Works, but also has a few weaknesses!

Video on Amazon.com Watch Now it starts again: The summer holidays are booked and half of Germany would be weight loss or at least fitter. This of course is also a rowing machine for your home. These are available in various price ranges and with different systems. This model is based on price rather lower level. This can of course suggest an inferior workmanship and quality. So much in advance: There are no sharp edges or "soft" metal pipes.

But first, all at the beginning. The goods are delivered safely packaged (cardboard in cardboard). All parts are individually wrapped and marked part (left / right). The guide - in English and German - is the first major challenge. Although the assembly is generally not complicated, but the manual confused again and again. There is contradictory, misleading and sometimes just plain wrong. Nevertheless, lay people have built up at the end of the day the device.

I do not know if I'll ever come on the device so as sweat during assembly. The feet (called plugs) must be plugged into the front pipes. Unfortunately Base diameter pipe and appear to be almost identical to what it only with the greatest effort possible to make your feet raise and bring into the correct position (see picture in the video).

Next complaint are the roles for the seat. These are made of plastic, the system itself seems to me greater exposure for durability. When tightening the screws too weak, the seat is running out of track. Considering the screws too tightly, the wheels are cross immediately. Therefore, one should put a lot of attention to the correct adjustment during assembly. As you load the seat with the full body weight while forward and backward rolls, I can not imagine that the parts are made to last (just a guess - read more I will add here after prolonged use phase).

If the device is assembled, you can start exercising. Suggestions for practice there for not in the manual. Also, the training computer is no mention. Ever, the computer: it counts with time, sometimes not. The calories consumed, he can only guess, because he knows neither my body measurements, even my current set resistor. For me personally, values ​​such as time, distance and calories burned not so relevant - with whom it is important factors: KO criterion! After corresponding with supplied batteries.

The resistance can be changed continuously. The 2 hydraulic cylinders are easily put this in a different position compared to the "rowing" (see video). It's simple and it works well.

The actual training works fine and really makes an impact. The seat is not overly comfortable, enough time for a unit but from. The roles could be a bit smoother. But overall quite satisfactory and with a conciliatory end to the rocky structure.

Superscript takes the device actually little space and fits in our comfortably beside the closet.

Conclusion: a star deduction for the painstaking construction, another for the meaningful free in my opinion training computer. All parts, especially the plastic do not have the impression of superior quality and value. But this I put in relation to the low price and therefore find it acceptable. Data concerning the stability I'll possibly add here.

I hope my review was helpful for your buying decision. I answer questions like on the comment function.
