PRO-FORM ProForm R600 Rowing Machine

Good rower and digital display info. Unfortunately, 3 weeks after getting it, the pulley came off. An engineer came out 2 weeks later and fixed it. So, be wary, I'm not sure if this is endemic to all rowers. Engineer said the more expensive model has even more problems so this model is relatively OK and is a general design flaw.

Owned for a while. Heres my detailed review: Good value for money but at the cost of a few little design flaws.Pros. Really easy to assemble, folds away with one hand and wheels around, good adjustable resistance, and available for a good.price if you wait. Mine cost just over £200 which compared to a £1000 for a Concept II,unless you're rich or a keen rowereven with the below niggles its a no brainerFirstly, i'm 5'9 normally proportioned build and the seat knocks on the forward stroke if i crunch up for the maximum stroke length. I got around this by moving the forward stops half an inch each, and adjusting the seat plate forward too. Itll probably mean I'll wear theough the runner wheels quicker but for the sake of a fiver i don't care. That being said, it'll easily fit someone uo to 7foot+ as I've got another foot of stroke behind me at full extensionUnlike the Concept II rowers (or a real boat) the distance counter is based on the strokes, not the flywheel/fan: This means it doesn't take into account any glide between strokes (imagine if your boat stopped dead every time you stopped rowing)Would I buy it again - Yes 100%. Compared to almost any magnetic or hydraulic rower i woild.for sure. But if it came down to this or a similarly priced hydro / fan rower I'd have to look at the details
