Love the actual machine. But every time I turn it on and open the app to connect to it, I get an error, and requires rebooting of my rower or the app to fix. Usually one reboot is enough to fix this, but you'd hope for a more seamless experience given how important the tablet/phone is to the rowing experience on this machine.

The rower is really good. It's quality construction and smooth operation. It's a great workout. The online classes are good but I can't play them with consistency. They stop a few minutes into the workout and never restart. I have no problem playing other content and streaming video so it's something with the echelon app and content. Gets frustrating when you are paying so much for the app every month and it's crummy. You also find that all the rowing videos are tagged as cycle.

I love the Echelon Rower and has been a great companion for my Echelon Bike. The ability to utilize the Rower for a total body workout is tremendous. The Rower is smooth and easy to assemble and the classes both live and on demand are challenging pushing you to the next level.

The product is sturdy, and I was able to put it together myself. The weight was a problem because I live on the second floor. If I did not lug it up the steps my only other option would have been to leave it out in the rain. It wasn't hard to put together. Overall the product is good. My main problems have been with connection issues (switching between using the bike and row with the app and it connecting to the one after the other. What is worse is the resistance buttons dont always work! I can push and push and push and it doenst move. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. It probably 50/50 on working and not. It is very frustrating when you are in the middle of a work out and are stuck on one resistance!! It is, in my opinion the biggest flaw, second would be the connection issue.

I purchased my first rower in November. It has been a nice way to rest my body from weight training and from the spin bike. I love the variety of the available classes and many different instructors. There is something for everyone. A seasoned rower or a novice like myself. I can't wait to see what echelon has in the pipeline for this format.

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.

I can't believe that I waited so long to add the rower to my home gym! It is the perfect compliment to my bike and FitPass workouts, and I've noticed a difference in my other workouts because of the strength I'm building with the rower. If you've been on the fence on whether or not to get the rower, please do yourself a favor and bite the bullet.

As for the rower itself, I would give it a 5 star rating... super high quality construction with an exceptional design. Overall it operates flawlessly, has excellent adjustments to resistence. My only reason for providing a 4 star rating is due to the app and the limited live training sessions that are available today... Hoping to see this expanded to more times and a larger variety of trainers....

I love my rower!!!!! I am on it daily and get this tremendous row in every morning. I do this whether I am in a class or doing a free row following along one the many rivers that are "On Demand". I look forward to seeing Echelon add more rivers/lakes to row on!

The machine is fantastic so far. Love how it feels, how quiet it is. One thing that has caused by husband some problems is the placement of the increase/decrease buttons as he has to be careful not to inadvertently adjust them when he pulls back. The classes have been good. I like the instructors but the music (which I consider a big part of a workout class) leaves a lot to be desired. The other thing we are really not happy with is the app. It needs a lot of work. The filters do not work. Again, I want to be able to select a class based on music genre, which I cannot do presently.
