Are the rowers too noisy for apartments?

Thinking about getting myself a rower, not sure if it will annoy the neighbors with noise, how loud is it? Does anyone use one in an apartment?

The new ones are ok, using them at night would not be that smart, but overall I would say a hoover makes more noise and you clean your appartment with that.

Hi,
I recently got myself a Model C. Once you learned to row properly (see thread "Secure rower to the floor") I wouldn't really worry about it. I live in an old house where the ceiling is stuffed with reed and slag. Still, no complaints!

Doesn't offer C2 a 30 day test and trial period in the US? When you get evicted because of rowing that soon you can still your money back :D

Cheers,
SB
