purchased this productDo not buy!
The rowing machine comes in 2 packages. Galaxus only delivered the first package. I have contacted the support and only get vague answers. They don't know where the missing package is and do absolutely nothing to remedy thesituation

The perfect device for indoor sports
The best product made in USA, ever
I have been using a Concept 2 rower almost daily for more than 20 years (it was model C at the time). The E model is not much different (except for the handle and computer).
Advantagesof the Concept 2
- Indestructible, can be found in the training rooms of all rowing clubs in the world.
- Reference machine, i.e. all official indoor rowing times are "rowed" on Concept 2 machines.
- Rowing is perfect. Incredibly hard, promotes endurance and is a good basis for strength in combination with weight training
- Rowing machine is weather independent
- Minimal maintenance and wear and tear. I haven't had to replace a single part on my machine, which I've been using for over 20 years (5 -6 times a week)
- Fantastic supply of spare parts. Spare parts are also available for the Model A
- You get a professional machine that is built for use in gyms. Such machines (steppers etc.) cost several times more than the Concept 2.
When set up, the machine needs its space (approx. 2.5m in length). A certain amount of noise should not be a problem (air resistance, but also noise from the rowing movement).
Tip: Once a year there is an indoor rowing championship. New equipment can often be bought cheaply after the championship.Pro
- Unacceptable
- Hard but efficient training

- excellent price / performance ratio
Contra

- Noise rudder movement and air resistance
