4.0 out of 5 stars Good for limited space and/or limited budget, September 20, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: First Degree Fitness WR-N Neptune Rower (Sports)
Although I previously wrote a very critical review of this product, my subsequent experience with the Neptune Rower requires me to offer a more positive take. I use it every weekday in my pied a terre apartment and have found it reliable and enjoyable. One big advantage of the Neptune is that it's the only water rower I know that can be stored upright in a small amount of floorspace. Wheels make it easy to position.
As noted in the earlier review, it was difficult to assemble due to an opening not large enough to accommodate a bolt and the little monitor's annoying beep (which sounds with every stroke) can't be turned off, so you simply have to pull the batteries. But the machine does offer me a good aerobic workout and is very convenient.

3.0 out of 5 stars Spend the extra money for the Pacific rower, March 12, 2010

This review is from: First Degree Fitness WR-N Neptune Rower (Sports)
The overall quality of the Pacific rower, when compared to the Neptune rower, is worth spending the extra $300. They are both manufactured by the same company. Although the Pacific's computer isn't quite on par with the Concept II's I've used in the past, it is a lot better than the Neptune's computer. It provides more information than the one on the Neptune and the method of measuring distance rowed is a lot more accurate as well. I do wish that they had a better mounting location for the computer but it isn't that big of a deal.
The seat, handle and foot pads are a lot better than the Neptune's as well and they're are fewer parts to assemble than the Neptune.
If your down right on a strict budget, or your just cheap, the Neptune will burn some calories but if you want a better rowing experience and the satisfaction of money well spent upgrade to the Pacific rower; you will be happy that you did!

4.0 out of 5 stars good product though requires tweaking, April 1, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: First Degree Fitness WR-N Neptune Rower (Sports)
Rower works great, though the assembly requires correction that is not documented in the manual. The magnet under the seat (to work with electronic monitor) was placed on the wrong side, and to correct this requires reassembling the seat and rollers with the spacers on the other side. The magnet was glued on the wrong side, and required some force to loosen. The water resistance works great. Quiet (only hear water swooshing noise) and smooth resistance.
