Deals Stamina 15 9003 Deluxe C Versi Ii Recumbent, Deals Polar Ft40 Mens Heart Rate M Itor Watch, Polar Rs300x Sd Heart Rate M Itor Watch , Omr Hr 210 Strap Free Heart Rate M Itor , Mio Classic Select Heart Rate M Itor Watch , 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.

This review is from: Stamina 15-9003 Deluxe Conversion II Recumbent / Rower (Sports)
I have used this machine for a week now and I am a happy user. Here are some good things.
1. The setup is easy, took me little over hour with detailed reading. The instruction manual can be little better with more diagrams but it's OK.
2. The design and quality are good. I would not give it a professional Gym equipment quality but it's good addition to your home gym.
3. The bicycle and rower are good. The machine is quiet.
4. The heart rate monitor is accurate. I have a wireless heart monitor and that rate is captured pretty quickly on this machine. Even on the expensive treadmill in the fitness center, it takes more time when you hold the handle.
5. There are strength training exercises given on the instruction manual. Those are good.
6. The seat is comfortable. I was impressed by comfort and convenience using it.
7. It easily folds upwards and saves space.
Here are some cons.
1.When I started the machine for the first time, it gave a huge squeaking noise. Upon examination, I saw a scratch on the main bar. the seat hook was scratching on the bar. I had to hammer it on the side. Then it was OK. I wonder this is a manufacturing defect or some damage during transport.
2. Need to add more resistance. On the highest level it's not that hard to row.
3. It had some weird smell. After a while I realized the seat was stinking. Had to spray the deodorizer.
I would give 4.5 stars just for the reasons above.
I would recommend it for your home exercise. It is a fun and useful machine for many types of workouts. I normally buy from Amazon since it beats Ebay prises now-a-days. Here is a hint though - research more and you'll get better deal.
