Sunny Health & Fitness Dual Function Magnetic Rowing Machine - SF-RW5622

I've been using the machine for three months now and I'm pretty happy with it. It is a simple rowing machine, nothing fancy about it, but it gets the job done. I live in a small house with roommates and this machine fits in my room well. It is a little hard for me to move around, but I have never had such a hard time with it that it keeps me from working out. It's not the stupidest machine, and for me that's fine since I have a petite frame, but if you are a large dude or something this may not be great for you. For where I am in life right now, and simply wanting the machine for a nice variation in my full body workouts, it's perfect. If you are simply wanting a small machine at a really economical price point that will simply just let you row and get the job done, this is the machine for you.

I bought this as a second-life item. It was „used - like new“ so it was SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper. But it was basically new. It seems to have been an opened box but the machine was brand new and all parts were still wrapped and untouched. So this was an amazing deal. It was a little tedious to put together, but not impossible. It took me (I’m a not very strong and handy woman) about an hour to have the whole thing unboxed and put together, if I remember correctly. The machine itself seems like great quality (especially for the price) and does exactly what it’s supposed to do. It has 8 resistance settings and I think they are fine and strong enough.

This review for Sunny Health & Fitness SF-RW5622 Dual Function Magnetic Rowing Machine. What I like: Good value. Near Silent mechanism, so I can watch videos while using it. Folds up easily - saves space. Front casters make moving around easier. 2 position footrest locations. Footrests are sturdy. Standup exercise arm curls possible. Can improve on: Magnetic resistance could be a bit light (even at maximum setting of 9) for a strong person who wants a more powerful, intense work-out. For me it is ok, I am doing more aerobic, 1000 strokes sessions. If you want a short, high resistance workout, this may not be for you. The seat feels a bit uncomfortable after 30 minutes. I found a solution – I wear my biking shorts with built-in seat cushion. I found the standup arm curling position not that useful. I have free weights which work much better for arms. If you don’t then this machine may be a good alternative. The assembly is not hard, takes about 15 minutes. Shipment is quite heavy, like 75 pounds. All tools are provided. After assembly, I had to move the foot rests to the lower position because my knees were hitting the row bar. The monitor display very simple info. (Ok for me as I only care about Strokes and ET.)

I am so pleased with this machine. I have wanted one for years and I am not disappointed with this one. It is relatively quiet, the seat sliding back and forth is the loudest part on it. I am 5’ 6” and it is a good fit for me. I often use it while watching baseball games on TV. If I am using it when I am not watching something, I bring up YouTube and there are plenty of scenic videos and videos from a canoe, or kayak, or stand up paddle board (SUP). Some videos even have a clock in the bottom corner of the screen that shows how long you have been rowing. I really like the videos as I row. I use my Apple Watch on indoor rowing. I set it for 15 or 30 minutes and it reads out to me when I get half-way and when I am done. Set-up was not too difficult. I just took it in the sections and steps set out in the book. The parts you need to use are labeled on the part they are packed on. It has the tools, although I did use my own socket wrench for part of it. I definitely recommend this product.

It wasn’t quite easy but doable. It’s maneuvered only while the seat portion is still extended. Doesn’t make sense to me but it’s ok. The holes and knob does not easily screw in for the storage position. I have a problem every time. The function of the rower is great. I especially purchased this model for its stand up use, upper body. The screen can be more intuitive. Not readily understood.

You get what you pay for, I guess. Putting it together would have been easier if: 1. The paint hadn't flaked off the bottom, revealing rusty metal underneath. 2. The connection from the seat to the panel, which counts reps and distance, was broken. We tried to fix the connection by rewiring it. The connection worked for 2 days, and now it registers nothing. But I'm a positive person, so--at least we can still change the resistance. I can just use my phone for a timer or not count at all. Maybe I'll work out more while watching Murder, She Wrote or Psych, which is better than the news or remodeling shows they keep showing at the gym. Those definitely make me count the minutes. The seat isn't very comfortable, but it's not bad. It slides easily. Maybe I'll put a towel on it for padding, see if that makes a difference. It's mostly my lower back that protests. The pedals are a little far apart for a short person, but it forces me to keep my knees from leaning toward each other and ruining my form. Overall, it's a good product for a beginner. I have POTS, so I just wanted something to help with cardio to go along with my other physical therapy that keeps my symptoms at bay. My cardiologist said I had to have equipment where I can sit down so I don't have so far to fall if I pass out. It was this or a Peloton, and I'm not shelling out $2500 for a stationary bike. If I had that much money laying around, I'd go on vacation. If you're serious about rowing, you're going to want to look elsewhere.

Je voulais renvoyer la machine et me faire rembourser car elle ne convient pas à mon besoin finalement mais il nous fait payer les frais de retour.

Es un producto muy sólido, resistente, bien armado, el empaque protege muy bien el envío y tiene instructivo en español, además tiene todas las piezas numeradas para facilitar la identificación y el ensamble que no es muy difícil pero si lleva un par de horas y a pesar de que proporciona herramienta es mucho más fácil de armar si tienes herramienta propia, en cuanto al uso al ser magnética la vuelve muy silenciosa la intensidad del ejercicio es acordé a lo esperado y la calidad de los materiales corresponde al precio, el único detalle que puede no gustar es el panel led ya que tiene unidades en millas y no se puede cambiar además de la velocidad promedio a 500 m pone la información en la misma escala del tiempo que se ha realizado el ejercicio, si buscas una máquina de calidad y buen precio es la indicada sino te importa sacrificar un poco la presicion en cuanto a calorías y recorrido estimado por el sensor
