Spec me a rowing machine.

Ideally not anything huge, as I don't really have anywhere to keep it set up, so would have to store it somewhere after use. If it could be easily dissassembled that would be useful, maybe even something that can fold away?

What's better for resistance? Air, hydraulic, strap or magnetic?

Would something like this be any good: http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Produ...quipment>C$cip=1500011665.Rowing+machines.htm

Don't really want to spend much more than £150. £200 as a max if it's particularly good.


Spec away!

As you can vary the resistance what more do you want.

I don't know, that's why I'm asking.

I'm just not sure of the differences between the resistance types. Is one more likely to wear out, or reduce the resistance over time?

The fan ones look good as I suppose they could keep me cool while I row my way to beefcake city.

Cheers A.N. Looks like the V-Fit's out.

Have you used the one you linked to?

There seems to be next to no reviews on rowing machines, unless someone can link me?


Anyone else got any suggestions? I was looking to get one some time this weekend.


Edit: Distance and calorie stuff don't interest me at all, though I suppose a stroke counter could be useful.
