The Stamina 35-1405 ATS Air Rower has a sleek, slightly oversized design that allows for people of larger builds – so if you’re trying to lose weight and you’re quite big, this may be the machine for you. It has a great fold away facility and you can wheel it around too, which is great for a machine of its size. You can put it away or take it with you if you’re on the move.

The Stamina 35-1405 ATS Air Rower features an oversized seating arrangement comprising the sliding seat and a sleek chrome rail on which the seat rests and moves back and forth. The smoothness of this moulded seat along the rail is a good selling point. It uses ball bearings and it causes no unwanted friction or tension.

Another boon for a machine of its size.

Dimensions of The Stamina 35-1405 ATS Air Rowing Machine

In terms of dimensions, the machine is 78 inches x 31.5 inches x 19.75 inches with a weight of 73 pounds. It takes up more space than other rowing machines, but this is not a bad thing because it also folds away neatly for easy storage, and it has caster wheels built into the frame that can enable transport to wherever you want to store it. Another benefit, as the caster wheels don’t have to be affixed each time you want to move it.

The seat itself is more comfortable than many of its rivals. If you want to go through a little pain during your work out, you need pain like lung burn or muscle ache. You don’t need pains in places that make you simply uncomfortable during the workout. So the comfortable seat is a great selling point for this machine, particularly for extended work outs. It is foam padded.

The Stamina 35-1405 ATS Air Rower is a very sturdy rower. The chain that it uses is metal, which has sometimes caused problems in getting caught. Should the chain get caught in the wheel, you can fish it out again using a coat hanger or a similar strong wire. But note that the frame has a three year warranty, so it might be worth your while getting in touch with the supplier or the manufacturer before doing any DIY.

You will find it easy to fix the chain if that happens, and the resilience of the metal chain is a plus as the rower will still be capable of use in years to come.

What kind of technology goes into the Stamina 35-1405 ATS Air Rower?

It uses wind technology when you’re using it, but its computer display serves its purpose too. As with many rivals, it comes with an electronic monitor.

The display shows:

• the time spent during the work out,
• the virtual distance travelled,
• the speed you’re going and
• the number of calories that are burned during a workout.

These are all great measurements of how things are going and provide excellent incentives to push yourself harder and break your own records as your fitness improves.
