YOSUDA Magnetic/Water Rowing Machine for Home - Rower Machine Use with Bluetooth, App Supported, Rowing Machine for Beginners to Athletes, Comfortable Seat Cushion

As a 69 years old woman who walks daily and lifts weights, I wanted something low-impact but effective. This rower has been a wonderful addition to my routine. It's quiet, smooth and easy on my joints. Assembly was straightforward, and can be stored upright. It works well for 20-30 minutes sessions and I pair it with my fitness tracker for better data. This rower may not be ideal for elite athletes, but for home fitness, it's excellent value.

Packaging was very good, and installation took about an hour. The quality seems good and it is solid and stable. I am getting a good workout and it seems to be durable. Time will reveal the true quality. I downloaded the app to track my workout and can get a good workout even on rainy and cold days. It stands up easily and stores away to minimize room clutter . For the almost bottom of the line price, the quality and functionality seem pretty good. My only complaint is that one of the bolts for the pedal was partially stripped but enough of the thread was good enough to hold it together with some heavy use. Hope it holds.

Pretty great machine, especially for the price! (My set up is just the machine on an equipment mat on hardwood.) Pros: The machine was extremely easy for 1 person to set up and the instructions were clear to follow. Noise isn’t really a factor to me considering it’s a water rower, but I will say the sound it does produce is relaxing and enjoyable. The bluetooth connection works fine for the app I’ve tried it with, you just have to do a few strokes first to “activate” the bluetooth as simply turning the monitor on does not seem to. In terms of actually working out on it, I’m extremely pleased so far. I’ve used it multiple times a week, every week, for 8 months and haven’t noticed much wear. The seat is comfortable enough for the 30-60 minute sessions I typically do and I’m able to work up a good sweat on it (at resistance level 1, as well). I also love the double rail set up as it always feels more sturdy to me than a low-midrange single rail machine. A major pro so far has been customer service. I’ve reached out about 2 things and they’ve been extremely helpful and responsive both times. Most recently, it came time to add fresh water purifying tabs and I reached out to customer service to find out about the water capacity for each resistance level in order to determine how much to put in and they actually measured and got back to me. 10/10. Cons: The foot pedals that come with the water rower have a tri-glide mechanism, not velco straps, and they’re arranged so you tighten pulling away from the machine/your foot instead of towards. For me, this makes it difficult to tighten the straps while my foot is in the machine. The straps also loosen over time during my workout, so I usually stop a few times throughout to remove my foot, retighten and slot back in. Not a huge deal but velcro or something else would be much better in my opinion. Also, fwiw, I wear a size 8.5 women’s and the straps are just a touch higher than ideal across my foot. Aside from this, no complaints. Buy this machine.

UPDATE: Customer service was excellent and responded quickly to send a replacement seat and rollers, which resolved the problem. This company clearly cares about their customers and will make sure you have a product you are happy with. I’ve updated my star rating to 5, as the rowing machine now functions perfectly. It is well made, smooth, quiet, and a great addition to our home gym. Let’s see how long it lasts, but so far this is well worth the price tag. EARLIER REVIEW: Very disappointed - just assembled this brand new rowing machine and the seat is not gliding properly. It appears to be sticking / grinding on the metal rail. We have assembled everything meticulously according to the instructions and the Yosuda chat bot on their website told me to buy a new seat! Hoping a human customer service actually replies to my email and helps resolve this. If so, I will update my review to 5 stars, because otherwise it seems very well made and robust.

I have no experience with a machine like this, but I have a bad ankle and can't walk for exercise like I used to. And I just don't like gyms. So I need something for a full body workout. Did I mention that I'm 71 years old? So this looked like a really good, inexpensive option. First, it was well packaged. Assembly was easy, but I suggest that you use your own tools if you have them. Took about 30 minutes start to finish. I'm 6' 1" and a big guy, and the machine fits me quite well. As advertised, it's smooth, quiet, and user friendly. The mechanism is very smooth and the seat is comfortable enough, but certainly not cushy. So I'm very happy for the price, and I'm hopeful that this is the answer to getting a good workout and losing some weight. The machine will do, the rest is up to me.

Excelente. Fácil montagem. Para pessoas até 1,80m.

Increíble producto, SÚPER VENDEDOR, muy atento y en todo momento pendiente, 5 estrellas en especial por el vendedor!!..

I did loads of research to find this rower. I looked at quite a few of the super expensive ones, but did not want to pay a monthly fee for the classes those other brands offer. Also, I am new to rowing so I didn't want to put a lot of money into this in case I didn't like it. I'm just under 5' and this is just a tiny bit too big for my legs to get to the completely perpendicular position at the start of the stroke, so I pulled out the pin that stops the seat, added a tiny bit of padding to the joint further up, and it works great now. (I'm making that point specifically for other shorties out there). It's quiet and easy to move and was very simple to put together. The screen isn't all that fancy, but it counts time and distance just fine (and some other things like calories, etc.) If you are interested in rowing, especially if you don't have a lot of space, this is a really good item. I've already recommended it, in person, to someone else.

Antes hacia Crossfit y usaba remadoras de las profesionales que cuestan muchi$imo, pero verdaderamente esta no les pide nada. Obvio las de los gimnasio son mas grandes y materiales mas duros, pero se entiende porque esos aparatos la usan cientos de personas, considerando que este aparato solo lo usara la familia, esta excelente. -Los materiales son de excelente calidad -Los niveles de resistencia son perfectos, muchos aquí dicen que el nivel mas alto esta muy suave, se ve que lo dijeron antes de usarla, con 5 minutos en el nivel de en medio ya sientes que te arden las piernas y sudas mucho. -El armado fue muy muy facil, lo puedes hacer solo y sin complicaciones. (obvio hay que tener noción de usar herramientas, no se va a armar solo). LA RECOMIENDO, estoy muy contento con mi compra

Got this yesterday and tried it today with the following thoughts. Pros: 1. great workmanship. the machine is pretty well built. can't say about the electronic parts as it's only been two days, but otherwise the machine is very solid. 2. very compact and lightweight. I live in apartment. so this is very important. 3. quiet. at the normal speed around 22-26 strokes, the foot pedal makes louder noise than the big wheel. 4. great app and hardware integration. I downloaded the app and pair it with my iphone and apple watch all together. now I can use watch as real time heartbeat sensor, iphone front camera as optical sensor and display everything on the phone screen. It's extremely help to see the data to make sure I can maintain target heart rate and good stroke speed during the entire workout. it would be perfect if the app can support watch with ipad, but that's not machine's issue. Cons: 1. installation. video only is outdated with the first set of screw installation being completely different from what's in the paper manual. Same goes for the parts and part numbers as they changed. In the manual, some minor mistakes on how the flat washer and spring washer should be stacked. one place said it correctly, then the others said it differently which was wrong. 2. not enough resistance. I am not a big strong guy(5'9", 158lbs), but I am starting all the way with 16 the max. It's good enough for cardio fat lost and endurance I believe, but not good enough for strength. 3. I bought the more expensive 02-magnetic pro version, but at the front of the wheel, it's missing a pad at the front which gives it two options to store the machine. With the pad, I can store the machine upright without having to folder it which actually uses less space than folding it. The cheaper 01-magnetic rower does have that.
