With unrivaled function and durability, the Concept 2 Rowing Machine Model E Indoor Rower is the machine of choice for people and athletes of all ages and ability. While similar to Concept2's Model D rower, the Model E sits up higher above the floor (20 inches, about the height of a typical dining room chair), which is optimal for those with balance or mobility issues. The Concept 2 Rowing Machine Model E also comes with the PM4 Performance Monitor, and the monitor arm is fixed in place on the Model E (where it pivots on the Model D). The PM4 also includes a rechargeable battery pack and Garmin chest belt for heart rate monitoring.

Whether you already row or are considering rowing to keep in shape, lose weight, cross-train for another sport, compete on the water or rehabilitate from injury or surgery, rowing is the complete exercise for you. Your whole body gets a complete workout from the efficient, rhythmic motion of rowing--arms, legs, chest, back, abs.
Rowing provides superb total-body cardiovascular conditioning in a smooth impact-free exercise. A great investment, the commercial-grade Concept2 Model E Indoor Rower is supported with free online motivational tools such as the Concept2 online logbook, rowing challenges and training forum. Manufactured by the company that set the standard in rowing, the Model E is Concept2’s latest and most advanced indoor rower. With rugged features such as a one-piece leg design, glossy finish top coat, nickel-plated chain and fully-enclosed chain housing, the Model E is recommended for high-use facilities, individuals looking for the latest and greatest, and those who prefer a higher seated position. With a 20” seat height, the Model E sits 6” higher than the Concept2 Model D Indoor Rower, making it easier to get on and off. The self-calibrating Performance Monitor (PM4) displays workout data in five display options, a LogCard to record results, games and more! The PM4 (included) also features built-in wireless heart rate monitoring (chest belt provided), machine-to-machine wireless racing, a rechargeable battery pack, and increased memory capacity.

This review is from: Concept2 Model E Indoor Rowing Machine (Sports)
Anyone who's done any research knows that this is the standard for indoor rowing machines, so I won't elaborate except to say that I agree. I almost didn't buy from Amazon (despite the fact that my entire lifestyle depends on Amazon) because of the overwhelming numbers of negative reviews about shipping. I'm happy to say that the shipping was great. The freight company contacted me to arrange a delivery time a couple of days before delivery. At the appointed hour the truck showed up and two big guys carried a large box into the house. Inside the outer box were two smaller boxes that held all the parts. The individual boxes were small and light enough that I was able to get them into the basement unassisted.

I have owned the Model E for five years, using it 3-4 times per week, approximately 1.3 million meters per year. I also row on the water in the summer.The erg is still in perfect shape, with no signs of wear. It is a well-designed, well-engineered and well-built piece of equipment. The support staff is terrific, with any and all issues resolved very quickly and professionally. This company is deserving of respect for making a great product which it stands behind for many, many years. You will not find a better product or support anywhere.

Excellent construction materials and an outstanding Support Staff while manufactured in the USA. Refreshing to purchase a product that will last for years. This review is from: Concept2 Model E Indoor Rowing Machine (Sports)
I am very pleased with this machine. It was easy to assemble, easy to use and provides a very effective workout. I used to use a stair climber and a treadmill before, but I suffered from impact injuries due to the fact that you are carrying your whole weight on your legs and feet. Also, these machines only work out your lower body. This rowing machine is much better because it protects you from impact related injuries and works your whole body. It is very easy and fun to use. I set it up in front of my plasma TV and my workouts are no longer boring. This model is better than the cheaper models because it sits higher off the ground which makes it much more convenient.

It is inconceivable that reviewers would rate this product with only one star when the issue they're having is with Amazon's shipping. They're completely irrational. Rate Amazon with one star if you don't like the shipping, not Concept2. This product is an incredible piece of equipment. Either a model E or model D are all the cadio equipment you'll ever need. There is no substitute. This is the machine all the pros, Olympians, college and high school crews use, and for good reason.
You cannot buy a better piece of exercise equipment than a Concept2.

I am rating this item by Concept 2's customer service since we don't have all the pieces. We ordered this rower after reading about all the different models and makers we chose this one. Amazon marked the huge box 1 of 2 and 2 of 2. We opened it up and there were 2 boxes in there. Unfortunately for us, the other box was just the electronics,not even the box 2 of 2. We had no idea of not knowing that... only to expect 2 boxes. We have been trying to get Amazon to get us the missing box. No help. They told us to deal with the manufactures, Concept 2. Well, I have to say that the man, Will, was very helpful. I had been contacting him through email and when he hadn't heard from me in a day or two, he went and found our phone number to call us. The box is now on the way but SHAME SHAME on Amazon for not finding the original or admitting their mistake and leaving it up to the manufacturer and us to fix and figure things out(they store a bunch of these rowers in their warehouses). I usually am pleased with Amazon but they didn't impress me with this order. If I had to do it all again, I would just order it from the company.
