Kettler KADETT Outrigger Style Rower Rowing Machine

With its combination of exceptional craftsmanship and superior design, the Kettler Kadett provides the most complete workout available in a compact rowing machine. The Kadett reflects precise piece-by-piece German manufacturing standards and features a design that works a more comprehensive set of upper-body muscles. The frame is far more stable than that of its less expensive competitors, and its outrigger design replicates the natural elliptical art of true rowing motion! Like all Kettler rowers, the Kadett includes heart rate and performance monitors that track a range of workout statistics including pulse. more

Kettler Kadet Rowing Machine

Great product. This is my first rowing machine and I am very pleased with it so far. For the money, you get a well engineered product. It only took about an hour to assemble the whole thing. You get a great cardio workout with this machine along with working various upper and lower body muscles....

Kettler Kadett Rowing Machine

I have used several lighter-weight rowers for many years (Precor, Tunturi) and have always loved this kind of exercise. Unable to run for the time being, I wanted an affordable step up and something I would use often. I am very pleased with this machine, [...]. Assembly was actually fun,...

Very good once set up but a few issues

First let me say that the electronic computer gizmo that come with this is absolutly, 100% worthless. Why? It displays all results in German! I don't speak/ read German. I live in the USA and no where in the discription on Amazon or Kettler's website does it say that the computer displays...

Great design, not so great quality control!

As others have said, this machine is very quiet; a big plus. I would give the overall design 5 stars. The downside is quality control, as some others have commented on. One of the oars (rowing arms) arrived defective. The arm rotates in a sleeve and there is a bolt-like pin that fits into a...

Real Nice Life-like Rower with a few quirks

I agree with the descriptions of praise for the rower itself, but the "computer" is somewhat cheap and the wiring connection to it and the magnetic sensor are fragile (mine was cut almost the whole way through). The sensor wire also plugs in with a rather flimsy connection which caused me a few...

Excellent

Best work out I have ever had. Great machine. The company is extremely easy to work with. I was missing a part and received it in 2 days. I also had a handle broke they covered under warranty immediately. Great price.

What they said . . .

I don't have much to add to the other reviewers' writeups. This is a first-rate product with slightly cryptic assembly and usage instructions. But it's certainly do-able for a person with good basic mechanical skills and a bit of patience. I put mine together in an hour or two after work one...

Great Machine..minor frustrations

I am giving this five stars even though there was a minor annoyance with the assembly. There was a single, but important missing part. So, it's off to the Home Depot. The motion is smooth and there are no complaints about the sturdiness of the rower. I wish they would double check the parts...

Nice Machine But....

Over all I think this is a fine rowing machine. The build quality is for the most part very good. My only gripe so far after only one week of use is that one of the handles came off during a morning workout. Now, I'm use to using free weights, and I suppose I can be a little rough, but I...
