  • a great way to get this old lady to exercise
Set name: Smart
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. ... show more

  • Very good workout, very good value
Set name: Classic
Pros - Exercises multiple body areas at one time, very good abdominals workout with the rowing stroke, very good glute workout, fair workout for arms and top of thigh (rectus femoris), fair workout for the upper back It's cheap You can do it indoors away from heat and mosquitos There is a choice of doing resistance/muscle building or aerobic (for resistance dial up the hydraulic and go slow, for aerobic use low resistance and increase your stroke speed) Low impact - I have had no issues with hips, knees or feet This cheap/lower level machine I bought is light weight and I can easily lift and move it from room to room I can watch TV while I exercise Convenience - I don't have to go anywhere to exercise There are 12 levels of hydraulic resistance on the machine I bought - I'm only up to level 4 Assembly was easy with good instructions and doing it alone took about 20 minutes Cons - There is a learning curve to master and get benefit from the machine. The directions that came with the machine were too vague, YouTube had good tutorials - I watched multiple You don't get outside in the fresh air and sunshine - if you strictly exercise indoors vit D deficiency can be a factor There may be an issue with you getting down on the floor or almost floor level to get in and out of the machine (there are more expensive machines that sit chair height but I did not need this - I don't know if you would or not) Other thoughts on the rowing machine - Helpful tips - one of the best YouTube videos I watched said start slow with 3-4 minutes once or twice a day to see how your muscles will respond to rowing. I slowly built up my time and now do 30 minutes straight. I did some research on low impact/high benefit exercises and it came down to either rowing or swimming. I like to swim but compliance to go to the pool and the time factor of exercising away from home made me decide against it. I'm happy with this machine it has a comfortable wide seat, very good/thick cushion on the rowing bar, it has straps for the feet and at first I used them but soon discovered I didn't need them. I rate this machine an extremely good value for the money. ... show more

  • Must Buy!
Set name: Classic
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. ... show more

  • Thoroughly impressed by Sunny products yet again!
Set name: Classic
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! ... show more

  • Used This Rower With Bad Knees, But Beware Of Sciatica . . . .
Set name: Classic
This rower comes in a big, long box, but the box probably weighs no more than 25 pounds, so it's not hard to move at all. (The plastic mailing straps on the box makes moving even easier, because you can grab on to those.) Assembly is simple, too. If you can turn an Allen wrench (included), you can put this together in minutes. Fortunately, the Allen wrench is a heavy duty one, so you can tighten everything really well. Since I was putting the rower in a room with new carpet, I first put down a new carpet runner, since at least one reviewer said theirs leaked hydraulic oil. Mine has shown no sign of that, but at times I can smell the oil. I also ended up having to put it between a wooden bed frame with a platform, that extended a few inches outward, and my printer stand. There was no other good place in the spare room. That ended up perfect, though, since I can use the bed frame and the stand to lift myself off the rower. Getting on and off the rower seat is the only problem I have; and it's a slight problem, not a serious one; due to knee problems. Yes, you can use this rower with bad knees. You do have to bend and extend your knees to properly row, but this is actually more a workout of your arms and core muscles, not your legs. In fact, you can even keep your legs still, if you want, and just workout with the handle bar. That's not the proper way to row, but it does work. When I first got on the rower, I had the tension on #1 and could hardly move the handle bar! Was I in that bad shape? It turned out no, when I then put the tension on #2. That was much, much easier. So, the #1 on my rower was more like #12. So far, I've only been using #2 since I have just started rowing, wanting to take it slow and not get injured. If you know nothing about rowing, I do suggest you read up on it, to insure you are using proper form, because you can injure yourself, just like on any other piece of exercise equipment. For the price, I think this is an excellent exercise machine that is built very well. It's also lightweight enough to easily move out of the way, if need be. The meter I haven't quite mastered, though. I need to go back and read the instructions, since the readings aren't making sense. The meter is no big deal to me, though. I only wished I had ordered this Sunny rower months ago, when I first started looking for an inexpensive rower. P.S. 5/24/21: I was using this rower for short periods of time, on the #2 tension until I started getting lower back pain, as well as some sciatica back leg pain. I never had either before I started rowing. It was not really bad pain, but it was there. Plus, after reading up on sciatica, it said rowing was not a good choice for those with it. Well, I never had it before rowing! :) I had researched how to sit properly, too. To make a long story short, I stopped rowing, fearing the idea of "no pain, no gain" could lead me to have permanent pain I never had before. P.P.S. 6/10/21: Had a full-blown sciatica attack for the first time last week. Now, I did quit rowing some time ago, so can't say the rowing caused it. But, once again, I never had any back or back leg pain before rowing, only knee pain. So, do be careful using a rowing machine, if you have never used one before. Sciatica is very, very painful, although my pain thankfully mostly ended after a few days. ... show more

  • Perfect for casual home rowing for cardio
Set name: Smart
My husband had been on me for awhile about exercising more and the only things I've ever enjoyed were rowing and yoga. We live in a really small place so traditional rowing machines were out. I did some research and this was priced right, compact and lightweight, and didn't plug in. This is not a machine for competitive rowing. But I can't afford that, and don't have the space. However, it is excellent for a great full body cardio work out. The best part is honestly the app. I had no idea how motivating it would be to keep track of my progress with virtually no data entry by me. The Bluetooth connects to the app and tracks the entire workout. Additionally, the app helps to make it like a game. You get points for working out and doing challenges. Plus, when I do a longer row, it's nice that I can do a yoga or Pilates class immediately after without much extra effort. And the yoga after has helped with so many pains that are attributed by old age and working out without stretching properly. Anyway, as a 40 year old woman with ADHD who has serious executive dysfunction, apparently having a machine at home is a huge game changer. I don't have to get ready to go anywhere and I can row whenever I want. Update: Ive now been using this machine for over 7 months. I'm in phenomenal shape, especially my cardio and stamina. I just rowed 10 miles in under 50 minutes, a huge achievement. I let my MIL and FIL borrow it while we had a guest and I couldn't use it and they also bought one they liked it so much. They refuse to use the app which is what makes this machine so great but whatever. ... show more
