I got this rowing machine to improve my cardiovascular fitness after a period of inactivity.I have only had it for a few days so not quite ready to cross the Atlantic.

We've been looking for a decent, budget rowing machine for the house. We needed something small and silent and versatile and also maybe not £1000, so it all boiled down to magnetic rowers. As a result I've literally lost weeks due to choice paralysis over the comments saying the resistance is too low on magnetic machines.For context I'm 37, male, I haven't been exercising for quite a while but I have water polo, swimming, yoga and general weighted gym workout background. I also used to own a hydraulic rowing machine when I was about 27-28 and I used to do around 2000 strokes in about an hour.In my first round I hardly finished 15 minutes at resistance level 8. After 3 sessions, I'm finally regaining the muscle memory and strength back. My final set lasted 25 minutes and 850 strokes, by the end of which I was soaked in sweat and was barely walking with a hart rate around 130.Whoever says this machine (or any other magnetic rower) is too light is either doing sets of 10 or just doing it wrong. If you row with a consistent speed from the moment you start pulling to the moment you bring the handle back, listen to your muscle groups, and spread the force to where you want to workout by adjusting the handle height, there's no way you "hardly break a sweat". Simply by making micro adjustments to how I hold the handle or in what cascading order I use my legs and arms I can control what part of my abs gets more workout for instance.Just don't start the stroke with a one strong jerk, start with the exact speed you'll be pulling and you'll see the difference. That's probably how some people break the resistance mechanism anyway.Anyways, TL;DR it's a perfectly fine and robust rowing machine for its price point that'll deliver a satisfactory workout if you know how to use both your muscles and the machine itself.

Easy to assemble. It's good that can work with the app to have different practice mode.

This is a good machine for the price and you can store upright to save space.Bit of an issue with the display unit from time to time which is a bit basic

Have had this hooked up to EXR (which was the best but costly!) and also Kinomap. Worked pretty easy with both

Compact machine, but enough to accomodate 6ft person easily. Very quiet. suitable for home use. Consider it good value for money. Only critisism is difficult to read the mode indicator on the bottom of the screen.

I bought this last weekend and had it delivered in good time, putting it together was very easy especially with the help from the recording on Amazon.It’s still early days using it, it seems to be doing what I bought it for, however I have messaged the seller asking for help regarding the Bluetooth part, in the instructions it advises down loading the Kinomap app, on doing this I haven’t been able to find that this rowing machine is actually compatible with it as the brand isn’t existing on the apps list of brands. This rowing machine is advertised as having Bluetooth, when I look on my devises I am unable to locate it, so I’m not convinced it actually has it, so for now I am giving this 3 stars until the seller can reply and advise me how to get it all working!!

It does the job but 20mins is all I can do on it as the seat is mega uncomfortable
