Rowing Machines Buying Help

Once you have decided to purchase a rowing machine, there are a number of factors that have to be considered before you are ready to make your purchase. You still have to decide what type of rowing machine to buy, how much you want to spend, and even choose between models which are similar but have different features to choose from.

Perhaps the best place to start is with rowing machine ratings, which will categorize rowing machines based on a number of factors. Machines that rank really well in some areas may do poorly in others and some models are more about the workout without offering much in the way of computer innovation to help you make the most of your purchase. Customer ratings of rowing machines narrow these fields down, and allow you to concentrate on only three or four leading brands.

And if you are looking for a cheap rower, you will have to narrow the choice even farther. Surprisingly there is more than a $1000 price range for rowing machines, ranging from only a little over $100 to well over a grand. By comparing ratings and features, you can still get an affordable rowing machine, even though you probably can't get one with the latest computer equipment or built to handle the grueling usage of a commercial fitness center.

A compact rowing machine is going to be less expensive, and it will probably use Hydraulic piston resistance which gives nearly infinite resistance potential but is lightweight and easy to maneuver. If you were to look in a rowing machine buyers' guide, the least expensive models will almost always be small and portable enough to take anywhere, even on the road.

What are the top brands of rowing machines? Not surprisingly, two of the top three are also well known for other fitness products such as exercise bikes. Kettler and Stamina take two of the top honors, leaving the innovative designs of Concept 2 to hold the third position. All three companies make excellent fitness equipment, and the final choice of which is best for you will most likely come down to a personal preference on the design, shape or color more than it will depend on the rowing machine ratings you used to begin the search.
