MERACH Rowing Machine, Magnetic Rower Machine for Home, 16 Levels of Quiet Resistance, Dual Slide Rail with Max 350lb Weight Capacity, App Compatible

Good workout
The Merach R-02 rowing machine arrived very well packaged and protected and secure and was very easy to assemble and only had one tiny error in having an incorrect style of washer in the connector kit – a very minor issue.All comments we had read about how quiet the unit is while in use are true, when my Wife is using it I can’t even hear it in the next room and when I use it and am quite a bit heavier the sound is still smooth and quiet. I am 5’10 and the length of the rails are perfect with several inches to spare, but not sure if a person 6’4” would be a good fit. As far as weight they say 350 lbs is tops and I’m 230 lbs and it’s solid enough to easily handle my weight and power. If you are stronger I would probably consider the version that has water and magnetic resistance combined. We only have the magnetic resistance which is on the light side for me resistance wise but perfect for my Wife who is 100lbs lighter ! We currently have about 12,000 cycles / pulls on this unit and it seems as though we will get over 100,000 before possibly having to replace the rail seat wheels ( just a feeling, nothing scientific with that comment ). I had a hip replacement recently and found this was a perfect workout prior to and physical therapy after the surgery and really helped with range of motion and getting a light aerobic workout. The intensity is up to you, dial up resistance level and control your speed as you desire and you can also decide how deep of a rowing load sliding motion / extension you want.We’ve had this for about three months. All in all the quality, design and usefulness is of greater value than the cost which was way less than most other options. Have recommended to many friends and Family !

Dual resistance types and excellent design make for a good rower
I have a left hip replacement, in addition to the condition that my feet turn outward quite a bit. I like rowing a lot, and I used to have a cheaper magnetic-only resistance rower, but this model locked your feet in a fixed vertical position with little wiggle room due to the smaller foot platforms. The result was that my knees would hurt due to rowing in these conditions and I ended up selling this rower.The MERACH model not only provides a cool dual resistance method, but also a very flexible foot platform that allows me to rotate my feet a bit outward when I row. Please see picture to show this. I can row with different foot positions and my knees no longer hurt when I row. My brother also has this condition and he was thrilled to hear what I had to say about this rower. Now, he is looking to buy one!The 16″ handle is smooth and very comfortable to grab and hold for long periods of time rowing. Note the difference to a typical row handle attachment for a Universal Machine type of equipment. Please see picture. The weight-lifting type has a sort of grip pattern that is only meant to be used for doing short duration row sets during lifting.The seat of this rower glides smoothly and quietly. It is a bit firm and takes getting used to, but be careful of the cushion/comfort tradeoff with support. I recently bought a few different rower seat cushion models. One in particular had quite a bit of gel and was very comfortable. But then, I tested this during a 20min row, and my lower back was killing me afterward! The standard seat with this rower is firm as mentioned, but also provides excellent support and ergonomics for your rowing. This is so important! (I will be doing some returns for the seat cushions I bought).Lastly, I really like the water and electromagnetic combined resistances. When you use the rower without any music/app etc., you can really hear the water movement and it sounds so cool! It feels like you are really rowing on the water when you use this machine. Initially, I filled the chamber a bit too high with water, but the included water pump was a breeze to work and allowed me to easily take down the water level to about the 5 setting (please see picture). This rower has 16 different settings (8 more than my old rower had). And you can even further customize it by varying your chosen water levels from the 1 to 6 scale shown on the side of the tank.Overall, I feel this rower has a lot to offer for the money and is top notch in its category of rowers.

Es algo pequeña, pero muy funcional yo mido 1.87 y la puedo usar sin ningún problema, los diferentes niveles de resistencia funcionan bastante bien para principiantes e intermedios, es muy fácil de armar, incluye las herramientas para ensamblarla, lo mejor de todo es que llego mucho antes de la fecha estimada. Buena calidad, recomiendo ampliamente.

La maquina esta fabricada de buenos materiales y es muy funcional, llevo pocos días usándola y esta dandome buenos resultados.
