5.0 out of 5 stars Good Rower and Great Company I am writing my review about 6 months after purchasing this row machine. I am extremely satisfied with my purchase, but felt compelled to write my belated review only after...

very good machine
This seems to be a very well built machine. The set up was real easy. It took me about 45 minutes to complete the set up.

I had wanted a row machine for a long time having heard alot about its benefits but the original water row machine was way too costly for my tight budget. I know that many people would reccomend paying a higher price and getting the original water row machine, which is great I agree but there is no way I could ever afford the cost. This for me was a lower priced more affordable option to be able to have the water resistance row machine in my home.

From my first go I had no trouble getting correct form and rythm. I loved it. Quiet, smooth, fluid. You need to make sure you keep you keep your back straight and keep it a fluid motion. There are quite a few excellent video's that can show you proper form.

I found this to be the best choice for at home fitness. I have tried them all. Treadmill, tread climber, elliptical, recumbent bike ... none of them were good for me. I am physically disabled, limited stamina, Bad back, bad knees, painful joints and muscles. But I find I am able to use the row machine fairly well since it has low impact on my joints. And I know that even though I can only use it for short periods that it is working more muscles in my body than any other machine. (even the recumbent bike impacted my knee joints) The resistence is based upon your own body and how hard you row, which is exactly what I needed ... that the rowing could reflect the capability of my body from moment to moment rather than pushing my body to do something it cant do or shouldnt do.

As far as I can tell the display is fairly good I cant tell how well it tracks distance (I dont know what measurement is for rowing) but was surprised to find it came with a wireless heart rate transmitter. Which, so long as you wet the sensors before putting it on works very well. I had to test this out by checking my heart rate with a blood pressure cuff and it matched.

The seating is comfortable, and it seems to be good quality for the price. It was still quite a big investment for me but well worth every penny (I was able to get it when Amazon had an extra $200 off the price so that helped) But for the average home user this is a great machine.

Only some small issues, a couple times when I accidentally moved the monitor all the settings went back to Zero. and sometimes the internal resistance system sqeaks when I first start. otherwised I am pleased with it.

And did I say yet ... its ultra quiet and the whoosh of water is very soothing. The reviews here almost led me to NOT buy it but I went along with my gut instinct on it for a chance and am happy that I did.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Purchase This is the first row machine that my husband and I have ever owned. It was fairly simple to put together right out of the box. And very easy to use.

nice machine, had it it for a month.seems like it should last a long time.
computer seems a little on the low budget end, considering what the machine cost.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome exercise equipment The RX-750 is truly awesome! The row machine I intended to purchase was more expensive and at least 5 inches too long (and tall when standing) to fit its designated space.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't go wrong I did not expect such a quality product for ths price. I tried out the original waterrow machine at a local store and have to say that I like the quality of the ProRower better.

Good machine, great price
This is great rowing machine and the price really can’t be beat. It’s solidly built and ergonomic enough.

Having used the NordicTrack Rowing Machine until it wore out – decided to try the H2O ProRower RX-750. Received and set it up without incident – well packed and easy to follow instructions. They even supplied chlorine tablets, tools and if necessary a plastic shim to align the blades. Unlike most computers, this one has a very large display and is easy to use. Filling the tank was a snap, they provided both a funnel and siphon unit.

What a smooth ride – the H20 ProRower is the best IMHO

ProRower H2O RX-750
Rx-750 was delivered way before the estimated delivery time. Very easy to set up and takes less space than would be expected from a rowing machine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Rower, Great Company
I purchased this row machine after looking at numerous other ones. The row machine is stable and well-built. I especially liked that it's full-length unlike some in this price range.

I had two concerns about buying a rowing machine: first that I weigh over the 250 pound limit of most row machines out there, and second that I live in a second story apartment so noise is definitely a factor. I was pleased to find this machine on a good sale, and when it arrived I was able to put it together without much trouble (the instructions weren't the clearest, but it was pretty common sense). After having used it several times now, I can safely say that this row machine put all my worries to rest! It is a very sturdy machine, comfortable and easy to use. And the only noise comes from the blades pushing the water, so it is very relaxing and no complaints from the downstairs neighbors. The monitor is easy to read, and as an added perk, it comes with a heart rate chest strap. I used to enjoy rowing at the gym, and now I am excited to have a quality machine in my own home.

It is quiet easy to use and store. The machine provides a great work out that is easy on the joints.
