“Unbeatable for the price. I have access to a Technogym Smart and a Concept2 and while these are great machines, they are 4 (!) times more expensive! Also, the magnetic flywheel is more silent than the air (or the water resistance) and makes this ideal to use in an apartment. What would I like to see improved? The handle is better on the Concept2, and the footrests are a bit awkward to use (I have fixed a pair of Crocs to them and I row without shoes). The major thing that's frustrating is the absence of software compatible with it -- there's nothing majorly difficult in measuring cadence and speed and transmitting them to an app on the phone. If it works with a Bluetooth heartbeat chest strap, there's no reason why the same data couldn't be used through an app. I won't upgrade to a Concept 2 just for the app, but ... it's such a missed opportunity.”

“Found this to be an adequate machine for home use with just enough resistance on max for me. Smooth action once you get used to it and for a reasonable price.... however after 4 months the bungee cable running under the seat has frayed and snapped... Now waiting to see if I can obtain a replacement otherwise its useless.”

“Easy setup and comfortable to use. Good start! Particularly like the fact that you can do lots of different exercises and not just row on this machine. It folds up too, which is handy. I’m very happy with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone who, like me, is trying to get fit again. It definitely lets you wake up muscles you forgot you had! If it lasts it’ll be a bargain. So far so good.....”

“Initially happy with this machine and aside from a bit of movement during use (fixed with a mat) it was absolutely fantastic. A particular plus being the monitor console. However in less than a few months in the elastic cord has almost worn through. This may be a flaw or a design issue but it seems that the cord was wearing on the metal inside the handle. The company have very been helpful in arranging a refund.”

“The quality is quite good once fully assembled and is easy to use. A few seat problems to assemble correctly which required a metal file and hacksaw to sort out(!) but once 'fixed' runs smoothly. It came 'free' as part of a special offer package so probably wouldn't have sorted out myself if it wasn't free. `The machine can take adults approx 100kg so quite sturdy and gives a good workout. Not quite the same quality as a professional gym but more than adequate for home gym use. Would have scored Very Good if it wasn't for the seat problem.”

“It’s a good starter machine which is what I was looking for like the race mode as motivates me!”

“I bought the machine in January and made good use of it on a weekly basis. Unfortunately after just 8 months the cord had worn down and partially snapped. It may have been because the cord was wearing against a piece of plastic and may be a one off as I have not seen any other comments similar. The company I bought it through arranged for a replacement and tried to make this as quick and easy as possible. The new machine is working fine so far. I like the fold away aspect and the settings are good.”
