Our Take

The Sunny Health & Fitness SF-RW5623 is an air resistance rowing machine aimed at home users who want a step up from basic magnetic rowers without committing to a commercial-grade price point. The fan-based resistance responds dynamically to your effort, making it a reasonable choice for fitness enthusiasts seeking varied, full-body cardio workouts on a modest budget.

Key Features

Air resistance flywheel that automatically increases resistance as you row harder and faster

Steel frame construction with a weight capacity of approximately 109 kg (240 lbs)

Aluminium slide rail for smooth seat travel during the stroke

Adjustable, pivoting footrests with nylon straps to accommodate different shoe sizes

Padded, contoured seat designed for extended session comfort

Foam-covered handlebar for grip comfort during longer rows

Our Verdict

A sensible starting point for casual rowers who want genuine air resistance without a premium outlay. It suits home users with limited space and moderate fitness goals. If you train seriously, row frequently, or live in a flat with neighbours, the noise levels and basic monitor will likely frustrate you into upgrading sooner than expected.

What We Like

  • Fan resistance feels more natural and engaging than entry-level magnetic alternatives
  • Straightforward assembly with clear instructions — typically under an hour solo
  • Compact footprint when stored upright suits smaller home gym spaces
  • Competitive price point for an air rower, offering good value at this budget tier

Things to Consider

  • The fan generates noticeable noise, making it unsuitable for shared walls or early-morning sessions in flats
  • Monitor is basic and lacks connectivity — no Bluetooth, app integration, or pace tracking
  • Build quality reflects the price; some users report flex in the frame under heavier, more powerful strokes
  • Seat padding may feel insufficient during sessions exceeding 20–30 minutes
