Concept2 Model E Indoor Rowing Machine Review
The Concept2 Model E Indoor Rowing Machine is without a doubt one of the most durable and compact rowing machines on the market today. It’s built for the occasional home exerciser and the athlete alike.
The Model E sits up higher than the Model D which is about 20” high – about the height of a typical chair. This is perfect for people with mobility or balance issues and safer for a senior to use.
