I've had the machine about three years.  I find it pleasant enough to use and I've used it fairly regularly since I bought it.  It's generally easy to assemble in that the instructions are readable and logical.  It's relatively quiet, although I use headphones to watch TV as I row.  And, when not in use, it can be stood up and moved to a corner where it does not look out of place and children are unlikely to topple it.  My greatest complaint is with the water. It will grow yucky stuff unless it is purified.  The company represents that it supplies free water purification tablets. And, to be sure, the first time I requested them, they were supplied.  Then, not so much.  They acknowledged my request but I haven't gotten any.  I don't even mind paying for them but in small things like this, the company falls down by ignoring me.
