SportPlus Rowing Machine for Home with Air Resistance (8 Levels)

Had this for a few weeks now . at first had an issue with noise from the band which gave the impression of rubbing and slightly uneven pull Also one of the footrests kept moving and slipping off the machine .I rang the helpline and spoke to a really helpful chap in English who sent me a selection of spares . I am not a technical guy but found them relatively easy to fit without issue and have had no problems since .I connected the device to my phone and a tablet via the appThere is a bit of a knack to it but once connected it works fine allowing clear concise measurement of progress and saving of previous stats. I find the lower settings good for warm up and at level 24 yes ( yes there are 24 levels of resistance ) it provides a good workout . It feels like a quality product and I am very pleased with my purchase

The machine itself is robust and a good workout. The Bluetooth compatibility and App are totally useless. (used this with a Sportsplus heart-strap) Unfortunately this means the cardio programs and fat burning programs don't provide any useful data or feedback. So it's a great rowing machine but you probably need to buy something additional to track heartrate and calorific burn.

purchased both the Rower SP-MR-009-iE and the Bike SP-HT-9500-E-B. I chose these because they both use the same computer and the same app developed by the supplier.Both machines work well though more Hyundai than Mercedes (they are probably like everything else made in Korea). Both are mains powered and the transition in resistance (either from a provided programme or your own, your heart rate or simply manual) is smooth.I am 1.80m and I find the bike only just large enough - taller and you might be better of with the larger bike. The rower would easily suit a larger person.The app gives a good visual representation of the various workout parameters (I use an iPad) - better than LCD screens. I use both machines with a Wahoo Tickr X - the rower has no built in heart monitor, and those on the bike handlebars are a bit eratic. It can be a bit tricky to connect both the machine and the heart monitor to the app.The app does have some bugs, though none is fatal, eg I could not get the Map to work, History only stores the last week's workouts. Calories are counted very differently in each machine, the bike recording three to four times that of the rower for similar effort - probably related to the energy generated by the flywheel.If you have a problem, customer service is prompt and helpful. The app seems to undergo periodic upgrades which hopefully will see improvements in the future.

Just far too weak for me, I don’t know if I’m just the wrong kind of build for this but it just doesn’t offer anything near the resistance I wanted. Probably my fault but this is not cheap. Some parts came broken (the plastic covers were cracked from transit I assume).

First off let me say that the delivery and packaging were spot on.On opening the box I found two plastic coated cards with tools and clearly marked nuts, bolts and washers. The assembly instructions were clear, easy to follow and straightforward, nothing too challenging on the assembly either simple build and every thing went together without stress.On completion I have a very solid and very stable rowing machine, it has happily coped with with my 6' 4" 18st anatomy with no creaks or groans, the seat glides smoothly and the action seems to be very good and easy.I am unfit but reasonably strong after a couple of minutes on level 3 resistance I could feel it in my arms and legs so I think it will help me to get fitter, and hopefully allow me to strengthen my back. I know its a little pricey but you certainly get what you pay for. We'll see how it goes but very happy at the moment.

Great machine, I connected it to my phone for more programmes and the app allows calories burned etc to be more personal to your height and weight. The machine itself is brilliant and the levels are great no matter what your fitness level , would def recommend

Great machine really sturdy, took a while to put together. Bluetooth not connecting to my iPad but nor end of world..

very good rowing machine, very please, especially as it arrived a week earlier than expected, like the way you can connect to tablet or any other android device. very easy to assemble. would recommend.
