Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best Selling in Rowing Machines
This rower was delivered on 12-28-17. I started using it on the 29 of December at a rate of 1000 reps./session each day . Before I started using the rower and during my first time of reaching my goal of 1000 reps. I discovered significant problems . 1) The Owner's manual is poorly written . Whoever wrote the assembly instructions in the manual doesn't know the english language well enough to provide simple and clear directions . You spend much more time trying to understand how many of the words used by the author relate to the assembly of the rower . Poorly Written ! 2) You can not use the Foot Pedals . a)The Foot Pedal Straps can not be used because the hook and loop system for them is dysfunctional . The hook and loop are facing in the same direction on the straps so they can't be secured around each foot as they should be . b)The bottom edge of each Foot Pedal isn't high enough to securely support each foot . 3) The Handlebar Sleeve doesn't securely hold the handlebar so it will move to the left or to the right which makes it impossible to row evenly for each arm . All of these problems can be fixed with very little effort . I wrote multiple letters to the e-bay seller of this rower . I invested about 90 minutes of my time describing each problem . The seller responded almost immediately and I was very optimistic that the owner would help me . My optimism died after my fourth or fifth email. I believe they realised everything I wrote about the rower was true and their last letter to me was a Dear John Letter . The object of this review is to inform the public so they won't get involved in this scam . It's obvious to me that no individual completed a (test run) on this rower before attempting to sell it because they would have discovered the many obstacles I encountered.Read full review
