a little tight at first but does loosen up. It's fairly sturdy and what I expected for the price. I'm happy with it so far. No issues to bring up. I'm 5.5 and it fits me perfectly. My husband is 6.1 and he fits although his legs don't extend out fully. His knees are slightly bent, but that should not be an issue. The only thing to mention is that the electronic console comes off real easy. It doesn't lock on the way that you would expect or if it does I haven't figured out how to do it yet. We have never owned a rowing machine before but used one in the gym. The price on this one makes it an easy choice for us. 4/5 Beldarann - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

It is sturdy and slips right over the elliptical's monitor.

  Pretty good workout

  I've never had a rower before and when running was tearing up my joints, I decided to try something else. The low impact on your body is great, although I'm a bit disappointed about the calorie count. It's about a quarter of what I used to burn when running, but that makes sense, as you're not exerting as much energy. My settings are at maximum, but I could still use more. Overall, the machine does what it's supposed to do and I'm happy with it so far. 4/5 Sam Hughes Jr. "Sam" (Norfolk, VA USA) - See all my reviews, April 14, 2011

  The foot pedals are not adjustable and that makes it difficult for a 5'4" ot shorter person to reach the pedals while rowing.

  I would recommend for beginner only

  This is a good machine for beginners which I am. The cost was worth it for me. The timer and count is cheesy but it serves it's purpose. Despite the instructions saying it will take 2 people 40 minutes to assemble, I did it myself in 20 minutes. However, I will note that you'll need to be a little mechanically inclined. The assembly instructions was on one page and half of it I had to make an educated guess on how to assemble it.

  Simple Machine that Provides a Great Total Body Workout

  Background: I have severe arthritis in my knee and can no longer perform exercises that impact the joint (even lengthy walks) without experiencing considerable pain. After using Lifecore Fitness' excellent 900 RB recumbent bike for the past 8 months, for a low impact good cardio workout, I recently purchased the company's R88 rower to exercise upper body muscles and provide an alternative to the bike. The rower was easy to assemble and took approximately 1/2 hour. The instructions are clearly written and well illustrated.Using the Rower: This machine is very easy to use. The first two days I limited my moderately paced workouts to 20 minutes on resistance setting #2. (Note: Most product descriptions -- including Amazon's -- state that the R88 has 8 resistance settings but this model only has 6 resistance settings, which is clearly specified on the shipping box and manual.) After two days I felt a pleasant soreness throughout my body (legs, abdomen, arms, chest, shoulders,... 5/5 George Miller - See all my reviews, October 23, 2009

  R88 Rowing Machine: Good Workout

  The R88 is the best choice for rowers under $1,000. The combination of air and magnetic resistance is a great design. There are six resistance selections on the R88, not eight as described. The first and lowest selection is air resistance only, and the air coming through the vent will keep you cool. The display could be updated as the background screen is a dull gray. Initially, my rower wasn't counting the strokes or distance (you can set it to count the strokes down from a set number or count up). I called Lifecore tech support and they said the sensors (there are two) near the fan wheel probably got loose during shipping. They suggest I pop the outer shell loose to check the sensor, and I did. The wires and sensor seemed secure but whatever I did made it work. The only critique I have is about the way the foot pads are mounted; I wished the foot pads would be almost level with the frame instead of lower.
