ECHANFIT Water Rowing Machine Rower 400 LB Weight Capacity with 6 Levels Resistance for Home Use – R49 Max

I love this rower! I've always used air rowers at gyms but wanted one for my house and I thought I'd give teh water rower a try. It's so quiet and has a really relaxing, meditative "swoosh" sound with each row. It was pretty easy to assemble - the instructions were clear and all of the pieces were together. I would definitely recommend 2 people to assemble it. I am very happy with this rower and it's a great price too!

Shipping took some time but was super fast after emailing the company asking for an explanation of the delays. I just received this today, so keep that in mind when considering the possible longevity of this machine. First things first....I’m 5’5, 135 lbs, and had no issues moving the box into my home or even putting it together by myself. That alone is quite a feat because when I was 17, I joined the military and aced every portion of the ASVAB except the mechanical part (to the point where jokes were made to keep me away from tanks and I’ll be okay). In summation, I’m not mechanically inclined. Every piece feels heavy duty and of good quality, aside from the fact it’s made in China. The only two pieces that seemed cheap and pointless were the cup holder (oddly positioned between your feet) and the flimsy phone holder. I didn’t even attach the phone holder because I intend to listen to music or watch shows using my TV while I work out. The seat is comfy, although slightly firm and the rowing handles are comfortable, although the padding on one side kept sliding off during use. The foot straps feel sturdy, the tank was easy to fill, and I love the sound of the water moving while I work. Overall, I’d score this purchase a 4.5 out of 5 stars and feel it’s an excellent bargain for $399.Update, 06/15/2021: So far, it’s held up incredibly well! I even moved and it remained intact. This was a wonderful purchase.

After a thorough research, I bought this rower because of the weight compacity and 14 inch seat. After owning for three months and getting over 10,000 rows, here is my breakdown. Keep in mind that I am not a professional rower.1. The resistance is lacking. I would say that with the water level filled to compacity, this offers 25 lbs of resistance if that at all. If you buy this machine, practice a few times to get your proper form, then buy resistance bands to make the pulling action more difficult and add resistance to your rower.2. The seat is uncomfortable. I can only do about 30 minutes before I can't take it any more due to the seat. I am a big guy and I would say Buy a rower seat cushion to increase hieght a little and to add more rear end endurance3. The module/phone stand will fall down. You will need to tighten the bolts/screws from time to time.4. After 2000 rows, a squeak developed in the metal bar underneath the seat when you row and slide back. Id you are concerned about sound, be prepared for this. It's not too bad but if you need whisper quiet operation, be prepared. I hear that there is a fix for this but I haven't tried it yet.5. When you stand it up, I would recommend standing it against a wall. It is kinda rocky and if you stand it up in the middle of a room and leave it, and someone knocks into it, the machine may fall over.Other than that installation took about an hour and I did it by myself with no extra tools. Overall I would say that it was worth the price and this machine combined with caloric deficit and 1 hour walking a day has helped me to lose 20lbs in three months

I know there is a build quality in this price range difference for sure. I researched over and over and over but if you are going to spend $300 plus on THIS one, I'd spend $700 plus and get a real decent one (nordic or sunny health or something like that ) because you don't want to be disappointed in spending 300 plus dollars for sure. This one is a great deal at 150 but that is about it. The digital screen will quit right away and useless, the ipad holder is a joke and useless. The feet straps hurt your feet and will break and require a diy solution soon after purchasing it if you actually use it at all. It is sad they know to charge double the price it is worth because it is double that before you can actually get anything better. Better off to get something else or nothing at all because it stinks to be sad you spend this kind of money and will end up selling at a yard sale for $50 IF YOUR LUCKY! AND PROBABLY MORE LIKE GIVING IT AWAY IN A YEAR OR SO....

This machine is amazing, it was easy to assemble with the 6 step instructions. It feels so smooth and the water sound is so relaxing. It is very sturdy and well made.

With less than 10 minutes of use the rubber on the handle is already breaking off at the ends. Also the display screen doesn’t register any activity. I’ve tried disconnecting and reconnecting in every possible combination (as the instructions on how to connect are not very specific) but I get nothing. Also the diagrams in the assembly manual are so small it’s impossible to discern the proper bolt and washer configuration.*** after contacting the seller I was sent instructions and a video link to remove the cover of the machine and adjust the induction rods which happened to be glued down . Easier said than done but I did manage to do it. And with that adjustment it does seem to work.

Super happy with this rower. Super easy to assemble. Screws came labeled with the steps they belonged to. The steps in the instructions guide were easy to read. I mentally had a two hour timeline as a treadmill (a while back) took me over four and a half hours to put together, but I was literally done in under 20 minutes! It’s super quiet. It’s super smooth. I wish the resistance was a little more but by the time I get to 5000m I’m pretty spent. It’s one of those items I wished I could by more of but realistically I don’t need two rowers.

I got this for my husband and he is very pleased with it.It was easy to assemble and stands upright when you aren’t using it.It works very well.Pleased that we went with the water over a fan, it has a very pleasing sound when you row.

I received the item assembled it and was happy ad excited then as I start to fill the water tank i notice a crack from a screw tightened too much (factory error) and dont know how else to contact the supplier. once I get a replacement tank then I can make the review what it should be. (update) The customer service department were great and sent a replacement. I am very satisfied and rower works well and makes for great exercise. Thanks ECHANFIT!

Absolutely love this machine!!! Very well built and easy to assemble. True full body workout!!!

For $700 it’s decent. Feels a little rickety and the seat makes an unpleasant noise. I feel this will not last long.

Assembly was simple and the machine functions properly and it every sturdy. However the resistance is practically nothing at all. I have filled the water barrel to the max line and it doesn’t feel like there’s any resistance at all. This was a waste of time and money. Taking this apart will be a huge pain and I won’t be able to fit the box in my car to return it.
