Good budget rowing machine
I bought this because I realised I needed to do more exercise but didn't favour running or turning out on a wet night to go cycling. I didn't want to spend too much because I didn't know if rowing would aggravate a weak back. In fact on the basis of about six weeks use it seems to be the opposite - moderate use seems to be strengthening my back and it's proved very useful easing out pains from over-enthusiastic gardening. The machine is solidly built and seems very stable, although I'm well within its weight limit. Although the machine is compact (and can be stored on its end if necessary) the range of movement is reasonable for a machine in this price range although you are limited by the design as to how far back you can lean. For variety it is possible to hold the handlebar both overhand and underhand although the latter is a little restricted and a longer bar would have helped. There are 12 marked settings set by rotating a dial but I have found that in use the dial rotates so you can start on 5 and finish on 9 but in practice this isn't really a problem. The stroke counter isn't terribly reliable and at an estimate I would say it is around 10% optimistic - 500 strokes is more likely to be around 450. I don't find this to be a problem as I tend to exercise by time, which does seem to be reliable. The only real criticism I have is that perhaps a little more money should have been spent on the wheels the seat rolls on. I'm having to clean a fine plastic powder off the main beam every couple of days and increasingly the seat rumbles and rocks side to side when in use so putting all this together I suspect wear in the transport wheels or their bearings. As long as these are replaceable at a sensible price in a budget machine this isn't a big problem. So would I buy another one? Yes, it's compact and it does what I need at a reasonable price.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

compact rower
like everything about it but find when the cylinder heats up the resistance is lowered. In fact I can pull it back on maximum setting using my fingers. A shame as the design and storage and assembly process was very goodVerified purchase: YesCondition: New

Very good value
It assembled well and I was pleased that it had good quality fittings - e.g. the washers were lacquered - and the design seemed ingenious in that it felt as though someone had value engineered it well. If I had an observation it would be that the readout would have been more helpful had it been "smarter" i.e. would connect directly to my fitness app (myfitnesspal). But for the price it was good value and exceeded my expectations. The instruction leaflet was adequate without being comprehensive.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Easy to assemble
I had it together in no time. All the parts, screws etc. were labelled. Also easy to store. It has a good range of resistance so I can start slowly & work up ( I'm over 70 )Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
