Also I have decided because of the very good reviews by the end of December 2013 this machine. The structure was described several times in around 30 minutes by equip. The materials used the rowing machine do not appear high, but still acceptable in relation to the price. As I had noted when unpacking that the housing cladding was damaged, I have this reclaims the manufacturer. Here came the reply, the Panel was not in stock, I receive when available spare supplied and should simply replace the paneling without warranty. I then started again with my training. As mentioned by others the perceived difference of adjustable 10 levels is low. No difference especially 8-10 was perceptible for me. After 4 days of training, the noise level has greatly increased during the workout. I started with silicone spray to elaborate. When the rollers, this was also successful. However, the noise from the housing were also growing louder. Since I wg. the damaged housing anyway this was allowed to open without warranty, I have done so, to tackle here as well with silicone spray against the noise. The look inside reinforced unfortunately my impression of poor quality. The flywheel was not round and whose holders were not welded. Also, the imperceptible difference in the training stages 8 to 10 cleared. 9 and 10 can be adjusted while on rotary tables, but does not alter the magnetic braking system. 8, 9 and 10 are a step! However, the article description also promises only 8 adjustment stages that seem possible 10 steps of the rotary wheel lead here (consciously or not?) Astray. After working in the interior with plenty of silicone spray, the noise was bearable again. At level 8, I then completed the next 13,000 strokes with regular use of silicone spray. Then overtook me the fate that was not drawn with a bang after 15000 strokes the drawstring. I was disappointed with the overall quality, I have decided not to avail repair and prefer to send the rowing machine back. My conclusion after about six weeks, almost daily training is the low price seems to be reflected, unfortunately, in a low quality. If you want longer take pleasure in training, should rather invest more money! For my part, this rowing machine for intense or prolonged exercise suffers not recommend.
