Stamina X AMRAP Air Resistance Exercise Rower, 300 lb. Weight Limit

When I first put the machine together there was a slight knocking sound coming from the fan. When I removed the fan cover I discovered a small hex nut stuck to the magnet. I couldn’t find a location for the hex nut so I assume it was picked up by the magnet during assembly at the factory? After I removed the nut the machine worked flawlessly. I use a CONCEPT 2 at the gym as part of Crossfit wod’s on a regular basis. This rower not only equals the gym’s rower but is actually a little more taxing when set at the highest fan level-where most of our Crossfit wods are done at. I’ve gone no further than 5000 meters at a time so far but overall I’ve no complaints after the initial set up. Training for crossfit wods with this rower is excellent because of the increased load over the CONCEPT 2. At the easiest fan setting I notice no difference in 500 meter times compared to the CONCEPT 2.

I had been eating a Concept 2 rower for a long time. This rower seems to be just as good. The PM5 monitor for the Concept 2 is probably the only thing that is better than the Stamina X. But for the $400 cost difference (on sale) I think it was a no brainer. I'm happy so far. Easy to assemble. (Read instructions before you start because you need to use some of the packing foam as a stand while assembling)

I have been using this machine every other day for several weeks now. I was impressed with the quality right out of the box. I had it carefully assembled in about an hour and started rowing. I did buy an after market seat pad because the factory seat alone is pure torture. I'm pretty sure I could never wear this machine out. It is very quiet so I can row away and watch Netflix and lose weight. My New Years resolution is to lose weight and this has really helped. I have dropped 15 pounds so far and have several more to go. So far this year I have not consumed a single soda or candy bar. I hope to go all year with this status.

We would use something similar to this model at our local gym daily. Condensed our workout to just this so we decided to buy one for home so we could save on the trips to gym. I did my research. Turned out that this is even better than the one we used. Thinking about buying another one so we can workout at the same time. The monitor takes two C batteries. It took a while longer to put it together but it was not torturous. My husband hates putting stuff together and did not complain once. Highly please with the results. It is awesome. Plus members have free shipping. No excuses. Love it.

Have been using this rower every day for 20 days. It was easy to put together and easy to use. I feel like it is well built and will hold up through many hours of use. When in use, it is fairly quiet. You can get a good workout in with this rower.

I have been using the Stamina X for about 3 weeks now and absolutely love it. I did a lot of research on the different rowing machines and finally settled on this one from Sam's. The biggest selling point was I could easily return it to a warehouse if there was any problems and was $500 cheaper. I did not want any fancy electronic screens or monthly memberships that went with the machine. This model is almost exactly like the ones used at various gyms that use Concept 2 machines. It arrived quicker than I was expecting and was well packed. It didn't take very long for my husband and I to put it together. It is very sturdy and fairly quiet. I also downloaded the free Workout app that came with the instructions. I really like it and I use the interval training with motivational coach and music to make the time pass quicker and still watch my big screen tv if I want to.

I was looking for a good alternative to a Concept 2 because of price and after much research this was it. Very solid and smooth with good features such as chain pull and damper to adjust resistance. Only minor disappointment is the programs available on the display- wish there were more options. Other that that very satisfied.

Similar to a Concept 2, although the computer/screen is not as versatile. Took about an hour to put together with only one sticking point. Operation so far (two weeks in) is fine. I've used Concept 2 rowers exclusively in CrossFit, and this is an excellent, slightly cheaper, home gym alternative.

Machine delivered to doorstep on time specified. Assembly was accomplished in about an hour, requires two people for some parts of assembly. Proper tools included. Used that day, a smooth, excellent machine, sturdy and relatively quiet. Everything it said it was and would be. A real pleasure (well, it is exercise) to use.

I've had the rower about a month or so now. Assembly was easy and pretty straight forward. The machine seems well built, the only negative I have to say about it is, it has a slight vibration in the fan when using it. Nothing bad, and this may be normal for these types of rowers. I've never used any other rower before so I have nothing to compare it to. The other thing is more me learning how to use the machine than anything else, but I sometimes struggle to find the catch at the beginning of the stroke right away. So there is more slack than I think there should be, but I'm confident that this is more user error and improper form than anything else. I'm slowly getting the hang of it though. It gives a heck of a workout for me, and I look forward to using it for many years to come.
