MERACH Rowing Machines for Home, Magnetic Rowing Machine with 16 Levels, Rower Machine of Quiet Resistance, Dual Slide Rail with Max 350lbs Weight Capacity, App Compatible

I’ve wanted one of these for awhile and read many reviews, decided on this one and happy that I did. It was very easy and quick to put together. Good sturdy quality and super quiet. This will be perfect for maintenance workouts and cardio.

This isn't a true rower that a competitive rower would practice on. However, for someone trying to work on their cardio with a whole body workout, it's pretty great. I have gone through a few treadmills, and used to run almost daily for years. However, I felt I was over treadmills due to the impact on my knees and feet even with pretty nice suspension. I love that this rower is so quiet that it could be considered silent. Even if a treadmill is quiet, the pounding of your feet is never quiet. I also didn't like how running would cause a vibration. I had an elliptical, and I felt like the vibration even with foam padding was an annoyance as well. This rower is not only silent but also very stable with no vibration at all. It would be perfect for an apartment or condo. I find that the tension for me ( 40 + year old woman) has more than enough range. Like most cardio, even if you can handle the highest tension, most wouldn't be able to keep it up at a good pace for very long. The tension ranges from 1 to 16, and I can go at a nice pace for a while at 7-10. For the non professional/ competitive at home workout, a machine like this is really nice to have. For me, someone who has put together treadmills, this setup was very very easy. I had been looking for a replacement for running on a treadmill, and I wish I had found this or that it had been available years sooner.

I don't usually write long reviews, but there are a few things to warn potential buyers about, so here goes. First the bad: 1. in their admirable effort to prevent damage during shipping, the rower was packed so tight, with so much sticky tape, that it took me at least 30 minutes of sweating to get it unpacked. Nothing was damaged. 2 the assembly instructions in the booklet are very cryptic. There is a video, but it doesn't match the model number from the very start, so it is useless. The parts are different than those in the video. 3. it took almost 2 hours all in to get the rower unpacked and assembled 4. as mentioned in many other reviews, the display is very faint even with fresh batteries, so pretty useless, and the two apps are not interesting either. I use the indoor rower workout in my Apple watch for heart rate and time, don't care much about the rest... 5. I am 5'5" and the rower is fine for me, but my husband is 6' tall and it is way too short for him. I estimate it should fit up to about 5'8" person comfortably. The seat is pretty hard, probably will hurt when I graduate to longer workouts... Now for the good: the rower is very smooth and quiet. If it stays this way and it doesn't brake, I would consider it worth the purchase price. It is pretty easy to wheel around to store against a wall, although the wheels don't turn, so it doesn't easily go around corners.

Easy assembly. Took almost as long to release parts from packaging as it did to assemble. Instructions were clear and easy to understand. The only issue that I had was that 1 m8x20 bolt was missing. Fortunately I had a m8 bolt from another project that I could press into service. I tried it out very briefly after assembly to feel the difference between the lightest and heaviest settings. I'm new to this type of exercise so the easiest setting is good for working on form and not accidentally hurting yourself. The heaviest setting is not going to perfectly match real rowing as it is not going to replicate the increase the resistance with an increase in speed but it is much quieter and does not have the potential issues that water type rowers do. It folds up easily and takes up less than 4 sq ft when folded. Great for small spaces. It has everything I need and nothing I don't. I feel that this unit is great for people like myself who want a full body workout and/or do not like lifting weights.

The Quality and Performance of this Excellent MERACH Home 'Rowing Machine' is Impressive. Took around a half Hour to Assemble ... Very Easy. High Quality, Sturdy FRAME and High Quality Bolts / Hardware. Solid '5-STAR++++' Rating. I've used a good number of Rowing Machines at the Gym, when I was Younger. I'm Retired Now, and Appreciate this Rowing Machine for its' Simplicity of Design; Ease of Use; Excellent Resistance [ 1 - 16 ]; Comfortable Seat; Decent Foot Rests; Good Placement / Angle of the Monitor; and 'Ease' in Moving it to the Vertical / Storage Position. Solid Performance and Overall High Quality Design & ALL Parts ! Haven't used the APP yet ... But look forward to Checking it Out ! I Appreciate the 'CORE' Workout ... Really Feel it in My Mid Section. Since I have been Using Free-Weights {barbell/Dumbbells] ... I am Mostly 'Pushing' Weights. This Rower works the Muscle Groups that I am NOT Focusing on: 'Pulling' ... Which Targets My Back, Abdomen, and Extremities Muscle Groups from Different Angles. The Cardio is Excellent ... and My Legs are Getting a Great Work-Out. I feel It ! Thank You ! ! ! Monitor Works Very Well, too.

I can't speak to the longevity of this product since I only just assembled it but it feels sturdy, the track is smooth and the tension is good. It took approx. 30 mins to set up and can stand vertically when not in use. My only gripe is with the velcro foot strap. It was poorly designed and if you've ever sat on a rowing machine while trying to strap your feet in you'll understand what I mean. Ultimately, for the price this was a best buy for me!

Muito bom

Fatal, me llego roto el monitor y no funciona

Excelente máquina de remo. Silenciosa, estética y puede guardarse verticalmente de manera fácil . Solo le cambiaría ese color café tipo madera. Pero se ve bonita y funciona muy bien para el precio

La esperaba con ansia!!! Desde que llegó la arnamos de inmediato y la empezamos a usar!!! Si es lo que esperaba, fue super facil de armar, todo venia muy bien empacado y con el instructivo bien indicado!!! La calidad muy buena!!! Y con un potencial de entrenamiento muy amplio tiene 16 resistencias asi que tenemos mucho para aprovechar en el incremento de fuerza, estoy muy feliz con esta compra!!! Y lo recomiendo ampliamente, haciendolo de manera correcta y aprovechandolo al máximo es un ejercicio muy completo!!! Gracias!!!

El producto tomó algo de tiempo en llegar, el armado fue muy sencillo pero la pantalla no funcionó. Servicio al cliente se comunicó conmigo al poco tiempo y me brindó una solución. Estoy satisfecho con el producto.
