Very nice, smooth comfortable, lots of options for workouts, only thing I don’t like is I work out early am and there’s no classes then, something I would change
Fantastic, smooth rower with troublesome WIFI connectivity.

Love my smooth, quiet and confrontable rowing machine. I have tried a lot of rowers, and this is far the best one. Love the finger control for resistance . Negative reviews of the "aggressive angle" of the rowing handle are silly. The big issue I have is, I have had to reconnect the WIFI to my rower every other workout. Additionally, had to make two separate calls to Echelon to get my rower set up properly (outdated firmware and INTERNECT CONNECTION!) during set up.
I purchased my rower as an open box which saved a lot of money. The rower has quite a few cosmetic issues, striped screws, front metal roller for strap has a large ding in it and a large cracked plastic frame, but it works beautifully.
The only suggestion I have for a better rowing experience is to add 1) connectivity to my cellphone for music, 2) watch Prime Videos on the screen 3) have some interactive racing games included in the workout menu.
Easy to put together. Love the ease to change tension from the handlebar. Classes aren’t super intense but you can make it your own. Extra quiet and smooth!!
I love this equipment, and so proud that I was able to assemble it myself. It is sturdy and a full body workout, such a great price for a quality product!
I can’t say enough about the echelon rower that we have and I would give that five stars by itself. And the reason for the two star deduction is the change in app/subscription service. A couple years ago you had to pay for the live subscription service, which was fine at the time because you could get pre-recorded events/sessions at no cost. Now echelon requires a subscription for both live and pre-recorded sessions. It is too costly to be acceptable.
I have had issues with using Connect on this unit since it did an update. I am able to connect but only in manual use mode or competitive mode, but once I switch to the Connect mode with the work out videos the system cannot find the Row machine. Disappointed to say the least.
It constantly wants me to update. When I update it says I haven’t updated. So I can never truly update. And because I can’t update, I can’t use any of the programs. Super annoying. So I just freestyle. The entire. Time.
