2 Unisex Adult Model E Indoor Rower - Black, Standard Size

Concept 2 is a great rowing machine, but I am very disappointed to have purchased a Concept 2 Model E, and received a Concept 2 Model D instead.

Im 604 and was concerned about how these machines would fit me till I found this model reviewed on youtube by someone who is 605. The machine was simple to put together thanks to the youtube video and so far it works awesome. It is very smooth and would easily fit someone who is 606. Some complaints I read about the hard seat...it is a little hard but I don't seam to have any issues with it and you can put padding on it if needed. I did have a minor issue with assembly, 2 screw holes did not line up quite right so I took the provided screwdriver and wiggled it in the holes to widen them out a bit and it worked, The screen display is real nice and easy to use. It does take up a lot of room but that is to be expected with any row machine. I have no regrets purchasing it and look forward to using it several times a week to. I would definitely recommend this. Just 3 minutes and I really feel the workout. I have a treadmill, helix machine and elliptical, all great high quality machines that provide great workouts but I can say that this row machine kicks my but much more in a shorter time than the other machines.

Like the other reviews that you've probably read... this really is the Rolls of the rowers. Look online at rower events and at every college that has a rowing team, as well as those professional teams, and you will see the Concept models. It is so well engineered and perfectly machined. From the smooth welds to the final trim pieces, this rower will last more than a lifetime. Parts "if ever needed", are readily available. They even provide you the correct sized full length torx driver to ensure that you drive the screws properly. Yes, you will pay a bit more for these Concept units, but you will never find a better built and backed unit than this. You won't ever be able to compare the junk at the box stores to the Concept rower...Period! Trust me, I've compared. There is only a German made model that comes close to this. That's it. Do yourself a favor, stop wasting your time trying to compare this with other mfg models. Spend the extra money and reward yourself with unmatched quality that you can enjoy for years to come. You can read the in's and out's through other reviews. I just want to convey what you're really paying for with this rower. Its quality is really that good. Just think: a company that produces a product that they want you to only buy once and for it to last for YEARS and YEARS!!! When yo get this rower, find a YouTube video and slowly learn the correct rowing posture and technique. Don't just think You know how to row. Ease into the skill and your experience will reward you with a great workout, without joint stress or back pain. As you quickly master the feel, your rowing strength and stamina will easily increase. At first, 500 meters will seem far, but you'll soon be cruising past 2000 meters with ease. If you truly want a fantastic rowing experience, this is your rower! Do it!!! Get this Concept rower in your home TODAY. You need to checkout the online rowing events and rowing forums too.

Great for fitness. easy way to lose calories in the shortest time (easier to row for 15 minutes than hike for 40 minutes to lose the same amount of calories). One part didn't go together properly, the company sent a replacement part immediately. Brilliant customer service

I'm no expert on rowing machines but considering the cost I had to do my homework before making a decision as to what one to purchase. I looked at cheaper and even one feature of a TV show that I was seriously considering that had the hydro system and was made of wood. In the end I believed that this one was the better choice. First, the Elites extra height is well worth the extra cost. The next thing on my mind was, air or water. The drawback with water is it can leak and require some maintenance. My concern with noise had me wondering which one would be the winner. I don't own that other water rower but I can say this one is smooth and much quieter than expected and doesn't creat any problems in our household. I was concern about wood wearing or being made from wood stock that was not as strong or straight (warping from new growth wood) but since this rower is metal I have nothing to worry about there. The next thing that concern me was the difference in material that was used in the pulley system, one was made from synthetic webbing which could have been nylon to polyester which is the stronger. This rower uses a chain and is much heavier duty. In the TV show as the frustrated character rows really hard the strap breaks. I don't believe that will happen with this rowers chain and maybe that is why you don't see wooden rowers in gyms. The assembly was easy and you can find the right video on their site to do what you need, even disassembling it, something you might want to do when moving. This rower separates into two long sections for storage but I wouldn't want to be doing that too often, maybe during a holiday. The reason is this rower is big and when they say to allocate 9 feet for length, believe them. You can get away with less in the width in my opinion. Because of the length I had few places to set it up, the garage was out of the question. This is too good a machine for that and besides things tend to be forgotten more when out of site. In the end I had only one place that made sense but which most people would not consider, my living room. I had a person come in and remark about the size and probably hold his tongue until he got home about having it where I put it but that doesn't bother me since I am not spending this much money for a piece of furniture. The goal for me is health and being able to control my sugar and muscle levels better as I grow older. I have used other exercise equipment before but this is the best for me because it gets use almost daily by me and other family members. After using for six months now I can honestly say I look forward to it and haven't felt better. My body is thanking me everyday and the only regrets is not purchasing one much earlier in my life. I use this as a supplement to bicycling which doesn't exercise many of my muscles and because it rains much where I live. In this way I am able to keep up exercising no matter what the weather is. I work from home and getting some form of exercise whiteout having to leave house is what works for me. Yes it was an investment but considering the cost of not exercising and the effects it has on your heath, I would do it again and again, if I had to.

This is a 5 star product. Beautiful to use and to look at. I like the 'high off the ground' architecture as it is easier to get onn and off without the low-down architecture of all the others. The settings are simple to use, and not over-complicated. The rowing 'Oar is comfortable. Highly Recommended.
