Four ways to make resistance, and they do not feel alike · review
A magnetic rower that publishes its full dimensions and an assembly time of ten minutes, storing upright to save a stated 95 % of its floor space.
The bottom line The rower that is measured, and quick to put together. Full dimensions at 161.5 × 41.5 × 81 cm plus a ten-minute assembly from 80 % pre-built is the most practical pair of claims in this family. The rail length and flywheel mass are still absent, and the user-weight figure is not fully legible in the listing — so it is not reported here.
The fastest assembly claim in this family. The next is twenty minutes, and several are thirty.
On a machine that arrives in a box roughly the size of the machine, that is the difference between rowing on the day it arrives and not.
One hundred and sixty-one and a half by forty-one and a half by eighty-one centimetres.
Only three machines in this family publish a full dimension set, and it is the figure a room needs before anything else. The 95 % storage claim also has something to attach to, which several competitors’ percentage claims do not.
Rail length. Machine length is 161.5 cm; the rail inside it is shorter, and it is the rail that bounds a user’s height.
Flywheel mass, so the smoothness of the stroke is undescribed.
The listing states a maximum user weight and the text is truncated at that point.
This page does not complete a figure it cannot read. The capacity is recorded as published-but-illegible rather than guessed at from the machine’s class.
From 250 € to 300 € across the German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores, on the one reading this page rests on.
The British Amazon catalogue lists the reference with nobody selling behind it.
The American Amazon store returned nothing at all, so the buy button there opens a search rather than an empty page.
These figures are what Keepa returned on the day this page was last written. Stock and prices move without notice.

The maker states ten minutes from 80 % pre-assembled, which is the fastest claim in this family — the next is twenty minutes and several are thirty. On a machine of this size that is a real difference on the day it arrives.
That standing it upright reduces the floor area it occupies by that proportion. The machine’s own footprint is published at 161.5 × 41.5 cm, so the claim can at least be related to a real figure — which several competitors here cannot offer.
The listing states a figure and the text available is truncated at that point, so the page does not carry a number it cannot read in full. That is recorded as it stands rather than completed by inference.
Somebody who wants the machine measured and built the same afternoon

Water resistance, FSC bamboo, 180° fold
A water rower in FSC-certified bamboo that folds through 180°. The resistance is a curve set by effort rather than a ladder set by a dial.
Best for: A living room where the machine has to look like furniture
Air resistance, PM5 monitor, standard legs
An air rower with the PM5 monitor, at roughly five times the price of everything else in this family. The listing is four lines long and says almost nothing.
Best for: Somebody who has already decided on air resistance and the PM5
16/32 levels, 160 kg, folds; warranty stated twice, differently
A folding magnetic rower offered in 16- or 32-level versions at 160 kg — and a listing that gives its warranty as five years in one place and three in another.
Best for: Somebody who wants a choice of resistance ladder and will query the warranty first
