Product Description
Rowing is widely recognized with trainers and fitness experts as one of the best all around activities for cardiovascular fitness and strength. Rowing is an efficient, effective total body workout that utilizes all major muscle groups including the back, legs, arms, abdominals and buttocks. It is one of the best exercises for building a strong back, as well as one of the most effective low-impact aerobic exercises for increasing your metabolism for more efficient calorie and fat burning without the impact on your joints.
The super quiet recumbent bike is designed to put you in a semi-reclined position so your workout focuses on all the major muscles in your hips, thighs, and buttocks. Stationary cycling is also among the most effective low-impact aerobic exercises because it increases your metabolism for more efficient calorie and fat burning without impact on your joints.
Warranty: 90 days parts and 3 years frame
Amazon.com Product Description
Rowing and cycling are widely considered two of the best all-around activities for cardiovascular fitness and strength, and now you can enjoy both workouts in a single device with the deluxe Conversion II recumbent bike/rower. Rowing is an efficient total body workout that uses all the major muscle groups, including the legs, arms, shoulders, abdominals, and buttocks. It's also one of the best exercises for building a strong back, as well as one of the most effective low-impact aerobic exercises for people who want to increase their metabolisms and burn more calories without hurting their joints. Stationary cycling, meanwhile, is also a terrific low-impact cardiovascular exercise, with a routine that focuses on all the major muscles in your hips, thighs, and buttocks. The Conversion II looks like a standard rower, with a molded, adjustable foam-padded seat and seat back, rotating rowing pedals, and an extruded aluminum rowing beam. However, the seat also doubles as a recumbent bike seat that supports your lower back while you ride, with foot straps holding your feet securely in place as you pedal. And that's not all, as the Conversion II also offers options for working your upper body--including such exercises as bicep curls, tricep kickbacks, and forearm curls--along with a resistance cord that attaches under the seat for light leg presses. Other details include eight levels of smooth, quiet magnetic resistance; a multifunction electronic monitor with a large LCD display that tracks speed, distance, time, calories burned, and pulse; sturdy steel construction; a hand-pulse sensor built into the grips to measure heartbeats per minute; a weight capacity of 250 pounds; wheels for easy transport; and a folding frame for quick, effortless storage. The Conversion II measures 74.5 by 25.5 by 10 inches (W x H x D) and weighs 105 pounds. Key Features: - Doubles as a recumbent bike and a rower
- Additional upper body strengthening exercises including bicep curls, triceps kickbacks, forearm curls and more
- Attach the resistance cord under the seat for light leg presses
- 8 levels of smooth, quiet magnetic resistance, deluxe housing
- Multi-function electronic monitor is built into the housing for a sleeker design with a larger LCD display for easier reading
- Electronic monitor keeps you motivated by tracking speed, distance, time, calories burned, and pulse
- Molded foam-padded seat and seatback
- Rotating rowing pedals
- Foot straps on all pedals hold feet securely in place
- Extruded aluminum rowing beam
- Sturdy steel construction
- Wheels for portability
- Folds for storage
- Hand pulse sensor built into grips to measure heart beats per minute

 Really nice. Spendy, but nice. July 30, 2010
Jen (San Diego, CA USA)
This is a solid piece of machinery. There is nothing rickety or flimsy-feeling about it. I'm pretty close to the weight limit (I know, I know) and it doesn't feel creaky at all with me on it. Unlike a lot of equipment. The pictures don't really make it clear but the seat can glide freely on the rail for rowing or be locked into position for cycling. There are a lot of positions for the seat, but a very short person could have trouble. I'm 5'5" and I'm on the 3rd shortest seat position. If you are less than 5' tall you might not be able to use the bike properly. Some commenters complained that the highest-resistance setting isn't tough enough. That's certainly not going to be a problem for me as I'm just starting out my exercise program, but if you are very strong you might not find it adequate.
Setup went OK - no broken bits or cracks anywhere, and all the pieces were there and well packaged. The box it arrives in is huge and heavy. The installation instructions could be improved - as a couple other commenters mentioned, it looks like you don't have all the hardware when you compare the contents of the baggie with the instruction sheet, but many of the bolts are already in their holes so don't panic. The seat assembly is rather awkward to handle as you're trying to put it together, so if you can have someone help that would be good. I built it on my own and it took me about an hour of actual work time.
 Love it July 25, 2010

This is my first rower and I love it. I'm really glad I decided to get the combo with the recumbent bike because it is a great way to continue the cardio after the rower kicks my bu**. Set up wasn't too bad and it has worked great from the get go. (1 month so far).
 Poorly made July 21, 2010
Go Irish (Chicago)
This product is nowhere near worth the money. When mine arrived, it had a couple bent parts that made it difficult to put together. Once I got it together, it worked as advertised for three months. Then a strap got caught in the fly wheel and the rower no longer worked. I spent several hours one weekend taking it apart and untangling the strap. The machine worked for about two more months before the same thing happened. This time, it couldn't be fixed, and the rower was unusable. I continued to use it as a bike for a couple more months. Then that too broke. It now needs to be thrown out.
This machine is badly designed and poorly made. It is also grossly overpriced. I gave it two stars instead of one only because in the few months in which it was working, it worked as advertised.
great product when its working July 6, 2010

Used it a few times and really liked it, the combination of both bike and rower was just what I was looking for. However after about 3-4 uses the fabric strap for rower began to fray. I called for warranty service and Stamina said they would send me a replacement strap. That was 7 weeks ago and apparantly the strap is still on backorder. I'm still able to use the bike which works just fine but I don't want to use the rower for fear the strap will actually break and possibly cause other problems. As of today I am rating it a 4 because I really like the unit itself, but if I don't get the strap soon (and if it doesn't solve the fraying problem) then that rating will easily go down to a 2.

Well, it's not as good as I had hoped it would be but it is a useful piece of exercise equipment.
PROS: Rower and recumbent cycle in 1 is nice. Compact/sturdy design. No flaws in item when received as others have experienced. I'm 6'2" and max this out when rowing. If you are taller, I'd stay away.
CONS: Manual tension with limited (8) settings. Larger than size 12 shoes may have trouble when cycling to not hit heels on front stabilizer bar (see picture).
All-in-all this is a decent machine that rounds out my exercise room but wish I would have went with a comparably priced recumbent bike with auto-tensioning and preset programs.
