Concept2 RowErg Indoor Rowing Machine (PM5 Monitor)

The gold-standard Concept2 RowErg: splits in two for storage, but louder than magnetic rivals.

Price range: $$$ (Premium)

What we liked

  • + Air resistance with 1-10 damper and the gold-standard PM5 performance monitor
  • + Separates into two pieces without tools; stores at 25 x 33 x 54 in on caster wheels
  • + 500 lb user capacity and 5-year frame warranty; fits very tall users

Trade-offs

  • - Fan noise is much louder than magnetic rowers, a consideration in thin-walled apartments
  • - 96-inch assembled length and the near $1000 price are the steepest in this list
