Avoid. While a good deal they make garbage. Had their top end Eliptical that died inside of three months. They apparently got tired of sending the repair man and sent another entire Eliptical. It was very evident it was redesigned with much thinner metal and was physically smaller despite being the same model. Shocker, right outside of warranty it died as well. I'll never buy another product of their. There are only two rowers you could consider, Conecpt2 or Waterrower. I bought a City Row branded waterpower but you can buy a plain Jane directily from them for as low as $900. It's wood and plastic, nothing to break. Take care of it and it will last decades. No magnetic resistance crap to break on you. Also can check Facebook or Craigs list for used ones in your area.
I have direct experience with the C2, Xebex 3.0 and RW200/500.
A C2 and Xebex 2.0 or 3.0 are the most comparable for price, performance, value and longevity. My RW500 lasted exactly 15 minutes before the magnetic resistance disc failed. It took me 6 weeks to return it. NordicTrack was a nightmare to deal with.
If you are willing to spend $600, I would highly consider t he Xebex 2.0 non-smart connect for $749. At the $1k range, a C2 is the best you're going to get with the Xebex 3.0 not far behind.
lastly, if you are not in that budget, the sub $500 rowers are all garbage, even for the most recreational/intermittent user. The money would be better spent on an airbike if you want maximum cardio for dollar.
How does this compare to concept2?

I have a Concept2 model c still running strong. It stands in its end when stored which doesn't take too much space. You can even hang clothes off of it when it's standing.
I'm going to look at a used C2 tomorrow. Anything I should check before handing them the cash? I've used rowing machines at the gym before but it's been years since then.
I'd row a few hundred meters on it and see how smooth it is. You can also check the monitor to see how many meters are on it (and the machine itself, assuming it's the orig monitor). Check for physical damage, etc. And I'm sure there's better advice from pros if you do a search. And make sure to check out the FB and other forums, youtube videos, and competitions, etc on the C2 website. Good luck!

Based on everyone's recommendations in this thread, I picked up a used Model D on FB for $650! I was comparing them for a while and glad I finally pulled the trigger…it only has 5,515 meters on it! Thanks everyone! Now it's time to get back into shape!
