Verdict

Pros & cons

Das Horizon Fitness Oxford 6 ist ein Magnet-Rudergerät mit Gurtzug, das im Betrieb sehr ruhig läuft und sich ohne Einarbeitung bedienen lässt. Es taugt für dich, wenn du nach Zahlen trainierst und Platz für 210 cm Länge hast. Der Haken: keine offene App-Anbindung, und mehrfach gemeldet werden Schäden an Schiene und Rückholfeder nach längerer Nutzung – bei nur 1 Jahr Garantie.

Pros

  • Magnetbremse und Gurtzug laufen ruhig, Laufruhe wird häufig genannt
  • 20 Stufen per Knopf, schneller Wechsel für Intervalle
  • Konsole zeigt Pace pro 500 m, Watt und Puls, in Höhe und Winkel verstellbar
  • Pulsempfang per Brustgurt für 2 pulsgesteuerte Programme
  • Fußstützen höhenverstellbar, Sitz erleichtert den Aufstieg
  • Programme und Messwerte ohne Abo nutzbar

Cons

  • Schäden an Laufschiene und Rückholfeder nach Jahren mehrfach berichtet
  • Keine offene App-Schnittstelle wie Bluetooth FTMS, keine Tablethalterung
  • Mit 210 cm sehr lang, nur hochkant zu verstauen, nicht klappbar
  • 41 kg schwer, aufgerichtet auf Teppich kippgefährdet
  • Watt und Kalorien nur geschätzt, keine Genauigkeitsklasse angegeben

Das JOROTO MR23 ist ein günstiges Wasserrudergerät, das nur für lockeres Einsteigertraining taugt. Der Zug läuft gleichmäßig, der Sitz ist mit 46 cm angenehm hoch, doch der 14-l-Tank liefert auch voll zu wenig Widerstand. Dazu kommen ein schlichter Computer ohne Puls, wenig Halt an den Fußstützen und ein Tankstopfen, der nach Monaten häufig undicht wird. Kaufen solltest du es nur, wenn du diese Abstriche bewusst in Kauf nimmst.

Pros

  • Gleichmäßiger Zug und leiser, ruckelfreier Sitzrücklauf
  • Sitzhöhe von 46 cm erleichtert Hinsetzen und Aufstehen
  • Steht mit 26 kg Eigengewicht beim Rudern stabil
  • Lässt sich hochkant auf rund 44,5 x 67 cm verstauen
  • Sendet Daten per Bluetooth FTMS an Kinomap

Cons

  • Widerstand bleibt mit 14 l Tank auch bei voller Füllung niedrig
  • Gummistopfen am Tank wird mehrfach nach Monaten spröde und undicht
  • Computer ohne Puls, Watt, Splitzeit und Beleuchtung
  • Fußstützen aus Hartplastik geben bei kräftigen Zügen wenig Halt
  • Schiene von 73,2 cm wird für sehr große Menschen knapp
