Pros
Pro Air resistance provides smooth and even performance
This is an air rowing machine which means that the resistance is provided by an internal flywheel. The flywheel creates wind as you pull on the handles which creates more resistance. Pulling harder means the flywheel will spin faster and create more wind, thus creating more resistance. This creates a similar feeling as rowing on water.
Pro Great build quality
The Concept 2 Model D is made of high quality material that is built to last.
The front legs are made of aluminum and rear legs are made of steel. The cord is a nickel-plated steel chain, the monorail itself is made out of aluminum, and the seat track is made of stainless-steel.
Pro The control panel has a variety of helpful features
The Model 2 is equipped with Performance monitor 5, a mini-computer that is full of features and workout preferences. Along with tracking 5 different stats, it has built-in pre-set workouts or you can customize a workout routine. You can even play games on it.
Pro Resistance levels can be adjusted
The settings on the damper can be adjusted from level 1 to level 10. Different levels will give you a different sense of rowing. Lower levels give you a perception of a smaller and faster boat, while higher levels will feel like rowing a heavier boat.
