    Good Points: Smooth action. Not expensive.

    Bad Points: Didn't survive long before the ratchet went in the main flywheel. It was six months old and had only been used to cover about 275km (or is it miles on the display - nothing tells you).The display has many readings, but basically only counts one thing - movement of the seat, so if you do a long stroke or a short stroke, fast or slow, with high or low resistance, the display still gives the same distance.

    General comments: Not the most robust machine. Don't get it for heavy usage.The machine surprised me when it seemed to give a distance travelled of 6km for every 1000 strokes exactly, which I thought a bit unusual until I tried moving the seat without touching any other part of the machine. It registered calories burned, distance travelled and strokes just from a seat movement, even though the flywheel wasn't turning. This means that it can tell you you are going further with more effort when you are actually putting in a worse stroke with less effort and not pulling through properly. Don't trust the display to tell you how well you are doing, apart from how many strokes you have done and how long you have been doing it for. The rest is really just made-up data. It is a pity it broke so quickly and doesn't correctly measure, since otherwise this is a good value machine. But remember that, it is a value machine, not a professional gym version, so don't expect anything more than this.

    Good machine however better suits a commercial gym rather than home use.

    The Carl Lewis Fitness ROMF51 Magnetic is generally well designed and built. The trimming of some panels is a bit rough, but this is a cosmetic fault. The seat could do with padding as it gets uncomfortable when rowing. The grips on the handle tend to slide off in use and need something to keep them in place. The display and a replacement display have failed to count the repetitions accurately. The timer stops if you stop for a couple of seconds. I am still trying to get a display that function ...
