Recent YOM and great price. You should, however, perform due diligence unless there’s a line forming, all waving checkbooks.
1) Check lifetime meters in the PM(s). High volume isn’t necessarily a dealbreaker but it could make you look closer for something that is—for instance the one in five gym machines with atypically low meters on the clock. Is that one the prize or has it been damaged and waited for repair?
2) Check for dings in the seat rail cap, especially in the path of the top seat rollers at each edge. Fitters are notorious for their improvisational recombination and unorthodox application of any and all gym equipment in their path—the influence of parcour and “street” gymnastics perhaps? You won’t enjoy rolling to and fro over even the slightest dent that can’t be cured by a wIndex wipedown.
3) Check the monitor screen and bezel for cracks or scratches. The most orthodox among us occasionally suffer a paroxysm of transcendent exertion which causes one to HIIT out at the bearer of (good or bad) news.
4) Check monitor operation by rowing 500m on each machine and look closely for missing pixels or vertical lines in the monitor displays.
6) Check for loose or broken plugin sockets on the PMs. (The USB socket on the PM5 is the most vulnerable. The sensor jack socket is well-protected—an advantage over previous PM models.)
7) Don’t be distracted by small talk with gym management. Concentrate on your appraisal and remember you have more than the simple binary choice of buy or walk away—you have the opportunity to choose the best in the lot.
