Let's be clear: I have never, in my life, rowed a boat competitively. The closest I've ever gotten was being woken up by a cockswain yelling the cadence to rowers when I was in college. Poor guys were on the water by 6 AM. I have no idea what those folks would think of this machine. For me, though, it's excellent. Set-up: The machine is relatively easy to assemble, and it comes with (very basic versions of) all the tools you'd need to do so. Sunny provided all the hardware on one vacu-sealed, labeled card. Between the manual and that card, every piece is numbered, and the illustrations in the manual make it very easy to tell what goes where. My only complaint about the illustrations is that it isn't entirely clear which end of the long support goes to the front and which way to mount the seat. Looking at an actual photo of the machine tells you the stickers go toward the back and the leg depressions go forward, so from there, everything was good to go. Using my own electric screwdriver (and otherwise using the provided tools), the time between opening the box and rowing my first stroke was about 90 minutes. I really appreciated that Sunny included both a funnel and a simple transfer pump for adding and removing water. I over-filled it at first, and the pump made it really easy to get it down to the level I wanted. Operation The machine works great. The mechanics are very smooth, and it's very quiet while in use. The water makes a light "woosh" noise that's actually really pleasant. I set this up downstairs, away from our baby's room, but I would be comfortable using it in the room next to his without fearing that it would wake him up. I filled the bubble to level 3. A review on another site said that 6 felt like rowing in real water "with a little extra," and that's not what I was going for. At level 3, I can keep a nice slow-ish pace and build up my heart rate, or I can push harder or do intervals to really get going. The monitor is the real reason I chose this model over the cheaper magnetic model, also from Sunny. This version counts strokes per minute, and that was important to me. Online training videos use strokes per minute as a reference point, and I wanted to be able to follow along with those. Weak Points Only a couple of weak points on this machine: 1. No place to stand a phone/tablet up. There's a depression in the front unit where you can *store* a phone (iPhone 8 Plus with an Otterbox-style case fits with room to spare), but it's horizontal so you can't watch the screen. If you plan to watch workout videos or your favorite TV show while using this, you'll have to find a way to stand your device up independent from this machine. 2. The LED monitor picked up a pulse reading from somewhere even though I don't use a heart monitor. I imagine this is an issue with the heart monitor radio standard itself - interference from something else in my house. And it isn't consistent, just something clocking in at 70-ish beats per minute every now and then. No idea what it is, but not an issue for me. If you plan to use a heart monitor band that connects wirelessly to the machine, you might run into a similar issue, but I can't say that for certain. Overall I'd recommend this for anyone looking to establish/maintain a general level of fitness with an indoor machine. It's quiet, it's an efficient workout, and the price is almost unbelievable for the quality of machine that you get.

My wife and I were thinking about buying a water rower when we tried one out in a store this winter while we were in South Carolina. The manufacturer of that machine made an "attractive" looking model with several colors of wooden frames...costing about $1000. When we returned home in NY, and the Covid 19 "Stay at Home" guidelines were instituted, I started looking online for a water rower...I came across this model which was listed as "Amazon Choice"...and less than half the price of the Waterrower. After reading many reviews and considered the price and Amazon recommendation, I ordered one on April 4th...It arrived on April 14th. I left the box in my garage and brought it piece by piece into my basement for assembly. After I ordered it, I purchased enough !8x18 mat rubber squares at Home Depot to make a padded floor for the rower on my concrete floor...mine is about 106"x55" (more than enough to accommodate the rower). Assembly was not difficult at all...it took me a little under 2 hours working alone...mainly because I was being cautious and trying to read carefully. The directions are not bad...could be more descriptive...but with care, you can figure it out quite easily. My basement ceiling is NOT quite tall enough to stand the machine upright, so I have no intention to move it around. That's no big deal to me considering where we use it...and when I saw in reviews that a few people had problems with the water leaking, it seemed to me that it was when it was stored upright. When I filled the tank to the maximum depth, it is below the seam in the top and bottom of the tank, so I'm confident that the leaking issue is not a concern when the machine is stored flat in operating position. Now, using the rower is the best part ! It is quiet and smooth...the sound of wooshing water is soothing and one can't even hear it from the rest of the house. I brought a tv into the basement to encourage us to prolong our workouts....it's not necessary to blast the volume on the tv to be heard over the rower. My wife is new to rowing but loves it and has used it every day. I find the seat comfortable enough to get a 1 hour workout without my butt hurting....something I could never do at the gym without using a folded towel to cushion the seat. Granted we've only had this machine for a week, so I can't speak about the longevity, but the solid quality at this time suggests that we will be pleased with it for a long time. Our basement has been used only for laundry and storage in the past. Now we're saying "I'm going to the gym...hope that rowing machine I like isn't taken"...:) Follow up: Six months into owning this machine: I use it EVERY day for 1 hour or more (thank goodness for Amazon Prime tv and Netflix)....changed the water in the tank this morning as recommended after 6 months...no problem. I still love the workout, the smooth operation and quality of the machine. I did drill a hole in each of the foot pedals and secured them to the frame with a flat head bolt, a washer and nut so they no longer pivot. Some reviewers complained about that pivot action...I didn't find it a problem but I do like it better now that the foot rest is in a fixed position. Sunny Health makes a great machine.

Bought this in March of 2019 and use it ~3x a week so I feel comfortable finally leaving a review. This has been great as a more reasonably priced rower. I have been using this religiously for 3x a week since I purchased. Assembly was pretty straight forward and I had it put together in 15-20 min with the help of another person. The first year was great. The only issues I found was that for anyone taller than 6’3” (longer legs) it is probably too short of a body. I also was pregnant and using this and found that once I had a larger belly and needed to lower my feet down, there is no capabilities on this model, but again, for the price, I wasn’t expecting it, but, it would have been nice. The handle strap broke clear off within a year and a half and, in turn, screwed up my belt so I have slack (picture shown) where I shouldn’t and can’t completely do a proper stroke anymore. Unfortunately there are no how-to videos for repairs for this and the videos out there are for rowers with a different pulley system so not as helpful. The company has no videos themselves and assembly of this was already done when the product arrived. So I don’t have any reference to go by if I wanted it. Since then, I’ve sewed the strap (picture shown) as it was more cumbersome going through customer support to identify broken parts and then figure out how to replace (plus it’s on my dime). I’ve had also noticed light leaking (after the first year) when in an upright position so I had stopped storing that way but noticed wet carpet and found that it wasn’t leaking from the upright storage position after all but underneath where the screws hold it to the body (see photo with rust). I’m not trying to completely downplay the good this rower has done for me but rather pointing out I’ve had it for over 2.5 years and use it consistently. It’s done well for me but the issues I’ve seen long term (I guess they are wear & tear) are not as common on more expensive, well known rowing machines OR they are much easier to fix due to easier assembly systems, customer support and overall assembly and support documentation. I am giving a 4 because I think the issues I have may not show up for others unless you use it a lot. It’s also been great for getting me consistently active and into rowing so I can’t complain on that front. If you want to be more serious - this probably isn’t for you. I needed to prove to myself that I’d use it and I clearly have. Hoping this helps others.

I bought this as an alternative to spending over a thousand dollars on a concept 2. I have rowed for years and my only experience was with concept 2 ergs. So how does this compare? Pretty well actually, would i put an entire team on it all day for practice? Probably not but for individual use at my house, this thing is solid. The max weight is 300 lbs it looks plenty solid enough to hold that. The slide is very smooth the water drive is pretty quiet especially when compared to the fan on a concept 2. Even though its not totally silent the noise is almost pleasant. I wouldn't hesitate to put a competitive rower on it and let them go for their personal best. I'm several years gone away from my peak fitness so I'm not trying to put down sub 7 min 2ks but at the same time I'm 220 lbs and can still pull pretty hard this hold my weight no problem it doesn't flex or grind it feels smooth through the entire stroke. The water at its highest level doesn't feel like its as much resistance as a concept 2 on level 10 but its more than adequate to simulate on water rowing with a bit extra. I'm 5'11" i think anyone over 6' 2" would probably run out of slide before you're done with your stroke. Overall this is a great product that i would recommend to anyone who is looking for a solid rowing machine but doesn't have the budget for a Concept 2. I will post updates after the first 30 days of use and again after that if my opinion changes for any reason.

I got this model rower to replace my Sunny 5515, which has been a great rower for the price for over a year. I just outgrew it and wished to upgrade to something smooth, more intense, but other rowers are so danged expensive. Then this one went on sale and I took the plunge and I am so glad I did. As good as the other rower is, this one is much better. So smooth. Higher off ground. Finally, SPM! My only wish is better contrast in the display, or lighting or something, because it’s impossible to see in the evening. (I do not surround my rower with lights.) At the same time, the surface of the console is too reflective, so late afternoon light coming through shaded windows makes it impossible to read. I wish this was better, but it still doesn’t hurt how wonderful this rower is. And I wish I could row barefoot (not using the straps keeps from hurting your hip joints), but the heel supports on this one are too deep, unlike on the 5515, which I rowed strapless and barefoot all of the time. It also lets me use the rower more on impulse, but not making getting set up to use it such a chore (putting on socks and shoes), and thus exercising more throughout the day. Oh well. Also, when you first open the box, it looks danged scary. Don’t be. There’s only 6(ish) steps in putting it together and nothing was difficult, even with me doing it by myself. Understanding the console is more difficult. WARNING: Don’t just slap those covers for the back legs on, because you won’t line up with the holes and be able to use the screws. I just skipped the screws. If they fall off, I’ll be darned surprised.

I initially found this rower's price point reasonable, and upon receiving it, the build quality seemed solid, meeting my expectations for a rowing machine. However, within six months of use, I encountered issues with the handle and the belt breaking, frustratingly just outside the warranty period. While Sunny H&F provided a replacement for free, the machine's downtime lasted around a week, with no expedited options available. Communication with the company was sluggish, with responses averaging 24 to 48 hours for each email exchange, which didn't quite meet my expectations for prompt customer support. After receiving the replacement belt, which was relatively easy to install, another issue cropped up with the sensor malfunctioning. It took approximately two weeks of back-and-forth, involving sending pictures and videos of the machine, before they agreed to send me a new sensor, albeit at $12. While the sensor replacement was relatively inexpensive, the $15 shipping fee for such a small item seemed excessive. This became more apparent when I purchased a spare bar and strap for future use, which cost $20 but incurred an additional $25 in shipping fees. Sunny H&F justified this as their "discounted shipping rate," but it felt like an attempt to inflate costs for essential parts. The shipping charges seemed disproportionate, especially considering the packaging size of the items, and it appeared as if the company was leveraging these fees to extract more money from customers for replacement parts. Furthermore, the process of placing the order itself was drawn out, requiring almost two weeks of emails, and it's likely to be another week or longer before the part arrives, resulting in nearly a month of downtime for the machine. Overall, while the initial build quality seemed promising, the recurring issues and the sluggish customer service response, combined with what feels like inflated shipping costs, detract from the overall experience of owning this rower from Sunny H&F. ADDITION - 29 May 2024: Since receiving the replacement strap in March, it has already started to fray and is now halfway torn. Despite two weeks of back-and-forth emails, with typical replies from Sunny taking 5-7 business days, they finally contacted their warehouse to check for replacement parts. They confirmed the availability of replacement pieces, with the pull strap and bar costing $20 each, as before. However, shipping has increased by $10, now totaling $35 for "business shipping," which seems like an unjustified markup since shipping this box should not exceed $10. I requested to purchase multiple pulleys to save on future shipping costs, given the poor quality of the parts. Sunny refused to ship more than one part per order, insisting on shipping each part separately and charging an additional $35 per part. This policy seems designed to extract more money from customers. Upon further investigation in the community, it is clear that Sunny has a reputation for low-quality products and subpar customer service. Avoid this brand! Invest in a C2 rower now, as Sunny's poor quality and relentless nickel-and-diming will ultimately cost you more in the long run. Save yourself the headache!

I have only used mine a few times now, so I'll update this review if anything changes. Initial impressions are that this is a great machine at a great price. The rowing action is smooth, and the catch is far enough away from your feet that it's easy to get a full stroke without slamming the pull handle into the machine. i'm about 6'1" or so, and I don't have any trouble with the travel of the seat or the handle, though I suspect someone much taller than me would (i almost max the travel out). I'm especially impressed with the supplied hardware. The fasteners you use to put it together are all button head screws with a hex head, which look nice and are easy to work with. I would recommend some thread locker for some of them, as some are on the bottom of the machine and will undoubtedly work loose eventually. No torque specs are supplied, use your best judgement, I guess. My wife says the machine flexes a bit when I row (I'm 220lbs), but you'll never notice it from the seat. It feels solid and well built. Now, let's talk about those footrests. Mine don't seem to be having any trouble, but I question why Sunny built it this way to begin with. The issue comes down to the way they swivel, which doesn't seem necessary in the first place. Why do they need to swivel? When I row, typically my feet stay in the same spot, and if they move, it's only a tiny bit. They could have bolted the footrests in place securely, and I doubt many people would have a problem with it. It seems like an unforced error, for a feature people don't need. Furthermore, if Sunny wanted them to swivel, it seems like some threadlocker would have secured the bolts in place semi-permanently and people wouldn't have a problem. The computer is basic, but functional. It gives you readouts for strokes per minute, 500m split times, overall time rowed, calories, watts, and maybe others I can't remember. Because resistance can't be changed on the fly (you have to add more water), it doesn't have any pre-programmed workouts. It does have a "race" function though, which basically just means you have to keep a preset pace or fall behind. It's not great, but at least they tried. I just row manually, and the computer is good enough for my purposes. Bottom line, it seems like a great machine. Buy yourself some threadlock from home depot and use it during the the assembly, and I doubt you'll have any problems. if the footrests come loose, threadlock those as well.

I chose this rower because 1) I really wanted a water rower, 2) I wanted a real brand so that I would be guaranteed some level of sturdiness, and 3) I didn't want to drop $1k on one. It showed up on my doorstep and I managed to drag it over to the "home gym" in my garage. It was heavy, as you might expect, but doable. The assembly part was actually pretty easy! I didn't have trouble assembling it myself. Filling the tank was a little more fiddly, but still not bad (and it's not like you have to do that all the time). After looking up what to do if storing it somewhere like a garage that can theoretically get below freezing, I added a fair amount of rubbing alcohol in with the water. Still, when we got a blistering cold snap of like -30F out of nowhere, I tilted it up and rolled it inside until it was over. (Not the easiest thing to do, but still not bad! The little wheels helped, even if it's heavy and awkward. Using it is pretty nice. It feels very stable to me. The action is smooth, and I like that it has Velcro on the pedals. I keep the tank pretty full because I do want it to work my arms and shoulders a bit, in addition to being cardio, and that seems to work pretty well. Now, the bad news is that the computer isn't connected up right. I put in the batteries and it powered up, but it doesn't know that strokes are happening, so it just goes back to sleep in a minute or two. I emailed them about it and they recommended trying to make sure there wasn't a break in the wire connection. I followed them as well as I could and never found a breakage, so it's possible it was closer to the magnets (or that the magnets weren't correctly places). Unfortunately, trying anything else would mean having to disassemble the whole thing, including the parts that came pre-assembled, and I don't trust that it would for sure work again after I got it back together. So sadly I just won't ever know my strokes per minute or anything, so I won't be able to track my progress as I get better at it. Not really worth sending it back for, given how big and heavy it is, but it's frustrating given how much I paid for it. So I guess be aware that it's a possibility and maybe pop the batteries in real quick before assembling the whole thing if it's a dealbreaker for you and you think you might need to send it back.
