Stamina Avari 12 Program Cardio Exercise Magnetic Rower Machine, White

I got the rowing machine for my birthday and I love it. Easy to assemble. Programs are nice and easy to use. The machine folds up easily for storage. Very quiet.

Purchased this rower two months ago because my previous rower was so loud. This Avari Programable Rower is by far the best I've ever tried,even the ones I've tried in gyms don't compare. I love the screen display and how quite this machine is. It's built to last and very robust..I would recommend this rower to anyone.

Easy to set up and nice to use.

Hi, I am seventy one years old and have been using my rower about a month, I row about ten miles per day and have been increasing the tension weekly, I feel great! My grandson purchased it for me as I was complaining that I have not been as active as I used to be, it has done the trick!!!

Only had the Avari rower for 2 weeks, and love it. Easy to assemble, workouts are a pleasure. A complete workout at home. Bought it because of the current pandemic. Not sure I'll be renewing my gym membership. Delivery within a few days and the price was a steal

We bought the rowing machine at the beginning of the stay-at-home order and have used it everyday since. It is a great workout machine for the whole family and we each have our own favorite programs. It is replacing my usual exercise which is lap swimming. When the pool opens back up I'm sure not I will return.

Overall a good rower. Its quiet and seat is comfortable. The built in programs are useful. Its not as easy to navigate the screen/menu options, they could have made it more intuitive. Also the folding mechanism is not straightforward - one has to unscrew a large center screw to fold up the long part of the rower. And the center screw is very tight.

Rower is quiet but not silent.Need to plug in rower.Coming from using a multi adjustable arm rower [cylinder type] this rower is very different.Having a straight bar and only being able to go straight forward/back is kinda boring,and i find it harder on my arms as they remain stationary. Thats not a fault of this rower,more of a condition of me rowing since 90's on adjustable arm rowers. It does have lots of programs but you will have to row awhile to reach the end of each program.....i rarely rowed longer then 30 mins,but i use to jack my rower up a few feet which helped me climb mountains with much less effort.One could likely jack this rower up as well but not sure how that would effect the proper form you are suppose to follow on these straight bar rowers. Being honest its been hard getting use to this straight bar rower,its magnetic but would make no difference if it was air or water.Feels like my arms should be bolted onto the bar because they really dont more from that position,so its been hard coming over from a fully adjustable moveable arm rower.What isnt hard is no squeaking,no squeaks yet,cylinder type rowers are greatly known for almost always squeaking,usually coming from the seat but not limited and will squeak at footrests and cylinder[s]........this unit here also glides on a few more wheels on the seat so it should last longer and hopefully remain quiet. Id say the price is ok.........but ALL stuff these days is overpriced for the most part,and i dont like that either. I'd say if your used to straight bar rowers,or never rowed before,this rower so far seems to be good,and if you like to row for longer periods the programs will give you something to row to.The rower itself looks to be solid,dont see any future problems with frame nor seat,and rower is heavier due to magnetic gear upfront so it dont move around during rowing.One possible area i can see that might not hold up to tough hard pulls is where the straight bar connects to a nylon type webbing cord,the nylon is wrapped once around the bar and then sewed.......i could see that sew area coming apart in the future.No gripes with this rower but havent used alot due to my story above.

We are new to rowing and haven't been much for exercising generally, but wanted a simple option to get in better shape. After some research these seemed to be a good-midlevel unit. We've had this for a couple of weeks and we really like it. Certain body parts take a little time to get used to the activity (e.g., my bum), but it's going well. It's very quiet so we can watch a show while doing it, no problem. I haven't played much with the bells and whistles yet, just set a basic program for 30 minutes and went at it. The unit seems pretty solid and I expect it to last a couple years, but time will tell. Our one complaint is that it came with a bent metal part (part of the front leg mount)...I toyed with returning it or something, but didn't want the hassle, so in the end I bent it back into shape with some heavy pliers. It's not a moving part and shouldn't affect anything. It was very hard to bend so it wasn't something that happened in shipping (the packaging seemed very good), it must have happened on the factory floor and wasn't caught by quality control I guess.

My husband and I decided to get more serious about working out and thought rowing would be a great way to do it at home after our young kids go to bed. It's really quiet so perfect for keeping the kids asleep. It is a bit of a disappointment though in two ways for me: I've not gotten sore from any workouts on this machine and lower calorie burning than I expected. I've been working out for many years and know how I feel after a good workout but haven't gotten there with this rower. Conversely more husband has gotta. Sore and feels he can get a good workout in. Overall if you know you want a rower that can fold and that is quiet this is a really good one but I prefer spending 20-30 minutes on a Jillian Michaels or Insanity workout.
