I bought a while back but today I finally put it together. I chose this product because I want to see how much I like rowing (learned I loathe stationary bikes). It is a good machine! Very well built and easy to put together. It has a mini-computer on it so you can track your time, your calories expended, and the number of strokes. In addition, the resistance is adjustable. Very quiet, very stable. A particularly nice addition is the pole in the front where you can put your cell phone and listen to rowing music! My personal faves are the Vikings! Thanks Erling and Norway! If you are interested in rowing as an exercise, I highly recommend this product. Lightweight so I can move it around and it gets the job done! All I need now is the Viking helment. Review: Must Buy! - I received the package today at 2:09 pm. I ripped it out of the box and was momentarily confused. On first glance it looked almost entirely assembled. After ripping open the plastic, I noticed it needed 3 things- handle bar, connecting the arm to the hydraulic and releasing the back bar. It was such a simple operation. There was no crazy fluff with the packaging so clean up was a breeze. I immediately hopped on and was impressed. I went slowly and did 5 minutes in my living room. I then moved it outside, it is SO light. I can carry one handed if I wanted to. It fits nicely in the space I set aside. The monitor is incredibly easy to use and to watch while working out. I noticed some other reviews that said it was complicated. I'm not sure why someone would feel that way, maybe they have updated it since previous reviews? Either way, I was pleasantly surprised and had no issues. Now, onto the machine's resistance which seems to be a great debate among other reviewers... Once I moved it outside I adjusted the resistance level from 1 to 3 and did a full 15 minutes. I did experience some change in the resistance towards the end but I realized that I had shortened my strokes as I got faster. Once I corrected my form, the resistance was consistent. So to clarify, I did not experience a loss of resistance. However, how it stands up over time is still a debate. I did not go particularly fast but maintained a steady pace from beginning to end. Another point some reviewers brought up was size, I am 5'4 and 220 lbs. Yes, I'm fluffy lol I had no problems. The seat could use a bit more padding but once I moved forward a little I found the sweet spot. The one *potential* problem I've noticed is that the foot rests don't seem to be very sturdy. At one point I had to adjust my feet because I noticed the fronts were slightly bending the plastic back. Maybe they are meant to have some give? I'm not sure. They felt as if they will be the first thing that needs to be replaced down the road. Highlights: Value- 5 Size- 5 Weight- 5 Packaging- 5 Assembly- 5 Stability- 4.5 Resistance- 5 Performance- 5 Conclusion: Is this a gym quality machine? Nope. Is it functional, practical and worth buying? Yes. This is not something I would recommend to an Olympian but for the average person looking to burn a few calories while watching TV, this is the way to go. Update as of 3/22/2020, When I wrote the first review, I weighed 220 lbs. I now weigh 154. I'm 14 lbs from my goal weight. The rower still works like a breeze. I use my treadmill and bike for heavy cardio but the rower is still a staple. It is amazing for cross training. The foot rests still haven't broken, so that is a plus 😂 Still no loss in resistance. Now that I am in better shape, I notice that if I go fast, I can actually slide it across my floor with the momentum. I put it on .5 inch gym flooring and have had no issue since. My boyfriend who is 5'10, 180 lbs and a hardcore volleyball player is in love with this thing. According to him, it isn't a true rower but works on his muscular imbalances caused by playing one sport. I've though about upgrading to a more advanced rower but who am I kidding? I'm not a professional and it still does what I purchased it for. No complaints. On a side note, I made significant lifestyle changes to accomplish my weight loss. When I first started and couldn't walk more than 5 minutes at a time, this rower was a true challenge but I outgrew it about a month in and started regularly walking. I no longer use it every day, maybe 3-5 times a month for about 25-30 minutes. ## Features - 【Progressive Resistance Levels】Elevate your rowing experience with 12 adjustable resistance levels, catering to everyone from beginners to advanced users.

I have lost weight using this machine daily. I do 30 minutes in the morning and evening everyday. I also improved my eating habits. I've gone from 188 to 165. My muscle tone has improved in my arms, back, but not so much in my legs. I gained weight after a bad ankle fracture left me idle for over six months. It took about 2 and a half months to get back to my current weight of 165. **Q: how about use for a short person? I am 5'1"** A: My daughter wanted me to get this for her, She is short as well but I've not really talked to her about this machine since she got it. **Q: Would love some input from somebody with a similar build - 6', 245 lbs. whether sturdy enough for a bulky and tall frame like mine?** A: i am 6 2 but only 190 lbs but i have really long legs 35 in inseams and i can stretch out completely but you really dont have to,so i think even a taller person would b ok too,as far as the weight thing,its a very sturdy machine and i use it several times a day and its great,i think it will take a heavier person without a problem although it does not recommend it ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ a great way to get this old lady to exercise *by D***K on July 26, 2026* I am so pleased with this purchase.

Not expensive in this case does not mean cheaply built. It's lightweight but solid, and withstands my 240 pounds easily. 2. Ease of assembly. Honestly, it all came very well wrapped and protected inside the box, requiring only to unscrew a few Allen bolts to attach the handle. It was folded under itself, and strapped together to prevent damage from movement. 3. "Ease" of use. The pneumatic arm moves well with the rowing motion, and it is an intuitive increase from 1 (like pulling a happy dog on its leash for a walk) to 10 (pulling a Smart car out of a snowy parking space with a big rope). I am short-limbed, long torso, so my comfort and ease of use will probably not be an experience shared by long-limbed folks as the seat and arms will not allow someone with an inseam over 35" to have full extension. Decide accordingly. 4. Portability. Ok, if you need to slide it under a bed it is lightweight, and requires taking out two bolts to fold it. One is designed to be easy to remove, the other will use the included wrenches. So, I leave it out in my living room which is more a workout room than social area. There is still plenty of room in my apartment that it isn't in the way. Summary: I love it, and enjoy the variation from biking, but it may prove less useful for the long-limbed or tiny home dwellers. **The Powerade bottle gives you a reference point for scale, it is a quart. ## Frequently Bought Together - Sunny Health & Fitness Compact Adjustable Rowing Machine with 12 Levels of Resistance for Complete Body Workouts and Optional Free SunnyFit App Enhanced Connectivity - Sunny Health & Fitness Row-N-Ride Squat Assist Trainer, Foldable & Easy Setup Exercise Equipment w/Adjustable Resistance, Home Gym Training Machine for Arm, Glute & Leg Workout, Optional in Colors - Sunny Health & Fitness Mini Stepper for Exercise at Home, Stair Step Workout Machine with Resistance Band and Over 300lb Weight Capacity, Optional Twist Motion and Free SunnyFit App Connection --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/1139227-compact-hydraulic-rower-with-12-level-resistance-full-body-cardio](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/1139227-compact-hydraulic-rower-with-12-level-resistance-full-body-cardio) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-08-24*
