Replacement Parts

My rower has a leak where do i get replacement parts?

Leaky Tank.

Like the way the machine works, but like others have said, the water tank cracks at the bottom where it connects to the frame. The screws holding it in are all corroded. And it’s now unusable. Machine is less than 3 years old. I wish I would’ve purchased a higher quality machine.

Tank Leaks Bad After 2 Years.

After two years of light use the tank leaks. Do not buy this rowing machine if you are looking for something that will last. The tank design is not built to last.

No Replacement Parts And Out Of Luck

Great machine I like the resistance the seat even the design everything's great except my tank leaks and when I went to ask about buying a replacement tank they said they don't have any and I'm out of luck. If that's true that's poor management not to have replacement parts. Same too cuz it's a good rower

No Resistance And Leaks

Leaking and no resistance. I wish I knew how to repair it because it is a comfortable machine. Seat is a nice height.

Not Worth The Buy

I bought this and I loved it for like a month. First the meter count stops working then. The leg is so not sturdy. It broke. For the amount of money I spend. I expected better.

No Resistance

I just went to use for first time and there is no resistance when pulling handle, blades barely even turn

Lcd Obsidian Surge Water Rowing Machine Rower W/lcd

This rowing machine is wonderful! I did not want to give a full star down-rating for only a minor issue, so will leave my rating at 5 stars. The only issue had to do w/the LCD display attachment. There was a one of 4 screws that did not fit properly in the mounting hardware and my display ended up in a crooked position. However, like I said it's only a minor thing and does not at all impact the functionality of the machine. I'm so glad that I purchased this rower!!!

Great Rower, Not Great Rollers.

Love the tower but since I got it the plastic on the rollers has been coming apart. It’s very loud and I’m always trying to get it lined up to miss the little holes in the plastic. Seems like a manufacturing defect.

Leaking

Water component cracked, and the place where the nuts connect the water bowl is leaking from every nut. Either a defective unit or poor designing.

Very Solid Build And Easy

Very solid build and easy to put together! Packaged well and so far my wife and I love it!

Fantastic!

Wonderful machine. I was able to put it together by myself in about 30 minutes. I am new to rowing machines, but I really enjoy the workout. I have found some beginner videos on Youtube. The build looks fine and everything seems to be sturdy. I have been using about 4 times a week for the last two weeks and have no issues at all.

I Absolutely Love This Rower!

I absolutely love this rower! With the water as resistance, it pulls very smoothly. The machine is sturdy and the seat is comfortable.

It Was Easy To Put

It was easy to put together, and the sound is quiet and soothing. It doesn’t offer much resistance, even filled to the highest level, so my workout doesn’t feel intense. The LCD monitor also zeros out on its own so I’m unable to track my time or any other details. Overall, it does the job.

So Far, So Good

So far, so good. I've used 6/7 days for the 3 weeks I've owned it and no complaints. Solid build, smooth, provides a good workout.
