Just got my rowing machine yesterday, so may update later. It came in two boxes that I had no problem carrying in. I put it together with the “help” of my seven and five year olds and it didn’t require any additional tools. Filling the tank was very simple thanks to the little electric pump that came with. I rolled the machine over near the bathroom, filled the sink with water and kept it running while the pump worked. I’ve used it twice and it’s a really great workout so far. I filled the tank to 14 so that I can get used to it

Like other reviewers, I was hesitant to purchase due to so few reviews but I'm glad I did! Mr. Captain is SOLID. There is almost something calming about the sound of the water too. It's a beautiful rower, very much worth the money.
There was a review about the foot placement needing a screwdriver to adjust for different size feet, this is not true, there is a button in the middle of both foot brackets that you press down which allows the foot holders to move up and down in adjustment.

I bought this to work out on since I’m stuck at home like everyone else. It was easy to assemble, and the directions were clear. I bought an iPad mount on amazon to hold my iPad. It’s running an app called BitGym that uses the camera to see how you are moving, and then show a scene of rowing on a lake. It’s really cool. Also the rower is classy looking and blends in nicely in the house. Also it being able to fold up vertically is nice to stow it away.
