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 WM-SE02 ist ein klappbares Wasserrudergerät mit Buchenholzrahmen, das in Tests ruhig und stabil steht, auch bei kräftigen Zügen. Es taugt für dich, wenn du in der Wohnung locker Ausdauer trainieren willst. Der Haken: ein unbeleuchtetes Display mit wenigen Werten und ein Widerstand, der nur über Tempo und Füllmenge steigt – für harte Intervalle und Kraftsportler reicht das nicht.
Pros
- Buchenholzrahmen steht in Tests ruhig und stabil, auch bei kräftigen Zügen
- Mechanik sehr leise, hörbar ist vor allem das Wasser
- Senkrecht klappbar, belegt hochgestellt nur 44 cm Breite
- Bluetooth für Kinomap und FitShow, Puls per Brustgurt in der App
- Laut Hersteller zu 98 % vormontiert, rund 10 Schrauben
- Vier-Blatt-Paddel sorgt für festen Zug ohne Leerweg
Cons
- Unbeleuchtetes LCD-Display mit kleiner Schrift und wenigen Werten
- Widerstand nur über Füllmenge und Tempo, für Kraftsportler zu gering
- Fußstützen für Schuhgrößen unter 39 bis 40 zu groß
- Transportrollen rutschen auf glatten Böden statt zu rollen
- Schiene für Menschen über 190 cm zu kurz
