Nice overall review. Is there some commentary on long term durability and maintenance? Thanks!

Maintenance is just making sure the water stays clean, there are several ways to do this, but it's a pretty easy process. In terms of is durability I haven't found any complaints online. I've used this several times over the last 6 months along with several other testers and so far it's held up great. - Linds

Great review, thanks! I came to same conclusion regarding narrow foot placement. Bought a Waterrower A1 Studio model which is an aluminum monorail with foot placement similar to a C2 (I.e. lower and spread apart with the monorail running in between. The A1 Monitor/lack of programming wasn’t an issue for me as rowing is a cardio component of my workout and not my focal. Looks great, works great and slightly cheaper than the model you reviewed.

Thanks for watching! I love that you found one that works for you!! - Linds

I don‘t get how someone can complain about the CORRECT foot placement. I am a competitive rower, it is like in a boat and that is what the manufacturer wanted to achieve. A real con is that the clutch slipps if u start with a lot of force, not perfect for heavy intervals. Compared to a C2 the strokes feel different because the water provides a bigger resistance from the beginning of a stroke, so the legs und lower back will get sore earlier.

I think there is a difference in people finding a rower to workout on and wanting it to feel comfortable to them! I totally understand that narrow foot placement is great for rowers, but not every one love the feel of it! Just my opinion, not saying narrow foot placement is right or wrong. - Linds

My now wife's aunt sold me hers for $100 and i love it. Feet are a bit narrow but after using it more, i don't mind. Seat is great, i agree. I feel the handle is a bit thin and not a huge fan of the shape. Programs aren't really my thing so not a big deal but seeing the screen is very difficult (I'm visually impaired). I'd recommend it but that's also coming from getting it much cheaper!

That is such a great deal! You lucked out for sure! The machine is great! I really liked rowing on it, but yes, the screen is pretty difficult to see! - Linds

I had heard you pour a bottle of rubbing alcohol in with the water to keep it clean. Not sure if that is safe for the plastic though.

Interesting, I've not heard that! I would definitely be sure its okay before you do it though, don't want to risk ruining anything on the machine! - Linds

Maybe Lindsey wants to go to #homegymcon ? #gymcrafter

Any reason why this has not caught on with the rowing clubs? Seems like this was meant to be an improvement over the C2 for more realism, but I've never seen a team club erg room or even CrossFit box have these in them. What gives?

From what I am hearing they really aren’t for heaven spring workouts. Waterrower is more for endurance. Plus I am seeing reviews it’s tank leaks over time

Can't listen to that voice for more than 10 seconds without getting VERY aggressive... Sorry Lindsay, but don't forget to breath while speaking.
