Broken after a short time
After only a few hours of use, the rowing machine has broken down. The elastic rope has come loose from the plastic module with the help of which it is attached to the rowing machine. A real indictment for such an expensive device.
Contra
- No quality control
Pleasant to use and beautiful
Pro
- Feeling the rower
- Resistance setting
Contra
- Resistance setting no longer works after 3 years of use
- Does not work 1 year after the end of the warranty
Works very well
The assembly was not the easiest, with some screws not going in smoothly and some parts not being perfectly fitted, but after I managed to finish it, I am very satisfied.
I use the rower 2-3 times per week those past months and I have no complaints. At the end, I don't find the sound of water so pleasant, so if you are after this rower because of water sound, I think it is not really worth it.
There was a tiny recipient of silver paint with the package (to repair any scratches), but it was all dried out. You will also find in the box some water decontamination tablets.
I don't store the rower vertically, but it is quite easy to lift it and move around (small wheels).Pro
- looks great
- comfortable handle and seat
- 10 levels of resistance
- easy to lift and store vertically
Contra
- some elements are hard to assemble
- paint for repairs was dried out
Top rowing machine

Pro
- easy assembly
- adjustable power
- comfortable and very quiet trolley
Contra
- instructions only in German and English
- Filling with the pump is tedious (it is more practical with a watering can and a funnel)
Ordinary part
For the price of 1099.-, as currently offered at Galaxus, the Rower gets a full recommendation from me. A great piece of equipment in solid quality, comparatively quiet in operation, nice to look at in the living room and can be stored quickly and in a space-saving way. Everything runs silky smooth, there is immediate resistance when pulling and the water resistance feels good. The only thing I would criticise is the range of functions and the mounting location of the computer, a C2 offers much more. But I wouldn't want to have it at home, because it looks like it does and it's also really loud. The computer is only a minor drawback, even in a fitness room where noise doesn't matter, I would prefer the water resistance.
