Our Verdict:
Kettler Rowers seem to be selling fast. Whenever we checked online shopping sites, there usually comes an accompanying prompt that stocks are fast running out. It could be because apart from being a top-end rower in terms of quality, the Kettler HKS Coach presents at least 16 other exercise options you can use for your home workouts. You will simply have to hook up the padded backboard and foot protectors that come with the purchase, and you willl have a whole new range of exercise routines to add to your regimen. But the Kettler HKS Coach LS can easily sell on its rowing merits alone. A magnetic brake system eliminates the need for the bulkier flywheel types, plus it comes with 10 easily adjustable resistance levels. Overall its superb features plus quality German engineering makes Kettler Coach LS a definite standout and one hot buy. |

Customer Feedback-
"It is a solid machine. I am a large, well-muscled person. I don't feel like I'm going to rip the handle from the system. This machine will last me a lifetime. And I love the fact there are other exercises that this machine is designed to do. " - Actual User Review - Amazon.com "This is a great rowing machine - its smooth, well-built and easy to use. There are two things about it that bother me: 1) the pulse meter does not work, I've tried everything, and the computer does not pick up the signal of the meter that sits on your chest while rowing." - Actual User Review - Amazon.com "PROS- Smooth rowing. Nice Big Display (but not backlit, which can be hard to read in dim lighting) =CONS- Heart Rate Monitor is very uncomfortable. The plastic and band tend to cut into the skin. To my surprise, I discovered my Polar Heart Rate Monitor worked with it, which is 10x more comfortable." - Actual User Review - Amazon.com "This is German engineering showing off. Very nice machine and solid build make it an impressive machine. Just as good as the gym machines and I have used the best Concept 2 machines and am not sure what the hype is about but in my very honest opinion this is just as good if not better. Bigger than I expect too! 5/5!" - Actual User Review - Amazon.com |
