Yes, I borrowed one for a month last year. Very smooth action. What is it you'd like to understand? ps they are incredibly heavy.... as they have quite a bit of water in them (at 1Kg/litre)
Ah, just Googled it. I was using one on a rig a few years back. I always wanted to pop a couple of goldfish in it as it had a transparent spinny bit. Am I going to Hell?
Nah , you're safe enough ..... but frogs in blenders will probably get you there .... [ .... actually knew someone at uni who did that as part of her research ]
I looked into one as they look very trick, but realised that for what I wanted to do a concept rower was better.
Yep - got one and a lovely bit of kit. As you can see, if you want to push yourself, you can try using it vertically. Actually it really is a good exercise machine. Nice to have the noise closer to really being on the water, rather than the fan and resistance ones. Made well and I have had mine for over 8 years and have only needed to re-seal the tank once (they supply kits to re-seal the 2 halves), as the pressure overtime causes the seals to fail, but the fix is easy.
Interesting this. I use a standard resistance rowing machine machine at the Gym(When it's open of course) but have been thinking about either a Cross trainer or Rowing machine for home. I really like the idea of being able to store it vertically to save space whilst it's not in use. Nasher.
I've used the flywheel + friction types and also the water-wheel types The water ones are hands-down winners for me ..... .... they are so much closer to the effect of rowing a real boat ( ie non-linear force )
I learn something everyday etc - must have hit on a good concept judging by the number of clones (top one is "Water Rower").
