Well, you better subscribe to the channel so I can get those KZitem bucks rolling in so I can afford a nice camera with auto stabilization. My Cannon 70D is more than ten years old.

I'm deciding between Concept2 and Apollo Plus Black. Are you still happy with your waterrower? Are you aware if there any major difference between Apollo Plus and Pro models? Thanks & best wishes!

I went with the Apollo rowers because I enjoy the sound of the water versus the annoying WOOSHING of the Concept fans. The Concept rowers also look like commercial gym equipment, and that's not what I wanted in my home gym.

i really like the video but i have a serious question. you show a really unknown technique because you do not straighten your legs with your stroke wich makes you loose like 50% of your energy. however, you say you’re like 1.85m, do you think if you straighten your legs, it will also work to me as I am 1.93m?

Hi Martin. Someone else asked the same question regarding the seat track at full extension. I can safely say that I have around 6 full inches of clearance when my legs are extended at their maximum. so I think with you being a few inches taller it should be fine.

Cool video, there are not that many around on these rowers. I've been considering the Apollo Plus, but I'm wondering, are you able to have your legs fully extended on this machine? I'm 6'5" and I'm a bit afraid that it will end up being too small, and have no place to try it out.

Hey Oliver,. I just went downstairs to measure. I'm nearly 6'2" and with my legs fully extended, the seat still has over 6 inches of travel left before it hits the stops. If you have a really long arm reach (like me) then your arms will most likely extent over the front assembly when you are fully retracted. But I don't see this as much of an issue, imo. Thanks for leaving a comment! I'm glad you got some value out of my review video.

@@derekszyszka Thanks a lot, I didn't expect such a quick reply! It's definitely nice to have an actual opinion on it, rather than just a promotional video. I'm going to sleep on it, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to be ordering it soon.

Hi Derek. Thanks for a great review. I recently tried a few rowers at my local gym superstore in the UK. Iv been on a waterrower and used concept 2 s at gyms for years. Didn't really enjoy rowing but just did it when I was at the gym. Anyway I tried a few at the store including the concept 2 and the apollo pro xl just stood out to me over the others. Incredibly comfy seat and a lovely rowing experience and the stroke was in tension throughout. Anyway this rower was £1400 so I resigned myself to getting either a new concept 2 or another 2nd hand one. Anyway low and behold a friend of a friend is selling this rower for 450 and was wondering if you still have the rower and would you still recommend it. I'd only get the concept 2 because if its monitor and its online capabilities but then I thought. Would I actually compare my times to others. I doubt it. So should I go with my heart and get this one as I thought it was clearly the best one out of all the ones I test drove. Sorry for the rambling post.

Hey. Thanks for the reply. To answer your question, I do still have the rower and I definitely still recommend it! I agree with you that the seat is very comfy. I used the Concept 2 rowers at gyms many many times and I was never a fan of the hard plastic seats. I didn't actually know that Concept rowers upload your stats online. Kinda cool, but I enjoy a simple monitor that doesn't require the internet to fully function, so I'm very happy with how mine works. If you can get a used one for 450, I would say that's a great deal. Do you use Discord? You should post a picture in my server once you get everything set up :) The link is in the description of this video. discordapp.com/invite/yqsuK6X

Great video mate! Quick question, does the monitor device have an option to view total time usage and rowing distance spent from day one? I plan to buy this used and I found one by chance. The seller claims he only used it "once" for owning it two years which is hard to believe. Thanks!

I don't believe the monitor has that option you explained. Even if it did, there would be easy methods to wipe the history, so I wouldn't trust it anyway. Thanks for liking my video!

Pro models of producs in general are usually made with higher quality materials and have a few extra features. I don't know off the top of my head, but I'm sure the official website has all the information you're looking for.
