I don't know the official weight rating, but I'm 5'10" and had no problems using the unit when I was in the 230lbs range. Very solid machine!

I haven't read the product information. The person who has used it for months is about 250 lbs. No problems.

This rower fits ALL heights, no height limitations, as long as you weigh less than 300 pounds; it's not in the users manual about the weight limit, but I do remember seeing it somewhere when I was researching the H2O RX-750. I'm sure you won't regret the purchase of this sturdy machine.

The weight limit listed is 250 pounds. However, I have had people much heavier use this machine and it stands up quite well.

I find it's good to use as a rower. Yes would stand up to daily use and is smooth. I think it's just as effective as a regular rowing machine.

You are correct, there isn't any resistance control. It'll gives me enough resistance but I'm a novice. I'm not sure if I will have to search for another rower if I become stronger.

I don't know the weight rating but my husband is around 230 pounds and it's plenty strong enough for him. He has been using it for a year.

Not a problem - it's very well built. I'm just under 200 and I know it could handle someone much heavier.

I investigated both rowers and chose the water rower for several reasons: the rower got excellent reviews, is very easy to move and store without taking it apart, is extremely quiet, has a low profile, which allows you to put it in a family room and virtually not notice it. I'm very happy with my choice.

I would say it is. Be aware though it does not have all the options that other rowers have. It does not have adjustable tension. The display is not the best. But for a beginner on a budget it is worth it.

The weight of person who is going to use this equipment should be no more than 275 pounds.

My question is similar to Paris French. Is this machine workable / comfortable for a 5'4" female? I had a rowing machine years ago, great workout, loved it. Don't want to buy a rower that won't fit.Thanks!

Don, The upgraded model you would like to look at would be the Stamina ATS Air Rower model 35-1405. Connie

It says 250lbs when I purchase it I try to returned it but seller never got back to me, but am glad I didn't sent it back I was 400lbs at that time, I put it together and I was able to use it. Not sure how much weight I have lost but I do know I have, but exercise is not all I do send me an email and I will share my experience sandyvzw30@gmail.com

I'm 185 and my legs are 33 inches. My only issue is occasionally lightly bumping the rear of the seat on the rail stops in full leg extensions. I'd predict that legs 32" and below would be perfect for full extension clearance and upper body movements. The rollers are a bit noisy but otherwise mine has been a very reliable outrigger rower allowing the additional upper body range of motion. I keep the resistance lower for primarily toning and stretching. For the price, it's very competitive. If you're pushing yourself hard, a more robust, expensive unit like Boris recommended may be the best option. I'm 185 and my legs are 33 inches.
