Sportstech RSX400 Rowing Machine - German Quality Brand -Video Events & Multiplayer App, Heart Rate Belt incl. rowing machine for your home, foldable with 8x magnetoresistance and ball bearing seat

Arrived as promised and as expected. Relatively easy to assemble and appears well up to the task. If I was being picky I would comment that the user manual is confusing and sometimes disjointed. The information relating to the display unit is strangely detached from the rest of the instruction, at the back of the handbook. I would advise future buyers to track down the online version which is a 100% improvement. At the time of writing I haven’t managed to pair up the app with the rower, but that may be user error at this stage. I’ll keep trying.The advertising blurb on the Amazon web page is a little unclear. Batteries (for the display unit) are included and it’s worth noting that you do actually get the heart rate belt included with your unit. Separately that would cost £20-£30 so I’m not sure why they don’t make more of it!Sturdy, fit for purpose and good value for money; recommended.Quick edit a couple of days of use to remark that the app pairing works well. 2 weeks in and still very pleased with the purchase. However, the app is next to useless. Really poor and ineffectual. Surely there must be better out there? I’ve looked and can’t find anything but I’m going to go on searching; the app does no justice to the equipment and frankly I’m probably better off without it.

If you are very limited on space then this is the one for you as it is short and easy to store. The mechanism is smooth and not noisy too. So why am I not very impressed?... Draw length is too short, it is flimsy and cheap feeling, it creaks a lot (so is in fact noisy if you have neighbours), it slides around unless you are on a carpet (even with an exercise mat underneath) and the computer thing that comes with it is useless as is the heart monitor. If you have the space, go for a proper one. If you are tight on space then with a bit of adaption to engineer over its faults it can be the right one for you.

We ordered this rowing machine as it seemed to be the best value for money with some good reviews. Although the machine itself is fantastic and we use it nearly every day, the only issue we have is the screen quality and connectivity. The only App we can find or is suggested is useless. It is named as the one to use in the back of the manual but it can only be used for trampolining and jogging so is useless for rowing. The other issue is that it is in Chinese so cannot be understood by Brits anyway! We have tried countless way to conned our phones to the screen with no luck. A different App has been suggested, which is also useless as in a different language. If we bought another machine I'm not sure we would have gone for this one but saved for a more expensive machine.

The machine itself is great - it was easy enough to assemble, and feels really robust. Only niggles are that the feet squeak on a hardwood floor and the resistance dial is counter-intuitive, so I've occasionally gone the wrong way.Quick update now I've had it for a month -For the feet & dial - a rubber mat fixed one and familiarity the other.It's the first time I've used a rower with magnetic resistance rather than a fan / fly-wheel - very impressed with how smooth it is.

I purchased this with high hopes based on the product description and the higher price for the product, but it is not worth the money. This is not a high quality product, it is no better than significantly cheaper alternatives.The main issues:When the item arrived the main metal frame was bent. I had to bend it back myself in order to get the seat to go on.It is not at all sturdy. When you use it, it rocks and moves all the time.On first use the handle came away from the pulley (just through normal non strenuous use), so the pulley went inside the machine. I had to open the entire machine in order to retrieve the pulley, re-thread it over the mechanism inside and put it back onto the handle. This was not easy at all.The computer on the machine simply does not work at all. The buttons do nothing when pressed, so it is absolutely pointless. The timer and distance just continuously increase, so there is no way to use this to monitor your workout/performance. There are also holes in the back of this for headphones and sensors. These are simply holes, there is no jack for the headphones (not that there is any reason to have headphones on this?) and no sensor of any kind.The resistance on the machine is very low. I am not the strongest person but even I find the highest resistance level quite easy. Anyone looking for a serious workout will struggle to achieve this with this machine.The marketing material shows an iPad sitting on the machine, this would be absolutely impossible whilst using the rower. There is a small shelf to put a tablet/phone, but it offer absolutely no support so if you were to put anything here whilst rowing it would definitely fall off. To highlight this I am having to use a rubber band to keep my mobile phone in place on this holder.Delivery was exceptionally late. It took months to arrive. So the timescales for delivery shown are misleading at best.In all this product is NOT high quality, nor is it worth the money. You would be better buying a cheaper alternative that would offer the same level of quality or spending more.

Arrived very quickly, easy to assemble on my own (if you struggle with some heavy lifting you may need a helping hand). Once it’s set up, it’s really easy to use too. Granted the computer is crap, excuse the language but it really is, I use my iPad connected with Bluetooth with Kinomap (free version although there is a premium version available), there’s a really nice ledge in front of the computer screen so I guess the manufacturers know the computer side of it is rubbish, allows for a phone or tablet to sit in front and be used instead. All in all for the price, this is excellent, does what it says on the tin, just get yourself a decent app and enjoy :)

Das Rudergerät Sportstech RSX400 passt als perfekte Ergänzung zu unserem Laufband Sportstech F37 (auch von InnovaMaxx). Das Rudergerät wurde im nicht montierten Zustand angeliefert. Es war aber trotzdem einfach und schnell montiert, dank der guten Montageanleitung. Das Gerät ist sehr stabil und hat trotz des geringen Gewichtes eine sehr gute Standfestigkeit. Auch das Display mit den notwendigen Leistungsangaben ist gut und übersichtlich. Hier macht das Rudern zu Hause viel Spaß. Wir würden es weiter empfehlen.
