Sunny Health & Fitness Compact Adjustable Rowing Machine with 12 Levels of Resistance for Complete Body Workouts and Optional Free SunnyFit App Enhanced Connectivity

This machine was so easy to put together. Most of it was already fixed in place and what was left to do needed a couple of tools, which were supplied, so you don’t even need a tool kit! Even the little computer that counts your rowing, calories etc. come with batteries supplied. It took me 5 minutes to set it up!It has 12 settings. I started at number 1, but that offered absolutely no resistance, so I upped it until I was comfortable with number 9. After a few days, I put it up to number 10 and I’m happy with that. I only do about 10 minutes every morning and sometimes through the day. I really enjoy it. It is a workout for your entire body, but unlike other exercises, I don’t hurt myself. I bought it because I had become so unfit during lockdown. This builds strength in your entire body. I read the reviews first and that’s what convinced me to buy it. It’s worth every penny, and actually it was quite cheap considering how well made it is. And if you’re not a ‘gym’ person, but want to get fit, this definitely helps!

Really easy to put together, It's a lot better than I thought it was going to be. Great machine for the price, defiantly recommend this. Only negative the seat is not that comfortable after rowing for about 15mins.

Really great buy. Compact enough for the bedroom but big enough to use properly. I'm 5ft 3in and there is still a good few inches to spare when I am at full stretch. Really smooth seat runner and the handlebars are very comfortable. I have a number of health issues but was desperate to get back to doing some exercise this is low impact on joints but very doable - I love it and would thoroughly recommend. Brilliant value for money.

Well packaged, very easy to assemble and if I can put it together anyone can, 3 simple steps. Lightweight but sturdy with a great range of resistance. Easy to read electronic readout, looking forward to a lot of use indoors especially as the winter months are on their way. This was an Amazon deal, very good value.

Easy to put together. Sturdy and functional. Good value for money. Found rowing machine to be very good for my joints especially my painful knee.

I expected a lower quality machine due to the price. Very easy to assemble, took 5 minutes if that. Feels sturdy in use. Gave me a good workout but I had to return. First the piston made a really annoying squeaking sound after about 10 minutes use, and I felt like it was jolting me at the beginning and end of each stroke as it kept hitting the maximum length. I’m not overly tall, so by the end of my workout I had a bad back from being jolted. If you want a basic rowing machine which is sturdy, easy to assemble and has good resistance and you are not tall then this would probably do the job, it just was too basic and clunky for me.

Firstly I bought one of these cheap rowing machines from Argos so nearly didn't buy this one, the Argos one went back same day as it was ridiculous trying to put it together and didn't look strong, I felt like I would fall off it.This one all you do is screw in a couple of parts, I mean just a couple, even the rubber was on the handlebars and I know some people had issues with that.I have MS and was a bit scared it would be flimsy like the one I returned but it's not. This machine really does feel sturdy. I'm 5' 5" and 12 stone, hence the reason for purchase. I felt quite safe on it, the seat is wide enough for my fat bahookie and comfortable enough. Did it for 5 minutes on the lowest setting then came off. I intend to start with 5 minutes a few times a day then build up to longer sessions.The reason for 4 stars is that the display thingy doesn't appear to be working well at all, not that I need it, maybe I haven't worked that out yet. I also don't think it's suitable for anyone much taller than me if you want a full leg stretch on the pull, maybe 5' 10" or something would be OK. I think this is the perfect machine for someone like me, disabled or mature that just wants to get fit at a nice slow pace to suit. Laughing now, when I first started to try the very first pull I thought the hydraulic thing was broken because it wouldn't move, turns out it was just at the higher setting and I'm a wimp, so watch for that one. I've used rowing machines in the gym and have to say I'm really happy with what I got for this price and having it in the house means I can suit myself when I use it.

I am a former oarsman now late 70's. Have spent many winter hours on water tank trainers and gym ergometers. Nothing replicates being on the water, but I don't have that option any more and just wanted a cheap and easy to store device to keep my ageing frame in some order during Covid restrictions. Looked at a number of fancier and more expensive devices before going for this one, encouraged mainly by other reviewers comments. Glad I did. What a little beaut!. Easy to set up, move around and use. I am 6ft tall with long arms and legs. For me, the seat slide is little short on the front stop and I could do with a couple of inches more forward motion on the pull bar to get full rowing stretch. That said, the angle of seat incline and pull bar motion combine to provide a very realistic rowing action. As other reviewers have commented, the strokes get easier as the cylinder heats up. I simply wind the power setting up every few hundred strokes - which also gives me an excuse for a breather. Very happy with my purchase.
