Features
- 12 LEVELS OF HYDRAULIC RESISTANCE Adjust your workout through 12 levels of hydraulic resistance with an easy-turn tension knob. Move from lighter, steady rowing to stronger pulls for more challenging cardio and strength conditioning as your fitness progresses.
- INCLINED RAIL ADDS LEG-DRIVE CHALLENGE The slanted rail uses gravity and your body weight to make the uphill drive more demanding, adding extra lower-body work as you push through each stroke. Gravity then assists the downhill recovery, while maintaining a smooth, controlled return keeps your muscles actively engaged.
- COMPACT ROWER FOR SMALL SPACES Get a full rowing workout without dedicating a large area to fitness equipment. Measuring 58.1L x 20.1W x 24.8H in and weighing just 22.4 lb, this lightweight rower fits more easily into apartments, bedrooms, home offices, and other shared workout spaces while remaining easy to reposition when needed.
- FULL-BODY CARDIO & STRENGTH Turn each rowing stroke into coordinated training for your legs, glutes, core, back, shoulders, and arms. The combined leg drive and upper-body pull deliver efficient full-body cardio while helping engage multiple muscle groups in one smooth movement.
- FREE SUNNYFIT APP & CONNECTED TRAINING Connect by Bluetooth to the free SunnyFit App to view workout data while you train and access trainer-led workouts, 10,000+ scenic routes, AI Fitness Plans, progress tracking, challenges, and community features with no subscription required.
- PADDED COMFORT & SECURE FOOT SUPPORT A cushioned seat supports comfortable rowing while foam-covered handlebars provide a secure grip. Pivoting foot pedals follow your movement, and adjustable straps help keep your feet comfortably positioned throughout the stroke.
- BUILT-IN PERFORMANCE TRACKING Follow time, count, total count, calories, and scan on the built-in LCD meter. An integrated device holder keeps your phone or tablet in view for SunnyFit training, scenic routes, entertainment, or workout tracking.
- SLEEK, MINIMAL STEEL FRAME The durable steel frame combines a clean, space-conscious design with sturdy support for regular home training. It supports users up to 220 lb, while floor stabilizers help keep the rower steady on a level surface.

I am so pleased with this purchase. I bought a while back but today I finally put it together. I chose this product because I want to see how much I like rowing (learned I loathe stationary bikes). It is a good machine! Very well built and easy to put together. It has a mini-computer on it so you can track your time, your calories expended, and the number of strokes. In addition, the resistance is adjustable. Very quiet, very stable. A particularly nice addition is the pole in the front where you can put your cell phone and listen to rowing music! My personal faves are the Vikings! Thanks Erling and Norway! If you are interested in rowing as an exercise, I highly recommend this product. Lightweight so I can move it around and it gets the job done! All I need now is the Viking helment.

This is not the first piece of exercise equipment I've purchased from this company. I also have their mini step machine. I was hesitant to purchase the step machine — we're all used to seeing fancy, high-end exercise equipment at the gym, so the idea that I could get a step machine for $40 made me understandably skeptical. But I gave it a shot, and it blew me away. I can safely say that if it wasn't for that experience, I doubt I'd ever have even *considered* buying a rowing machine for as little as $80. It's my favorite machine at the gym, and I had a really hard time believing that there could possibly be a rowing machine that could satisfy me for such a low price. But I had the proof of Sunny's quality products right there in my living room in the form of my step machine, so I decided to give their rowing machine a try. I am so, SO glad I did. Yes, of course this machine doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the one at my gym. There is no big impressive flywheel, no water sloshing pleasantly while I row to put me in the right mindset. And yes, of course it would be amazing to have those things. But this rowing machine has everything that's important. It's insanely easy to put together (I had the whole thing working in less than 5 minutes), extremely user-friendly (just turn the dial to a higher number to get a higher resistance), almost silent (which helps me watch TV or listen to music during my workout without having to get tangled with my headphones), unexpectedly comfortable to use (the seat and handlebars have nice padding, the foot straps are comfortable as long as you've got shoes on, and the mechanism slides impressively smoothly), and — most impressive of all to me — it weighs NOTHING. I can pick the whole machine up with one hand with no effort, and that's coming from someone who wanted this machine because I have next to no arm strength. This makes it incredibly easy to store, too; I can toss it into a hall closet so it doesn't clutter up my living room when I'm not using it. I was nervous about the order, even knowing that I liked this company. I'm glad to be able to tell you that you don't have to be. If you can afford the best of the best, then sure — buy the kind with all the bells and whistles. But if you're exercising on a budget, like me, then this machine is PERFECT. I paid $80 for this machine that I use almost every day, and was able to cancel a gym membership that was costing me $35 per month. Within two months this machine will have almost entirely paid for itself! The ONLY negative thing I can say about this machine is related to the resistance mechanism, and it's similar to their other products: the metal gets really, really hot due to the friction during use. It's not a part of the machine that you're in contact with while using it, so it's not like you're going to burn yourself accidentally or anything, but it limits how long you should use it without stopping. I try to limit myself to 20-25 minutes on the machine before stopping to let it cool off for a while. But in the scheme of things, and for the price, that's a small sacrifice that I'm more than willing to make. I hope this helps you make your decision! And if you want to flesh out your home gym on a low budget like me, check out their step machine too — that way you can give your rowing machine a break without having to quit your workout, and come back to it once it's cooled off. Just a thought!

My rating is based on 1. Cost. Not expensive in this case does not mean cheaply built. It's lightweight but solid, and withstands my 240 pounds easily. 2. Ease of assembly. Honestly, it all came very well wrapped and protected inside the box, requiring only to unscrew a few Allen bolts to attach the handle. It was folded under itself, and strapped together to prevent damage from movement. 3. "Ease" of use. The pneumatic arm moves well with the rowing motion, and it is an intuitive increase from 1 (like pulling a happy dog on its leash for a walk) to 10 (pulling a Smart car out of a snowy parking space with a big rope). I am short-limbed, long torso, so my comfort and ease of use will probably not be an experience shared by long-limbed folks as the seat and arms will not allow someone with an inseam over 35" to have full extension. Decide accordingly. 4. Portability. Ok, if you need to slide it under a bed it is lightweight, and requires taking out two bolts to fold it. One is designed to be easy to remove, the other will use the included wrenches. So, I leave it out in my living room which is more a workout room than social area. There is still plenty of room in my apartment that it isn't in the way. Summary: I love it, and enjoy the variation from biking, but it may prove less useful for the long-limbed or tiny home dwellers. **The Powerade bottle gives you a reference point for scale, it is a quart.

I received the package today at 2:09 pm. I ripped it out of the box and was momentarily confused. On first glance it looked almost entirely assembled. After ripping open the plastic, I noticed it needed 3 things- handle bar, connecting the arm to the hydraulic and releasing the back bar. It was such a simple operation. There was no crazy fluff with the packaging so clean up was a breeze. I immediately hopped on and was impressed. I went slowly and did 5 minutes in my living room. I then moved it outside, it is SO light. I can carry one handed if I wanted to. It fits nicely in the space I set aside. The monitor is incredibly easy to use and to watch while working out. I noticed some other reviews that said it was complicated. I'm not sure why someone would feel that way, maybe they have updated it since previous reviews? Either way, I was pleasantly surprised and had no issues. Now, onto the machine's resistance which seems to be a great debate among other reviewers... Once I moved it outside I adjusted the resistance level from 1 to 3 and did a full 15 minutes. I did experience some change in the resistance towards the end but I realized that I had shortened my strokes as I got faster. Once I corrected my form, the resistance was consistent. So to clarify, I did not experience a loss of resistance. However, how it stands up over time is still a debate. I did not go particularly fast but maintained a steady pace from beginning to end. Another point some reviewers brought up was size, I am 5'4 and 220 lbs. Yes, I'm fluffy lol I had no problems. The seat could use a bit more padding but once I moved forward a little I found the sweet spot. The one *potential* problem I've noticed is that the foot rests don't seem to be very sturdy. At one point I had to adjust my feet because I noticed the fronts were slightly bending the plastic back. Maybe they are meant to have some give? I'm not sure. They felt as if they will be the first thing that needs to be replaced down the road. Highlights: Value- 5 Size- 5 Weight- 5 Packaging- 5 Assembly- 5 Stability- 4.5 Resistance- 5 Performance- 5 Conclusion: Is this a gym quality machine? Nope. Is it functional, practical and worth buying? Yes. This is not something I would recommend to an Olympian but for the average person looking to burn a few calories while watching TV, this is the way to go. Update as of 3/22/2020, When I wrote the first review, I weighed 220 lbs. I now weigh 154. I'm 14 lbs from my goal weight. The rower still works like a breeze. I use my treadmill and bike for heavy cardio but the rower is still a staple. It is amazing for cross training. The foot rests still haven't broken, so that is a plus 😂 Still no loss in resistance. Now that I am in better shape, I notice that if I go fast, I can actually slide it across my floor with the momentum. I put it on .5 inch gym flooring and have had no issue since. My boyfriend who is 5'10, 180 lbs and a hardcore volleyball player is in love with this thing. According to him, it isn't a true rower but works on his muscular imbalances caused by playing one sport. I've though about upgrading to a more advanced rower but who am I kidding? I'm not a professional and it still does what I purchased it for. No complaints. On a side note, I made significant lifestyle changes to accomplish my weight loss. When I first started and couldn't walk more than 5 minutes at a time, this rower was a true challenge but I outgrew it about a month in and started regularly walking. I no longer use it every day, maybe 3-5 times a month for about 25-30 minutes.

Great machine for beginners. It takes up very little space, easy assembly. Great customer service: it arrived without the meter in package, but I contacted the company and they immediately sent the meter.

I’ve been using this rower every day since it arrived, and overall I’m really impressed. It’s gentle on the body while still giving a solid workout, and the machine functions smoothly. The noise level is low, it was easy to set up, and the build quality is great for the price—it doesn’t feel or look cheap. I also appreciate that it doesn’t take up much space and can fold up to slide under the bed. I’ve also been enjoying the Sunny Fitness app—it’s fun to use and adds good variety to my workouts. However, there are a couple of disappointments. The description and the instructions both say the rower is Bluetooth capable, but it isn’t, which was frustrating to discover. And this morning, the Velcro foot strap tore after only four days of use. I’m not sure if replacement straps are available, but it was definitely discouraging. Overall, it’s a solid machine for the price, but these issues are worth noting for potential buyers.

I added the Compact Adjustable Rowing Machine to my home gym. It is the 3rd Sunny Health & Fitness Equipment I've purchased. At my age, this one will be my favorite. At 64, I needed something simple, not to complicated to master, not to heavy (for storing away), and an excellent piece of equipment for strength training. After a week, I am so completely happy with it. This rowing machine is by far the easiest one to put together. I'd recommend by-passing the user manual and to watch one of several setup videos available. The user manual I received included diagrams that do not apply to the actual setup. Once you get it setup, adjust your tension levels and have at it. I read some reviews that was critical of the limitations of what you can do with the machine. I ignored those complaints. This rowing machine is basic. If you're looking for something that has tons of bells and whistle, this ain't it. I didn't want the bells and whistles, so I am pleased. There are different things you can do with this. Overhand pull, underhand pull, adjust your body (arms) for wider motion pulls, etc. Let your imagination run wild. There is a newer model that has the monitor separate from the bar. I'm thinking it was upgraded because when that bar makes contact with your stomach sometimes the monitor resets. This was not important to me as I log my exercise via my Fitbit. Also, the only app I am interested in, is my Fitbit app LOL. Some reviewers/commenters have negative things to say about watching TV while exercising. Yet, they have no problem with watching videos (exercise and non-exercise) videos from their phone. I say "wa-wa-wa" to those folks! I have my rower directly in front of my TV and have found that after my 1st week, I have moved the tension from "2" to "5", and had been on the rower for 30 - 45 minutes. After every workout, I feel it in my body. That's a good thing! This rower is an excellent addition to your home gym. I do my 10K steps per day and this rower daily. I push myself on the rower so that my heart-rate is between 115 - 125. On days that I do "heart-rate rising" housework (an example is mopping), I used my Sunny Health & Fitness Squat Assist Row-N-Ride. I highly recommend the Sunny Health & Fitness Rowing Machine. You'll feel the BURN in a good and welcoming way!

We purchased this rower as a gift for a daughter who was away on a long term internship and needed a way to exercise. We purchased it based on the low price and the generally positive reviews here on Amazon and elsewhere. I recently had the opportunity to use the rower and wanted to add my perspective, as I row almost daily using a different machine. My personal rower is a Water Rower. I can’t say enough good things about the Water Rower, and if your budget allows for it, I’d strongly recommend it. If you’re interested, you can read my Water Rower review here on Amazon. But … if you’re here, you’re probably looking for something in a much lower price range. My review of the Sunny uses the Water Rower as the “gold standard” for comparison. Overall, there is a lot to like about the Sunny, especially for the price. It is compact, very easy to set up and use, and it provides a good cardio workout. Compared to the Water Rower, the Sunny provides much more of a leg workout, and much less of an upper body workout. It also doesn’t provide as much of a core workout, but there is some core involved. The reasons for this have to do with the motion and forces with the Sunny mechanism. The force during the stroke starts out moderate, then increases, then decreases rapidly. The net result is that you pull harder in the part of the stroke when you use your legs. The Sunny also has an incline on the seat rail, which adds to the leg workout. Finally, because the movement of the handle is in an arc, at the end of the stroke you’re not able to bend back and pull the handle to your chest as you would on a higher-end rower. As some others have noted, the pneumatic cylinder can get warm, and when it heats up its resistance decreases. I noticed this kick in around 10 minutes into my session. There is a dial on the cylinder that you can turn to adjust resistance, and you can use this to compensate for this loss of resistance if you want. You’re OK turning the plastic dial even when the cylinder warms up, but you won’t want to touch the metal part of the cylinder. I can’t vouch for the reliability of the Sunny, because it is only a few months old. I can’t see much that could fail except for the cylinder (which can be easily replaced) or the monitor (which is not strictly necessary anyway). Bottom line, for the price point, this is probably the best workout equipment you can buy. I’ll close this review with a brief summary of pros and cons for the Sunny: Pros: Inexpensive Very quiet Resistance easily adjustable over a wide range Easy to set up and use Very compact and easy to move Good cardio and leg workout Very comfortable seat Comfortable footrests with wide Velcro straps Cons: Pneumatic cylinder heats up after a few minutes of use Resistance decreases when cylinder heats up Not much of an arm workout Less of a core workout than a higher end rower Not able to “pull” a long stroke because of the fixed arc movement No true “erg” functionality – the monitor just counts strokes and time
