Echelon Row-s Connected Rowing Machine

Smooth ride and great classes!

Love the rower. Best workout I have had at home. I would have given it five stars if the resolution was a bit better and I didn't have to plug it in and unplug it from time to time to get the resistance buttons on the handle to connect. Those buttons make this the best rower on the market.

It is a great machine, but my concern is stability as it rocks.

Row works well, smooth operation and comfortable seat. Bluetooth connection is effective. Heart rate monitor option connects properly (most of the time). All-in-all a solid machine. My only gripes (and thus 4 stars instead of 5): The screen is a little heavy for the arm, so will drift down over time until at the lowest spot. Not a big deal, as it can be locked into a couple positions, but the design isn't perfect. Additionally, the recorded "outdoors" rows are reversed (in other words, you get closer to the horizon, instead of further away which is what happens when you row). They're also not 20-30 consecutive minutes, but often are spliced segments. I know, not a big deal, but could easily be resolved, and is more indicative of an "almost really good" product.

Good classes and instructors. Enjoy the variety. The only thing that kept me from giving 5 stars is that the machine can be a little glitchy. We've had to back out of a class a few times and restart because the resistance wasn't working or it will freeze for 10-15 seconds or so in the middle of a class. It's occasional enough it's not a big issue, but it keeps me from giving a fabulous review.
