Nice and quiet, easy to move. This was a great purchase! It took a little longer than we expected to assemble, but it came together nicely. Take your time and you’ll have no problems. The tools/bolts etc come in two separate packages. We initially found one and had to dig through the packaging to see if there was more.

Works great and good purchase for the price. Easy setup and just what I looking for to add to my home gym!

I really like this machine and it’s great for beginners.Machine works well and is quiet.The assembly was quick and easy as it only took me 1hr 15 mins.

I’m impressed…. I’m over 300 lbs… bought this as it has a 300 lbs. Max capacity… very well built… very easy to assemble…extremely quiet… small in stature… easy to move. Had it for a week… hopefully it will remain this good!

This is so fun! I would give it five stars, but the assembly instructions left a little to be desired.
Here are my added assembly steps:
Before starting, gather the following items: Source of music (to reduce frustration), two AA batteries (not included).
The instruction book-
*None of the pieces are labeled, but you can pretty much figure everything out from the drawings. The nuts/bolts look very similar, but if you count them and look at the parts list, you’ll know which is which.
* Putting on the pedals can be hellish. I had a lot of trouble getting one on and lined up but the other one was no problem. Here’s a tip for you non-experts. Put the washer and screw on one end. This will be the end away from the center. Put the ^%&%$** pedal on the bracket (heel cup on the bottom). Wiggle and push and swear until you get the axle all the way through. Stick your fingers in the teeny tiny space and attach the other washer and screw. Tighten it as much as you can with your fingers. IMPORTANT: Now, put one of the small allen wrenches in the inside (loose) screw and hold it still while you use the other allen wrench to turn it from the other side. It doesn’t matter that the outside screw is already in, this will screw the axle onto the inner screw. SO much easier then trying to move the wrench around in the teeny area. (I know, because I did it the hard way first.)
* The four holes on the rail go on the bottom. (Yes, I did it wrong at first.) After you attach and tighten the two screws on the top of the seat rail, pull the big pin out, put the rail in vertical position, and put the pin back in. This makes it MUCH easier to put the four screws in the bottom and add the rubber bumpers. Also, attach the other leg/support this way, making sure it’s facing the right way.
* Put the rail back down.
Here’s where I had the biggest problem…THERE WERE NO MORE INSTRUCTIONS!!! Maybe I was missing a page. I hope I was missing a page.
At this point I have two screws, a seat, two bumpers, and two end caps that are still sitting on the floor. Honestly, it’s not THAT hard to figure out what to do, but I really shouldn’t have to. So:
* Put the seat on FIRST. (Wheels go in the tracks.) Screw the rubber bumpers on just like you did the other ones with the only screws you have left. Stick the end caps in the end. (Funny: These are the only parts that are labeled.).
* Open the little door on the back of the computer and put the batteries in. (You could probably do this before you attach the computer, but I left the batteries in the house so I haven’t done this part yet.)
**** Try it out.
Holy crap! This is SO much fun! If you are old (like me) or out of shape (like me) you should make sure not to go overboard or you’ll feel it later.
PROS:
Even with the sometimes lacking assembly instructions, I put this together in less than an hour.
TOOLS ARE INCLUDED!!
It folds up so it takes slightly less space.
CONS:
Honestly, the only complaint I have is the instructions. That was annoying, but not a real problem.
So far, I would recommend this.

Bought this rower and I absolutely love it. I spent about 20 minutes to assemble it, the instructions are pretty self explanatory. 30 mins workout per day, it is surprisingly quiet and smooth. One thing we love the most is the foldable feature which it allows us to store it in the upright position at the corner of the room to save space. Overall, this is a very good quality rowing machine at a good price, will recommend!

I’ve been using this rowing machine for over a year. It works great and had a little difficulty with one part of putting it together, but overall it was fairly easy to assemble. It works great and gets well used. I do find that it moves quite a bit when you are using it. It folds up for storage. I was hoping that it would fold up a little more compact than it does. The rollers work ok but I find it awkward to move. I wish they had put locking wheels on both parts of the rowing machine for easier moving and also to help it stay stationary when you are using it. It doesn’t fold up that much which I found a little disappointing, but it is a great workout and reasonably priced.

Quiet, comfortable, compact, and a great workout. It arrived faster than expected and in perfect condition. Instructions are a bit confusing. Note: attach the pedals to the base before you install the base to the machine (instructions say the contrary)

Got it delivered yesterday and despite being pretty bad at building things I assembled it myself in under an hour relatively easily. The instructions are kind of jumbled but everything is easy enough to follow. Once I put it together it worked well and felt sturdy.
Update: So I’ve had it a couple weeks now and this thing is great. Light enough to move around to store it when guests come over but sturdy enough that as a bigger guy I don’t worry about it breaking. It’s a great workout too!

I am convinced the reason other reviews are mentioning the foot pad is that the factory welded the mount bar in the incorrect position. This may not be the case on every model but it was on mine. There is an L bracket that you bolt the foot pads too, it can be seen in the pictures above. The bracket is welded so that the hole is up, and the hole should be facing the forward position (like in the pictures). I was able to fix this by drilling new holes (see picture). If you don’t want to have to drill new holes then this might not be the machine for you. I have attempted to contact the manufacturer about this defect but can’t seem to reach anyone.
Overall it’s not bad. I am used to much higher quality machines and this one is just kinda meh. I haven’t used many in this price range so I am no expert. However, I am disappointed about the quality, especially given the having to drill new holes, for the price.
UPDATE: this rower completely failed after about a week of normal use. I am very disappointed in the product. The foot pads have started wearing out the screw holes where the two screws hold them in place. Meaning the foot pads themselves have to be tightened every use. This started after the third use. The cable has completely stopped retracting and now takes about 5 minutes or so to slowly wind itself back up. I am guessing this is meant for much lighter use and not any prolonged rowing. The plastic cover for the cable that covers it at the handle to keep it from sliding off center has started to crack and looks like it will fail after a couple more uses. In my opinion it’s probably a much better idea to bite the bullet and buy a much batter machine unless you are looking for another piece of equipment to collect dust until you get around to selling it on craigslist

I haven’t spent time actually using it yet so we’ll see how it goes. My initial impression is that this is a solid build and should last for years to come. Putting it together took approx. 30 minutes. Directions could use a little help, but they do explain exactly what part goes where and in what orientation. Not top of the line, but a good value in my opinion (especially if it becomes a close hanger :~) I am not sure if the resistance is what it should be, seems a bit light at the top setting, but after 1000 pulls it’s probably just right. Cheers and happy exercising!
