Our Take
The Dripex MR600 is a magnetic resistance rowing machine aimed at home users wanting a quieter alternative to air or water rowers. It sits in the mid-range segment, offering adjustable resistance levels and a reasonably compact footprint. It's particularly suited to flat-dwellers or those sharing living spaces where noise is a genuine concern.
Key Features
Magnetic resistance system with multiple adjustable levels via a tension dial
LCD monitor displaying time, stroke count, calories, and distance
Padded, adjustable seat designed for extended rowing sessions
Foldable frame that stores upright to save floor space when not in use
Non-slip footplates with adjustable straps to accommodate different shoe sizes
Handle grip with a pull cord mechanism for smooth stroke engagement
Our Verdict
A sensible choice for beginners or occasional home rowers who prioritise quiet operation and compact storage over performance metrics. If you row seriously, train to targets, or want connected fitness features, you'll likely outgrow it quickly and should budget up accordingly.
