Smart Magnetic Rowing Machine

Brilliant piece of kit. Arrived extremely well packed. Took about 40 minutes to put together, following the online video. Very easy to use and works well with the Sunnyfit training app. Enjoying a morning work out everyday. Would definitely recommend.

Smooth, we will see how durable it is

Nice rowing machine except for 2 things: 1) not enough tension...once you get to 8 you're at the top of the tension range and; 2) VERY LOW TO THE GROUND...had I noticed that in the product description I would have selected another rowing machine.

This is a great way to start for someone trying to get back in the shape!

Got this for my Birthday and after a small setup, I got to try it out. This rower works very well and I like the seat and the no-slip shoe holders are fantastic. The things I do not like are the pull rope feels a little chunky (not a deal breaker) and the display just keeps going back and forth. All in All a very good product. 4 stars.

Solid purchase. I'm a female in my 30s. I needed a bit of help to carry the box into my basement, but otherwise I set up the machine on my own. The instructions were clear and it was very easy. The machine works well and does not feel cheap. The app was easy to access and had some good workouts available, if you choose to use that feature. Docked one point for the seat, which is pretty hard and made my butt sore after a 20 minute workout. Going to look for options to add a bit of padding. Otherwise, I'd definitely recommend to anyone looking to buy home workout equipment.

Recommendation: Keep a cloth nearby to wipe down the track before every use.+: Relatively easy initial assembly. Flywheel action is smooth and quiet. Not humongous. Feels solid. I love rowing and it's getting me to exercise!meh: Some noise from the roller on the track (but that can't be entirely eliminated; and I can still hear the telly, so it's fine for me). Probably too much noise in a room where someone is trying to sleep (.... which isn't a good place to exercise, anyway....).-: Folding is easy, but reassembly after that is not so easy. For better or worse, this will stay in the room it's in most of the time. (I don't need to fold it much, so it works for me.)--: Can't connect BT to app without having GPS enabled and getting signal, so can't use it in basement. And why does BT connection require access to GPS in the first place???? (There was a known limitation in Android 11 and below, but I'm on Android 13, so the app needs only "nearby devices" permission to connect to the BLE computer and not "location" permission. Even if it wanted location permission, it doesn't need GPS to be active.)

Good exercise for this 76 year old senior woman, using 14 on pull. Easy to assembly, did it with my 10 year old grandson. Only thing I do not like—screen with stats is very small and dark (cannot see it while rowing), and foot pedals are huge, even though I have a 10.5 size foot, my feet slide around the pedals and I am using the straps, but still annoying while rowing. Solid machine, price okay.

Setup for my son and I took about an hour from unboxing to complete. All the parts were there and the instructions were clear. The diagrams in the instructions were too small for my old (73) eyes. The rower feels sturdy after assembly. However I noticed immediately that the exercise computer was not working. All settings just read 0 while I was rowing. Checked the two connections and they were fine. Contacted Sunny about some on-site warranty service and was told they don't do that. My choices are look for the problem myself and send them a pic if I find it or return it to Amazon. So I have to take the rower apart looking for a wiring problem? Not acceptable to me. I'll either just use it without the computer or send it back. Disappointing. Edit - Before returning the rower to Amazon I was able to find an easy fix for the problem by removing the computer and bracket, then disconnecting and reconnecting the two leads. After reattaching the computer it was working. Added one star to the review.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I picked this brand over others because it offered a free app for Android. Turns out, the app isn't compatible with any of the THREE Android devices I own.I contacted their Customer Service, and they told me there was nothing they could do. They can't even give me an estimate for when the app will be available for any of my devices. Save yourself the trouble and download the app BEFORE you buy to make sure your device is one of the small number they support.As for the rower itself, it's quite basic. It works well, although the handle feels a bit on the low side (and I'm pretty short).  The plastic roller under the seat is slowly shredding itself, leaving small plastic shavings over the rail so that I have to wipe it down regularly.  Other than that I have no complaints.

It' s VERY good but I find the seat a bit uncomfortable. It' s too hard and it is raised- up a bit at the back (it has a lip) and it' s causing discomfort. It should be plain and straight and softer. May be I' ll get used to it with time. I' ll see.I got used to the seat but I am bigger man at 200 Lbs so my butt is a little bigger than normal so the contoured seat does not work very well for me, I would prefer if there as a flat seat. It would be nice if there was an option for a contoured, or flat seat. I' d choose the flat seat.Thanks.

After researching rowing machines for a couple of years, my husband and I decided to purchase the Sunny Health & Fitness Magnetic Rowing Machine (purchased March 2026). We started slowly as we are older. We gave it a 4 rating because although we love the machine, the straps that hold your feet are fraying already. The cause appears to be the slot in the pedal - when you slide the strap through it to tighten, then loosen it.

Machine works great. I’ve been using it for several months now, and feel I’m getting a really good work out every time. The app, however is one of the more complicated ones. And on top of that I keep getting a “server is busy, please try again later” message. So I’ve decided to not use the app. If you want to keep track of your workouts the app is iffy.

It was easy to assemble with very clear directions and all of the screws and smaller pieces were well labeled. The resistance settings are decent and had no issues swapping between them. The rail slides nicely and the cord retracts well. The stat tracker is fine, a bit basic but I wasn't expecting fancy. I didn't try the app at all so I'm not sure if that gives more info than the one on the machine. While it's no Concept2 it's a good product and a good workout.There are some things I think could be improved though. The foot rests I feel move a bit too much. I'd like it more if they were more stationary. I've tightened the screws down as much as the provided tools will allow and when I'm returning to the start position the foot rests tilt up slightly which I could see causing some ankle issues. Also the wheels to move it are not in the best position. I have to tilt the machine pretty far forward to get the wheels to make contact and I did accidentally scratch my floor when trying to move it. The other thing it could use is some anti-slip pads on the front and back legs. I have my machine on a very smooth laminate wood floor and it slides around a bit when I'm pulling with force.TL:DR: For the price it is a good rowing machine. It's not a Concept2 but if that's what you are expecting just buy the Concept2. It does have a few minor issues but overall a good machine.

I bought this rower because of the discount and the reviews. So far it’s working very nice, easy and smooth.

Great addition to our home gym. Relatively easy to assemble (husband did it by himself in less than an hour). Versatile size-wise - my husband (6'3'') and myself (5'4'') can both use it. We just wish the resistance was a bit higher. It's not the end of the world because we can up speed and/or reps, but more resistance would be nice.

Good price and good tool

This machine was easy to assemble. Good directions and when I got on it it was so smooth! I am really enjoying it!

Exactly what I wanted for my home gym. Elegant. Simple. Quiet. And it feels good. I like their free iphone and apple watch apps. Very easy to keep track of heart rate and see other parameters on you phone. One month of using. No issues or complains.

First of all, it arrived six days early!!!Not happy that there is one washer missing and getting one seems impossible 😳😡Easy to follow directions. I think it took about two hours putting it together alone. But I need the missing washer!!!

All I can say is this unit is performing well, four weeks into its use.

Excited to start learning. It’s easy to put together, quiet , and the classes are a great part of this rower.

I’ve had this machine for a little less than two weeks but so far, everything about it has been great. Assembly was super easy. The machine performs very well and definitely kicks my butt.

Screen small but unit works well and is easy to set up

Wish the magnetics were stronger. But you get what you pay for. Just have to work out longer

It is great for my husband and I to use during the cold winter months to keep our cardio going. The seat is good-not great but it isn’t going anywhere. The team that put it together for us were really nice and had a great work ethic.

sleek design, minimal noise you can easily set this up and work out while you watch TV the adjustable settings allow you to work out to your level, great for getting back into shape or maintaining your health

It took me awhile to get to this to set up. There are a lot of pieces but the directions are awesome! They are very precise and packaged spectacularly. Really happy with this item. The only drawback is that the place where my phone could be improved.

Clear installation instructions, very easy to assemble.Small footprint and easy to use with good workout.

The machine is extremely well packaged to prevent damage during shipping. By far the easiest step by step instructions to follow with the parts labeled by each step. As far as the machine goes . . . Great bang for your buck. I wish the resistance could be just a little stronger but overall I'm satisfied and would recommend to anyone else thinking about purchasing a row machine.
