YOSUDA Water Rowing Machines for Home Use- Foldable Rower Machine 400LBS Weight Capacity with Dedicated Monitor & Bluetooth APP, Comfortable Seat

We’ve had this rower for about 4 months, and love it. My wife and I share use, and are both using it several times per week. Never liked excercise machines (boring), but this one is much more enjoyable - maybe it is the sound of the water? Machine is well made and attractive, and folds away when we have guests in the room. We are in our early 60s and wanted something that was low-impact. This gets some good upper body and cardio, plus some stretching. Quiet and smooth action. Simple to assemble. Price goes up and down, so keep a watch. Would definitely recommend.

Very solid and well constructed. Comes almost fully assembled took about 1/2 hour to have it assembled for use. This is more of an endurance building machine than one for putting on muscle mass offers resistance but not a lot. I am 76 and not as flexible as I once was therefore since this sits almost on the floor if you are older you may have a problem getting on and off the seat. If you put a chair next to it that solves this issue. I talked to the trainer at the Y and my physical therapist and they both thought that this machine plus using the Y would be good for me. I was surprised at the quality for the price. If you want to be able to exercise at home this seems to be a good way to go. Once in the seat it is comfortable and quit. The box it comes in is heavy so if you cannot move about 75 pounds be sure to have help to get it to the location for use.

Great price.Very fast shipping.Easy to assemble.Lovely finished product that is easy on the eyes.Comfortable seat.Correctly positioned foot rests.Comfortable hand grips.WONDERFUL sound !!! From the first pull I was transported back to rowing on our private lake back home. I could see the heron watching me from the shore, and smell the pine trees on the hillside. This was so much more than I expected from some exercise in my basement. I could do this all day. I was so excited to take a 15 min break from work each day and zip downstairs for a row around the lake.Then . . . .Day 3, The Squeak.Pull back - squeeeeak squeeeeakGlide forward - squee squee SqueeeakBack - squeeeeakForward - squee squee SqueeeakNon-stop squeaking across the rails. Louder than the lovely water sound. Such an annoying constant noise. How do I make it stop?I had to force myself to complete even 15 minutes today.It seems the plastic rail guard on which the seat rollers rest is not sitting flush against the wooden rail, as I can push down on it (with the seat rolled back) with one finger and recreate that terrible squeak. I don't know why it took 2 days for the noise to begin. The rails were perfectly silent at first.Has anyone else received a squeaky machine ?UPDATE: 04/17/24 My son began fiddling with the plastic rails in attempt to diagnose the squeaking problem. In fiddling with one rail he slid a fingernail along its length searching for a hidden clue as to what creating the squeak. Viola! That rail stopped squeaking. So he did the same to other rail and it is now also silent. I have now increased rating from 4 stars to 5. Love this little mechanical wonder. Great workout every morning.

Backstory: My husband and I are on-water rowers who compete nationally (and in his case, internationally). I'm bigger on erging than he is for practical reasons; he prefers to be on water when weather is decent, and I'm contending with certain work hours. We both love C2 as a company (seriously) but there's one thing... just one thing... that made us sell our C2 and go with a lesser known water rower. The catch. Literally, the catch (beginning of the drive) - on a C2 (and again, we love 'em as a company) it is JARRING to the neck and hands because the flywheel slows to the point where the pressure shock results in neck pain and wrist pain. In my case, that meant eventual surgery. As a result, the biomechanics are #1, 2, and 3 in terms of importance.As of this writing, this is a newer product (released December 2023) and has no more than 20 reviews. I looked at 40+ machines and took the chance on this one based on good, but limited, feedback. Experience thus far:Delivery: no issue. Well packed, one person can carry (two are recommended).Assembly: the video is much more helpful than the written instruction. Save yourself time and hassle and go straight to the video.Mobility: definitely easy enough. We won't be moving it around that much, but if you need to, that really shouldn't be a challenge! Pick it up on the center crossbar and up she goes on four wheels.Filling the tank: easy. Funnel is included.Noise during use: as expected. Not overly quiet, not overly loud. We can listen to videos, have a conversation, no problem. And as other reviewers have stated, there is a soothing aspect to it.Seat and glide: the seat is awesome (gel cushion is just ride), and the glide is absolutely perfect. Keep the rails clean to keep it that way.The drive: This is where this thing really shines. We started at a level 3 (use water lines on the right side of the tank, from the perspective of being seated on the machine) for long-distance rows. There was another reviewer who stated it wasn't a workout at all; I'm not sure how that is possible unless the tank was empty. But perhaps the fans were faulty in that reviewer's case - not clear. There is no hard catch - it is EXACTLY as it feels on the water, and it WANTS you to accelerate through the drive, as you should. In short, it feels awesome and is as close to an on-water experience and I could want it to be. Upped it to mock sprint training, since we're coming up on sprint season. We'll take it back down to a 4 when we get ready for head race season. It's not the most convenient thing to change the tank level mid-workout, so plan your training accordingly.Foot well / straps: The straps do rotate around when you adjust, but they stay put once fastened. I could see a scenario where they (the buckles) don't hold forever, but I can easily replace with sturdier buckle at a later time. This doesn't bug me.Wishlist: sure, I wish it had a shelf for a tablet or something. It doesn't. I can add one aftermarket. In the meantime, just leaving my tablet on the floor within reach.Console: this is the the only con thus far. Display contrast is not spectacular, but it a well lit room it's fine. Metrics... the metrics are nowhere near accurate. Split is twice what it should be and meters per stroke are half what they should be. Total distance is about half what it should be. Watts, I'm truly not sure where they are. They seem about right based on other machine experience (C2 is my benchmark). If you're getting this and participating in indoor rowing competitions, it's going to be a real downer. IGNORE THE STATS, friends. Perceived level of effort, good form, and quality of workout are key. The stats that this thing gives you - no way. Just no way.We got it for the training quality and biomechanics, not for erging competitions (been there, done that). For the price point, IMO, you can't go wrong. I've had no need to engage customer service, but in a couple pre-sale exchanges, they seemed responsive enough.If anything material changes, I'll post an edit. I do plan to post usage video as well, in the next week.Happy rowing.

Item arrived well packaged and complete. No damaged parts. Assembly was easy and directions complete. Beautiful piece of workout equipment. Water sound is relaxing and very audibly pleasing compared to the traditional fly wheel. The way it looks and sounds makes you crave some daily sculling. Our entire family is enjoying it and it is holding up well to multiple users a day every day of the week. Extremely pleased with the quality, aesthetics and functionality.After having this for a few weeks, am wondering why I didn't purchase this sooner. It is a significant savings over a gym membership and we are all consistently using it more. If you are looking for an all over body workout option from within your home - this is an excellent solution.
