Positives of Concept2 ROWERG

• If you enjoy rowing, then you would not mind the price tag. It is the best rowing machine on Earth that your money can buy. With 94% positive reviews—if you have the money, get this one.
• Be proud that you are using the same equipment as Olympians, and world-famous athletes use.
• It is built like a tank with its powder coated body based on aluminium and steel body.
• The whole rower is only around 32 kgs while being very durable and commercial grade. You can move the rower from one room to another. Or just detach the parts into two and move it around. It is highly portable, even when it looks like a mean machine.
• Overall, assembly is simple to do. Just attach some screws, attach the legs and you are done.
• The functioning and moving and back front on the rail is almost noiseless and very smooth. There are no jerks, rumbles, or grinding at all.
• The handles have some type of rubber coating, so they don’t slip out of your hands. But you might want to wear some gym gloves to avoid some calluses.
• The PM5 system looks old school but works just fine. You can add your own programs or use the preset programs. I would urge you to use the Ergapp to synch your data with the PM5 via Bluetooth. No need of USB drives or fiddling through the screen of PM5.
• While being a sophisticated machine, I used to think the maintenance would be a ton of work. But as per my research, the maintenance seems very simple. Just wipe it clean, oil the chain once a month or two.
• The rowing position is very comfortable, it does not put your low back or upper back tensed.
