Concept2 Model D Indoor Rowing Machine With PM5

While the Concept2 Model D is quite expensive, reviewers think it’s well worth the investment for serious indoor rowers. As many point out, this is the model most often seen in gyms. “Really, you’re getting a professional gym quality machine,” writes one purchaser. It might not be the most compact option available, but it’s extremely well made and comfortable and will give you a great workout. Another reviewer advises, “If you are sitting there thinking to yourself — I NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT AND GET IN SHAPE — don’t hesitate. Buy this machine. Find 30-60 minutes a day a few times a week and add this movement to your fitness regiment. You will burn fat, up your cardio and chase new PRs all the time. I wish I started rowing YEARS AGO!” If sound is an issue, a third rower says, “This machine rides like a Cadillac. We live in an apartment, and my Mom’s first question was, ‘Won’t the neighbors hear it?’ Answer: No. This machine does not rumble. It is smooth and quiet. The fan is the only source of noise. The seat glides in near silence.” Many reviewers mention first trying out the Concept2 at a gym, including a rowing convert who says, “Well, this thing is my new best friend. I fell in love with it back in 2013 at a CrossFit Gym. My joints don’t hurt from the impact. I don’t feel like I need adult diapers to complete a workout. It’s just the burn in my chest from the workout and the fire in my muscles from the push and pull. YES … THIS … this is MY machine.”

Sunny Health & Fitness SF-RW1205 12 Adjustable Resistance Rowing Machine Rower With Digital Monitor

Reviewers say this rowing machine is a great value, and many actually prefer it to more expensive options because it’s lightweight and compact. “Absolutely blown away by the construction and durability of [this rowing machine],” writes one home rower. “It was easy to put together and does everything the more expensive rowing machines do. I love the fact that it takes so little space to house and the results are great!” A couple chose this machine for working out in their bedroom for similar reasons: “We were looking for both a rowing device and an elliptical for our bedroom. We saw some in a department store that has plenty of them — they were all good and had a number of additional features such as fans, entertainment screens, etc., but they were all VERY bulky. This device, on the other hand has just about half the dimensions of the rowers we saw, costs just a fraction, and works great.” As one reviewer puts it: “This is a great machine. Obviously not as robust as the Concept2, but it’s great if you want a lightweight rowing machine. Great to use while watching TV!”

Concept2 Model E Indoor Rowing Machine PM5

Although the Concept2 Model D rowing machine is our best-rated pick, some prefer the slightly upgraded — but very similar —Model E. One review explains: “I’m so glad that I not only purchased a Concept2, but that I opted to pay the extra cost for the Model E. Since the Model E is elevated to the same level as a regular chair, it’s much easier to get in and out of than the Model D. This is of particular importance if you have any issues with mobility or if you’re elderly. In my case, due to having had back surgery, it was essential that I purchased this model. It’s absolutely worth the extra cost.” Another rower describes choosing between the Concept2’s air-resistance method and the water-resistance method on another model, ultimately going with the Concept2 because “the drawback with water is it can leak and require some maintenance” and the Concept2 is “smooth and much quieter than expected. It doesn’t create any problems in our household.” One person mentions an unexpected benefit of using an air rowing machine: “I love the fan on this as it really keeps you cool while you’re rowing!”

Sunny Health & Fitness SF-RW5515 Magnetic Rowing Machine With LCD Monitor

“This rowing machine is the bee’s knees of home exercise equipment,” writes one reviewer. “I’ve been looking for a way to exercise that takes minimal effort (read: I don’t need to put on a sports bra for this) while getting maximum output (read: sweating like a sinner in church).” According to people who own this rower, one of the main reasons to opt for a magnetic rowing machine is noise reduction. One purchaser praises this machine’s low volume: “My cats hang out with me while I use it, and we all know how easily cats can be startled.” Another home exerciser is similarly struck: “One thing I noticed while in the middle of my short but effective workout was, that I didn’t have to adjust the volume on the TV. This thing is very quiet! I also have an exercise bike and when I use it, I have to crank up the volume on the TV.”

Fitness Reality 1000 Plus Magnetic Rowing Machine with Bluetooth

This rowing machine is very similar to the Sunny Health and Fitness model above. They’re both roughly the same size, magnetic and have built-in LCD screens. One key difference, however, is that this rowing machine from Fitness Reality has Bluetooth functionality and an integrated smartphone app for tracking workouts. “The bluetooth connection and app is wonderful if you’re a gadget type of person who likes to track data and results,” writes one purchaser, and many others chime in to praise the app functionality as well. “Easy bluetooth setup for tracking workouts,” says another, adding that the machine itself is “quiet and reasonably priced.” Many also mention how “quiet” it is during operation — “Quiet enough that I can watch videos while I’m on it,” according to one rower. And it also gets high marks for being easy to fold and store away, which, as one five-star reviewer puts it, is “crucial for apartment living.”
