Great value rower!
Great build quality, and an exceptional value. Easy to assemble, and the parts are well organized. The electronics package is pretty basic, and I question its accuracy regarding split times. Also, note that the rail length might be short for those over 6'2" or 6'3".

Sad and disappointed
After paying for this rower, I also paid $82 for assembly only to realize I won't gain any benefits from using it because it has hardly any resistance:(

    Great machine, good price point
    Love this! It was easy to put together. Did it by myself (small female) in about 20 minutes. The footplate was broken on arrival but went online (suggested over calling) and submitted a request. Rhiannon replied and a new part was on it's way in no time. It does have a tension cord to vary difficulty. You can also adjust water level. I'm a workout addict and pretty fit. It's a great workout for me. So glad I added it to my home gym.

    Excellent machine!!
    Extremely well packaged product, easy to assemble! I did it alone in 20mins (including opening the package) and I'm a small woman. Only complaint is there is no power button on the monitor. You have to take the battery out. Works extremely well. Quiet. Bought this for my daughter who just started rowing to be able to use through the winter.

    Good machine but came in faulty
    The ERG600W came in with a faulty assembly. The system of pullies was not installed correctly and required a dissassembly that was quite tedious/time consuming to fix (took about 2 hours on top of the original assembly). Once that was fixed, the machine was working fine. Will have to comment back for a long term review.

    Been using it every single day since I received it
    Been using this bad boy every single day with no break days since I received it. It's sturdy, smooth, the water sloshing is soothing; The monitor is not very helpful but I pair my workouts with watching shows on my notebook, so it's not really for competition rowing. Highly recommended IF: 1) You are less than 6-feet tall 2) Less than 750 lbs 3) You are looking for casual-high intermediate rowing 4) You are on a budget Otherwise, go with the Concept 2 RowErg | Model D

    The best!
    Love this rower! Much more affordable than Hydrow. It does generate static electricity a bit though, going to order a rubber mat to put under it.

    Terrible Digital Screen
    After receiving this rower as a Christmas present, I was excited to try it out. However, that excitement was short lived. On the first workout, the digital screen performed well accurately tracking my workout. On my second row, the screen began cutting in and out during the workout turning itself off and resetting. Following the advice of previous reviewers, I removed the batteries after each workout to increase battery life. After inserting the batteries for my third workout, the battery compartment immediately started smoking and will no longer turn on. Generally, I like the smooth rowing motion this machine provides. However, if you are looking for a machine that provides feedback on your workout look elsewhere.

    Excellent machine!
    This is a great product that really works. I've use it almost everyday for the last two months and it's really helped built lean muscle and up my cardio. The two negatives that prevent it from being a 5 start. The foot straps have already started falling apart (this is ok because I don't use them anymore) and the screen won't stay on a focused area. I like to know my time at all time.

    Happy, Happy, Happy
    I really like this rowing machine. I did a lot of reviews and I wanted the same brand but a different model but because of the covid-19 it was out of stock and not sure when it would return. Went together quite easily and the fit was great all parts were included the machine work was done well very pleased with the quality. Walmart's price and free home delivery made it a no-brainer. Now it is up to me to use it everyday.

    Awesome smooth water rower for a great price!
    The rower came so fast! I normally work out at Orangetheory and I was looking for a water rower that wouldn't break the bank. Several reviews I found online said that this rower was their top pick under $500 / budget rower category. It honestly feels very similar to the OTF rowers! It was super easy to assemble, with very clear directions and parts. My 13 year old daughter and I did it in about 30 minutes. I still haven't figured out what the display is telling me, but it has a lot of the features you want - time, distance, 500 meter split time etc. I need to look at the book and pay closer attention, but I normally am going for distance or time and I just know how hard I can pull. I don't think there is an off switch for the display, so I imagine I'll have to change the batteries at some point. Regardless, this is an awesome rower and I'm so happy to have it now that I'm doing all my workouts at home! Also, it rolls easily and stands up on its end so it takes very little space to store and super easy to move around.

    I recommend and I'm difficult to please
    Overall, I think this is a high quality product. Comparable to other high end rowers I've used in my group fitness classes. Happy with this product so far!

    Impressed with steel, weight, and overall quality
    Placed order on Monday and received on Thursday! Put it together in no time. Very easy. Wires on display were cut but one call to Xterra customer service (thank you Matthew) and I am told the new one will be here in 2-3 business days. I belonged to Orange Theory and my favorite station was the rowing. I got on the machine and feel the ride is very similar to the Orange Theory rowers. Love the fact that I can stand it up effortlessly when not in use. So far, I am in love!
