Burns the fat!

Excellent machine, this is the perfect way to get fit and burn some fat off. The actual machine came with a reasonable amount of self-fitting to get it fully operational. The fitting instructions are comprehensive and there was no problem encountered in fully erecting the rower. Once switched on, a guide is needed to understand the various rowing activities, of which there are 12 programmes, plus a number or other ways to kill yourself! The various programmes can be used either slowly or at a pace to suit your current fitness levels - all of which are a good workout. All in all a great machine and an excellent addition to a fitness programme.Read full review

Puts a lot of strain on the lower lumbar spine

Note this needs to be plugged in to an electrical socket. The magnetic resistance gives a jerking pull at the beginning of the stroke which really tires the arms and strains the back. The legs are not well exercised as a result. I slip forward on the seat. The rope started to wear a groove in the edge of the rubber cover after the first 5 minute session. The screen is ‘1990s’ and hard to look at. At 5’ 10” the machine feels too small for me. The feet are hard plastic, not rubber so I had to buy two cheap rubber doormats so as not to slip across the floor. Read full review

Quality Rowing machine

The Viavito rowing machine is a great machine for regular domestic use.
The unit was delivered swiftly and as arranged and easily assembled.
The range of different programmes and resistance levels maintains motivation and interest for all the family, whilst the magnetic resistance proves very quiet compared to similar air/fan resistance units.
My only slight criticism relates to the foot plate brackets which seem quite lightweight in their connection to the main body and have developed an annoying squeak whilst in use that cannot be silenced with either WD40 or tightening the securing bolts.

Excellent.

It seems brilliant, now I need to use it and not just dry clothes on it

The only small criticism I would have is that the foot plates move around

Brilliant apparatus

Only used this rowing machine several times after having it for 1 week and my overall body appearance and lung function has improved already. I wish I purchased one 20 years ago

Faulty machine

At first appearance a good machine but turned out to have a fault in the internal mechanism which caused the handlebar cord to fray and deglove making it useless since it would eventually break.
