I owned a Kettler Coach M for about 10 years until the cord finally broke (I use the machine daily 20-30 min.). When I found out a service call was $300, I decided to put the money towards a new LifeSpan Fitness RW1000 Rowing Machine big mistake. Even at the highest setting, there was so little resistance a workout was a waste of time. So I shipped it back 2 months ago and am still waiting for my refund less $85 return shipping. NOTE: I did not buy it from Amazon, wished I had.I received this new Coach M a month ago, and I''m much happier, although it still doesn''t have the same resistance at the highest setting that the old one did maybe about 85%. That''s OK, I''ll keep it, but I have to work faster and longer for the same calorie burn. The beauty of this machine is it''s so quiet you can watch TV or work out without waking a sleeping household.
The readout display is full of information, so much that the characters are small and hard to read. It really doesn''t matter to me, since I work out by the clock, but it would be nice to easily see the elapsed time and # of reps. Someone with better eyesight probably won''t have a problem with it.
One more recommendation: If at all possible, buy your machine whatever your choice from a store where you can try it first. There is no such place near me, so the internet purchase was my only option. It is no fun re-packing these things for return shipment if you decide you don''t like it.
