Ratings & Reviews for Sunny Health & Fitness Magnetic Foldable Rowing Machine

Plastic Seam Uneven, Extremely Low Tension

Good: Assembly instructions were very clear. Easy to use. Bad: Plastic seam seemed to come apart at first attempt to use. The monitor screen is very, very basic. At the highest setting, the tension is lower than most rowers I’ve been on’s, lowest setting. This cannot be used directly on hard surfaces, you must have a mat or carpet, it will slide and slides far. If you’re someone that likes to watch workout videos or put in your airpods and go, keep in mind there is nowhere to set anything on...

I found an assembly video

I found an assembly video online which made it that much easier and that’s a huge plus because I am not good at that!

Worth my $$$

The rowing machine was very easy to assemble. I have severe problems with my knees and this is the only exercise that I feel is beneficial to me and I do enjoy without pain. I have set up a plan and use it daily, minus one day off. I am working out for 15 minutes and building my intensity gradually. Well worth the money! Nice machine too! Nice addition to my home gym.

great value for the money

great value for the money easy to put together works beautifully smooth good resistance levels sturdy

Assembly instructions and step-by-step packaging

Assembly instructions and step-by-step packaging good. Rear stnd - three screw holes good - one off set and cross-threaded.

Excellent unit for a workout.

Excellent unit for a workout. Levels of resistance are good and easily adjusted. Very quiet and smooth operation, but seat is hard. Recommend the optional seat cushion.

Good value, a bit short for my height

Very good value. My only issue is I’m 6’3 with long arms. I could use a longer rail and handle bar.

A good fit for me

A good fit for me and others in our household. Once put together, simple to use. Price was perfect if you are comparing to others.

Not good for longevity

Got this machine in 9/2020 and used it quite a bit. Today 1/3/2022 it failed. The action was rough at first then failed completely. The internal belt seems to be intact but must have come off it’s track. I expected a longer life.

Decent rower, Floor Stabilizers break easy

This rower works fine and is a great rower for home. However, there’s one big issue - the plastic stabilizers break easily. The stabilizers take all the weight of the rower on a piece of plastic. It’s not a good design. For this reason, it might be worth getting a nice rower with less plastic.

Best for beginners

This is the first rowing machine I have purchased. While it’s probably good for the price, if you are serious I would recommend getting a better rower. The seat is on the hard side, pedal is huge and lack adjustability. I am a little tall and return stroke I have to cut short. These are all minor issues and this machine is a great beginner rower if you are interested in rowing and seeing if its for you.

Amazing value

I was pleased with the clear directions and ease of assembly, and surprised by the build quality. It looks good too, and the seat is super comfortable. Great value for the money!

I rowed to Gilligan’s Island.

I’m happy with the rower’s smoothness, when pulling the handles as well as the gentle glide of the seat. I still haven’t figured out the monitor, but I just prefer to row to 3-4 of my 80’s rock songs and I feel I get a good upper body work out, while imagining I’m out rowing on a body of water. Took my husband and I about 50 minutes to put it together. We’re enjoying the variety of rowing and weights one day, then using our Minotaur Spin bike the next day.

I love it. It's just

I love it. It's just what I've always wanted. Thanks

Great entry level machine

Exactly what I was looking for--simple, solid, and functional at a great price. And best instructions I have ever seen--makes assembly a breeze for even the mechanically inept like me.

For the limited budget that

For the limited budget that I'm on this was a great purchase. My exercise is limited to walking outdoors when the weather is nice so I needed to do something to get through the long cold winter months and this rower at the price I got it, was perfect. So happy I got it. After a couple of weeks I already see results as I'm on it everyday for twenty minutes. Couldn't be happier.
