R310 Home Rowing Machine-Folding with 10 Level Inner Magnetic Adjustable Resistance-Advanced Ultra Quiet Driving Belt- Indoor Fitness Rower

I've only had this for a couple of days, but overall it's been a great buy. It arrived on time, well packed. Instructions are quite minimal but I put it together in about 20 minutes after a couple of minor mistakes. The track is long enough for me to straighten my legs when rowing - something I was concerned about being 6'2", but there is still another 6-8cm of space to slide back further. The resistance seems quite light and I've turned it straight up to 8-10, but it's enough to give me a good workout.I realise now why the Concept 2 rower is about 2.4m long and this is 1.81m. This has a shorter length of stroke, pulling from about level with your toes, rather than being able to reach way past your toes as you might with a much bigger machine. While a longer stroke would be nice, this is plenty to get some good cardio at home and since I have neither the money or space for a bigger machine, I'm very happy with the compromise.There is a quiet noise of the runners rolling back and forth on the track, but not enough to disturb others, or stop you listening to something while working out, and the cable resistance is virtually silent.I haven't quite worked out the display yet, but it works and gives time, distance, strokes and calories, and is quite easy to read.I can't comment on how it lasts, but it seems sturdy and well built. It folds up quite nicely for storage.Overall it seems like a great balance of cost, size, quality and function.

I wanted a machine that would kick start an exercise plan in retirement and so far this has been a great choice. Good range of resistance and I’m quickly building up stamina. As it easily folds up it doesn’t take over the room

Decent for the money, easy to construct and reasonable resistance - recommend

I have had an XS Sports R310 Home Rowing Machine-Folding with Magnetic Adjustable Resistance-Fitness Rower for at least 19 months. Prior to buying the XS rowing machine I had 2 other rowing machines from another brand. Both of my earlier rowing machines broke before they were 18 months old. My XS rowing machine has been superb. I regularly do a 1000 strokes on the No.7 setting on the dial, which has a maximum of 10 settings, within 30 minutes. I do that usually about 3 times a week. In 2015 my heart consultant recommended that I get a rowing machine because it is the only thing that exercises every muscle in the body. I must admit that I also purchased two gel cushions to place over the seat provided because the seat was quite hard and I am in my 66th year. The XS rowing machine was very easy to assemble. The build quality is such that it is very sturdy. And the facility to fold the seat carriageway upwards was very important, so that the rowing machine could be folded and stored in a reasonably compact floor space. I would thoroughly recommend to anyone who is looking to buy a rowing machine that you look no further and order the XS Sports R310 Home Rowing Machine-Folding with Magnetic Adjustable Resistance-Fitness Rower. I feel sure that you will not be disappointed. The magnet on the XS rowing machine was very different from my 2 earlier rowing machines. And the only maintenance I have had to do since purchasing the XS rowing machine was to tighten 2 screws that had become loose this week, in the middle of April 2021 19 months after my purchase.

The parts list is very long, and it's worth going through it carefully to be sure you have identified all the parts - we were impressed to find that they were all present and correct. The instructions are pretty clear - but again, our experience is that it's a good idea to read them more than once before you start the assembly.And then it was straightforward. No tools are needed other than the three supplied as part of the package. We were very impressed by this, and by the solidity of the resulting structure.So far it works well, and is just what we wanted - comparatively light, and easy to fold up.An excellent purchase at a reasonable price. We still haven't found how to change the battery, but that won't be necessary for ages, I hope!

For me, this is a great machine at a very reasonable price, it was very easy to put together, but the instructions are pretty rubbish, just used common sense, it does help to have two of you at some parts, but I did most of it myself. The display is very clear, and the resistance is enough for me, I'm just using it as a keep fit tool, I'm not sure if your a serious rower it would do the job, but great for general fitness. Very quiet when being used, which is a bonus.

Easy to assemble, great equipment

Real pain to put together, instructions not good at all. No manual whatsoever for the computer. However I sussed computer out myself. However after very limited use and having less than one month computer decided not to function properly. Wouldn't record time, distance etc properly. Tried changing batteries, unplugged, checked connections. Still faulty. Rang Amazon, after being passed to third customer Rep. told couldn't get spare computer part just to change over but could return item. Which of course would mean stripping it all apart and then impossible task of trying to re box! Thought after the hassle and stress just keep the thing and use clock for time and have no functioning computer. So certainly would not recommend this to anyone.
