This thing is great. Ive been wanting a rower but didnt want to spend the money for a concept 2 or Rogue echo. This feels similay and great for what I use it for the differences between them are not a big deal to me.

The only complaint I have for this tower is the screen is hard to see and the way the data is displayed is annoying. The cals interchange with another data point during the row. The seat and function of the rower are great though! The sub par screen is worth the cost savings.

The V1 Monitor lacks the detail and insight of the Concept 2 PM5 Monitor, but the Rower itself is in the same level of build as concept 2. I feel the Merach had a more comfortable seat and the foot stirrups were more comfortable for me as well because they had a wider Velcro strap. I feel like It also had a beefier overall build quality because I think it’s made out of steel and some portions where the concept 2 rower is made out of aluminum. The biggest downfall of this is the monitor as compared to other models but I think in 2026 they’re coming out with a V2 monitor so hopefully the V2 monitor is closer to the P5 because I think it’s a real value at that under $500 price point. We had both at the same time and I sold my concept 2 and kept the Merach but I’m not a competitive CrossFitter or competitive rower so if you are a competitor that has to have a concept 2 or a Rogue that might be in your competitions that something to consider. If you want a more in-depth review, you can see a review and comparison to the concept 2 on the Carp’s Gym YouTube channel.

Monitor lacks the detail and insight of the PM5 but the tower itself is in the same level of build as concept 2. Id still prob go with concept 2 if going anywhere outside of a home gym.
