I was in the market for a water rower after wearing out a previous magnet-friction rower and not being able to find the parts. I did my research and landed on this model. I would not recommend this unit if you’re doing hardcore serious training and require a full-function and accurate distance meter. The meter is good, but not perfect, and I don’t use the smart functionality. If you’re a regular person looking for a water-based rower workout and want a sturdy unit at an excellent price point, then this model is for you. By the stroke count on the meter, I’ve put in about 60,000 strokes over the past eight months. I typically do 45-minute workouts and can easily get my heart rate up above 135 bpm if I go hard. I’ve had no issues with the foot holder and my foot slipping out. Not sure what the trick is but I imagine it has to do with good form. Like most gym equipment right? The unit stores vertically if space is a consideration. I use the holder on top of the meter to hold my iPad so I can watch a show during my workout. The machine is quiet when in use. Solid, simple construction. I would buy it again. Highly recommended!

The rower arrives in a single 90 pound box, so your first workout is moving it around. Assembly took less than an hour. The instruction manual makes it look more complicated in some ways. Its actually pretty straightforward.
The rowing action is great and the adjustment of resistance is really simple. Some people don’t like that the foot pads move but it didn’t bother me. The footpads are set a bit further apart than other rowers. It feels very solid and balanced to use.
The digital monitor doesn’t give you any accurate guidance about how much distance you’ve covered or your pace, so you’ll need to calibrate on a Concept 2 and work off heart rate or strokes per minute. This is the one thing they should fix; it should be easy to adjust the monitor. It measures are roughly 50% of the distance I would expect to cover for the effort.

I have only used mine a few times now, so I’ll update this review if anything changes. Initial impressions are that this is a great machine at a great price. The rowing action is smooth, and the catch is far enough away from your feet that it’s easy to get a full stroke without slamming the pull handle into the machine. i’m about 6’1″ or so, and I don’t have any trouble with the travel of the seat or the handle, though I suspect someone much taller than me would (i almost max the travel out).
I’m especially impressed with the supplied hardware. The fasteners you use to put it together are all button head screws with a hex head, which look nice and are easy to work with. I would recommend some thread locker for some of them, as some are on the bottom of the machine and will undoubtedly work loose eventually. No torque specs are supplied, use your best judgement, I guess.
My wife says the machine flexes a bit when I row (I’m 220lbs), but you’ll never notice it from the seat. It feels solid and well built.
Now, let’s talk about those footrests. Mine don’t seem to be having any trouble, but I question why Sunny built it this way to begin with. The issue comes down to the way they swivel, which doesn’t seem necessary in the first place. Why do they need to swivel? When I row, typically my feet stay in the same spot, and if they move, it’s only a tiny bit. They could have bolted the footrests in place securely, and I doubt many people would have a problem with it. It seems like an unforced error, for a feature people don’t need. Furthermore, if Sunny wanted them to swivel, it seems like some threadlocker would have secured the bolts in place semi-permanently and people wouldn’t have a problem.
The computer is basic, but functional. It gives you readouts for strokes per minute, 500m split times, overall time rowed, calories, watts, and maybe others I can’t remember. Because resistance can’t be changed on the fly (you have to add more water), it doesn’t have any pre-programmed workouts. It does have a “race” function though, which basically just means you have to keep a preset pace or fall behind. It’s not great, but at least they tried. I just row manually, and the computer is good enough for my purposes.
Bottom line, it seems like a great machine. Buy yourself some threadlock from home depot and use it during the the assembly, and I doubt you’ll have any problems. if the footrests come loose, threadlock those as well.

El producto llego a los dos días. Fue fácil de armar. Es bastante estable aun cuando lo usas con mucha intensidad. Me sorprendió lo silencioso que es y a diferencia de los equipos magnéticos el sonido de las aspas en el agua es muy agradable. Yo tengo un rodillo para bicicleta y cuando entreno no puedo oír la TV mientras estoy usándolo, en cambio con la remadora la experiencia es muy diferente, el sonido es casi relajante.
El asiento es muy cómodo y al estar alto, no es necesario agacharse para sentarse y pararse. El display digital muestra la información relevante del ejercicio, pero solo he usado el modo manual. Por otro lado, la única desventaja son las bases para los pies las cuales son muy grandes y aunque tienen una banda ajustable no son cómodos para personas con pie pequeño.
Finalmente, el equipo se puede colocar en forma vertical para que ocupe menos espacio al guardarlo, pero a diferencia de otros modelos, no tiene una bisagra que permita doblarlo. En lo personal no es un detalle mayor.

Let’s be clear: I have never, in my life, rowed a boat competitively. The closest I’ve ever gotten was being woken up by a cockswain yelling the cadence to rowers when I was in college. Poor guys were on the water by 6 AM.
I have no idea what those folks would think of this machine. For me, though, it’s excellent.
Set-up:
The machine is relatively easy to assemble, and it comes with (very basic versions of) all the tools you’d need to do so. Sunny provided all the hardware on one vacu-sealed, labeled card. Between the manual and that card, every piece is numbered, and the illustrations in the manual make it very easy to tell what goes where. My only complaint about the illustrations is that it isn’t entirely clear which end of the long support goes to the front and which way to mount the seat. Looking at an actual photo of the machine tells you the stickers go toward the back and the leg depressions go forward, so from there, everything was good to go. Using my own electric screwdriver (and otherwise using the provided tools), the time between opening the box and rowing my first stroke was about 90 minutes.
I really appreciated that Sunny included both a funnel and a simple transfer pump for adding and removing water. I over-filled it at first, and the pump made it really easy to get it down to the level I wanted.
Operation
The machine works great. The mechanics are very smooth, and it’s very quiet while in use. The water makes a light “woosh” noise that’s actually really pleasant. I set this up downstairs, away from our baby’s room, but I would be comfortable using it in the room next to his without fearing that it would wake him up.
I filled the bubble to level 3. A review on another site said that 6 felt like rowing in real water “with a little extra,” and that’s not what I was going for. At level 3, I can keep a nice slow-ish pace and build up my heart rate, or I can push harder or do intervals to really get going.
The monitor is the real reason I chose this model over the cheaper magnetic model, also from Sunny. This version counts strokes per minute, and that was important to me. Online training videos use strokes per minute as a reference point, and I wanted to be able to follow along with those.
Weak Points
Only a couple of weak points on this machine:
1. No place to stand a phone/tablet up. There’s a depression in the front unit where you can *store* a phone (iPhone 8 Plus with an Otterbox-style case fits with room to spare), but it’s horizontal so you can’t watch the screen. If you plan to watch workout videos or your favorite TV show while using this, you’ll have to find a way to stand your device up independent from this machine.
2. The LED monitor picked up a pulse reading from somewhere even though I don’t use a heart monitor. I imagine this is an issue with the heart monitor radio standard itself – interference from something else in my house. And it isn’t consistent, just something clocking in at 70-ish beats per minute every now and then. No idea what it is, but not an issue for me. If you plan to use a heart monitor band that connects wirelessly to the machine, you might run into a similar issue, but I can’t say that for certain.
Overall
I’d recommend this for anyone looking to establish/maintain a general level of fitness with an indoor machine. It’s quiet, it’s an efficient workout, and the price is almost unbelievable for the quality of machine that you get.

La remadora superó mis expectativas. La compré sin tener revisiones u opiniones de otros usuarios y mi apuesta salió ganadora.
El armado fue muy fácil ya que viene con las instrucciones en varios idiomas y con las herramientas necesarias. Pude usarla casi inmediatamente después de armarla. Sólo tuve que agregar el agua y la pastilla anti-hongos (esta última también incluidas).
En cuanto al sistema de monitoreo del ejercicio, tengo que decir que quedó medio corto, ya que el display un sumamente básico; esto no quiere decir que no sirva, sino más bien que podrían mejorarlo para poder ver el desempeño en el tiempo. No tiene opción de guardar sesiones anteriores y el manual es algo complicado.
Conclusión: Un buen equipo para remar en casa, materiales de buena calidad y de fácil armado. Veremos que dice el paso del tiempo.
