I enjoyed everything about the rowing machine. Easy to unpack. Easy to assemble with minimal setup. Ease for storage for daily use. Awesome design and great quality! I’d recommend it everyone.

Super rameur, gain de place, pratique, jolie et confortable sur tout les points.
Facile utilisation,
SAV au top( petit problème avec le bouchon qui a rétréci). Fournis avec la petite pompe de remplissage.
Se déplie et replie facilement.
J’ai hésité avec d’autres rameurs mais je suis très contente de mon achat et je recommande 100%

Hier meine Erfahrungen:
Das Rudergerät ist trotz der Klappfunktion erstaunlich stabil gebaut und man hat beim Training nicht das Gefühl, dass es überhaupt zusammenklappbar ist. Das Holzdesign ist Geschmackssache, aber ich finde es sehr ansprechend und die Verarbeitung ist einfach tadellos. Man merkt sofort, dass die Materialien hochwertig sind und das Gerät lange halten wird.
Da das Gerät fast komplett vormontiert geliefert wird, war der Aufbau sehr einfach. Auch die Anleitung für die letzten Kleinigkeiten war gut verständlich und ich hatte das Gerät in weniger als einer Stunde betriebsbereit.
Das Training selbst ist durch das Wassersystem ein echtes Highlight. Ich habe in der Vergangenheit schon viele Rudergeräte benutzt und bin definitiv jemand, der Wassergeräte bevorzugt. Ich habe das Gefühl, dass diese wesentlich schonender für die Handgelenke sind und ich mir trotz Sport einige unnötige Schmerzen ersparen kann.
Was mir noch aufgefallen ist: Das Gerät ist sehr leise. Nur das Rauschen des Wassers ist zu hören, ansonsten ist alles sehr leise, so dass ich nebenbei Serien auf dem Tablet laufen lassen kann, um mir die Zeit zu vertreiben. Allerdings kann ich deshalb die Bluetooth-Funktion nicht beurteilen, da ich sie nicht benutze…
Der Sitz ist aber bequem, auch bei längeren Trainingseinheiten habe ich keine Probleme.
Alles in allem bin ich sehr zufrieden. Es ist definitiv eine Investition in meine Fitness, die sich lohnt. Ich kann das Rudergerät jedem empfehlen, der ein qualitativ hochwertiges und optisch ansprechendes Trainingsgerät für zu Hause sucht.
Eine Sache sollte man jedoch vor dem Kauf beachten. Das Gerät ist sehr niedrig, was sich für mich wie der Einstieg in ein richtiges Kajak anfühlt. Wer sich jedoch lieber etwas bequemer auf das Sportgerät schwingen möchte, sollte dies gegebenenfalls beim Kauf berücksichtigen.

Surprisingly good quality of construction and appearance, especially considering that it costs $600 (CDN), and a similar WaterRower brand machine starts at $1550 (CDN) and goes up from there. Very easy to construct (took me less than half an hour, including filling the tank). Folds and stores very easily. I was worried it would be too short (I’m 6’1″ or 185cm), but the length is just fine, I never strike the back of the machine.
Only concern would be if you’re an advanced rower, or in exceptionally good fitness. I filled the tank to the max resistance (6/6), and it’s a good workout (I’m in decent health/fitness). As a smaller machine than a WaterRower, it also has a smaller tank/lower resistance level, so if you’re an elite athlete, you might find this machine doesn’t provide enough of a workout. However, the value compared to the top-level machines is absolutely amazing, so if you’re novice-to-intermediate, I would highly recommend.

Ik heb mijn eerste apparaat van hetzelfde merk terug moeten sturen omdat het display niet werkte. Na een hoop gedoe eindelijk om kunnen ruilen, tweede blijkt ook stuk, gaat aan en meteen weer uit. Probleem lijkt al door een eerdere gebruiker opgemerkt te zijn want het apparaat dat ik nu ontvangen heb heeft gebruikerssporen en zelfs beschadigingen. Nu kan dus het hele circus weer van voren af aan beginnen want ik moet zien dat ik op de een of andere manier weer in contact kom met Amazon om deze ook weer om te laten ruilen. Ik ben zeer teleurgesteld in het bedrijf dat deze roeiapparaten levert.

La máquina llego en el tiempo indicado, perfectamente embalada y protegida. Viene totalmente montada solo hubo que colocar el asiento y dos pilas. Se la ve sólida y francamente bonita, aunque solo la he probado unos 15 minutos, funciona ,de momento, estupendamente. El movimiento es silencioso, solo el susurro relajante del agua al ser batida. hay videos en youtube que te indican la forma correcta de utilizarla para evitar posibles lesiones a medio y largo plazo. Si tienes dudas en este aspecto, visualízalos.

This is my first time using a rowing machine so I have no comparison to judge by, but so far I find it makes for a nice, intense but low impact workout. I love the fact that I don’t have to leave home to get in a good workout, and as much as I enjoy a nice walk/jog/run, July is HOT as F**K in Savannah and this machine allows for a comfortable inside workout. It’s also quite a bit easier on my knees than a walk/run workout.
As a 5′ 4″ female it is a bit hard to fold up and unfold, but I like the fact that I can put it out of the way when needed (it is in our guest room). The screen is helpful to see strokes, time on the rower, etc.. however the calorie counter is significantly different than the one I get from my Oura Ring as I am rowing. This morning I rowed for 43 minutes, 1000 stokes (I learned this morning that the counter stops at 999, then resets and starts back at 1) and the machine stated 330 calories burned. By comparison my Ring showed 174 calories. Not a huge deal breaker, but hard to know which is more accurate as my goal is to loose about 10 lbs by Christmas. Today was only my 3rd day using the machine, perhaps I’ll update again in a few months. : )
To fill the water reservoir they include a pump which you are supposed to fill a bucket then pump the water into the machine. I simply used a small kitchen funnel and filled a pitcher and poured the water via the funnel into the tank. Took me about 10 pitchers to get to the min fill line which is where I am starting out for resistance. I will however keep the pump for changing out the water as recommend by Joroto every 3 months.
Rower arrived packaged well, however it is missing the right front wheel so that makes it hard for me to move once folded up. I tried to contact JOROTO support (via Amazon) and the chat wanted to send an entire replacement (!) which seems very wasteful when all I need is a small wheel and its few connecting parts. Based on the parts diagram included (which is very detailed), I need the following. Parts; 86, 43, 90 x 2, and 76. Needless to say I will figure out a way to add a 4th wheel, even if it means I have to replace all 4 to match. This is the reason for the 4 vs. 5 stars.
All in all I would highly recommend this JOROTO MR380 rower!

Hi there! So, I read reviews on multiple rowers prior to this purchase! I had already sustained a knee injury and had surgery. We were entering the time change and I wanted to be able to do a full body workout at home at 0430am. After doing my research, I found the Joroto and made my purchase! It is so easy to put together! I had no issues at all! I have been using it now for several months and I love it! This has now given me a way to do a full body workout in the comfort of my home office! It is so easy to move! I would recommend it if you are seeking a way to have a rower with the sound of the water and do not have much space! My family says even if they do hear me, the sound of the water is peaceful but 99% of the time, they ask me if I was on the rower in the morning because they could not hear it! We have a one level home! Grab this rower if you want ease of building it alone, it was so fast, just a couple of screws to put the seat on, secure it in place, then add the water with the handy pump!Now everyone in my family wants to use it! If you are not sure how to get started, just go to You Tube and find a few workouts, I am sure you will find a few you like!

This rower is made of well finished, solid wood. The plastic and metal bits seem well made and assembled. The handle is a good size and nicely padded and allows good reach. Good, adjustable footplates and straps, very similar to Concept2 plates. Water tank didn’t leak and seems well made. The line pulls and returns smoothly. It folds easily and doesn’t take up much space when folded.
The resistance at max recommended water level seems a bit low to me, but I am not an experienced rower. Filling to the max line takes about 2.75 gallons, which may be why the resistance seems low as I notice other machines take up to 5 gallons.
The machine is substantial, but not too heavy. About 75lbs when filled with water. This is a benefit for moving the unit, but does mean it can shift on the floor depending on how heavy the user is, how vigorously they move, and the type of floor surface. This can be addressed with a floor mat if needed. The wheels are positioned so it is great for folding, but a bit awkward for rolling it around once folded. There is a narrow window you need to tilt it to in order to roll it around smoothly. I am considering replacing the rubber stops that it rests on when folded with caster wheels to make it easier to move.
It comes very near fully assembled. The entire assembly process is basically two steps: Put the seat on the rails and then install the ends tops with two bolts ( hint: The angled end faces the seat). Then you put in the supplied batteries and add water and you are done. It comes with an included water pump. It’s very cheap but works. TIP: The bellow part screws into the body, mine leaked a little until I twisted it down to tighten the connection. The fill hole is also easy to access with a funnel if you prefer to do that.
It’s likely too small for taller people. I have a 30in inseam and at full extension the seat comes within an inch or two from the end stop. I think a 34” inseam person would have trouble, let alone the claimed 39. It also has some of the drawbacks inherent in this type of rower design: Narrow footplates, low seated position, and resistance cannot be adjusted easily.
Instructions are not great. They are fairly well written but lacking in information. For example, it doesn’t say how much water you’ll need or the kind of water to use. There is no mention of the included chlorine tablets at all, how to use them or how/what to buy when they run out.
The manual gives some basic info about the monitor, but literally the only line about the included heart rate chest strap is in the description of the “Pulse” section of the monitor that says to “prepare and wear the included chest strap monitor.” and then a disclaimer that it is not a medical device. There are no instructions on how to wear the strap, and the strap itself is almost entirely unmarked, which makes looking for instructions online difficult. So far I’ve found the strap to be very unreliable, perhaps because I am not using it properly.
The monitor itself is basic. It gives the basic info you need, strokes, time, distance, 500 splits. I think you can set time, distance, stroke goals as well but haven’t played with it much. It is a bit clunky to use and will take some time to figure out, but it also has bluetooth connectivity so you can avoid using it and instead use fitness apps.
The instructions also tell how to connect the monitor to the Kinomap app and that worked well. Unfortunately this is a subscription service and there is no information on using the monitor with any other app or service. The marketing material on amazon says it is an FTMS compatible system so that may help in finding other apps that work.
The monitor itself acts as a phone holder (and the device display shuts off when paired with an app, so you lose nothing by covering it). But the location makes it unsuitable for holding larger devices like a tablet. This is a tradeoff for making it more compact when folded.
Overall I am very happy with this purchase. I ordered it when there were no reviews on the site and I could find almost nothing about the model online. But I have a Joroto spin bike that is well made and the specs seemed good so I took a chance. It also helped that I ordered it around black friday and there was a $150 off coupon on the site so my final price was only three hundred dollars.
