D to E Comparison

Indoor Rowers > Model D / E Comparison

Which Indoor Rower should I Buy?


The Concept2 Indoor Rowers are industrial-grade pieces of equipment. They have been designed to stand up to the intense use of Olympic Training Centres, or the 24-hour demand of a large fitness centre as well as being perfectly suitable for home use.

If you are looking for the basic model, the
Model D with PM3 is a great value.  It is our fourth generation of indoor rower since 1981. First introduced in 2003, the Model D is currently used by rowers of all ages and abilities in homes, schools and fitness centres around the world.  

The
Model E adds the following features:  At 51cm from the ground, the Model E is considerably easier to get on and off than the lower profile of the D. The E is also a good choice for use in public locations such as health clubs where the low profile of the D may make it less inviting. High use locations will benefit from the lower maintenance required of the nickel plated chain and the more resistant clear coat finish on the E.  The E also comes with the more powerful PM4 monitor.
