Body Sculpture BR1000 Compact Hydraulic Rower | 12 Level Adjustable Resistance | Adjustable Incline | Smooth Riding | Track Your Progress

Only just got this, takes a little while to put together but okay if you really read the instructions! Lovely big padded seat, machine itself has adjustable resistance and nice comfy handles. Screen okay to use, but does show calories and time etc which is good. Back leg folds under when 1 screw is removed to lie flat. Nice and streamlined and very easy to use. Very impressed with the speed of delivery and the quality of the item, looks like it could easily be £100++. Definitely would recommend. - top tip, applying 1 of the foam handles is really hard as it sticks, just add a bit of liquid soap to the handle to help it slide along, otherwise you’ll be there a while!!

Easy to assemble. Works fine. I stopped using because it's loud. Also, there's no wire to pull, so you're not getting the arm workout. & it's the right size for my height (5"5), but I don't think taller people would be comfortable.I'd recommend spending more, and getting one with the proper wire bit that you pull. Maybe others wouldn't be quite so loud & clunky too.

This was really easy to assemble and a great price.I'm 5'7" and 10 1/2 st. and a beginner .It's sturdy, not that loud and has a good range of pressures to push you and help give you more overall strength and fitness.I don't have any prior knowledge on the machines and other options but it's great for me. I recommend it.

After a few uses I started to notice that once the cylinder heats up (it gets quite hot, be careful) I was experiencing some resistance when it closed, as if there was a small pocket of air at the bottom of the cylinder, causing the mechanism to 'bounce back' a couple of inches rather than retract all the way. I assumed this was normal (it wasn't), but after a few more uses the mysterious pocket of air gave way and the cylinder started leaking hot oil or lubricant.I emailed sports at home and they were quick to apologise for the faulty cylinder and mailed out a replacement free of charge. It was simple to replace and has been working perfectly for the last 6 months with almost daily use. The only thing I've had to do is spray a little bit of WD40 under the seat once or twice to keep it gilding smoothly. If you're use to the big rowing machines they have at the gym this will probably seem a little flimsy, but don't be deceived, it's a sturdy bit of equipment that does the job. Plus it's easy to store out of sight.There's a little bit of assembly required, but everything is labelled and numbered making it very easy (screwdriver/wrench included!)I've lost almost 70lb using it, and if it wasn't for the faulty cylinder I'd definitely have given it 5 stars!

This was exactly what I wanted - I was tempted to go for the next model up but in fact this does exactly what you want it to do. Although the instructions looked a little scary it was very easy to put together by myself, all the little bags so clearly labelled Step 1, Step 2 etc. with the right tools in there it took me about 20 mins in total. A good tip for those who report getting the rubber handles on the bar - a tiny smear of olive oil on the bar and the slip right on really easily (don't put too much on as they might slip off when using). I was a little scared when I first used it but the resistance was set on the top setting (12) and I thought this would be too hard (it isn't). A fantastic bit of kit for the price, would highly recommend. It won't make you an Olympic rower but it will help tone and get you in shape. Very happy with this purchase. It scans and tells you calories burnt (always disappointing), number of strokes, time and the only thing I wish it showed was distance but that is a tiny issue that does not detract from how good it is overall. Easy to use, uncomplicated and will help you reach your goals.

When I first got this I wasn't impressed, it was packaged with so many parts and screws, it was the last thing I needed, as I'm totally unfit and even getting on this was going to be a challenge. However, I read the helpful instruction guide and luckily the screws and small parts came in individual bags with each step numbered, so that really helped. I managed to put it together correctly in about 30 mins. I'm a female size 10 and my height is 5'3 and it's fine for me and much taller people. I did use on a rug in my lounge with wooden floors, however it moved the rug around, so I definetly recommend usage on carpet with a rug as it can leave dents in the carpet. First use I found it very hard to honest, but although there's not different settings, you can slightly unscrew two screws and it's a bit easier. It did say in the instructions not to screw them too tight, so I then learned why. If unfit like me start with about two minutes and progress daily. I feel it works my legs, arms and upper trapezius which is what I needed. I'm gutted to see its now reduced it price, but even at the price I paid it was worth while. Don't be put off by the many parts, it's suitable for all levels and heights. The sit it padded and quite comfortable. It's not foldable, it's as seen in the picture. Having out beside my bed is good for me as it reminds me to go on it. Over the years I've had many exercise bikes that I never used, but I am using this. I did row many years ago at school though. A great buy! The monitor does tell you various things, however I don't really use that. Highly recommend and attached pictures to hopefully help with assembling
