It’s not difficult to assemble at all and pretty easy to get the hang of it. Quite sturdy. When I exercise for a few minutes, I feel like I’ve lost a pretty decent amount of calories. However, the downside is that it’s a bit hard to row. Might be better for someone with good arm strength. But besides that, I recommend it! Very nice full body workout.

I picked this rowing machine for my dad because he wanted a way to stay active indoors. He was really impressed with how smoothly the resistance adjusts, making it easy for him to tailor workouts to his comfort level.

received the package at 2:09 PM today. I couldn't wait to take it out of the box, and was a little confused at first. At first glance, it seemed to be already assembled. After tearing open the plastic packaging, I found that it still needed three parts: handlebars, connecting hydraulic arms, and disassembling the rear crossbar. The whole process was very simple. There wasn't any messy stuff in the package, so it was easy to clean up. I immediately tried it out, and it felt great. I rode it slowly for 5 minutes in the living room. Then I took it outside, and it was really very light. I could even carry it with one hand if I wanted. It fit perfectly in the space I had reserved. The monitor is also very easy to use and convenient to view while exercising. I saw some reviews saying it was complicated. I don't understand why anyone would think that; maybe they've updated the product? Anyway, I was very pleasantly surprised and had no problems using it. Now let's talk about the resistance of this machine, which seems to be the focus of other reviewers' arguments… After taking it outside, I increased the resistance from level 1 to level 3 and trained for a full 15 minutes. Near the end, I did feel a change in resistance, but I realized that as the speed increased, my stroke amplitude also decreased. After correcting my posture, the resistance stabilized. So to clarify, I didn't feel a decrease in resistance. However, its durability is still debatable. My speed wasn't particularly fast, and I maintained a steady pace throughout. Some reviewers also mentioned the size issue; I'm 5'4" (about 163cm) tall and weigh 220 pounds (about 100kg). Yes, I'm a bit overweight, haha, but I had no problems using it. The seat padding could be a bit thicker, but I found a comfortable position after shifting it forward slightly. I noticed a *potential* problem: the footrests seemed a bit unstable. At one point, I had to adjust my foot position because I found that the front of the footrests was bending the plastic part at the back. Perhaps they're supposed to have some flexibility? I'm not sure. I feel like they'll be the first parts that need replacing later. Highlights: Value - 5/5; Size - 5/5; Weight - 5/5; Packaging - 5/5; Assembly - 5/5; Stability - 4.5/5; Resistance - 5/5; Performance - 5/5. Conclusion: Is this gym-grade equipment? No. Is it practical, convenient, and worth buying? Yes. I wouldn't recommend it to Olympic athletes, but it's definitely a good option for the average person who wants to burn some calories while watching TV. Updated March 22, 2020: I weighed 220 lbs (approx. 100 kg) when I wrote my first review. Now I weigh 154 lbs (approx. 70 kg), 14 lbs (approx. 6.3 kg) away from my target weight. The rowing machine still runs smoothly. I use the treadmill and bike for high-intensity cardio, but the rowing machine remains an essential piece of equipment for me. It's great for cross-training. The pedals are still working, which is a bonus

I gave this rowing machine to my brother for his birthday, knowing he loves at-home workouts. He was thrilled with the adjustable resistance, allowing him to customize each session based on his fitness level. It's been great to see him so motivated and enjoying his new exercise routine!

assembled it myself in less than an hour, no problems at all. The workmanship feels very sturdy and smooth, and the waterproof performance is excellent. I filled it with water, and the tension was just right, perfect for high-intensity training. After use, it can be easily stored upright, taking up little space, perfect for my personal gym. The accompanying app is also great; it can track training progress and even allow you to compete with others, making training more fun. Overall, I'm very satisfied. I feel like I'll be using it for a long time.
