I’ve had this machine for almost exactly two years now. Overall, it is really great and I love to use it for my workouts. Two improvement suggestions: (1) the screen started to get harder and harder to read with time, and it just died today; I’m unable to use the mode function at all going forward so will have to time my workouts instead; I do not see any way to fix it (battery?) (2) tension control up to 8 is not enough- wish the difference between 1 through 8 on the tension scale was more noticeable. I have it set on 6, 7 or 8 for most workouts since I’ve got it. I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone who lifts weights and is very fit as the tension won’t feel like enough of a workout.
I’m a retired person and this machine fills my needs for something besides walking—a full-body workout. It is quiet, smooth, sturdy, and has many levels of resistance. The instructions were clear with great diagrams that allowed me to put it together. I can easily move this rower to stand in the corner when not in use. I have limited space but can position it for television viewing. I’ve been using it every day for almost two weeks and love it! Last, but not least, is the price: The cost versus quality shines. I highly recommend this machine! Thank you!
I am loving my new rowing machine! It was simple to put together, even for this 62 year old grandma, and it works great. I'm using it 5 days a week and tuning into a rowing class on YouTube. It's working wonders on my leg strength and weight loss!
I thought the resistance dial would have been more intense. Even at the beginning of my usage, I needed to put it to the maximum setting for resistance.
