 Warning December 3, 2007

Whilst I haven't bought this from Amazon, I do have one of these at home. Unfortunately for me one of the webbing belts broke. Having ordered a replacement in August 07 it is now December 07 and I still have no belt. They come from China apparently. Why on earth such parts aren't sourced in the UK is a mystery to me. You have been warned.

I recently bought one of these due to the reduced price. First off there were two missing screws that hold the display in place, which I had to source from a local hardware shop. Second the machine is simply too small, I am 6'4" and am unable to properly extend my leg when rowing back. There is no mention of the maximum height or leg length of users of the machine anywhere. This is a shame as the level of adjustable resistance makes it very versatile for all users of varying strength.

So far I have been very happy with this rowing machine...
I could say the rowing bar could have been slightly higher, but its a minnor problem...
The seat could have had more pading, but this is 54.99, not 549.99...
The one thing that stopped it getting 5 stars was the computer on it....
It tells you everything you need to know but is hard to read as there is no back light and your legs get in the way of day light or lamp light!
and on mine the housing does not hold the computer securely!!
By the way a friend of mine who is a sports manager at ESSEX UNI had a look and a go on the rowing machine I had... and said he thought it was excellet for the money and I do in the whole have to agree!!
BUT!!! as I said at the beginning... The Price Is Right
Hope This Helps
Regards Marcus

I bought a York 501 rower from Amazon in August. The cylinder web strap broke after only 4 weeks. I've called York numerous times and have also been told about their problem getting replacements from China. 2 weeks ago I was assured that the part had been posted out to me, but I'm still waiting. Really poor service.

I didn't buy mine from Amazon either, but I'm searching the web for how to source a replacement web strap for my York R501 and Google led me here. So, I need to add my warning to the two others I've just read here: After only a few months of using the rower, the cable-like web strap snapped - It's like that flat long stuff that is used to bind large parcels, and it acts as the cable that goes from the handle, around the pulley and to the cylinder under the rower that provides the tension you pull against. When it snape you can't use the rower (D'uhh). It's dead. And having read the other two comments on here from customers who can't get York to supply a replacement belt/strap, I'm disappointed. Oh, and the computer is indeed too small to be able to work out what it says as you are rowing, as someone else says here. This is a shame, as it was quite a good rower in terms of its action (I used to row a long time ago) - better than the Roger Black one I had, on which the web strapping ALSO broke, forcing me to buy this one. It's only the cheaper rowing machine that have this web strapping thing linked to a hydraulic cylinder to provide the resistance. The more expensive ones have a weighted flywheel or somesuch equivalent. Even so, these machines shouldn't break as easily as they do. Be warned.
