I really wanted to like the Tunturi R60 because the Concept2 rower is such a cliche. On paper, the R60 seemed to offer a lot: dual track seat, compact folding design, quiet electromagnetic resistance, and a bit of Scandinavian panache. In reality, the plastic membranes covering the R60′s control buttons on the handle and the computer housing cracked from repeated use, its slippery seat did not conform to my posterior, its non-adjustable foot rests were uncomfortable and caused my gym shoes to squeak relentlessly, and its nylon belt connecting the handle to the flywheel made annoying noises as it abraded against the flywheel housing. To my chagrin, I wound up owning a Concept2 Model D…which costs far less than the R60 and, in my estimation, works far better. Buyer beware.

I enjoy the product very much. It is solid, the seat is comfortable and I really like that it folds up and can be stored. The resistance is good and I think the controls on the handles are great (you can dial up the resistance as you are exercising).
I previously owned a piston rower and really enjoyed it. This is a step up for sure but I paid for it (pistons can be had for $500 bucks). At the $1,500 price point you expect the product to really work. While the majority of the product works great, the heart rate monitor does not. If you are perhaps 1 foot away from the head unit, it will sense the signal from the chest strap. If you extend your stroke out to say 3 feet (within the spec per the manual and completely reasonable expectation as you do “row”), there is no signal at all. So you get 25% of your beats measured. I tried all of the caveats (clothing can build static up, TV could cause interference, fresh battery) but never got acceptable results. The back lit display is also weak if not in consistent light, but that is just a function of technology, not an untruthful claim.
I happen to have a watch that will also read the signal, you I just use that and dial up and down the resistance. That works great, but the “propaganda” that you can set a specific heart rate and the machine will adjust for you is simply not true. I expected truth at this price point. I would buy it again, but i wish they would address what is clearly a substainal issue.

This is a very good machine, very quiet, I think the seat is a bit small an a little hard, but is a very good rowing machine. The controls tha are at the rowing pole did not work neither the polar heart rate system.
