Overview

A magnetic resistance rowing machine with 16 resistance levels, a dual slide rail, and a 350 lb weight capacity, built for home use. It pairs with the MERACH app and Kinomap for guided workouts and ride data.

The dual-rail design is meant to keep the seat stable and prevent the tipping feel some single-rail rowers have, while the magnetic flywheel is built to run quietly enough for shared living spaces. It folds down to a smaller footprint and moves on a built-in base wheel, though assembly and tablet mounting are left to the buyer, since no tablet or phone is included.

  • 16 magnetic resistance levels
  • 350 lb weight capacity
  • Dual slide rail for stability
  • App compatible with MERACH and Kinomap

Who it's for

Fits home users who want a quiet, app-connected rower without dedicated gym space, up to a 6'7" user height and 350 lb capacity. Not aimed at commercial gym use given the home-oriented footprint and assembly.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Quiet magnetic resistance across 16 levels
  • Dual rail adds stability over single-rail rowers
  • Tracks workout data through MERACH or Kinomap apps
  • Space-saving footprint with base wheel for moving
Cons
  • No onboard screen; needs your own phone or tablet
  • Assembly required, around 30 minutes

Performance notes

The magnetic flywheel is what keeps resistance quiet across all 16 levels compared to air rowers, and the dual slide rail is built to add lateral stability during the drive phase. Workout data such as distance, calories and heart rate is tracked through the MERACH or Kinomap apps rather than an onboard screen.
