Q: Can I use only magnetic resistance?
A: Yes, you can. If you find the magnetic resistance sufficient, you do not need to add water. The machine functions perfectly with just magnetic resistance.
Q: I'm 6'3". Is this rowing machine suitable for my height?
A: Yes, it is. The machine accommodates users up to 6'7" tall.
Q: How often should I change the water?
A: You can change the water every three months, but using water purification tablets is a more convenient option. We provide these tablets with your purchase.
Q: Does this come with a tablet or screen?
A: No, it does not include a screen. The tablet shown in the images is for demonstration purposes only. However, it comes with a rotary electronic display that shows resistance levels and workout time. We highly recommend connecting your own device via Bluetooth to the Merach APP, where you can enjoy scenic rowing, game-based rowing, and 3D map racing.
Q: Is this rower battery-powered or does it need to be plugged in?
A: This rower requires a power outlet to operate.
Q: How many water purification tablets should I use when filling the water tank? How often should I add them?
A: Use one purification tablet when filling the tank. Depending on how frequently you use the rower, add another tablet every 3 to 6 months.
Q: How big of a tablet can the screen holder accommodate?
A: The 950 rowing machine can accommodate tablets up to 11 inches in size.
Q: Can it be stored upright?
A: Yes, it supports both upright storage and folding horizontally for convenient storage.

I absolutely love this rower. It’s well built and looks amazing, plus it works great and is super smooth. Comes fully assembled, all you have to do is unpack it and fill the tank with water. Having both the water and magnetic resistance give you a lot of flexibility in adjusting your workout, comfortable seat, handle, and foot rest. The instructions aren’t written in the best English but it is pretty easy to interpret what they are trying to say. if you are looking for a nice rower that performs well and can easily be stored in the corner or in a closet this is a great deal for the money!
Thank you for your fantastic review! We're thrilled you love the rower and found it easy to assemble and store. We're glad the dual resistance meets your workout needs. We’ve noted your feedback on the instructions and will work to improve. Thanks for recommending us—happy rowing!
I've used the MERACH Rower for about a month when MERACH invited me to review it.
The package arrived 8 days after I ordered it. Despite slight damage to the edges, MERACH assured me of a full refund for any equipment issues. However, upon unpacking, I found the equipment in perfect condition. Assembly was quick; most components were pre-assembled. With their YouTube video, setup took only 15 minutes.
I really like this rowing machine; it has a solid wood feel, excellent tactile sensation, and soothing rowing sound. The folding design is a great feature for me. The drawer-style fold is convenient; my wife can easily use it too.
The MERACH rower also offers electromagnetic resistance, with 1-16 levels of resistance. However, it only serves as auxiliary resistance. When I set it to level 16, I can clearly feel the magnetic resistance kicking in. It increases the resistance threshold, whereas the resistance during the first half of rowing with pure water is relatively low.
After trying out the MERACH app, I'm impressed by the data recording and virtual reality modes. However, the MERACH app still has a long way to go. Nonetheless, I don't have to pay any subscription fees, which reduces my exercise costs.
I've used a Water rower at a friend's house, and it's excellent. But when I saw the MERACH rower for $699 with a 30-day home trial, I wanted to compare them. After using it, the MERACH Rower really left a deep impression on me while also saving me money.
I'm uncertain about its durability under intense rowing, but it seems sturdy so far. I recommend it.
Thank you for your review! We’re delighted your MERACH Rower arrived in great condition and was easy to assemble. It’s fantastic to hear you enjoy the solid wood feel, soothing sound, and folding design. We appreciate your feedback on the app and are glad you found the 30-day trial valuable. Happy rowing—we look forward to hearing more about your experience!
MERACH swiftly handled my order within a day, and the delivery process took approximately five days. Upon receiving the package, I was pleased to find that the packaging remained intact. After carefully unpacking and inspecting the contents, I encountered no issues with the product.
During my usage, I encountered some water spillage while rowing. It later dawned on me that this was due to overfilling the water tank beyond the designated level and not securely sealing the tank lid. Promptly, I reached out to their customer service, receiving a response within a day.
The tactile sensation of the solid hardwood surpassed my expectations, aligning perfectly with my preferences. Considering the features provided, the pricing is notably fair. I am inclined to recommend it. The reason I can only give it four stars is because there is no phone customer service. Email inquiries can be inefficient, especially for complex issues. However, they assured me that they plan to add this service in the future.
Thank you for sharing your experience with the MERACH rowing machine! We’re thrilled the folding design complements your home and that setup was simple. It’s great to hear you enjoyed 30 days of smooth use and appreciated the bonus 9D mini massager. We’re glad you’re loving your workouts—happy rowing!
I discovered MERACH's rowing machine through a Facebook advertisement. Initially, I had been contemplating purchasing a wooden rowing machine and had intended to buy the WaterRower S4. However, the absence of a folding feature in their rowing machines made me hesitant.
Subsequently, when I encountered an advertisement for the MERACH Rower. Intrigued, I proceeded to place an order for one, and I was thoroughly impressed by the simplicity of its folding mechanism - just open the latch, extend the rail, and securely lock it in place.
This rowing machine perfectly complements my home decor. After using it for 30 days without encountering any issues, I decided to keep it. Moreover, MERACH also generously gifted me a 9D mini massager. Overall, it was a good shopping experience.
Thank you for sharing your experience with the MERACH rowing machine! We’re glad the folding feature stood out and fits seamlessly with your home decor. It’s wonderful to hear you’ve had a great 30-day experience and enjoyed the bonus 9D mini massager. We appreciate your feedback and wish you continued enjoyment with your workouts!
As someone new to using rowing machines, I didn't have much knowledge about them. It was only after learning that rowing machines offer low-impact aerobic exercise that I decided to purchase one. However, the prices and features of models exceeding $1000 or $2000 were beyond my budget. After exploring various brands, I was impressed by both the price and features of MERACH's Rower. Upon trying it, I found the quality to be excellent, meeting my expectations. The MERACH app proved to be user-friendly and didn't require any additional subscription fees. While it offered many features, I noticed some shortcomings in content, such as limited outdoor rowing scenarios. Initially, there were discrepancies in data collection between the app and my fitness tracker. However, after reaching out to customer service, they promptly updated the app to resolve the issue.
Thank you for sharing your experience with the MERACH rowing machine! We’re delighted it offers great quality within your budget. It’s wonderful to hear the MERACH app meets your needs and that our customer service team promptly resolved the data collection issues. We appreciate your feedback on outdoor rowing scenarios and will consider it for future updates. Enjoy your workouts!
