Move over waterrower, I found my love!
This is not a perfect rowing machine, but I suspect non exist. I used to have a waterrower, but decided to sell it after a back injury. Yet, I missed rowing too much. I do yoga and walk, but the meditative feeling I get from rowing is fantastic. I almost find it spiritual. When I row, I sleep better and my posture improves. My sciatica is much better too, but I have to keep my lower back stable. I live in Manhattan, so my apartment does not have much space, kettler rowing machine is perfe .... Read more

Good quality with some annoying details
The Kadett is nicely made as the many reviews lead you to expect. And, as others have reported, the shipping package isn't great. Mine had all the parts, but there were some small nuts that were loose in the box that could easily have fallen out in transit.

I take exception to the top ranked review's claim the rowing (sculling) action is like rowing a boat. I find the position of the "oarlocks" too high with respect to my knees. The vertical range of motion for the oar handles is li .... Read more

Worth every penny
I was happy with the order process and delivery of this amazing piece of equipment. Some people have said that they had missing parts or scratched pieces - I did not. I do agree that it is a little time consuming to put together - the estimates of an hour to an hour and a half are accurate. However, the machine is well-constructed and the rowing motion is very smooth. The feel is extremely close to that of actual rowing. I highly recommend the Kettler Kadett. .... Read more

OK, but some weaknesses
well, after reading that many positive reviews, I decided to buy one.

delivery and assembly were flawless.

There are some strange things about this piece of equipment, however.

1. all the labels on the equipment are in German. Not a problem for me, because I am a German living in the States. Must be strange for locals, though.

2. the pulse meter is completely inaccurate. I was rowing like mad to get my pulse into my aerobic zone (130). Once I w .... Read more

A rower to strongly consider
Ordering, as with most items on Amazon, was a snap. Rowing machine package arrived within a week or so of ordering and in very good condition considering its size/shape. Internally, packaging was fairly sound, but there had been some movement of a few of the smaller items during shipping/handling; no part damage was noticed.
Unpackaging the items, I compared them against the manual's parts listing as I went and found that all items were present - always great news when assembly is requir .... Read more
