Quiet and smooth. Have had it just a couple of months but seems very durable and well made. Echelon needs to provide more longer duration, 30-45 min, non-instructional videos and of higher resolution as I cast to my TV.. Also, needs smoother/softer hand grips and have an gel/foam seat pad option/accessory. After 30-45 min hands and butt can get a little sore. A small folded hand towel helps with the seat.
I absolutely LOVE my Echelon rower! This is the first piece of workout equipment that I've actually used for longer than a week. The rower is not another clothes hanger in my house. There are frequently new classes available which ensures a variety of workouts - I never get stuck in a rut. The instructors are encouraging and I feel both motivated and strong. Flow with the row!
This is a really well-built machine. It stores away very easily and doesn't take up a lot of space even when it's out in the room. The classes have gotten consistently better in quality since the beginning. The instructors are great.
The quality of the rower is great however the resistance in my opinion is not really accurate and the app is extremely laggy and honestly not accurate in calculating distance and output. Overall it does the job and again the quality and build of the machine is great. It's the app and that resistance that needs some work.
Overall it's an excellent piece of equipment but I'm having a small problem with the seat not being smooth on the rail. There is a vibration when working out
