This rower is amazing and rows very smoothly. I love the motion and easy storage.

I was impressed by similar equipment at the gym, but this one is like half the power/ effectiveness. I would have returned this, but bought it as floor model at Nebraska Furniture. They would not take it back. very disappointed.

There isn't enough information about monitor, specially connecting the monitor to either phone or computer for data transfer/download. Page 13 of Row HX Product Manual states that certain models have USB connectivity built in. However, neither technical support team at Life Fitness were knowledgeable enough about the product nor did had access to information to answer questions. Must select 'Yes, I would like recommend this to a friend' because of the equipment but it failed my expectation of monitor data transferability and product knowledge of technical support.

This is the smoothest most natural feeling rower I have ever used.

I rowed back in college but as I got older my joint health went downhill. Recently, I bought an open water shell and found at the catch, with long oars, the initial stress is spread out over a few tenths of a second, and none of the erg rowers (including the one used by all college crew teams) emulate this. I have known the salesperson at the local LifeFitness for a long time, and he knows my disdain for rowers, but insisted I try this one, as he maintained with the water displacement design, it was closer to rowing on water. To my surprise, it really is close to water, where you actually pry the oar, and do not simply pull, and so does not tweak my tennis elbow as I apply power. Interestingly, the GX, for commercial, does not have this same effect. Since I do not have great joints, the GX may be better for younger people at a gym, but for home use, this is the first one that gets it right.
