Hey RoosterRedux, I want you to know that I got a Concept 2 last March because of you! I clicked on your profile page for some reason (it was primary season, so I was probably thinking, “Who IS this guy?!” and clicked to find out, lol. Sorry! :) ). Anyway, I read your information on the Concept 2, which I’d never heard of before and had no idea I needed. I read every review on Amazon (over 600 at the time...now over 1200...I know because I still read ‘em, lol). Of course I came across the Water Rower and researched it, too. C2’s reviews were simply better, as was the price, plus the fact that I could get Row Pro. Learning that it was used by university rowing teams and Crossfitters was what ultimately sold me; I knew it had to be the best rower out there. But it all started with a recommendation from a fellow FReeper, and I can’t thank you enough! I wanted to thank you sooner, but I couldn’t remember on who’s profile page I’d learned about the C2. Soooo...thanks again!!! :)
That’s great. I have had mine about 4 years now.
BTW, Concept2 service is incredible. I called them to ask if I should lubricate the flywheel (answer: no) and the service rep chatted with me for about 30 minutes, discussing all kinds of rowing stuff. Very good company.
