4.0 out of 5 starsNot perfect but a good deal
December 13, 2017
I bought this from the Amazon Warehouse Deals. I was warned before purchasing that it would come in a damaged box and might have some superficial scratches on the machine itself. Not a big deal for $50 off the regular retail price.

The box was a little dented and torn but the machine inside was fine. I still haven't found any scratches or dings on it. I assume it had been returned by an unhappy customer. The pieces and manual were all present, though not in their original packaging. I did some guessing and using a little brain power put it together in about 20 minutes.

The machine itself is very quiet. Moves very smoothly and when set at the highest tension provided a nice cardio workout. I took it for a 30 minute test run and was sweaty and tired by the end. I would have liked longer handle bars.

If you are someone used to using a compound row machine in a gym, this is not the same. No rowing machine will be similar. Rowing machines are more cardio than weight bearing exercise. If you are a serious pro on a crew team, this will probably disappoint you. But if you are just looking for something to mix up your routine and you aren't the hulk, this is a nice little machine.

The handle/cord snapped while I was using it which made me hit myself. It wasn't part of the machine that I assembled myself. The cord and handle are already together when you get the machine.

4.0 out of 5 starsOverall a solid product after first use!

I am pleased with this item after first use! Now the review.

Pros:
-It works!
-Great product for the price, especially with free Prime shipping.
-Took about 15 minutes to assemble

Cons:
-I have this in our garage on a cement floor, and it slides on the floor as you glide. I backed it up to a wall and put a 4” board behind it which fixed the problem. On a carpet floor this will probably not be an issue.
-I was expecting the wheel housing to have an actual chain wheel... instead it is the housing for a resistance band that is adjustable. After using the product I am ok with this, just not what I expected.

Overall a solid product so far!

First of all it was really easy to put together. It is just what I need for some in-home exercise. The pull is strong enough for me (68 year old female) but probably not for someone younger and needing more pull resistance. It doesn't take up much room and fold for storage and is fairly light weight. I would recommend to anyone needing moderate exercise.

1.0 out of 5 starsDO NOT BUY THIs

Verified Purchase
The rowing machine is easy to put together and came with everything. My problem with the machine is that there really is no tension and it’s very awkward to use. Would not recommend this product, spend the money and get a good one. If I didn’t already put it together I would return it. This rowing machine seems to have been made for someone of short height. I’m 5’6 (not that tall) and it’s very uncomfortable to use. Do not buy this product!!!!!

Had it for a day. Can say so far is good. Got it for my husband as a low impact cardio. Hes
320 lbs and the machine didn't seem to stress at all. Easy to storage and to put toguether so easy my 14 year old did it for me in less thn 30 min. Not counting how many times he texted his girlfriend in between.
Overall satisfied, so far.
Will post an update after the 1st week.
Happy shopping.

I was very happy with the delivery time ! Quality is good . The only downfall is the resistance. No difference between the 4 levels and at the highest level it’s weak. Very disappointed

5.0 out of 5 starsGood Buy
June 29, 2017

I just got this yesterday. I don't know how people can say that they put it together in thirty-minutes. It took me about an hour and forty-five minutes. As for the resistance, I am unable to pull the handle to my chest on any setting except the lowest notch on the machine. Even the second setting is really hard. So yes, I can definitely tell the difference between settings. I am a runner, so I don't really feel this workout in my legs, but can feel it in my back and arms. Not happy that the price has dropped $6.00 dollars since I bought it five days ago, but I'm looking forward to getting off the first notch and hoping it gives some definition to my arms, which are currently in a sad state.

5.0 out of 5 starsbut it sure does work and your seat slides like the gym one does
November 24, 2016

If you want the closest machine to the one at the gym this is it! Been searching the web for this machine and found it. Of course you have to realize that it is not the flywheel of the kind at the gym, but it sure does work and your seat slides like the gym one does. The pull has the same resistance as the gym models. Does not "march" across your rug as you pull. A GOOD thing.
