Bought this rowing machine during the Amazon Prime sales.
Seems like a Concept2 dupe, but made of heavier materials. Much heavier than a Concept2, so some heft to it. But this has a handle and wheels to move around. Compared to dismantling the concept2 rail and moving that in two-pieces.
This has a lever to fold on itself to transport and make smaller. While the Concept2 you remove the rail and put away as two parts.
This has a fabric chain belt instead of a metal chain one l
of the Concept2. I have no idea if that is a significant difference. I do know you need to oil the metal chain of the Concept2 at some later on point.
My only complaint is that the screen with your Rowing statistics. It is made to be so damn low contrast. Easy to see read on my camera picture, because the camera adjusts the shutter speed. But it is hard on the eyes, in practice.
Do not worry about the red lever for adjusting the pull-strength. It does not get in the way. I have no accidentally hit it. Only a worry on the back of the mind, but it never got hit even once.
Noise is about the same level of a Concept2. Will not be heard outside of the room it is left inside. Only the people in the same room will hear the air whirl.
I am very satisfied with this device. Buy with confidence! Great value, especially during sales!
