This thing broke after less than a month. I had to disassemble it and bring it back to the store in pieces. Thankfully, the manager was nice enough to give me a refund. Don’t make the mistake I did; stay away from this.

This is awful, want to return it and upgrade it but it’s too late :(. Not a workout and resistance is awful. Wish I could return it and pay the extra $200 for a better machine.

Took it out of the box assembled it with no issues. The rower looks and feels extremely cheap and I can definitely see this breaking. Will be returning.

We’re sorry that after assembling this rower the quality did not meet with your expectations and you have decided to return.
This 75-lb model has a 10-lb flywheel, 2AA Battery power in the console, and magnetic resistance. The equipment is designed to be lighter and easily-stored for those looking to make a smaller investment in at-home equipment.
The warranty safeguards this unit’s frame for one year and any other parts or labor needed is under warranty for 90 days.
If you are looking for a more heavy-duty piece of equipment, we have other models available at proform.com that may interest you.
Please email us at [email protected] if you would like further assistance.
Thanks - ProForm

We’re sorry the rower isn’t giving you the resistance expected.
Please know this equipment is designed to provide a cardio based workout not a weight/resistance based workout. Please ensure you are getting at least 20 strokes per minute in order to feel the resistance change.
At low strokes per minute, the fan speed is not fast enough for the resistance lever position to affect the resistance level. Although the resistance is changing, as evidenced in the volume of air displaced, the change felt by the user may not be as dramatic as expected.
The resistance on this machine is generated when the flywheel fan moves fast enough to push against and displace the air in the flywheel housing. The resistance lever opens or closes vents in the flywheel housing to control the amount of air the fan can push.
We hope this helps you understand your equipment better. If, after increasing your speed, the resistance level is still not as high as desire, will you reach out to us for further troubleshooting?
You can reach us at [email protected]. Your case number is 1-R102081. Please reference this when emailing us, as well as your order number, and we will be able to assist you.
