JOROTO MR280PRO Solid Oak Water Resistance Rowing Machine

It’s been fantastic.

This rowing machine has far exceeded my expectations. I love the sound of water with each stroke. The machine is so smooth. I've done "interval training" on it almost every day and my body feels great. Midway through my work day, when I would normally feel tired and groggy, I put in 10 minutes of rowing. The energy boost keeps me alert the rest of the work day. At night I turn off all the lights and go rowing. It is meditative and so good for the body. I absolutely LOVE this machine. I used zip ties to add cushion to the heal area of the foot rests. Sometimes I connect my phone via Bluetooth and sometimes I just row along with a YouTube. I also break form on occasion to work other body parts -- like twisting to alternating sides or using my arms in a position similar to bicep curls. 5+ Stars !!!

I've owned the Joroto 280 Pro for a few months now and am impressed with the overall build quality and ease of use. It's a nice looking and sturdy machine. I'm a beginner rower so the resistance is more than adequate for me and am currently running with the tank half full which gives a good half hour work out rowing quite vigorously.

On the downside I would say the feet straps aren't so good and need to be tightened regularly which disturbs the flow of rowing. Also the foot plate tends to click audibly when rowing which can be annoying.

The digital display is basic and not so great with poor visibility of the data when rowing. I generally don't use it and choose to connect to a separate app to monitor progress. Kinomap is supported out of the box but will only run on android so if you don't want to use your phone or tablet then casting this to a laptop is very poor with lag etc. I've switched to EXR but despite Joroto saying this supports EXR it's not native and just uses the standard Fitness bluetooth protocol. EXR states this is an unsupported rowing machine, it does work but there's no guarantee the stats are accurate which is annoying. I think the information given on app support is a little misleading, hence only three stars but generally I'm impressed with the machine given it's price point.

Maybe Joroto can get onboard with EXR and work with them to get full support for their rowing machines?

Le produit a été livré à la date prévu, dans un emballage solide. Une bonne surprise : le rameur est déjà monté. Il suffisait de mettre de l'eau dans le réservoir et roule ma poule !

Rapidité, qualité tout à été parfait à la prochaine fois 👍
