It's easy, compact and quiet!
By Lou on Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2020
Love the easy assembly, light-weight frame, and compact design! It barely takes any room in my livingroom and I put it together with ease by myself. It's super quiet, simple to adjust to your personal settings, and easy to navigate the menu. Being in a higher, semi-standing position is better for my back than lower recumbent bikes or higher, standard bikes. A piece of the frame that connects to the front feet did bend a little during assembly, but has not effected functionality. The max weight capacity is suggested at 250lbs but I am upwards of 300lbs. It seems to be handling my weight just fine but I wouldn't go super wild on it either, haha. It feels a little small under me and I get nervous I might break it but I think for liability reasons weight capacities are set conservatively and so far it's doing really well. I Love it!!! I do wish the seat cushion didn't stick quite as far forward, it rubs against the backs of my thighs after a while, and does this to my wife too. But putting a thick pillow behind my back makes it comfortable enough! I love the full-body workout from using both arms and legs, and have noticed a difference in my physique just after using it for 30min a day for 4 days. I already feel better and am experiencing less muscle stiffness. It is important for me to lose weight as I have degenerative disc disease and need to make sure if I have to have emergency spinal reinforcement surgery down the road that I *will* recover from it. As I am now, I make a poor candidate for surgery but my back has been getting worse because I haven't lost enough weight just walking around and stretching. Especially now with covid-19 quarentine. This thing might just save my back, my health, my life! :) I'll write another review in a year to see how I'm doing with it haha. Thanks, stamina recumbent! -Lou

Design needs improvement
By Mo on Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2020
Nice piece of equipment for a decent work out, with adjustable tension. Doesn’t take up as much room as a big machine and foldable with rollers on one side for moving it around. The rower is also adjustable to move it closer to you. The seat is adjustable for longer leg people. I’m 5’4” and the lowest is for me. The hand tension makes kind of a rubbing sound at first. We called the company and asked about that, and they said turn the tension up all the way and leave it for a few days. It will help stretch the band for less of a rubbing sound. It did help, but didn’t take the sound away. The only concern I have is that when you are rowing the long bar that holds the rower, that is connected to the base of the machine, is not sturdy enough to keep it still without it squeaking/rubbing. I feel like it should have a rubber grip in it to absorb the movement. Especially the more tension you turn the more you are able to move that bar that squeaks at the base. I bought the machine for a arm and leg workout that was quiet. The only part quiet is the foot pedals. So I typically use the foot part most. Disappointed it wasn’t better. Design needs improvement!
