This was a very thorough review. I appreciate how much you covered. I would have noticed the same things you mentioned. I especially appreciate the discussion of the resistance and the length of the stroke. I have a longer back and shorter legs, so fitting into a rowing machine is tricky. I've been considering a rowing machine, and this review was very timely. Thanks again.
Thank you for your input Dan but you being a taller guy I would definitely not recommend this rower to you! For me it’s too small and I’m 5-10. They do make other rules however I’ve never put my hands on one so I cannot officially attest to the quality of the product. Thanks for watching. I appreciate all your comments.
Great review! Rowers are great for losing weight. I dropped 30 lbs in 6 weeks in college using a rower 16 minutes/day (mostly fast-food and alcohol weight, but still trimmed up pretty good).
I appreciate the review. I did crew in school and was a bit spoiled with the concept 2s. Thinking about picking up a rower to start getting back in shape. At leat a shape thats a little less round. These processed foods and a lack of a dedicated workout are/is not very friendly on the figure.
How practical do you think it would be to drill some holes into the foot plates so that the lower bolts go through them and hold the plates in a fixed position? Seems like if it would hold up, that could add a pretty nice improvement to this machine.
@@hawkeyeammosmithing I think it’s absolutely doable but I’m sure it voids the warranty. I’ve gotten creative with some of the products I’ve been given to try out. I’ve made some modifications to suit my needs.

What rower do you recommend for a larger guy? Thats not super expensive
Concept rowers are great. Look for a used one on FB market place. You should be able to get them for $400-$500
