Pros & Cons
Pros
All in all, it surpasses what i thought we were buying and we like it a lot. It's affordable and i would highly recommend it. Not a problem for me but just fyi. Overall for now its so good.
Rower works great. I have hardwood floors and the rower would slide across the room and rock a bit without a floor mat underneath. With the straps installed on the lower anchor, my feet feel completely secure.
Easy, simple and it makes you sweat without the joints pressure in treadmill. Great full body workout. Fades a bit over course of my 10 min workout but nothing serious.
Resistance levels are good enough for a beginner on one of these machines. Motion feels smooth and is actually pretty satisfying with the way it behaves.
Cons
Year and 2 months later (with intermittent light use between hubby and it) and it's happened again this morning. Now, the piston has no tension anymore, which means the machine is useless.

By which i mean that its not much of a leg workout when set up flat as the initial portion of the pull is not resisted until the hydraulic cylinder gets loaded

Not exactly like rowing but to be blunt only a vanishingly small percentage of all indoor rowers will ever find themselves in a real boat
