Sunny Health & Fitness SF-RW5801 Magnetic Rower W/LCD Monitor with Bottle Holder

For a magnetic one this appears, so far, to be quite a catch. It's not an easy task picking out a good "affordable" rower. However, a decision had to be made as we prepare the break area here at the office for when people start coming back to work in the building. It's going to be a break-time wonderland when everyone sees what has changed and this is just one of the many improvements. Mostly because it works really well. At first (right now), we have built it at one of our homes alongside some other equipment. To break it in and make sure it works ;0) -- This is also because the break area at work is getting a new floor. So might as well get some use out of it somewhere until it is ready to be slid onto the back of a small truck and taken there. With that being said, it is easy enough to move around that it won't be difficult at all come time. It doesn't take up much space outside of the length (like most small to mid-size rowers), and two people can easily carry it around without breaking much of a sweat. It went together within 20 mins with one person putting it together as the other one hung out for emotional support but didn't touch anything. There wasn't a difficult step in the procedure and they give you everything you need. Outside of a knife to open the box and materials with, no tools were needed. When it comes to performance, it isn't a Concept 2, but it wouldn't be fair to associate the two since the Concept 2 is so much more expensive than an affordable one like this. So if you are hoping for Concept 2, get a Concept 2 (we've noticed a lot of people recommend it in the comments here on Amazon). However, not everyone is looking to spend that kind of money. So if you are looking to keep it reasonable in price, this is a top option for sure. It seems to perform quite well and quietly at that. The only downside is the LCD display is as simple as it comes. You get your normal stats and that's it. No games or anything special. It does, however, handle a good amount of weight and function well for what a rower is supposed to do (row). So it functions well and does it quietly, and goes together quickly. One person can do all the work and the price is right (especially when it is on sale). Is it perfect? No. Nothing is, but the only thing we could find was that the middle support foot doesn't' touch the ground unless you have someone heavy enough on the machine. So worst-case scenario, if this bothers you, stick a thin-ish piece of wood or a book under it to help add some support. It hasn't been noticeable to us thus far, but it could change when it moves to the hard surface at the office. Beyond that, we haven't run into anything to complain about. Of course, we will update if anything has a meltdown. We will also try to come back and add images once Amazon ever gives us consumers the option to do that again. **If you have found our review helpful, please vote it as helpful below so we know.

I'm 53 yo female and have gotten fairly out of shape over the last 8 years. (I used to be quite athletic and fit) I'm also in menopause and gained 30 lbs from this. To top it off, I live out in the country where there are no sidewalks for safe walking. It also rains here and we get seasonal weather like snow. I bought this rower after doing a lot of research. I wanted something in my price range but also good quality. This fit the bill so I bought it. I assembled it by myself, no problem. First off, this thing is QUIET. I am really noise-averse so I was so happy about how quiet this is. Q-U-I-E-T Second, I am nearly 6 feet and I have plenty of room on this. I've read comments about the lack of resistance. Look, if you are on this thing, like I am, between 30-60 minutes, YOU WILL FEEL IT. This is not weight training. You get cardio and strength with this, not isolated, concentrated muscle use. If your form is good, you will have sore everything the next day from using this. I had no idea how much it worked my legs until I woke the next day with sore glutes, hamstrings, and thighs. I was shocked. (and delighted) I vary my workouts between 1 and 4 resistance (it goes to 16) and I FEEL it. My sweetie, who is both younger, taller, and fitter, at first commented on the lack of resistance and made fun of it. I got him to row at a 16 and it beat him up and he was sore the next day. He now respects it as legit. I did buy a rower seat pad just because I want it to be as comfortable as possible. I put in my ear buds and an audio book and close my eyes and row. I never imagined I would so enjoy working out. I truly am loving this thing. It doesn't hurt my joints, I feel stronger, I am sleeping better, I can do it any time/weather, it doesn't bother anyone in the house because it's so quiet - just an overall win and great investment. I have finally found exercise I will do. I've also researched rowing as a form of exercise and study after study shows that you work 86% of the muscles in your body and you get cardio and strength at the same time. I am rowing daily and find that, unlike literally every other kind of exercise, I'm not resisting or finding excuses to not do this. I ordered a book that suggests different types of workouts on a rower so I can expand my reality about what's possible with this thing. I watched a youtube video to learn proper form and have experienced no back or joint pain at all. If you like to row or want to, and can't afford a $1200 machine, this one really does a good job. I am really pleased.

Good exercise for this 76 year old senior woman, using 14 on pull. Easy to assembly, did it with my 10 year old grandson. Only thing I do not like—screen with stats is very small and dark (cannot see it while rowing), and foot pedals are huge, even though I have a 10.5 size foot, my feet slide around the pedals and I am using the straps, but still annoying while rowing. Solid machine, price okay.

very good product

Produit conforme, Bien emballé, délais de livraison respecté.

椅子部分が想像よりしっかりしていて、動きがスムーズです。 もっとギシギシいったりするのかと思っていましたが、全くそんなことはないです。 ベルトの音もほとんどないので、全くうるさくないです。 負荷調整もでき、かなりいい全身運動になります。 ほかのマシンを使ったことがないので、比べようがないですが、この値段でこの品質なら買いです。 特別な機能が必要ない小さめの体格の人なら、この型で十分だと思います。 思った以上に大きな箱で届きます。そして重いです。玄関に上げるまでに一苦労しました。 片付けまで何とか1人でやり切りましたが、2人いたほうがいいと思います。 取扱説明書と部品のパッケージに番号が書いてあるので、組み立てはそんなに難しくありませんでした。 主要な部品を幾つかのボルトでつなぎ合わせるだけです。ネジ回しなども付いているので、道具を買い足す必要もありません。 折りたたんで部屋の隅に置いておくことはできますが、使う時には結構な長さになるので、それなりのスペースが必要です。

I have had several budget rowing machines at home in my (long) life, but this equipment is the best. It's stable, and your feet remain in front of the resistance machine. This allows you to move further forward and bend your knees more. I wasn't expecting a resistance comparable to gym equipment, but it's fair for me, and my wife loves it.

premiere fois que je vois une notice de montage aussi simple, facile et pratique. montage express toute seule. un seul reproche, pour un 37, les pédales sont vraiment trop grandes mais je fais avec.
