Worth it. Start your rowing journey with this one!
Magnetic Pro Rower: It get’s the job done. I wanted to save up for a Concept 2 ($1,599) but 4th of July day deal was in full swing so I grabbed the Yosuda for $400 (approximately). After one workout I’d say it’s earned its keep. I was following along a training video and working up a sweat at a relatively low resistance level. It runs smooth and sound is acceptable. It’s not loud and it’s not creaking or clanking anywhere. Once you’re in the flow you can kind of imagine the sound like rushing water on each drive/stroke movement.Cons: while there is a digital data screen, this really is a no frills rower. No Bluetooth. No LCD. It’s just you and the machine. For a beginner, I think it’s perfect! The Digital data screen will count strokes, distance, time, RPM and power. It has an iPad/phone holder which is great for watching videos about rowing while using the rower or Shogun or whatever.Having been been toying with the idea of buying a rower for over a year, I’d say this one was a great choice to start with and get me moving towards my goals instead of just thinking about them.

Talk about a surprise when I bought this and I was trying to use the free ride on the app it recommends. But I see the Peloton app ask if I wanted to connect my rower. My eyes widened and I couldn’t connect fast enough…it worked (bc of the ftms bluetooth). Wow game changer!!!! I like connecting to Peloton and doing their classes while at the same time seeing my matrix up on the screen (I cast my phone to the tv but it works on the phone or laptop/ipad too on the rowers screen platform). My husband prefers using the rowers free ride app option and watches a TV show at the same time. So it works for everyone! For reference….I’m 5’2″ and my husband is 6’2″ with our teen boys still growing but almost as tall as their dad. It fits the whole family with however we choose to use it. We couldn’t be happier!!!!

Update:After about 7 weeks of use, the water rower is still functioning well. I’m 6’3″, and the rower’s track was juuust long enough for me. My dad is 6’4″, and complained that it was a little too short, so I made the modification shown in my picture, which added about another 1.5″ of length to the track. I’m not advising doing this, as it compromises the integrity of the rower’s design a bit (and is the reason I added the support bolts shown), but it’s worked very well for us. I also added a book reading light to illuminate the electronic display (shown in my other pic), since it was too dark to see for my dad. I don’t know why they didn’t add an LED to the display for the negligible extra cost it would have presented, but oh well.______________________________________________________________________________________________I have owned/used the Stamina X air rower for several years, and wanted to get a rower for my dad, so I looked into water rowers again, which have come down in price significantly from when I shopped for my rower years ago.I have put in several pretty vigorous hours on this Yosuda water rower, and have been impressed by the solid, smooth feel. It is definitely superior to my old air rower. 2 potentially helpful hints….1. The assembly video for attaching the rear support stand to the rails shows the 4 bolts being installed backwards. The nuts should be attached to the inside of the rails, not outside, or else the seat will not travel back all the way to the bumper/limiter (don’t ask me how I found this out), since the nuts will be in the way.2. For those complaining that the bluetooth does not function for usage with the apps – try pulling the rower a stroke or two before attempting a connection with your phone app. Just turning on the electronic display alone does not seem to activate the bluetooth on my unit.

Smooth performance. Sets up.in about an hour. Straps/stirrups and seat are comfy. Resistance scales up as you fill the tank. Great lee impact workout. Meds about 7×2′ to iterate and stowes standing up as shown. Great screen interface. App is optional but not at all necessary.

It’s smaller than pictured but I’m glad, fits in space perfectly! Does just what we need! We’ve only been using for a week but so far great buy for money!
