This high grade magnetic rowing machine comes at a great price, which does not cost an arm and a leg. It is jam packed with features, is well made and looks great as well, which makes it a great choice for those who are looking for a great rowing experience, but are not able to afford the higher end models.

Aside from being very solid and well-built, the greatest part exactly this rower is that it uses a magnetic resistance system that provides a great workout without all the noise. If you’re used to a noisy, cheaper model of rower, it can be a bit nerve racking at first, but this rower is virtually silent when it’s being used. This is perfect for those who need a workout without disturbing roommates or family members, and for those who like to watch TV while they are exercising.

Keep reading this review and we will cover why this machine is completely justified with its price tag, and how it is able to compete with rowers like the Model D from Concept2.
