 It lacks for the price June 25, 2008
=PROS=
- Smooth rowing
- Nice Big Display (but not backlit, which can be hard to read in dim lighting)
=CONS=
- Heart Rate Monitor is very uncomfortable. The plastic and band tend to cut into the skin. To my surprise, I discovered my Polar Heart Rate Monitor worked with it, which is 10x more comfortable.
- The foot rest straps usually come undone, when rowing. It can really throw off the workout. To work around this, I bought a pair of cheap tennis shoes and bolted them to the foot rests.
- Unable to save settings. However, since I use it for cardio, it's no big deal. I just set it up, and off I go. It would be the same with any equipment in a gym.
If it wasn't for the heart rate monitor, and the foot rests, I would probably have given it 4 stars.
 Well I'm impressed July 8, 2006

It was easy to put together. It is almost silent. The strap isn't uncomfortable. However not being able to save settings is a hassle. I wish they had spent a little more on the computer chip. However I purchased it for the rowing. It is a solid machine. I am a large, well-muscled person. I don't feel like I'm going to rip the handle from the system. This machine will last me a lifetime. And I love the fact there are other exercises that this machine is designed to do.
UPDATE: I'd take this down to four stars if I could. The user interface is bad. I want to measure distance. It will show distance as you enter an exercise but that's it.
Top quality and quiet! April 6, 2006

This is german engineering showing off. Very nice machine and solid build make it an impressive machine. Just as good as the gym machines and I have used the best Concept 2 machines and am not sure what the hype is about but in my very honest opinion this is just as good if not better. Bigger than I expect too! 5/5!
not that great... March 16, 2005

I just sent mine back. For close to $1,000, I really expected more. The PR states that this machine is nearly silent - well it is not. Also, settings cannot be saved - one has to enter time, age, etc. each session. Also, the heart monitor is a very uncomfortable chest strap which needs to be wet before each use.
I am looking for a better model.
