Which is the best rowing machine?

There is only one rowing machine that I would ever purchase and that is the Concept II.  Since 14 years of age I have rowed on Concept II’s and back then my rowing coach told me this was the only rower worth purchasing and still today it’s the same.  My current Concept II I own I have had for 10 years and works perfectly as it did the day I bought it.  I have tried many different types of rowers and the Concept II stands out by far as the best.  In second place I would put the water rower, it looks great and feels great and for some people this is the best rower, but having used Concept II’s for years I have grown to only accept one rower.  The fan sound you get from the Concept II and the motion and feel it provides can’t be beat.

I wouldn’t really consider anything other than the Water rower or Concept II, other rowers feel weak and cheap, I have never heard of anyone serious about fitness highly recommending another rower other than these two prime examples.  The Concept II and the Water rower are not cheap but hold value well, you see Concept II’s selling on Ebay 5 years old for only 30% off the original price.
