Sunny Health & Fitness SF-RW5606 Elastic Cord Rowing Machine

My Rowing Machine arrived next day. As requested I read all of the instructions before attempting to assemble my Rowing machine. The instructions were very good in the fact that everything was numbered, but I still found it was a good idea to familiarise yourself with all the different pieces before assembly.There is one problem I have identified with the wiring connection along the tubular frame were you plug the two connectors to the display. It didn't matter how hard I tried when I folded the seat up it disconnected the plug in the end I have left the seat down in the horizontal position, other than that I am very pleased with it. If it hadn't been for the problem with the wire connection I would have given it all five star's.

This equipment was very good. Easy to put together comfortably seat and easy to use.That was the problem. The resistance on the highest setting wasn't very good. My husband is 58 just wanted something to use to keep moving but he could actually pull it with just two fingers. I have bad shoulders but could still use it so be mindful who will be using it.

It is a complex bit of kit, but the well-packaged components together with clear instructions made assembly quite easy. It is much better than I expected for the price.

The machine itself is very sturdy and great for the taller person. I am 6ft 1 and find I can row quite comfortably. The issue I have is with the poor design of the folding mechanism. It does not consider the wire which connects to the counter and is very easy to trap the wire when folding and unfolding. Consequently even though I was being very careful the connection has already been severed. I will keep using the machine as I like it very much but I will have to time myself using my phone.

The delivery was brilliant, the delivery man brought the heavy package up to the third floor for this I give 5 stars. In terms of storage and assemble its good. However, there is no resistance, the resistance at the most difficult level is so low that it seems it was made for a seven year old child. Also, I am 5'5 so rather short and I would say anyone taller than me could struggle with their knees on this machine. I did 1/2 hour the first day it said I burnt 700 calls but it was easy I would say for me even though I am not that fit.

Thank you so much I use this rowing machine every morning for 15 minutes, it has improved my physical and mental health and I look forward to getting up and using it before the daily grind

I have found this so useful for so many exercises. Let me say firstly that I don't actually use it for rowing as it hurts my lower back. I don't think this is the machine, more my back.But, I have found so many different uses for it. I stand it up vertically against the wall (and attach it), in the shed, and this is how I keep it. I use it for tricep pull downs. I also lie on my back, and pull the cord toward chest (as in an arm rowing action). I sit on a tool box, with my back to the machine and pull it down with my arms from overhead.Sometimes I put it flat on the floor, in the traditional way, and just do the leg rowing action holding the seat with my hands. This gives a great leg workout.This thing is so versatile. It is a multi gym if you have an area where you can put it vertically against a wall and attach it to the wall. I have put a hook in the wall and attach it either side of the machine (on the levers you use to adjust the resistance) with bungee elastic cable from Halfords/Amazon.The manufacturers are missing a trick just selling this as a rowing machine. I use it almost everyday for one exercise or another.
