a musthave.

If you consider that the cheaper devices with magnetic brake also at about 700, - are Euro - we need more than the cheaper scrap not to mention here - the leap to a device with air or water drive no longer so great - it's worth it but in any case. Because the magnetic brakes do have a lot of programs, but who needs them, and you can adjust the resistance; but which is static, always the same, regardless of which pull position you are. Not particularly easy on the joints.
Have entscheieden me after trying all systems for the incomparable water drive, the modern classics so, but in the cheaper variant. The resistance is very pleasant, the lapping well, preferably in wide open window in morgendlichem birdsong ...
And the thing is certainly stylish. In New York this is apparently all the rage, not least thanks to the presence in House of Cards. Somehow a musthave.
Three small criticisms:
In the assembly instructions is likely to be a little more clearly pointed out that some screws are already installed and before - otherwise unproblematic - assembly must be solved first, which would have saved me some trouble.
Who wants to especially hard workout, perhaps should be better access to Concept2, provided that the necessary space is available.
And whom do not disturb so 300 euros more also, should then take the same but the timber model, since the carriage is quieter, and the computer is not quite so stupid.
But otherwise full recommendation!
