ProForm 440R Folding Rower with 8 Resistance Levels, 250 Lb. Weight Limit

It's compact not so bulky doesn't take up much room,,, and if you work right you can get an awesome cardio workout which is what I need to bring down my blood pressure and it very well is helping in achieving that... I like it and it works for me...

Definitely would have helped to have a "helper" as doing it by myself was a bit of a pain. It's quite low to the ground, have to be careful getting down to seat (old and out of shape, I am", getting better the more I use it. Hopefully it will "do the job" and I'll start getting in better shape......just need to use it. Go for it, I see no problems with the machine.

PROS came faster than expected, boxed well, took about 30 minutes to put together, and works great. There is plenty of tension on the pull cord, it's really quiet, the seat glides really nice, and it folds for storage when you pull the pin and undo the set screw. CONS the pin to secure the leg in the stored position doesn't fit in the provided slot. However it cams over far enough it won't fall back down, I don't have kid's though maybe use a bungee cord. The other issue is if you don't put the set screw and pin in before use it isn't as stable. To sum up, I'm not a rower and just started with this machine and switched over from a treadmill, I love it, It is smooth quiet and has plenty of tension. I use it on setting 4, it goes to eight. Great machine for the value.

Works great. Bought on clearance for $104. Seat is small and low to the ground for adult male. Other than that, its a good working machine.

I needed something at home to help me increase my stamina and to burn fat calories. The ProForm 440R Rower did the trick. The main thing is that I can exercise at home.

I have always wanted a home rowing machine, and love the workout in my upper body, but does not do much for my legs and abdomen. The machine is actually fun to use, and I am glad I purchased one with an adjustable tension. I am 50 yrs old, and I complete 200 rows during a workout with the tension set on 6 (out of 8 settings-8 being the most difficult)...which seems very comfortable for now. Seat slides freely and easily, and the whole movement is smooth. I am a 5'8" Female and there is plenty of rail left behind the seat when I fully extend my legs. The unit is very quiet, and feels substantial. I didn't like having to assemble the machine, and I had to use 2 wrenches and a screw driver of my own since the tools provided did not allow much leverage. The instructions were easy to follow though and the process took about 45 mins to an hour working alone. The predrilled holes to keep the rail in the upward position for storage did not line up, so when it is folded, the safety hinge pin cannot be inserted thru the holes. This would be too much of a pain to return in hopes that the next unit would be any better....and, I find that leaving it in the 'ready' position motivates me to use it more often.

We found this at Sears but they were completely out of stock on it. We looked everywhere and the only place that could deliver before Christmas was Walmart. I have to say, I HATE going into the actual brick and mortar Walmarts, but everything I've bought from them online has been super fast delivery (even this was 2 days before expected) and good quality. Thanks! Putting it together was a HUGE pain in the butt, and while it does it's job I wish there were more resistance options. It goes to 8 which really isn't that hard to pull. You feel it after a while but not immediately. also the LCD read out isn't clear on 2 of the read outs, it gets jumbled when it scans thru time and calories sometimes. I do not think the calorie read out is very accurate anyway b/c I did it strongly at high resistance for 45 minutes and it said I only burned 70 calories. Um, not possible. That would mean it would be less than 100 for a full hour. I burn 300 raking leaves at least so this should def be more than that. but whatever, who cares as long as my muscles are working. Hard to get too much of a sweat but i suppose it's not meant to be a cardio machine. Great for our basement whose ceilings are too low for a treadmill or elliptical.

A couple of washers were missing that I ended up purchasing at the hardware store and the provided instructions were only in a foreign language which made assembly a bit of a challenge. I should have looked earlier but did find English instructions on the internet after it was assembled. Once assembled, for the price it looks to be a good machine.

Broke within 2 weeks. I was just rowing along and “snap!” The bungee cord literally snapped and there was no more tension. Work out done in less than 3 minutes. I'm just a normal mom with no extra strength to be aggressive on this thing. No reason for it to only last 1.5 weeks

Battery box in the console wire www not even attached I had to makeshift attaching the blk wire with some tape for the console to work As far as resistance the highest level is barely any resistance. Def probably better effective rowers out there.
