This was a great beginner rowing machine that was also affordable. It does not have any bells and whistles like the higher end machines. It’s quiet, easy to use, and definitely provides a good workout. It is compact and good for a home gym. My biggest complaint about this rower is it does not track stroke rate or distance. Instead, it counts the total number of strokes, which is fine to get an average afterwards, but not useful when you’re working out and trying to push yourself. It also counts calories, which is useless because the machine does not factor in your weight, HR, or any other data, so it’s giving you some arbitrary number that is meaningless and wildly misleading. My final complaint is the machine sits very low to the ground. You’re no more than six inches from the ground.
