JOROTO Rowing Machine for Home Gym, Oak Wood Foldable Rower Machine 350 lbs Weight Capacity with Bluetooth and Adjustable Tablet Holder (MR380) combines elegant oak craftsmanship with advanced water resistance technology. With its 28 L tank, smart monitoring, and compact foldable design, this rower is built for users who want a professional, realistic rowing experience at home.
28 L Water Resistance Tank for Realistic Training
Unlike magnetic rowers, the MR380 uses a 28 L water tank with six water level indicators, providing an authentic, dynamic rowing feel. The harder you pull, the greater the resistance. With its high-capacity tank, this machine offers a wider resistance range, giving both beginners and advanced athletes challenging full-body workouts.
FSC-Certified Oak Wood Construction
Made from FSC-certified solid oak, the MR380 showcases natural wood grain while ensuring sustainability through responsible sourcing. Its premium frame provides exceptional stability and supports users up to 158 kg (350 lbs). With an adjustable rail length, it accommodates heights from 47″ (119 cm) to 83″ (210 cm), making it ideal for the whole family.
Smart Monitoring with Bluetooth Connectivity
The large LCD display tracks key data, including:
Time
Distance
Strokes
Calories burned
Watts
Stroke rate
Heart rate
With Bluetooth pairing, the rower connects to fitness apps like Kinomap, unlocking interactive scenic routes, global competitions, and online challenges. This makes every session more motivating and rewarding.
Foldable Upright Storage
Thanks to its 180° foldable design, the MR380 can be stored upright in compact spaces. Folded dimensions are 51 x 64 x 102 cm, making it suitable for apartments and smaller home gyms. Patented sealing technology means the tank does not need draining and won’t leak when stored vertically.
Ergonomic and User-Focused Design
The MR380 includes a tablet holder, letting you watch shows, listen to music, or follow virtual workouts while rowing. Its ergonomic seat with PU rollers glides smoothly and quietly, reducing fatigue during long sessions. Adjustable footrests with straps ensure safety and comfort for every stroke.
Fast Assembly and One-Package Delivery
Delivered in a single box and 90% pre-assembled, you only need to attach the seat before starting. This simple setup means you’ll be rowing within minutes of delivery.
