My physiotherapist advised that I take up rowing exercises along with strenght and stretching exercises for a chronic shoulder injury. I picked up this affordable magnetic rowing machine for my home. I would definitely recommend it and have fone so to my friends and family already. It has been a good addition to my normal fitness routine. Setup was straightforward as it is mostly built. The fold-up design plus transport wheels makes it easy to move and store. The magnetic resistance is fully controllable. It is smooth and very * quietduring operation. I like having multiple resistance levels to ramp intensity on intervals then turn it back diwn for longer, steady rows. The padded seat glides cleanly on the rail and the handle has a comfortable grip. It is sturdy and the adjustable footrests hold trainers securely in position. The machine comes with a simple LCD readout (time, stroke count, calories). Goid functionality riwing machine. It gives me consistent, full-body cardio workout.

I recently bought the Riksion Rowing Machine and honestly, I couldn’t be happier with it. I wanted something sturdy, easy to use at home, and still give me that “gym-quality” workout—and this machine has ticked all the boxes.
Setup was super simple (took me about 20 minutes since it already comes 70% pre-assembled), and I was rowing the same evening. The build feels solid, the seat is comfortable, and the sliding motion is really smooth. The 8 levels of magnetic resistance are perfect—I usually start low for warm-up and then increase when I want to push myself harder.
The Bluetooth console and Kinomap app are a game-changer. I love tracking my progress (time, distance, calories, strokes), and with the app I can row “virtually” outdoors and even join others. It makes the workout so much more fun and keeps me motivated.
Another plus is how practical it is for home use. It’s not overly bulky, has transport wheels so I can easily move it around, and it supports a good range of heights and weights (I’m confident this will suit most people).
Overall, this is a fantastic exercise machine for the price. It feels premium, works quietly, and gives me a full-body workout without taking up too much space. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and enjoyable way to exercise at home.

Solid bit of kit for home cardio that doesn’t sound like a cement mixer on a Sunday morning. The Riksion rower uses magnetic resistance with eight levels, runs on a smooth rail, and has a comfortable seat, an anti-slip handle, and pivoting footrests. It links to Kinomap via Bluetooth, and the LCD shows time, distance, strokes, strokes per minute, calories, and total count. It is rated up to 350 lb, about 159 kg, and suits users roughly from 4 ft 11 in to 6 ft 6 in. There are transport wheels and it doesn’t hog much floor space. Mine arrived mostly part-assembled and is CE marked and EN 957 compliant.
In use it’s pleasantly quiet, so early sessions won’t upset the neighbours or the dog. Resistance is spot on for steady state and tempo work, although stronger rowers may find the top end a touch light after a while. The LCD is easy enough to read in good light, but it isn’t backlit. Bluetooth pairing was straightforward, and Kinomap adds a bit of fun, though synchronisation of the stats is quite basic. The foot straps hold well, but the buckles feel * a bit plasticky. I’m 5 ft 10 in and fit perfectly, and my 6 ft 2 in lad gets full extension without issue.
Overall, it’s a decent build with a smooth stroke, low noise, and sensible features. For home use in England’s finest spare rooms, it earns its floor space and feels fair on both quality and value for money.

I bought the RIKSION Rowing Machine because I wanted something low-impact yet effective for losing weight, and it has exceeded my expectations. The magnetic resistance is incredibly smooth and quiet—perfect for early mornings when I don’t want to wake anyone up. The foldable design is a lifesaver in my small apartment, and it’s sturdy enough to handle my weight without any wobbling (the 350lb capacity is no joke).
The LCD monitor keeps me motivated by tracking time, distance, and calories burned, which makes it easy to set daily goals. In just a few weeks, I’ve already noticed my stamina improving and the numbers on the scale moving in the right direction.
If you’re serious about getting in shape and want a reliable, space-saving rowing machine, this is 100% worth it.

Our teenage son has started taking his fitness serious and over this year we have started to work towards a mini home gym in our garage.
This Riksion rowing machine is the latest addition to the house.
It arrives boxed and needs some assembly, I played the video on here to follow the installation process, pausing at each stage and too around 10 to 15 minutes to install.
Once up and running it has been in daily use, most of the family now * use it, it is a great way to have a whole body workout in a short time.
The machine itself feels solid and sits well once assembled, rowing on it is smooth and feels professionally made.
There is the must have monitor on it too. Once finished with it stores away easily.
