Sunny Health & Fitness Compact Rowing Machine With Smooth Motion

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.

I bought this in early January and have since put thousands of reps on it. It’s been working great, no issues, and I’m happy with the workout it gives me. Here are a few things I was uncertain/unclear about when I bought it, so hopefully this will help someone else.

I’m 6’1, so one concern I had was whether the sliding rail would be long enough for me when my legs are fully extended. I was happy to find that it’s long enough, with even a few inches to spare. There’s no knocking of the seat against the back during my workout.

There are 16 levels of resistance on this machine, and I’d say there is a noticeable difference between each one. My wife usually uses it on 12 and I usually range between 14-16. Don’t worry about the resistance being enough. Level 16 will be more than adequate for most people, and definitely on par with the rower I used to use at my gym on the highest setting. Besides, consider this: a certain level of resistance may not seem like much doing if you’re just doing a few reps, but when you do a few hundred in a session it adds up to be a different thing. Plus your pace and technique have a huge effect on the quality of workout you get as well. So, I’ve no complaints about the resistance.

I’m really glad we bought this, especially for the sale price of $200 CAN at the time. You can tell it’s not a professional rower, but it doesn’t feel overly cheap or at all rickety to me. So far, it’s been a solid budget machine and a great value overall.

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.
