CHAOKE Magnetic Rowing Machine, 16 Levels Resistance, Brown, LCD Monitor, 350 Lbs Weight Capacity, Foldable, Space-Saving Vertical Storage

The media could not be loaded. Wow, I am absolutely amazed how well is this rowing machine made.It came in a quite small box, all parts were well secured.All screws and tools were included.After putting it all together (that took around 25 minutes) it appeared to be a standard size rowing machine.Workout is brilliant, you can choose the level of the tension, it's working so quietly and smoothly.There is a screen that is clearly showing amount of calories, distance, time.Above it there is a holder to hold your mobile/tablet.It's truly brilliant and worth it's price.100% recommend!

Not happy never worked never had any resistance on the rowing machine from day one - Amazon was suppose to collect never did credited my card and a month later charged me again.The company is non-contactable and as I say Amazon hasn't helped in any way, maybe it is just a one off but as a person working under the anti money laundering and have the ability to profile companies and suppliers internationally and home - this manufacture/suppler appears to cover the correct name of the operating business yet use a retail on-line store that is not traceable - I suspect and people just scrap the product.

Very good, very easy to install, small and exquisite. But very sturdy. Very good fitness equipment

You get what you pay for.My only experience of rowing machines was the concept 2 rowers at gyms. My wife however, was desperate for one, and with a concept 2 unaffordable, found this with many good reviews. It is relatively cheap.But at £170 in a promotion- it’s still £170. In my world that the most money I have spent on something for I think 2-3 years! As such I expect it to work.So come New Year’s Eve, I settled in to build it. Annoying to have to… but par for the course. Finally all done. Meh gets on and the clunks are awful. Something clearly wrong.I could have gone through customer services but that would take days/weeks. I guessed a slipped belt was the problem. So a couple of hours to take the cover off (those screws are hidden and annoying!). Sure enough, the belt was off, and added to this the resistance cable was not attached inside.Fiddly but easy enough to fix over all, but 4-5 hours of my life I won’t get back!So now it is all working and my wife is very happy.I however, think it is cheap rubbish.There is no flywheel, so every pill is starting from zero. Nothing like towing in real life or at the gym. I know it is cheap, but honestly, spend more to get better.The up side is the Bluetooth works and through the app can export to strava.It does a job. It will help get you fit. Resistance is fine. But it is cheap… and you can tell. Be prepared to do some DIY repairs on arrival.Those are my thoughts, make an informed choice.

This rowing machine is really simple to put together, clear instructions and pictures come included. However I had an issue with the resistance where there was no difference between 1 and 16.I emailed their customer service team and they explained that due to recent carelessness in the factory, a spring hadn’t been attached to the resistance mechanism.They sent videos on how to open up the machine and re-attach the spring. They recommended a clip, or an elastic band. A zip tie would work too, and I actually used an elastic hairband to keep it in place.This was really easy to do as well, especially with the videos they attached. 5/5 customer service. It would’ve been better if it came functional, but it was easily rectified.

The media could not be loaded. I found this rowing machine to be remarkably smooth and quiet in operation.Setting it up was simple, and even those who aren't particularly confident with assembling flatpack furniture would find it easy to manage. The rower feels solid, there’s no wobbling, even when I’m pulling as if preparing for the Oxford-Cambridge Boat Race.The adjustable resistance levels perform well, though I’ve barely ventured beyond level 8 (perhaps the more ambitious version of me will give it a go in the future). It’s a fantastic option for exercising at home without disrupting anyone; my son, who studies late, hasn’t mentioned any noise complaints, which speaks volumes.Also the Bluetooth connection is very simple and I found I could download and connect to the Swift app and the Kinomap app on my iPad with no issue.with gorgeous video footage from around the world to make the workout all the more interesting including racing or pacing others. Much as these apps are very good especially Kinomap they are not free apps although I'm sure there will be compatible free apps out there to try.Additionally, the LCD monitor, while useful for keeping track of progress, feels somewhat dated when compared to modern technology. That said when using bluetooth with an app on my iPad the monitor display is not in use as all work out data is displayed in the apps and you can project your iPhone or iPad to the TV and don't use the built in display.In summary I found it’s a great way to stay active during work breaks or when the Scottish rain rules out a cycle ride and using apps on your iPad takes the experience to a whole new level is its far more immersive and enjoyable.

Quick delivery, easy to put together, looks great, compact rower. However there isn't any difference between level 1 and level 16 resistence. I've heard this is a common fault but i don't know how to fix.

Pros -Reasonable PriceGood resistance settingCompact size and not heavyCons-Footrest is positioned too forward(I think its because of the size limit), so you cannot go full stroke. It is OK if you only want some workout, but it won't simulate actual rowing - at about 90 degree knee bend the handle is already fully retracted.
