I have it for almost one month now. I used it almost everyday. I started with 10 minutes rowing exercises, now I am rowing 30 minutes. It let me the time to adapt and get the right shape while rowing. I went to YouTube to get extra advices to improve.
Very easy to assemble alone.
This rower is very smooth, very pleasant.
I bought it to improve my strength in the back, because I mostly doing computer work and I tend to have pain in between the shoulders and upper back.
Overall I am quite satisfied with this rower. The S4 monitor is easy to use, the handle fits well in my hands and the bench glides smoothly. I also appreciate the sound of the water turning in the tank, I can close my eyes while rowing and it feels like I am on a lake in a shell. It feels like the sound of waves, but not be too noisy or disturbing sound.
The fact that the rower can be stored standing upside is very convenient for me. The weight of the tank makes a counterweight that helps rise the rower for storage. Very stable. I like the wood material, it feels more natural than power coated metal, and this wood color will never look outdated. Although the rower structure is made in wood, it is very sturdy and well made.
I recommend this rower without any reservation.
