My missus used to row quite well and says that the Concept 2 is the only machine worth looking at. Surely there must be half decent knock-offs around now? C2s cost an absolute bomb

Concept 2s are very good. Most Argos specials aren't.
But better than nothing - although as a hater of indoor cardio exercise, I always say get out and run, ride, surf, swim instead.

Agreed.

Concept 2 all the way.

Some crew does a water filled one as well - but more expensive than concept 2s.

Might be cheaper joining a local gym?

Get a second hand Concept2 - going to me much better than any argos job.

Avoid the Reebok ones like the plague.

Yer Missus is right!

I've got a Horizon Fitness Oxford II and am very pleased with it. The computer is basic but it is comfortable to use and gives good resistance. Quality is good and I got mine for £380.

Concept 2's are good if you have £300 to spend an a big room to put it in.

I've got an AR1 (forget the brand) but its half that price and still rated quite highly. Happy with mine

You don't hear that very often on here, but in this case she's right.

Pretty much anything else won't last and will be worthless second hand. If you don't get into rowing, at least you should get most of your money back with a Concept 2

Actually have a concept 2 I want to sell, planning on sticking it on ebay. Less than 2 yrs old and in bloomin good nick. Only getting rid to create more room. PM me if you're interested.

It's a model E with a PM 4 computer. Hardly been used!!!!

You won't be disappointed!

400 quid on a rowing machine??!! You lot are daft.

You could have a boat for less.

This is the one I have... Brilliant compromise between a crappy thing from Argos and a Concept2
