Does anyone have this machine, and can you tell me what bar is working well for you with it? Do i need a cambered bar, standard olympic bar, or something else?

The above is the typical bar you would use.
Another awesome bar would be something like the EliteFTS American Cambered bar

I haven't used the Legend version but I've looked carefully at this one, the Arsenal Strength versions and tried the Eleiko Classic Rowing Bench. The Eleiko one was awesome and I'm trying to special order it, if Eleiko USA can get its act together.
I've found I prefer the Eleiko design with knees on a lower pad, helped me keep better form and reduce stress on my lower back.
Regarding the bar, I would bet Legend sells the bar pictured. Another option someone on here mentioned was attaching kettle grip handles to a bar to get a little extra height. Sorinex also sells a product called the bear claw that might work for that as well without needing a special bar.

doesn't look like the Eleiko has a bar rest from the pictures. That would be a problem if accurate. I haven't tried any of them either to know if the bent knee version is actually a savings on the back.

I used these when I had mine attached to a bar.
Most of the time I used Dumbbells. I built a box for under the bench to set up for them.

That's true but strangely I didn't find it to be a problem. The bench can be adjusted in height in about 1" increments and I was able to find a height where my arms were fully extended just as the bar hit the ground. There is a short clip on my Instagram (follow link in bio) of me using it if that's helpful.
If Eleiko USA ever deigns to sell me one I'll use it with my DC Blocks at home and just use those to rest the bar or DBs in at whatever height I like.
As an aside, the DC Blocks have been an awesome addition for my space and let me cobble together all sorts of random stuff as a makeshift row bench solution.
