Overview
A spinning flywheel pulls air for resistance on the RowErg, and the harder the rower pulls, the harder it gets. The PM5 monitor reads distance and time, and the frame comes apart for storage and rolls on caster wheels.
A quiet flywheel, adjustable footrests and a wireless monitor cover the training essentials. The seat cushion adds comfort. The limitation is conflicting information about battery or corded power and the length of the warranty.
Who it's for
Home users and small gyms wanting a low-impact, full-body workout with tracked data. Buyers with very limited floor space, or those who need clear power and warranty terms, should check the maker details.
Pros and cons

Performance notes
The flywheel moves air as the rower pulls, so resistance rises with effort and the damper setting changes the feel. The monitor draws power from the spinning flywheel, which extends battery life. Data on distance and time can be sent wirelessly to apps and heart rate devices.
