Part 3: Pros and Cons to Note

Pros you will Like:

• The first good thing to know here is the fact that it is ROHS CE compliant to ensure the best possible results at all times
• The belt driven feature gives you a lower level of noise and a really smooth rowing action that you will thoroughly enjoy. It can almost replicate the simulation of actual rowing.
• The tensions levels are easy to navigate through and they provide a great range of different levels of difficulty to suit the level of fitness you have.
• The handlebars have a good level of padding which are comfortable to use, and the footplates are adjustable which provide plenty of room for movement.
• Another thing we really liked is how easy it is to fold away after use and of course it is ideal for people who have limited storage spaces available.
• Unlike many other rowing machines that can cost well over £500, this rowing machine from JLL offers a much more attractive price point and is sometimes seen on sale for less than £200 which is great value for the amount of money you need to spend.
• It is backed with a 12 month warranty so at least your investment is protected well ahead into the future.

Cons to be weary of:

• There is no loud speakers, app or MP3 connectivity which will be very significant for people who prefer to listen to music or their tablet while they train.
• There are also no heart rate pulse sensors available which we have seen available on other higher spec rowing machines
• Even though the screen has 7 functions, it is still quite small in our opinion and could offer more in terms of tracking and keeping you motivated.
• There is generally a 12 month warranty offered by this rowing which is not all that bad to be fair but there are longer warranties available from other higher spec premium brands in this sector.
• Some of the lower resistance settings seem to offer very little and would nearly be considered a waste of time.
• The saddle is quite good, but you may need to add in a small cushion for extra comfort on those longer rowing workout sessions
• The tracking on the console computer can be a little off at times from what we see, especially when it comes to calorie counting

Part 4: Our Conclusion

Is this the best Rowing machine we have ever used? Definitely no but to be fair, it does offer great value for the amount of money that is required to fund the cost of it. It lacks premium features seen on other brands and the frame and fittings seem a little flimsy but again thankfully it is matched with the lower price tag. Personally, I am not in a position to pay over £500 for a rowing machine and I also cannot afford the price of a Concept 2 rowing machine so this lower priced rowing machine from JLL fits the bill just perfectly in my opinion. Therefore, we would have no issue in recommending this rowing machine to everyone and the fact that there is a UK customer support team and a 12 month warranty is a nice bonus to have.

Furthermore, it gives better peace of mind when you are buying from a recognised brand in the sector that prides itself on customer satisfaction instead of buying some lower priced brand that you never heard of before. If you need to look at getting a low impact exercise machine at a relatively low cost, then you don’t have to look much further than this.
