A solid, motivating and even visually appealing device.

I opted for the model 2012. This leans even closer to the Concept2 devices (narrower rail, higher seat position). The parts are precisely machined, the assembly is easy. The turbine-like running noise is not unpleasant, but you want to enjoy additional entertainment in rowing, you have probably using headphones, otherwise the overall noise level distributes the roommate. The seat rollers and the cable run very smoothly, the device makes when using a stable and high-quality impression. For the amateur athletes more important than for the professional, the rowing programs that change the resistance periodically, so some variety and also some challenge comes into play. The consultation with your heart rate works perfectly. I have lying around from other fitness equipment chest straps, they were recognized by the receiver of the Finnlo device easily. The folding mechanism works so simple and practical that you, the device also can be folded really easily after each workout and it also brings back with a handle in the "working position". Overall, I find, therefore, the price quite reasonable. Only rowing course you have yet even.
