I solved that problem by wrapping an old belt around the body (see pic), which I could use as a grab bar to lower myself on and lift myself off. At first, I'd either fall the last three inches, hopefully onto the seat, or need some sort of support to get on and off. My main issue is that it, like all the other rowers I've seen, sits too low for someone who (like me) is 76 and 250lbs, with bad knees. We don't put it away, just leave it in place next to the wall, facing the TV. Now that we are used to it, my wife and I use it every day, sometimes multiple times a day. Relatively easy to set up, but be aware that the seat likes to slide to the end of the stops.

I’m not going to worry about it as I am using Apple Fitness for workouts, but it’s still annoying that it doesn’t work correctly. UPDATE: I received the replacement display and it has the exact same issue. Hopefully the new one will work better than the one that came with it. Overall I am happy, especially for the price, but I'm hopeful that it doesn't have constant quality issues in the future.ĮDIT: I spoke to customer service via e-mail, and they are sending me a new display unit.

My hope is that they won't keep coming loose and having this problem going forward, but time will tell. I have tightened the screws in the base (the pre-assembled part, not what I had to put together) and that seems to work for awhile. It is very quiet, however twice after about 20 minutes of usage it has started making a creaking noise. Not a huge deal, but kind of eliminates any value from the display. I have no idea why, and there don't seem to be any settings to change it. So far using it is great, with a few minor issues: the display isn't working right for me.if you just get on and start using the clock will start, but every time I have used it once it gets to around 22 minutes, it just stops. When unpacking, 4 or 5 random loose screws fell out of the box-they weren't part of the assembly package, and I inspected all of the other screw holes and none seemed to be missing, so not sure where they came from so just a little unsettling.

Have had this for about a week and here are my initial thoughts:Īssembly was easy for one person.the only thing that was somewhat difficult was attaching the slide bar to the main section (just awkward holding it in position to get the screws in).
