Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this about a month ago and have bn very happy with it. It arrived well- and efficiently-packed, and it was easy to assemble, and although it says you nd two people to put together/take apart the two assembled pieces, I (a short, slight, older person) have no difficulty doing so myself. It fls sturdy, rows easily and, importantly (as I live in an apartment), isn't that loud: I listen to music on a reasonable level while rowing. I know some reviewers have mentioned the lack of integrated scrn as a problem, but I don't care about that, as the app, while basic, works well enough (if occasionally glitchy) for me to track my progress. I get a great workout in 25-30 minutes and unreservedly recommend this machine. So why 4 and not 5 stars? Well, I'd give in 4.5 if I could, with the half-point deduction for two reasons: the assembly instructions are good, the instructions on use, less so. Now, this isn't a complicated machine, so I figured it out, but it did take some figuring in terms of plugging it in and synching with the app. More information on maintenance (what kind of oil/powder for the chain, how often to use it, etc.) would also be useful. The second reason is more annoying: I have small ft (women's size 6), so the back-strap of the footrest is high up on my Achilles; even wearing high-top shoes, the strap ends up rubbing my hl and giving me blisters. I've tried setting up a kind of cup in the footrest (which has kind of worked) and today will try just wrapping the strap in padding (which I think will work better), so I think this is a problem that I can mitigate, but it is annoying that I to mitigate it. Including a removable foot-cup or pad or...something would be helpful for the shorties among us. Overall, however, my impression is highly positive, and I'm glad I bought this.
