Stamina Products Avari 12 Programmable Cardio Exercise Monitor Magnetic Rower Machine with LCD Display and Heart Rate Tracker, White

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] the magnets make it quiet, and it folds up and goes in the closet. it is great. negatives are : my kid accidentally twisted the belt, and this caused the twist to move inside the machine, and then rub on a screw. This damaged the belt. I opened up the machine, and fixed the twist, and clipped the screw that had damaged the belt. I have ordered a new belt for cheap. if you want to avoid this, buy a more expensive cable rowing machine. but if you are ok w a "pretty good" product, or you think you will never twist the belt, this is the one.

Very good solid machine. Price is even better compared to other brands with same results. This machine in does not taking a lot of space in my small apartment. FedEx delivery was super fast :)

I love this rower. The seat is comfortable and I love the preprogrammed workouts. Very effective and gets my exercise goals accomplished.

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

Seems to be a quality machine so far. Not hard to assemble. Provides good workout and seat slides easily. Hardly any noise when in use. Follow directions to not overtighten the bolt that allows the slide to fold up when not in use. Also put hand under pivot area when removing and installing large pin that secures the slide in place. Makes the pin much easier to turn. Overall, very happy with purchase and hope to get years of use.

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.

Works great and quiet but not much instructions were provided.

We really love the Avari® Programmable Magnetic Rower! It's small and folds up easily. I like the different programs available where the tension automatically changes at different levels. The only thing we'd change is add more cushion to the seat. Great machine for the price!

Avari Stamina Magnetic Rower is a great rower. Very sturdy, quiet and with a variety of challenging programs . Great price for a very good piece of exercise equipment.

My wife and I both use the Avari Rower. We could not be more pleased with our purchase. The unit is well made and sturdy. It was packaged securely and was very easy to setup in about 30 minutes. The extruded aluminum rail is a big plus. Although it's quite heavy, the fold-up rail and front wheels make it fairly easy to move. We keep ours stationary on a Stamina folding mat. The 8 programmed workouts and 4 that are user definable is a great feature. You can choose a workout to match your mood or design your own. The chest strap heart monitor works well and the unit provides great cardio in the range we need. I called Stamina and ordered an additional chest strap for my wife. It arrives in 4-5 days. Operation is super smooth and almost completely quiet. I can be on my computer in the same room that my wife is on the rower and not even notice the sound at all. Try that with a fan-type unit! Overall, a great product. I highly recommend.

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!!!

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.

Easy setup. Almost silent. Computer linked to heart rate monitor is one of the best ways to train for aerobic fitness. Nice to know heart rate recovery score and to see how one is progressing.

I have used an elliptical machine for years but was looking for a change. Researched many rowers and decided on the Avari. Best work out ever. Highly recommend.

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.

Have had this for about a month and couldn't more pleased with it. It's quiet, smooth riding and large read out screen.

All the reviews were right easy to put together very smooth very quiet and very solid. Plenty of programs to keep you challenged.

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.

I bought this about month ago. It delivers a great full body workout. I'm glad that I made the purchase.

overall quality **** assemble very very easy ***** ! not too heavy seat comfortable resistance ****, if can up 2 - 4 level then perfect foldable, but have to unscrew two knots first, not good, don't like it *!
