Sunny Health & Fitness Magnetic Rowing Machine SF-RW5515 Rowing Machine Review

If you plan to crank out daily HIIT workouts then this machine will not hold up well. If you think you’re going to find immersive, interactive programming on this machine, you better be joking (all sunny health and fitness bike my Euphoria fans know the reference, although I made it G-rated). The SF-RW5801 doesn’t have anything close to a touchscreen and instead features a small LCD monitor that displays a few metrics.

With a little midcentury-modern flair, it’s good-looking enough to keep in your living room. When you’re finished using the rowing machine, you can fold it in half. This design makes it easy to store against a wall, but you can also tilt it onto its transport wheels and roll it into another room. We love that the rowing machine comes with a 30-day risk-free home trial and worry-free warranty.

I do like the steel seat rail, because this component will likely stand the test of time well. It is also evident that this piece is high-quality, because I did not experience any shaking while in use. Ever used a Peloton Bike and left a workout with your butt super sore?

The 8 x 2 feet rower is foldable and can be stored upright in a corner of your workout space. We also love that it features a 23.8-inch HD swiveling touchscreen monitor that displays stroke rate, pace, output, and distance metrics. All rowing machines offer some amount of resistance, but the source of this resistance can vary.

If you need to store the rower when not in use, you can fold it and move it with ease, thanks to the built-in transportation wheels. The magnetic rowing machine comes with a large LCD console making it easy to track your total calories, and the time spent on the machine, to help you reach your fitness goals. This model is adjustable, making it easy to accommodate rowers of any height and size, making it easy to share with a partner or friend. The reason this Sunny SF-RE5155 rower sells so so well is that it provides everything a mid-level magnetic rower does but at half the price. Its sturdy, has a  strong resistance system, smooth rowing stroke, and is well built. The monitor might be basic but it’s easy to use and track all the essecial workout data you need.

That said, you don’t need to spend $2,000 on Peloton’s Bike Ultimate Package.
