Cooling Center:
The VR400 features a built in cooling fan. As you pull the center mounted air vent allows air to be forced through the vent and onto you, coolng you off as you workout. The harder you work the harder the air blows. This feature really pays off as you test your limits on this rower.

Bodycraft VR400 Rower Rowing Machine Reviews:
Independent reviewers of the Bodycraft VR100 Rower Rowing Machine:
The BodyCraft VR400 Rower is centered on a sleek aluminum track that complements any workout room. It offers several preset workouts and supports wireless heart rate monitoring.
The seat level is 18”, which is a bit lower than regular desk chair height. Overall this is a large rowing machine that commands a lot of space. It can be folded for compact storage though.
Resistance for the VR400 is generated by a fan — which also cools the rider — and magnetism. The first challenge level uses air or wind resistance only, and the others combine air with eddy current magnetic resistance.
This rower originally cost $1,499 but now sells for $1,299. BodyCraft sells the VR400 with two warranties:
-
The residential warranty protection is lifetime for the frame, five years for parts, one year for wear items and one year of labor.
-
The light commercial warranty (up to five hours/day) provides ten years for the frame, two years for parts, and 90 days for the wear items and labor.
Is this the best rowing machine for your workout room? Here are some factors to consider.
Positives:
-
Monitor: The BodyCraft monitor is a backlit LCD. It has an adjustable arm and can pivot for a perfect view.
-
Data: The monitor fields are: Time, Date, Distance (Meters), Calories, Pulse, Time (500 m), Strokes, Strokes Per Minute, Total Strokes, Watts, Resistance, and Recovery Profile.
-
Program Profiles: The VR400’s most eye-catching program is a motivational boat race. You can also choose from goal programs for distance, time and pulse. A fifth option is manual mode. A recovery program gives a 60-second test for pulse recovery.
-
Energy Saving Mode: To save energy, this plug-in rowing machine powers off after four minutes of inactivity.
-
Comfort: The lightweight aluminum handlebar has an ergonomically correct grip. The seat is contoured and can travel up to 38” from the pedals.
-
Folds: The rowing machine can be folded and wheeled away for compact storage. Its folded dimensions are 43.25″ L x 21.25” W x 69.25″ H.
-
High Seat: The seat height of 18” is comfortable for most trainees to access. Outdoor rowers might prefer a lower profile though.
-
Strong Frame: The seat glides along a strong aluminum beam.
-
High Capacity: The maximum user weight capacity is 350 pounds. That’s the highest of any BodyCraft rowing machine.
-
Warranty: As described above, the residential and light commercial warranties are pretty good. Parts protection is for five years and two years, respectively. We’re only disappointed by the short labor warranty for light commercial customers. It’s just 90 days.
Negatives:
The BodyCraft VR400 Rower uses manual resistance controls, which isn’t everyone’s cup of tea; electronic adjustments like those on the VR500 can be much more convenient. Here are some other possible drawbacks.
Short Labor Warranty: Residential customers get free labor for one year, but light commercial customers only get free repairs for 90 days. That’s not so comforting considering the $1299 price tag.
The BodyCraft VR400 Pro is one below the top model from this interesting brand. But it's sleek looks and impressive build-quality come at a price - and we're divided whether its positive points outscore the negative.
It is definitely a quality machine with some great features and the majority of rowers would be happy to have one in their home.
The rowing position is good. The seat height at 18" has the feel of a commercial machine - the higher the better in our view, but we were a little disappointed with the seat. Yes, it's reasonably comfortable, but it looks like seats you can find on budget machines - we were expecting something a little more befitting the price tag.
The long aluminium beam will suit the taller user with its seat travel of 38". It's also 3" thick which makes for a solid feel and smooth glide.
The footrests are great - over-sized for all feet, and the sturdy straps hold them securely in place. It can be a real pain if your feet slip when working out, but it's something you don't need to worry about with this model.
The adjustable arm to move the display is solid and doesn't shake of move when you're rowing at full tilt!
What prevents the VR400 from becoming a winner in its price range, is the manual resistance level control. The six levels are good for a varied workout, but the knob (see right) really looks out of place on a model costing well over a thousand dollars. For some it won't make much difference, but if you're looking for a machine with heart rate programs that adjust to keep you in the fat-burning zone, this isn't for you - see other recommendations in the 'Also worth a look' section below. But at least the resistance level is connected to the computer to give accurate calorie readings.
The resistance mechanism combines air and magnets meaning it's not quite as noisy as some of the air only rowing machines on the market. When you increase the resistance level, the magnets move closer to the flywheel making it harder to shift.
Once you've finished your workout, the VR400 is very easy and quick to fold. The transport wheels make it light to move, but just be wary of the large footprint even when folded - it's still almost 44 inches long!
