this is a really good price for a new one with shipping. i've since upgraded to a concept 2 and its much better (no comparison really)... but for $100, if you have the space and you've been thinking you could use a rower, I would get this. if you use it so much it breaks, you're only out $100 and then you would know if you need a concept 2 or not. if you don't use it you can sell on marketplace and get all your money back.

This folding magnetic rower is an inexpensive way to try indoor rowing, with a compact footprint and a price that feels low for a new machine. It is described as doing the job and assembling in under 45 minutes, but it also sits low, can be noisy, and is not easy to move around. The rope drive is called out as a likely failure point, and the monitor and footrest design may be basic compared with higher end rowers. A practical budget pick if the tradeoffs fit your space and expectations.
Common Questions (4)
No. The magnetic resistance is described as having a resistance ceiling, so even at the highest setting it may feel too light for serious power work compared with a Concept2 air rower.
The monitor is described as having features similar to a Concept2-style performance monitor, but one unit arrived with a different monitor than the product photos. That suggests there may be monitor revisions or a different included display.
The drive uses a string/rope rather than a chain, and that rope is reported as the main failure point on this model line. One unit broke after about a year of regular use, so it is a budget buy with a known wear item.
It is reported to be a bit noisy, harder to assemble than other rowers, not easy to move around, and sits oddly low to the ground. It still does the job and can be assembled in under 45 minutes.

That said, some people buy rowers and soon stop using them because, among other things, the workout is hard, you can't do anything with your hands, and they use poor technique. I suspect the experience is worse on a cheap machine like this one. If possible, try rowing at the gym and see if it's for you. If you can get used to it, it's one of the best fitness tools out there. C2 also has great support, a worldwide community, and competitions you can do in-person or online. They also give free perks for milestones, such as a t-shirt for logging a million meters.
