Kettler Favorit Rowing Machine

Overview

The Kettler Favorit is the most straightforward and practical rower on the market. The Favorit was built to meticulous Kettler German manufacturing standards. The result is a dual-piston rower with a smoother, more stable workout on a frame designed for users up to 285 lbs. The raised seat rail makes getting on and off easier and provides gravity-assist return for a more natural seat motion. The performance monitor is far more sophisticated than cheaper models with six displayed readouts at once! Heart rate monitoring and recovery pulse features are also included.

High quality rowing machine
Having owned a Precor rowing machine prior to buying this rower, the differences are appreciable. While the Precor was well-made and a good machine, the Favorit is a level above.

The package was delivered in very good condition. Assembly took about 90 minutes and all parts were included. Thanks to another reviewer's suggestion to lay out all the parts before assembly - this really helps.

The machine is sturdy and rock solid. All the mechanics function smoothly. The sea .... Read more

Very good for periodic exercising
The Kettler Favorit piston rowing machine is very good for someone who wants to use rowing as an aerobic exercise. It was fairly easy to assemble via its clear pictures although most of the written instructions are in German. It is very well made with heavy duty parts and hardware. The difference from most other piston rowing machines is that the handles can rotate in and out making the action much closer to actual rowing than other, similar machines. It is fairly compact and although heavy, can .... Read more

Kettler Quality for Bargain Price
I admit I didn't want to spend a lot for a rowing machine, so the Kettler Favorit seemed a good compromise. Shipment was free and item arrived quickly and in perfect condition. The Kettler Favorit is built of high quality, well-designed, sleek machinery (German-made after all). It's solid and quiet.

The instructions are written in several languages; just seek out yours. If you can't find your language, you aren't looking close enough.

For the price, this is a very ni .... Read more

Kettler Favorit Rowing Machine
This rowing machine was fairly easy to assemble, however picturing the exact size of screws, nuts, bolts, etc. would be very helpful. The reason for 3 stars is the computer unit's lack of functionality. The directions for use are horrible and confusing. We still have not been able to get it to work properly. I emailed Kettler and they responded within 2-3 days. Unfortunately, their response was of no help. They said the computer unit automatically begins working when rowing begins and offe ....
