Re: Rowing machine recommendation

Noise will not be a problem since it will be living in our cellar. Neither my husband or I are serious rowers, we need another piece of cardio kit and this is our first choice. We don't need anything that a professional rower would need just something decent & worth what we are paying for it.
The problem with rowing machines is that all of the magnetic ones are crap - they do not replicate proper rowing at all. I would never recommend anything other than a C2 or a WaterRower to anyone, whether they were wanting it just for a good cardio workout or for real rowing training, as the others won't last long if used regularly, and will depreciate very fast unlike a Concept 2 which you will probably be able to sell for the same price in 6 months or 1 year's time if you keep it clean and oiled.
