Best Rowing Machines for Home Use
The best rowing machines for home use depends on a variety of factors. A particular indoor rower may the top choice for one person, but not be the best rowing machine for someone else. Here are some guidelines to help you choose the best indoor rower for you:
Budget
If money is not an issue, than the top choices would be the Concept 2 Rower or the WaterRower. The Concept2 is well built equipment and is used in health clubs, rehabilitation clinics, and rowing competitions and the Water Rower is constructed to simulate outdoor rowing. For those with a limited budget, hydraulic rowers from Stamina or Kettler are suitable.
Sound Concerns
Air rowers (such as the concept 2) can produce a lot of sound because of the movement of the air flywheel. Depending on the model of rowing machine, it can be very difficult to carry a conversation because of the noise! If you have a baby in the house and you exercise while they’re sleeping, the noise from an air rower can wake them up. Magnetic resistance rowers, such as the ones made by Tunturi, are ideal in this situation because magnetic rowing machines are virtually silent.
