There are three basic types of rowing machines available in the market-- hydraulic machine, air rowing machine and magnetic rowing machine. Each of them has their own advantage and disadvantage over the other types. A hydraulic machine is not that expensive and can be folded so that it can be stored. This type occupies a small space for storage when it is folded. But they are not that swift and smooth in their motion like the two other types. The hydraulic system which makes it work can also wear out. Air rowing machines are also not that expensive and they provide more resistance. But one problem with this type is that they are very noisy. The noise can be tolerable at first but it can be really irritating and annoying and it might even prevent you from using it and from working out as often as you should because of the noise. The last type is the magnetic rowing machine. Most of the magnetic rowers are almost free from maintenance and they can also be easily stored in a small area. However, this type can not last for say, ten (10) or twenty (20) years.
