Not the best, not the worst. Good buy for the Black Friday price.,
Some of the other reviews here are, in my opinion, off base. Let’s face it: we all got this because Amazon offered it on Black Friday at a supposed 66% discount. Anyone who knew what they were doing knew that was too good to be true. That being said, a few things…
1. yes, the LCD is terrible. Hard to see and even harder to use. On the other hand, reading through the manual shows at least some basic functionality, and the HRM works great with a Polar strap.
2. “The plastic looks bad”? Seriously? People are buying a rowing machine based on how it *looks*? Have you ever seen a Concept2? Rowing machines aren’t works of art (shells are). They exist to serve a purpose and most do it well. This one may not win any beauty contests, but if you bought it to display in your living room, well…
3. The slide is NOT 18″. Mine has 36″ easy. I’m 6’4″ and I have to fully extend to hit the back stop and the front stop would be an EXTREMELY close catch.
4. The pull is bit tough, but if you lower the resistance, it glides a bit smoother. There IS some of hard resistance near the end, but I imagine this is to prevent damage.
5.
The bottom line: I’m a big guy and, during my crew years, worked out on the old Concept ergos. This is definitely not one of them, but neither is it as bad as some of the reviews here say. The resistance is a bit funky, but that’s because it’s not a $1,000 machine. However, if you’ve ever rowed on an ergo before and have decent form, this one works fine. Whether it’ll stand the test of time remains to be seen, but if this is parked in a spot in your room and you intend to use it for a 30-45m pull 4-5 days a week, I imagine it’ll hold up. Of course, all this is moot since something tells me Amazon won’t ever be stocking this again. Seems to have been a closeout item in retrospect.
EDIT: After 3 days in a row of rowing (pun intended?), I’m quite pleased with this machine. So much so, that I’m bumping my review up to 4 stars. The slide is smooth, the pull seems fairly consistent, I get a full range of motion, and the fact that it folds up in a corner is excellent. And this thing is oh-so-quiet! Compared to the air resistance ergs, it’s amazing! I can row in an adjoining room after my toddler goes to sleep and keep the music down so I can hear it without waking him up. In fact, after I start breathing hard, my wife says it’s ME that’s gonna wake our son up! Still, the LCD remains a serious weak spot, but seeing as how this didn’t cost me an arm and a leg (leaving all two pairs to row with), I’m quite happy (I think the other reviewers just don’t realize how much a new, quality rowing machine costs).
