Which Rowing Machine

Be_Happy

Having spent last 2 months helping friend with allotment, I've lost inches and toned up with the digging and pushing around heavy wheelbarrows.  This is cutting down now and I'd like to buy a home rowing machine.  I used to go to a gym many years ago and found this type of exercise machine gave the best results.  I already take a brisk 2 mile walk every day and weekly 6 mile one.

Problem is, which rowing machine.  Websites are full of varieties but I don't trust reviews.  I'm looking for a small, fairly quiet one that will fold, or stand vertically in bedroom.  Want a sturdy machine, not flimsy that will either be too loose to be of any value, or break in a few months.  Noise is a consideration too as I live in a flat.  I'm elderly, (but fit), 5'4".  Budget limit under £200.

Can anyone recommend from their own use?

The problem with home gym equipment is that it is usually disappointing if you've been used to gym standard equipment (Concept 2 rower etc).

From having a quick look on line, the range seems to improve greatly if you could push your budget nearer to £250.

I'd steer clear of cheaper "hydraulic resistance" ones.

Thanks.  I'll push budget and note your advice to avoid hydraulic resistance ones.  I've made the mistake of buying other things cheaply and finding I've wasted my money.
