Sunny Health and Fitness Magnetic Rowing Machine, Folding Rower with LCD Monitor and Extra Long Slide Rail, 8 Level Resistance, Transport Wheels, Full Body Workout Equipment For Home, SF-RW5515

I needed to lose some weight ready for some upcoming surgery. I chose this Sunny Health and Fitness Rowing machine as it seemed the best in price and quality from all the ones I researched. It hasn't disappointed.Wasn't too difficult to put together and seems really good quality.... durable, strong, comfortable to sit on and well built and hopefully should last a long while if used properly. The colour and design make it a nice looking machine.I have been using it most days since purchasing and it provides a full body but low impact workout and has been gentle on my arthiritic joints. No knee, hip or shoulder pain as I was worried about.A good range of resistance levels mean a varied and challenging workout. I prefer to stick to the lower settings for a longer duration of time rather than the higher settings for a shorter time. The machine is rather quiet and if watching something on the telly or tablet then the sound is quieter still. There are some good rowing workouts on YouTube that you can watch and work along to if you fancy that.All in all an excellent piece of fitness equipment at a very reasonable price, although not as hi tech as your high end gym machines, absolutely perfect for everday home use and suitable for all the family members. Accompany a daily workout on the rower with some healthy eating habits and any extra weight will be sure to drop off.PS. The next model up from this one is much the same except offers a slot to hold a tablet or mobile device and a bottle holder for your drink. Slightly more in cost but might be worth it if these two features are important to you. I just tend to put my water bottle on the floor next to me and my tablet on a small table to the front of me.

Just as expected - works great

Goes together fairly well and very quiet in operation. The resistance does not seem very strong though on the max setting.

Absolute bargain!

Perfect and very strong machine

very happy with the rowing machine thank you.

Basic but good quality 👌

Bought this reasonably priced machine and enjoyed using it for over a year. Good machine, and no problems with working it. Then a relatively small plastic pulley wheel (something Sunny call a Volute Spring - see photo) broke - worn out.Contacting Sunny, they told me that they don't have an agent, supplier, or repair and servicing facility in UK and that they could send the spare part, but only to a US address. If I could find a friend in the US who would receive the spare part, and would send it on to me, then they'd happily send it there. The cost of the plastic wheel (the warranty had run out) and shipping would be $60!! plus whatever it was going to cost to send if from the US, and whatever duty/ tax UK customs deemed to charge on top. The whole machine had cost less than $300.So my review if - "good product while it's working, but once it breaks, you're stuffed".
