Aufbau sehr einfach. Solides Gerät. Gut sortiertes Werkzeug. Read more

I purchased this machine about a month ago. I'm very happy with it and have used it every second day since it arrived. Assembly was easy enough. The step-by-step instructions and bagged nuts and bolts helped. Took about 30 minutes once I got it out of the box (the most difficult part as it was tightly packed ;-) I get a great workout. I can work up a good sweat in 15 minutes and the lungs are definitely pumping away. I tend to go 30 minutes and work to get there. I'm giving it 5 Amazon stars because at the price, it's an excellent rowing machine. There are small annoyances and improvements that could be made, but this is a Caddy not a Bentley. I've used air machines (the one's with the big fan wheel) and piston driven machines. I get as good a workout on this as I did on an air machine, though the air machine had many more bells and whistles. The air machine I used was much noisier than this SH&F machine. This is waaaaaay smoother than the cheap piston resistance machines. I've had two of those over the years. Both leaked oil (eventually), were noisy, lacked smooth action, and took up too much space. I'm glad I spent a bit more money to get this quiet, well-built beauty. Here's how I would rate the machine's components. 1) Assembly: 5/5. Easy to assemble. 2) Resistance: 5/5. Resistance is excellent. Easy if you want. Hard if you want. I wouldn't want a higher setting. My form suffers at 6, 7 and 8 so I don't stay up there for very long. 3) Smoothness of rowing action: 4/5. Fairly smooth and quiet. 4/5 because it's not whisper quiet and makes an unwinding sound that is a noisier on release, but certainly not loud. 4) Seat and rail slide: 5/5: Seat is comfortable for me. Good support and doesn't hurt. Smooth sliding action that is fairly quiet. It is not "loud" but you definitely hear it. I like it as it helps me find a rhythm. 5) Foot rests and straps: 4/5. Work well. Easy to place your feet. Straps easy to put on and take off. Snug fit. Adjustable enough. Giving straps a 4 because the strap nylon webbing seems a little whimpy (could be better or thicker material). They can twist a bit when you are snugging the straps. This is a minor annoyance that is remedied by pulling the strap slowly and straight through the metal buckle, being careful when you snug the strap. 6) Monitor: 2.5/5. The LCD monitor is not back lit so I find the numbers hard to read. They could have positioned the monitor higher on the machine so the rower is looking straight at it not down. Doesn't give you distance or stroke rate, but at the price I can live with it. Gives time, total stroke count, session stroke count, calories burned. The addition of distance, 500 meter split times, and stroke rate would be beneficial as it makes it easier to gauge progress. 7) Storage and wheels: 3.5/5. The position of the wheels for moving the system seems wrong. Hard to describe but it doesn't roll easily, especially on carpet (the room I use it in has a low, tight pile carpet) and is awkward to move the machine upon. Hard flooring would make it easier but still not easy. Machine folds easily, but once folded, the wheels become useless. You have to move it to where you want, find the exact position, then fold it up. Once folded, it's hard to move. Footprint when folded is not bad. I place my machine against a wall. Folded, the footprint size is 37"L x 18"W (the main part of the machine, front and back feet). Height of the rail when folded is about 53". Read more

For context: I'm a fit, 6ft 175lb 36 year old and ex collegiate athlete. I moved to a place where running in the winter is something only masochists engage in, and wanted something to replace my daily 5K. When I purchased this a couple of years ago, I thought it'd either lead to me turning to something other than rowing or upgrading to a more expensive rower if I enjoyed it as my running alternative. I still have this, it gets used at least 5 days a week for 6 months of the year and maybe 3 days a week the rest of the year in 20-30 minute high intensity intervals. Below are the pros and cons. PROS: - I can't believe this machine costs what it costs, for the $ I really don't think you're going to get a more effective or durable cardio machine (caveat - if you're a heavier human, this might not hold up as well as it has for myself. My weight fluctuates between 175lb and 185lb...I'd say that if you're 200lbs or less, this machine should handle your weight without breaking a sweat. I know that it has a listed weight limit, whatever it is I'd go by that when considering this machine); - LOW maintenance - I haven't had to do anything to maintain this machine and I've had it for years. - Easy to assemble (it does take some time, but not as much as you'd think); - Effective workout - I've used high-end rowers in fitness clubs since getting this, and while this isn't EXACTLY comparable to those, it's not far off and the price difference is enormous...just row faster! (it mostly lacks higher resistance levels, but it's highest resistance should be more than adequate for most people); - Relatively small footprint (check the dimensions - I have it basically running along the shorter wall of a small bedroom and it really takes up hardly any space); - Minimum noise - none of these are whisper quiet, but this is quieter than most...it has developed some additional noise over the years, but it is still relatively quiet considering it's an erg. CONS - Noise (but that's any of these machines); - Limited range of motion...I think I'd ideally like a couple of extra inches, but if you're 6ft or shorter this should still pretty much work fine for you to get in a full stroke; - Limited display - this is probably its most significant shortcoming...I wish it displayed strokes per minute (easy enough to determine by doing a little math, but who likes to do math while they're trying to work up a sweat?); - Resistance (as mentioned previously) - for most, this will provide more than enough resistance...and if it doesn't increasing the pace is always an option. The slight lack of resistance, slightly limited range of motion for anyone in the 6ft+ range, and rudimentary display/tracking options are the things that keep this from being comparable to much higher end rowing machines...but if all you're looking to do is work up a sweat via a low impact workout, I really don't think you can beat this $ for $. I've thought of buying a slightly higher-end rower since getting this one 3 years ago, but can't justify the additional cost. Read more

It is a great machine for getting cardio exercise. It is quiet and works out most of your muscles. Read more

Good product, very quiet when using it. Would highly recommend for the price Read more

A great quiet rowing machine that is much quieter than the concept 2 rowers. The display is quite basic but it has a timer that you can set to countdown if you want...also counts your rows and calories burned. I've done 20 minutes a day for the past two months and it is still going strong. 👍 Read more

At the time I got this rower for under AED 1000. I assembled it myself, it was a straight forward process. The unit is solidly built, has different resistances and, as previous reviews have pointed out, is very quiet. The digital display is basic if you care about such things, I don't because my fitness watch tracks everything. A really good purchase. Only comment is that the "feet" of the unit could be stickier. It slides about a little when used on hard surfaces, like tiles. I put a yoga mat under one end, that sorted it out. No big deal. Read more

Updated review: My firts order had a defect in display screen and had to return it / replace it after spending time installing it myself, however, received replacement today and after installing it, all is fine and device is functioning as it should, Good customer service amazon and taking care of customer needs! Recommended especially if sold by Amazon and not a third party as i try to buy all my stuff on amazon from Amazon itself and not a third party! Read more

Good product, very good value. I have used almost daily for 6 months and works very well. Good value. Digital screen could be improved but does the basic job to keeping time. Read more
