Very easy to put together. Only need to put the handle bars on and a put a screw in. Not too noisy, makes some noise but you could still watch tv or whatever while using it. It’s a really good machine for a beginner. I could imagine If you’re very fit this would be too easy for you, but for me just starting out and wanting to build strength it’s perfect. It’s small and lightweight so would easily fit in my cupboard If I wanted it out of the way. Also it didn’t break the bank, very reasonable price. Overall I’m very happy with the purchase.

Excellent for the price. Easy to assemble.

I am a fairly fit and strong septogenarian who went to the gym for 5 classes per week before lockkdown. With the money I have saved with membership fees and petrol to get there I decided to buy some equipment and exercise at home in future. Gym quality it isn't but I wasn't expecting it to be at this price. But it is strong and sturdy for my size and weight (5'2" and 9st.) and would take someone taller and heavier; with my legs extended there is about 5.5"/6" more 'spare' rail at the back. The seat could be more padded but it slides easily along the rail. The handles are comfy and the computer easy to see while rowing. The resistance goes upto 12 (you just turn a numbered dial) and I am at my limit at about 7-8. You can increase the angle of the seat slider which I guess would make it a harder workout. Not the same mechanism as the gym ones and I will need to adapt my technique slightly. After trying it to check it worked ok I would say I'm at the lower to mid end of the height range for use, and with size 4.5 feet the foot straps are not quite tight enough wearing light cross trainers. I will update my review if needs be. It came a day before expected, well packed for transit and easy to open. It was very quick and easy to assemble with only one bit to screw up. I am happy with my purchase at the price I paid. Update: I have adjusted the foot straps by sliding the buckle round to allow more strap to grip the velcro, and after a few goes I have got into a nice smooth technique. The handles are more comfy than the gym's rowers where I had to wear padded gloves. I'm no 'digital wizard' and I'm still sussing out how the computer works, but the display is large enough to see easily and scans slow enough that you don't miss anything when the handle at the point of the stroke when it's down in your lap and not visible. Recap: a good rower for people of most sizes and all fitness. Great range of resistance settings for beginners, those needing rehab and 'serious gym workouters'. I'm fairly fit and strong and it has plenty of 'growing room' for me to improve. Video shows rower set on 1 (lowest resistance), 4, 8 and 12 (highest), and rail on the 1st incline height.

Rowing machine arrived with a few days of ordering with no issues. There is no build to complete just a case of removing some cable ties and installing the handles. It’s very easy to use and we are very impressed. Excellent value for money and very well designed. The rowing position is perfect and it’s easy to manoeuvre. Would definitely recommend.

I've never been to a gym or used any other exercise machines I'm 49 5.9 13st ish and have terminal illness so haven't been getting out so much brought this and cheap exercise bike because I have started getting side boobs I so far have used them both twice daily for around ten minutes each morning and afternoon ish they both work perfectly the rowing machine seems to do my stomach arms shoulder and legs and came with information booklet although I've not read it I think I'm doing it right it has power adjustment on the piston I've been using only on number 3 which seems to give me exercise I sweat from just ten minutes the seat is comfortable enough and the hand grips are soft comfortable good grip but I suspect will end up being sweaty I am a complete novice and have nothing to compare it with but I'd definitely recommend for the price it's working for me minutes seem to go very slow try not to look at a clock 💪 oh it has a little clock instrument thing that says time calories and stuff . It's good

I am trying to build up my strength after long term illness. I didn't want to pay a lot of money in case I couldn't manage the rower, and didn't want something complicated or too powerful. This machine is perfect. It glides well and with no torque on at all still provides a small amount of resistance which was perfect for me as a starting point. Easy to assemble, although I still haven't worked the little computer thingy out and the instructions were next to useless. It's nice and compact and folds to stand in a cupboard. Very happy with the purchase.

Great for the price, but the plastic rollers for the slide mechanism began to fall apart on my first use. Bit of vasseline on the runner has sorted.

Not bad for money, a bit low if you suffer with knee problems but certainly a good piece of kit.
