How well do rowing machines work?

I really need to work on my back. I've gained alot of weight on my sides and back. I've heard that rowing machines are great but can be difficult to use and cause injuries. Can someone give me advice on this? Thanks to all who answer.

    I have rowed for awhile now and have spent many many hours on a Concept2 machine. If you want to lose weight, row! It will work almost every muscle in you body and you will burn calories fast. Rowing will work your back extensively. Rowing machines are not difficult to use at all...just make sure you have someone show you the basics or do a quick google search. If you watch some YouTube videos, you can pick it up quickly. Best of luck
