Not looking to spend a fortune on one. I saw Walmart had one for around 250 but not sure on how much quality really depends on these things

Quality matters big time on this. I highly suggest the concept c2 with xebex not too far behind.

I love my concept 2. Maybe more than you want to spend but worth it.

I wouldn’t get anything other than a Concept 2. Hard to find right now. I would get on a waitlist for one.

If you aren't competing in crossfit, the xebex is just as good. The concept is better for community and has a little better monitor but the xebex is built better.

I would still by the c2, but xebex is a very good alternative.

agree with all of the above. I bought the xebex and it works great for my home gym, I use it 4-6 times a week. And recommend it for that. Note Get Rxed sells them at a discount around Black Friday. That is when I bought mine.

Agree with all of the above. I was able to score a used Concept 2 about 3 years ago and definitely do not regret it. Might be more difficult to find a decently priced used one now though, ya know - covid. My buddy has a water rower, and I would 100% get concept 2 over that thing.

Im sure everyone will tell you to buy the Concept, but I have one like this and I have zero complaints. I didn't want to spend a bunch on one, but Ive had no issues with it and it didnt break the bank.

My old gym had a water rower. It was just awful.

When you can find a used one, they're nearly as expensive as a brand new one. I finally sprung for a new model and no ragrets.

Bought a concept 2 for the house. Found it used on FB marketplace about 6 weeks ago for $700. I wanted to buy a different name brand but I’ve used the C2 before and am just spoiled. I’d hold out until you can find a used one or get on the waitlist. Will cost you 1021.58 to get a new one shipped to your door, FYI

Anyone familiar with the Hydrow? I find that classes on my peleton keep my engaged so I'd love to have that for a rowing machine as well. I wish they had rowing classes on the peleton app because then I could pair that with one of the other suggested machines.
