“Our third rower, last one didn't last a year before the bad design made us look for a replacement. Have owned Kettler products in the past and so knew the brand was well designed and built. This rower was heavily discounted so brought it into our price range - easy to build - just follow the drawings - exceptionally well made, good solid machine will last for years. Seat is comfortable and rolls well, the tension is great, we were on the last setting of the last rower and struggled to break into a sweat - now on tension 3 of 8 - so plenty to go at. My only gripe is the computer - there is no backlight, so very difficult to see the display - also it is placed high so blocks the field of vision ( I like to look out of the window - all I can see is the dark screen. But apart from this an excellent machine and I am pleased with the purchase.”

“This is a great rower. Having only used ones in the gym I wasn’t sure what to expect but this is a solid piece of home equipment that provides a solid workout. It’s also so quiet which is perfect for home use.”

“This is the second Kettler product I have purchased and it has not disappointed. Build quality is excellent. Assembly instructions take a bit of studying but I put it together in an hour. Functions well and it will be a long time before I run out of resistance settings.”

“I bought ths rowing machine as it quieter, smaller and easier to set up than the others that I looked at online, however there is a major design flaw which means I cannot recommend this machine to others. It was fairly easy to put together out of the box, although it would be easier with 2 people as the instructions were less than ideal, so lots of referring back to the instructions to ensure you've got it right. It doesn't take up much room when not in use and it is very quick to prepare to row on it (less than 10 seconds) and it is quiet to use with a nice smooth action with a constant pull on the cable as you row. The computer is fine if a little hard to read at times but I do not really use it apart from the stroke count and timing my rows. Now I come to the design flaw, the design used means that the nylon cord rubs against itself as it winds round the drum on each stroke causing it to fray. I wore out the first cord after just 3 months (using it every day for 30 mins) and the replacement was no better despite using a lubricant as advised by the engineer who replaced the first cord. It is such a shame as without this flaw the machine would be an good home rowing machine.”
