Value is a bit of a struggle for this one. I bought mine used for $300 and it had a PM3, broken shock cord and bad seat rollers. $300 later and EXTREMELY easy replacements, I had a like new machine with a PM5. This is the sort of company we should all strive to support, where they support all the way down to Gen 1 and cheaply. I joke, but also believe, you could build a rower for cheaper on their parts market than new. I briefly owned an Assault Rower but had such a struggle with replacing that shock cord that I sold it.
The ecosystem with the PM5 and ergdata is also incredible, just robust and works. Mine has changed my life. While there will always be other factors, such as diet, running Pete Plan Beginner 3-4 days a week I managed to lose 40 pounds and get off of blood pressure medication. This is truly one of the best pieces of equipment for a homegym. I also owned a BikeErg but never clicked with it like I did the rower.
