Lifecore R100 Commercial Rowing Machine Review

Overall an excellent unit that I feel is worth its steep price.I've owned a couple rowers and a skier for years and after 3 weeks this is now my cardio workout device of choice.It's quiet, comfortable and the computer controlled workout options are nice.At first I thought things like "whitewater" rowing were a bit goofy but the variable resistance programs make a real difference.The fan does make a bit of noise but far less than my skier and I can easily watch TV over the top of the resistance unit.
The stats and options in the computer unit are top notch.The only gripe I have here is at full extension it sometimes loses the signal of my heart monitor (new Polar unit) - I'm 6' 3" - I tested the Polar watch and it, too, tends to lose the signal at that range so I suppose it's to be expected.I just wear the watch on my wrist to keep track of my actual heart rate (which is normally pretty close on the rower computer anyway) and use the computer stats for tracking distance, speed etc...
The Unit is very solid and sturdy and can give anyone a good workout.Yes, it's a tad on the expensive side but in my opinion it's worth it if you're going to use it often as I do.
