Customer Review: Good deal for price
We were looking for a reasonably priced rowing machine and the MR 900 was one of the few reviewed. It has a tension adjustment knob at the base, so that you can increase your workout. The seat slides easily and the handlebar pulls back fine. As a smaller woman, I find the footpedal position a bit awkward and despite the velcro strip, I can’t quite get the right fit. The other review that I saw for this machine also mentioned that the footpads were not as well placed as they might be. Phoenix could really improve their machine by allowing some adjustment in height and better width grip on this feature. The display is fine, but the calorie count seems off–either that or I’m just not working as hard as I think I am. I don’t think it accounts for the quickness with which you pull or your body weight and might just be taking into account the tension, time, and number of pulls. Overall, I’m really pleased. My stomach, legs, and arms get a nice workout. I guess the trick is to emphasize using your back with your stomach and legs vs. forearms, which I am still trying to get used to. If you are concerned with noise, the seat motion causes no noise, but the air on the pull definitely does. If you’ve got an iPod or mp3 player it won’t matter, though.
