Sunny Health & Fitness Foldable and Compact Magnetic Rowing Machine, 285 lb Max, Synergistic Motion, LCD Display, Super Quiet, Ergonomic Pedals, SF-RW5801

Bought during lockdown as could not go gym and working from home in back bedroom. Used for 19 mins day. Performance seems sturdy easy storage and easy assembly. Just need to use more.

If you need a rowing machine and don't have a big budget this one is great. We've had it a few months now and it works very well. It was easy for 1 person to assemble and it's nearly silent when you're using it which is a big plus. The only thing I would say is that I noticed the middle bar where it connects doesn't touch the floor (although there is a bit of a 'foot' there) and dips every so slighty on each row. I don't think this would be very suitable for heavier people due to this. If I put a book under it though it fully stabilizes and completely solves the issue. So, in summary, it's a great machine, just put a book under the middle bit for extra stability. It's really not a big deal though and overall I really like it.

Product as described; seems sturdy and provides a rowing action, and takes my weight bonus.

We've only had it for one day but have used it several times already. It's a very quiet rowing machine that looks great. It smooth to use and fits my husbands 5'10" frame easily.He uses it on the highest resistance and it gives him a good work out. It came very well packed.Highly recommended for anybody, like us, new to using a rowing machine.

The media could not be loaded. Very sturdy, easy to assemble cheap, low impact on my back as had surgery.

Very pleased with product

BELOW IS MY REPLY AND IN QUOTES WHAT SUNNY SUPPORT SENT TO ME, ON JUST REQUESTING A FEW WASHERS AND A REPLACEMENT COMPUTER COUNTER. IF THIS IS SUNNY's POLICY ON SENDING OUT THE SMALLEST OF ITEMS THEN I FOR ONE CERTAINLY WOULD NOT RISK BUYING ANOTHER EXERCISE MACHINE FROM THEM, WOULD YOU ?Jerrie this is an absolutely atrocious reply, I am not sure you will, but please pass it up to your superior who I request they confirm this is SUNNY’s policy to customers outside the USA."Unfortunately, we only ship within the United States and do not ship to other countries including the UK"This makes no sense at all, if you don’t ship to the UK, then how did I get it? You can’t be bothered or have a system to get several washers from assembly department and pay the paltry postage to send to me."Please reach out to the original retailer for a replacement unit or refund."Again are you serious, you are telling me to contact Amazon and ask them to replace the whole Rowing Machine so I can get a few more washers, what planet are you on. Do you really think I am going to go to the trouble to take it apart, pack it up, find a company to take it back to England on a ferry which would most likely cost about £50 for Amazon to send me another one and have the same long weight to get again, the build it again so I have the extra washers."In order for the meter to pick up your information, make sure you are doing a full extension. The meter has an internal sensor to register your information"Again another farcical comment, did you actually read what I wrote, here it is again :-Manual states quite clearly "Press MODE button until SCAN appears" .. I am assuming some where the word 'SCAN' appears on the screen, nothing does. The rotation every 6 seconds does occur but as I can't make out the figures not sure they are in the order they are meant to be. Also is there meant to be small bar at the bottom to indicate what mode I have chosen, very difficult to tell. I think any mildly competent person, especially one employed to answer customer’s questions makes very clear that the counter is not displaying dark enough. Also I made it clear I have long legs, which is why I bought your product and would mean I am very likely to do a full extension.Worse still, and sadly is so common, not one acknowledgement to these points.1) Your response web page does not work2) Your very difficult to see numbering in the manual

I return this item after using it several times. It is cheap, easy to setup and works. However, the resistance is too small, even at the maximum level, it feels pointless rowing.

Muy bueno, muy bien construido, sólido , instrucciones claras.Muy recomendable, ha satisfecho mis necesidades.

Firstly, it arrived in 3 days. Assembly was easy, with explicitly clear instructions and all parts easily identified. It is quiet, even in a hard workout. The resistance levels, from 1-16 are true, with 16 being a bit of a struggle, and the lower numbers a good relaxing pull. Great machine for exercise, not so much for training, as the monitor does not show distances or stroke rate, just number of strokes, time and calories burned. It is very sturdy, and the price was much lower than comparable ergs. Oh yes, and the seat is the most comfortable I've ever had.

so, that was a lie. upsetting that i cant connect to the app, thanks for allowing the misleading title amazon. other than that, it seems fine so far. as other have commented the resistance isn't super strong, but for the cost I wasn't expecting it to be amazing. Its decent enough, and its quiet so and that was mostly the aim of this purchase. this will be updated if anything breaks like other are saying.

Produit conforme, Bien emballé, délais de livraison respecté.

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.
