Circuit Fitness AMZ-986RW-BT Rower

First time buying a rower and I had no idea there was so much choice and rubbish out there - I did a lot of research and once I confirmed that I wasn't going to get a Concept 2 D or a Nordic Track within a reasonable timeframe, I actually felt quite relieved to be looking at the more affordable available options...there aren't many that are good. I ultimately chose this based on solid reviews from experts. This site was extremely helpful and not based on filler content or biased promos: https://www.rowingmachine-guide.com/reviews.htmlThis rower actually ranked better than the Nordic Track I was considering, so that was a bonus.It arrived in 48 hours and was pretty straightforward to put together - I did it by myself with my 4 year old disturbing me frequently! On the assembly: there is a piece attached to the front wheels/stand that needs to be removed - might be obvious to most, but it wasn't in the instructions; also, there is an extra block piece that is just for packing - useful for holding up the middle support when you are attaching the beam section (wrong jargon I'm sure, but you get what I mean). The reviewer that mentioned that the middle support doesn't touch the ground is correct - mine doesn't either; in fact, I have to lift it up even more to get the stabliser pin in, it isn't completely aligned. That said, its not a problem at all. All the parts were there and the instructions are fine to follow. The machine is quiet and the no-frills monitor does the job. The Kinoapp is actually pretty cool - if you forgive the search function being a little clunky. I'm loving it so far - will update the review in a few weeks.Great value at this price - have seen on here and other places for $100-250 more, which doesn't make sense. Its a bargain, solid rower at this price...another $100+ and I would hesistate whether I just want to go for NT, bla bla bla. Happy camper here!
