JOROTORowing Machine, Air Magnetic Foldable Rowing Machines for Home Use, Rower Machine with 49.5" Rail, Backlit Monitor, Bluetooth, App Supported, Tablet Holder

After reviewing several rower in various price ranges we decided to try this JOROTO Rower. We felt that the combination of features, quality, price and good reviews made it a well worth checking out.First, it arrived when expected and we received a security code via email to read to the delivery person. The rower was packed very well and nothing was damaged or missing.Second, this rower was fairly easy to assemble, although I would have preferred that the individual parts be lettered or numbered. But that's a very minor detail because each part was pretty easy to identify. It appears to be very sturdy when completely assembled.Third, when I tried it out it did not disappoint. It's very smooth and really quiet when in use. The display monitor is pretty decent. It requires two C batteries (included) and doesn't need to be plugged into an electric outlet. That's a big plus in my opinion. It works well with the Kinomap application, which I downloaded from the app store on my phone. It's said to be compatible with other fitness apps as well, but I have yet to try them out. I decided to mirror my screen to my smart tv so all the training videos and scenery are big and beautiful. I love how fluid this rower is and it is very comfortable to use. The resistance is pretty decent and easily adjustable.So far I'm very happy with this purchase and my wife and kids love it. We've tried other rowers that cost much more, but we all agree that this JOROTO rower is a great combination of good features and affordability. I would definitely recommend it.

I have used the Concept 2 for over 20 years. I reviewed the MR60 and decided to take a chance on this new rower. While it was several hundred dollars cheaper than the Concept , the unit seemed well made. I decided to take a chance on a purchase. The MR60 is well made. It was somewhat easy to put together. The machining of pieces were fairly exact , so everything fit together nicely. The rear bumper stop for the seat I initially put on upside down; but quickly noticed and reversed it.I checked out the Kinomap App that is supported with this rower and ultimately decided not to use it . The rower performed nicely... it was quiet and smooth. The rowing movement was fluid. The resistance knob worked well and indeed offered an extra challenge. I have worked out for years. At age 74 I am in fairly good shape. I ended up using setting 4 and 5 . I am not sure I will ever reach resistance level 10. It is hard. My only complaint is that the monitor lights up for a few seconds, then darkens. That probably prolongs battery life. I needed to shine a lamp ( light) directly on the monitor screen to view the data as I rowed. The data seemed accurate and the monitor otherwise worked well.I was most impressed by the customer service. They seemed to be located in China; but that was not a problem. They were responsive and courteous . I got replies to my e-mails in less than 24 hours. The English was for the most part written clearly and understandable. Over all I am very satisfied. I set my machine in front of a 55" high def TV and watch YouTube rowing videos while rowing. There is also a place to put a iPad just above the monitor. Rowing to the various videos was indeed a cool and pleasant experience. The quiet and smooth operation of the rower enabled me to view the video sounds without difficultly or interference. I would buy this machine again.

I just received my JOROTO MR60 rowing machine after doing some research online about home rowing machines. I almost bough a Concept 2 but the price was about $1200, this machine was significantly less. Initial impressions are it is well built, the metal and frame are solid, the mechanism is smooth and it folds up easily for storage. I am not mechanically inclined so took my time with assembly by myself and had no issues, took about an hour. The instructions and packages with the parts are easy to understand.

This is a great rower. Good valve for the price. My only grievance is the monitor only tracks total strokes for the workout. With a rowing exercise you need to be tracking strokes per minute. I’m sure if connect to the app that is pointed out in manual you will get SPM. I’m using Apple fitness and can not link rower to that. Still a good quality machine.

Bought this rowing machine during the Amazon Prime sales.Seems like a Concept2 dupe, but made of heavier materials. Much heavier than a Concept2, so some heft to it. But this has a handle and wheels to move around. Compared to dismantling the concept2 rail and moving that in two-pieces.This has a lever to fold on itself to transport and make smaller. While the Concept2 you remove the rail and put away as two parts.This has a fabric chain belt instead of a metal chain one lof the Concept2. I have no idea if that is a significant difference. I do know you need to oil the metal chain of the Concept2 at some later on point.My only complaint is that the screen with your Rowing statistics. It is made to be so damn low contrast. Easy to see read on my camera picture, because the camera adjusts the shutter speed. But it is hard on the eyes, in practice.Do not worry about the red lever for adjusting the pull-strength. It does not get in the way. I have no accidentally hit it. Only a worry on the back of the mind, but it never got hit even once.Noise is about the same level of a Concept2. Will not be heard outside of the room it is left inside. Only the people in the same room will hear the air whirl.I am very satisfied with this device. Buy with confidence! Great value, especially during sales!
