OVICXMagnetic Rowing Machine for Home Use Foldable Indoor Rower Exercise Equipment for Whole Body Workout with Double Track

I’ve only had this rower for a week but I like it a lot so far and the way it looks. It was really easy to put together, very sturdy and easy to move it from one room to another. I haven’t tried to fold it up yet so I can’t review that part.It is really quiet, which is great because I have to work out early in the morning before my family wakes up. It has 16 different levels of resistance. I’m a beginner and level 7/10 is a great level for me right now.The only thing I didn’t like was how the screws and small components were just thrown in the box. I initially thought I didn’t have all the pieces but found them randomly wrapped up in different pieces of plastic.a tip for the seat that I initially missed. pull the knob out and turn it so isn’t pressed against the slider when you’re rowing (so it won’t mess up the machine by repeatedly gliding on the metal)

Negative first:INSTRUCTIONS: The machine isn't particularly difficult to put together. But the instructions are written on an incredibly small booklet that reads like it was translated on Google. The instructions often reference diagrams that are, again, almost too small to be useful. I'll admit that I am not the most capable when it comes to the art of assembly, and we did get it put together in under 45 minutes, but a simple rewrite/redesign of the instructions would go a long way.PACKAGING: This may seem minute, but during the unboxing, the small parts, hardware, and tools weren't in any one place, nor were they attached to anything. Most were just loose in the very large box amidst the plastic and styrofoam. Even pieces that came in pairs weren't anywhere close to each other. We found ourselves scavenging through what we thought was going to be garbage to find the final pieces. Again, this would seem to be an easy fix. Instead, it was just an avoidable nuisance.But the most important thing:This seems like a really nice rower for the price. I did have to WD-40 the tracks to stop a squeak about 15 minutes into the first use, which was no big deal. That seems like a reasonable bit of maintenance every once in a while. I'm 6'1 and over 200 pounds, and it's plenty long and feels sturdy. I live in a small house, and folded up, it doesn't take up much space. It's delightfully quiet; I can comfortably listen to something on my phone's speaker while I use it.All said and done, now that it's assembled, I really like it and am glad I went with this one. A little more care on the company's end, and this would have easily been a 5-star review.

The media could not be loaded.  I ordered this item as I wanted a home rowing machine. The most impressive feature to me is that it is very easy to assemble. I didn't assemble lots of things, and it only cost 30 minutes to build. Another feature I was equally impressed with is how quiet it - I was worry about to disturb my neighbors, but it is so quiet, I can't hear any noise. The foot rests have one adjustment. The straps come pre-installed in the 'upper' slots closer to the toes of the rests. This is great if your feet are longer. For shorter feet, simple unthread the foot straps from the current location and feed them through the other slots closer to the heel of the foot rest. This will fasten the straps over the foot for smaller feet and prevent slipping of the foot. I feel the levels offer pretty adequate resistance.

I work out regularly and was curious about a row machine. This thing will kick your butt. I did 10 mins the first few times and I didn’t know I had so many ab muscles that can hurt. After a few times I went up to 15, then 20. At 20 mins I’m huffing and puffing. But I feel great! You can def feel the the complete body work out!

The value for money is a bit high

Pros-1. It is a good machine. It does what it is suppose to do and one will get a good work out con.Cons-1. It is NOT easy to assemble. It took us two hours. The wording in the instructions were so small that we needed a lighted magnifying glass to read them. Diagrams were so tiny that they were useless. I suspect all the reviews that say it can be assembled in a half hour are plants.2. It says that you can fold it up and move it when not in use. I doubt that we will do that as it is heavy to push and somewhat of a hassle to break down.3. There are no instructions to set up the monitor to give time, calories burned etc.

Have wanted a rower forever. Seat sits on dual rails and it makes it very stable. Super quiet and I’m very happy with my purchase. Have used it everyday. Hubby put it together easily. Thank you. It’s marvelous. Looked at your spin bikes today. Still thinking on that.

The straps for your feet are “sawed” through by the metal plates that hold them. Now I can’t attach my feet with the broken straps, making the rower useless. I will see if I can find some kind of replacement nylon straps then I’ll have to duct tape over the sharp parts? I dunno. I shouldn’t have to redesign their product to get it to work. Not cheap and a pain to fix.
