im looking at buying a rowing machine for home. Prices are all over the shop so thinking about £300-350 ahould be a decent enough budget.

After the google seems to be several types, air, magnetic and water. Water seems to be a bit over budget so looking towards the air or magnetic.

and that endeth my knowledge haha

spotted this one,

Spend the money on your car and go for a run instead

There is only one make worth considering, Concept.

All the gyms have them, professional/university rowers use them. They can plug into simulation software on your pc

You need to ask what you want from it.

Rowers are awesome but I literally set to level 10 and then either pick 10mins in one hit or 5 ×2 min with 1 min rest.
it's a very basic rower but it does what I need. has a basic LCD screen with programme options, nothing fancy

Not sure what more you would want from it.

yeah but that price :0

all seriousness i can get a refurned one for about £550

Concept 2 is meant to be the one to go for.

Need make sure you’ve got right technique, otherwise it won’t exercise All you muscles ( as it’s supposed to do )

These things also take up loads of space and weigh loads

No they dont, they are reasonably light, one person can move them. Also they fold up to take minimal space when not in use
