Question about Rowing Machines

I am looking at the Concept 2 Model E rowing machine. Has anyone used or own this machine? Pro's...Con's??? I have been impressed with what I am hearing on MFP about rowing as an excellent aerobic exercise. I use an Elliptical and bicycle but am thinking it would be nice to add one more for variety and cross training. Also, I understand the rowing is supposed to also work the upper body.

Any help would be appreciated...thanks

    Yes. Rowing machines are a great workout! But, if you get one and/or start using one I suggest finding someone to get a lesson from. If you do not use proper form you can cause some pretty bad injuries. Search for a local crew team and see if you anyone would be willing to give you a lesson on the machine. If you don't live near the water you may not find a crew team, but you can probably find an instructional video online or through a local library.
