I've been wanting a rowing machine for a long, long time--I have some health challenges, like a formerly broken hip that gives quite a bit of pain when walking, likewise a bone-on-bone knee and an evil upper attachment (sit bone) Achilles tear that resulted in almost a year of eye blinding pain with every movement. I've also had two frozen shoulders. Yeah, I'm a mess--but even old messes need exercise and every time I've used a rower it's felt really good, with no after effects or pain like most other types of exercise equipment give me. I had a little financial windfall so I started researching rowing machines and the Rogue Echo got really high marks across the board for build quality, ease of use and nice features. I love being able to move the rower around by myself (those turf tires are The Bomb!) and being able to fold it up when I need the space. The machine is so solid, so sturdy and every moving part is smooth and works together perfectly. It's honestly so much fun to use that for the first time in years I'm not looking for excuses to miss my workout. After I get done, nothing hurts, none of my joints are screaming at me, I feel like I used to when I was younger and staying in shape was so much easier. Heck, putting it together was simple too--it's obvious that a lot of thought and care went into assembling and labelling the parts section and the instructions and assembly tools are first rate. Usually I'll need to break out my own tool box because the included wrenches and whatnot are flimsy or poorly designed but not here. Every tool is sturdy and works perfectly with the nuts and bolts to put it together so the rower ends up having its very own toolkit in case adjustments are needed down the road. I roped in my teenaged grandkid to help set it up and it took just a few minutes to go from a box of parts to rowing our little butts off. Which is all my roundabout way of saying that if you're looking for the perfect rowing machine, you have found it. Look no further, this is the one--it's even less expensive than its direct competitor, you know, the one every Cross Fit gym in the world has on the floor. The Echo is just better. I'm looking forward to putting many, many miles on this machine.

My husband and I are in our mid 50's and looking for cardio exercise for the bad weather days. We are both loving the rower! A copy of suggestions for the company though .. 1. make the numbers on the resistance adjustment white or something to stand out. We both have trouble seeing it. 2. There was no manual on how to use the display console. We looked it up online, but we are "older" and wound rather have the book. 3. Maybe put a magnet or something to put the clip that keeps the seat from sliding, to be stored somewhere on the machine. To avoid putting it down somewhere and misplacing it. Overall, we are happy with the investment purchase for our health.

Great addition to the gym. Stows nicely when not in use. Get one already.

super recommended Im just in love quality great best in the market I will say better them concept 2

The wife and I were looking for something that would allow us to get as much exercise as possible in our time after work daily. While conducting searches we determined that rowing would fit our needs and help fulfill our fitness goals. After shopping and observing functionality as well as reading reviews for the Rogue we chose it. One week in its been great, the wife loves it. It was easy to put together and delivered within 2 days. It’s comfortable and quite and well built. The monitor is the only draw back because it will connect with IOS it requires other apps that are available but we have Apple fitness. Happy!

Solid build, smooth slide. Will deliver the challenge and satisfaction you are looking for

This is a great quality, no-frills rower that's easy to stow. Smooth action, quality build - no silly subscriptions or annoying additions! The only issues I have is that the noise from the fan drowns out any phone in the phone-holder - and the holder is not big enough to hold an ipad. Ill just put a TV in the garage instead!

Love this rower, feels just like a concept 2 rower but better. Definitely built to last, all premium materials. Assembly was also a piece of cake, will definitely buy again even tho I think this one will last forever.
