Verdict
Pros & cons
Der Domyos Training Rower 900 ist ein ausgereiftes Heimrudergerät für Vielnutzer: Die Magnetbremse bleibt mit 56 bis 60 dB leise, 15 elektronische Stufen wechselst du direkt am Griff, und Kinomap regelt den Widerstand selbst. Belastbar ist es bis 150 kg und bis 200 cm Körpergröße. Der Haken: Es ist nicht klappbar, hochkant 2,15 m hoch, und für Leistungsruderer reicht der Widerstand nicht aus.
Pros
- Leise Magnetbremse mit 56 bis 60 dB im normalen Tempo
- 15 elektronische Stufen, direkt über Tasten am Griff verstellbar
- Belastbar bis 150 kg, Schiene laut Hersteller für bis 200 cm
- Kinomap regelt den Widerstand passend zum Streckenprofil selbst
- Hersteller-App E-Connected ohne Abo voll nutzbar
- 5 Jahre Garantie, Ersatzteile 10 Jahre verfügbar
Cons
- Nicht klappbar, hochkant braucht es 2,15 m Raumhöhe
- Widerstand reicht nicht für Leistungsruderer
- Haltearm für Konsole und Tablet lockert sich und muss nachgezogen werden
- Kleine Transportrollen kommen auf dickem Teppich nur mühsam voran
- Watt und Kalorien nur geschätzt, ohne Genauigkeitsklasse
Das SportPlus SP-WR-1800 ist ein Wasserrudergerät aus Eiche mit ruhigem, gleichmäßigem Zug auf stabiler Doppelschiene. Wir halten es für eine ehrliche Empfehlung fürs Wohnzimmer, auch wenn du über 1,90 m groß bist. Der Haken: Das Display ist unbeleuchtet, Watt und Kalorien sind nur geschätzt, und das unbehandelte Holz verträgt keinen Keller. Zusammenklappen lässt es sich nicht, du stellst es hochkant auf 53 x 57 cm.
Pros
- Gleichmäßiger Zug ohne Ruckler durch Wasserwiderstand und Gurtzug
- Doppelte Eichenschiene, auch bei kräftigem Zug kein Wackeln
- Plätschern erreicht in Tests höchstens Zimmerlautstärke
- Hochkant verstaut auf nur 53 x 57 cm Grundfläche
- Bluetooth für Kinomap und MyHomeFIT, Tablethalterung und Brustgurt-Empfang
- Für Körpergrößen bis 200 cm, Schiene 111 cm lang
Cons
- Display ohne Beleuchtung, bei Gegenlicht schlecht lesbar
- Unbehandeltes Holz, ungeeignet für Garage oder feuchten Keller
- Watt und Kalorien nur Schätzwerte der Genauigkeitsklasse C
- Nicht zusammenklappbar, hochkant braucht es 210 cm Raumhöhe
- Fußschnallen fummelig, Pedale für breite Füße häufig zu schmal
