  • Seems like a really solid machine. Smooth operation, a great budget rower.
Style: Classic Color: Black
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. ... show more

  • Great for someone looking for exercise through the winter
Style: Classic Color: Black
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. ... show more
