Founded in 1987, Sitamina Products is a well-known fitness equipment manufacturer in the United States, and its products are mainly sold in North America. Although the Sitamina rowing machine is not as rich as Sunny, it has a variety of types, and the price ranges from 1,500 to 5,400 yuan. Among them, the hydraulic Body Trac Glider 1050 and the wind resistance ATS Air Rower 1403 were both selected as the top 10 rowing machine sales list on Amazon in the United States. The wind-resistant ATS Air Rower 1405 was included in Consumer Reports as a recommended item for rowing machines.
The price of Sitamina hydraulic rowing machine is less than 1600 yuan, which is relatively cheap. The wind resistance rowing machine is priced at 2000 to 3000 yuan, and the water resistance rowing machine is priced at 4000 to 4800 yuan, which is more cost-effective. There are many models of magnetoresistive rowing machines, although the price is slightly higher, at 4700 to 5500 yuan, but the practicability of its functions is slightly stronger than other types of products of the brand, and it is more worth buying. On the whole, Sitamina is more affordable than first-tier brands such as Concept 2 and WaterRower, suitable for general public consumption, and its diversified product design performs well in the rowing machine market with serious homogenization.
In addition to the common magnetoresistive rowing machine design on the market, Sitamina's Avari ConverterII Rower, Conversion II and other models incorporate the concept of stationary bicycles to achieve multi-purpose use of one machine. For example, on the basis of the original mobile seat cushion, a backrest design is added, so that the user can sit more comfortably in the process of pulling the rope. In addition, the front end of the equipment is equipped with a pair of foot pedals that can rotate in a circular trajectory, and the seat cushion can be adjusted to the appropriate position, so that you can do the action of recumbent pedaling the exercise bike. When the user is standing in place, lift the rope up and pull it back and forth, and the biceps can be exercised.
The ATS Air Rower 1405, X Air Rower, and ATS Air Rower 1402 are all wind-resistant rowing machines, and their resistance device structure is similar to that of a fan. The monitor can display data such as distance, calorie value, speed, etc., but lacks interactive features such as intelligent software applications.
Sitamina's water-resistant rowing machines are only available in the Elite Wave 1450 and X Water Rower models, which can be connected to a chest strap heart rate sensor. Among them, the design of the X Water Rower is quite rare in the industry, which mounts the water tank under the guide rails, and the front frame that connects the handles so that the weight of the water tank does not have to carry the weight of the water tank, and can be tilted at a certain angle to facilitate the user to read the monitor data. However, since the Sitamina water-resistant rowing machines are all built with a monorail steel frame, they are not as stable as those with a double-track design or a solid wood structure.
Sitamina's hydraulic rowing machines are available in the 1333 Precision Rower and 1205 Precision Rower models, although the base has been reinforced, each paddle has a corresponding hydraulic rod for cushioning, smooth and natural movement, and there is also a space-saving position folding design, but these details have not brought obvious changes in the experience. Compared to Sunny's hydraulic rowing machines, the Sitamina is not a good value for money.
