I loved my Concept2 erg (vintage Model B that I found on CraigsList for $100, and refurbished it using parts that the company still had in stock). I bought it after the Concept2 and treadmills were my favorite machines in two gyms.

I regretted selling the Concept2 just before my last apartment move, and I plan to buy one again when I have a stable place to put it.

The Concept2 erg is expensive, and a matter of taste. So, if a person has never used one, they might want to try one out at a gym first.
