MERACH Water Rowing Machines for Home, Foldable Row Machine with 400LBS Weight Capacity, Dedicated Monitor and Comfortable Seat, Free MERACH App for Immersive Water Rower

It is a fun way of rowing with the app and integrating it with the games. This is a well made unit and I should know since I exceed 300lbs. Smooth strokes. The water chamber gives a nice resistance. I would recommend this unit. For the price it is a great choice.

I've wanted a water rowing machine for years but thought they were out of reach due to price. This machine is a fantastic value and allowed me to get a high quality water rower without breaking the bank. It is easy to set up, stores out of the way with a small footprint and is a joy to use. Excellent full body work out that is easy on my bad knees. Can be easy or a challenge, up to me whenever I use it. Solid build, comfortable, no issues with set up or operation. Looking forward to many years of use.

It’s a great machine but a little small. I'm 5’11” and can’t fully extend, however I’m recovering from an injury so it’s perfect to stay moving at home. I’ve never used a water rower before and I can tell it will not be strong enough once I get back to usual.

so far so GOOD

This thing is junk, the one way bearing stripped after 3 weeks of light duty use so there is no longer any resistance. It looks nice and appears well built but mechanically it is not. After purchasing a different brand (yosuda) the difference in resistance available became apparent. When full of water, full resistance, this provided abt a 4 out of a scale of 1-16 with the new machine. Much happier with the new one at a similar price point and better resistance options.

The apparatus within the water compartment that turns the water started breaking into small pieces and those pieces would clank around while using the rower. And now while pulling out the handlebars while rowing it loses tension and goes slack. No longer useable and we haven’t even used it for two weeks! Reached out to the company and had steady communication for a couple days and now I’ve heard nothing for several days. Still hoping for some resolution. Updated: switched to 3 stars. The sellers were great to work with and sent us a new rowing machine (we opted to go with a different model this time).

Well made, good for the value.

The rower looks nice and appears to have a solid build quality. The noise level is low and the assembly was very smooth and straightforward. However, it does not feel good as a rower. I am pretty experienced with rowing machines, but cannot manage to get above 100w on this machine. I don’t know if it is due to the multi-fin design of the paddles or what, but even with very dialed in form the resistance just is not there. Those leads to a very unsatisfying experience. The handles have an odd grip that will only allow a person to have their hands in one position, there is no adjustability. The foot pads will allow you to adjust your feet to a very low positions, but not high enough if you have smaller feet. Overall, if you are interested in having a rowing machine for purely aesthetic reasons, this would be a good option. Otherwise, even a very cheap magnetic rower might be a better route.
