Schwinn
Rowing Machine Review
The
only offering from Schwinn for rowers is the Windrigger.
It's on the higher end of pricing and uses air resistance.
The
Schwinn Rowing Machine is a good rower with a long warranty
and good ergonomics, the only probelm is that in this price
range, that's not enough of a reason to buy one...
When
you campare the Schwinn against the Kettler
Coach and Tunturi,
it would seem that Schwinn dropped the ball on this rowing
machine. Or did they?
Schwinn
has chosen to use wind resistance on their rower (like the
Bodycraft
vr100) instead of magnetic resistance on the Kettler
and Tunturi.
The
advantage of wind resistance is that it more closely simulates
real water rowing. The faster you row, the more resistance
you're up against...
Schwinn
Rowing Machine Key Features and Benefits
- computer
displays time, speed, distance, stroke rate, watts, and
calories burned
- two
positions for more demanding abdominal and hamstring exercise
- fan
wheel technology exponentially increases the wind resistance
the harder you row
- 3
years frame, parts and labor
To
most rowing machine buyers, the type of resistance won't
be a significant purchase factor, as most people want a
good workout regardless of whether it's air, or a magnet
they're working against.
Also,wind
resistance is that it isn't adjustable. With a magnet, you
can tune and tweak the exact difficulty level of the work
load at the touch of a button...
I
would pass on the Schwinn Rowing Machine at this price and
get Kettler
Coach if you want magnetic resistance, or checkout the
Bodycraft
vr100 that's a similar rowing machine, yet costs up
to $500 less...
