Verdict
Pros & cons
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
Das YOSUDA H-187 ist ein solides Einsteigergerät für kleine Wohnungen: Die Magnetbremse mit Gurtzug läuft laut Datenblatt mit 25 dB leise, und die 134 cm lange Schiene reicht bis 200 cm Körpergröße. Nach dem Training klappst du es zusammen und rollst es weg. Der Haken: Geübten reicht der Spitzenwiderstand nicht, und das unbeleuchtete Display zeigt weder Watt noch Puls.
Pros
- 134 cm lange Schiene, laut Datenblatt für Körpergrößen bis 200 cm
- Magnetbremse mit Gurtzug, laut Datenblatt 25 dB im Normaltempo
- Klappbar und auf Transportrollen verschiebbar, verstaut 72,9 x 48,3 x 130 cm
- In Tests gleichmäßiger Lauf auf allen 16 Stufen
- Steht bei kräftigen Zügen ruhig dank Stahlrahmen und breiter Standfüße
- Zu 90 % vormontiert, Aufbau laut Test in rund 20 min
Cons
- Spitzenwiderstand reicht geübten Ruderern nicht, trotz 16 Stufen
- Display ohne Beleuchtung, ohne Watt- und Pulsanzeige
- Kein Bluetooth FTMS, keine Widerstandssteuerung per App
- Belastbarkeit von rund 160 kg nur als Herstellerangabe
- Vereinzelt fehlende Schrauben und schwergängiger Sitz bei Schwestermodellen
