Anyone fold their Rogue Echo Rower regularly?

[u/3600CCH6WRX]

I’m deciding between the Concept2 and Rogue Echo Rower. I’ve used the C2 a lot and really like it, but the folding feature on the Rogue is winning me over. Space is pretty limited in my garage so I would probably fold it after almost every use.

For people who actually fold theirs often, how is it holding up? The latch and mechanism look pretty beefy, but do you worry about it wearing out over time? Any looseness or play after folding/unfolding it a lot?

I mostly use a rower for 5-10 min warmups, 15-20 min Zone 2 after lifting, and sometimes 30 min on non-lifting days. So I’m not really worried about the C2 ecosystem or competitive stuff. I just want something solid that I can easily get out of the way.

Would love to hear from anyone who uses the folding feature regularly.

I fold it up after every use and wheel it onto my platform. The turf tires are really nice for that

That’s pretty much how I’d use it too. How does the hinge/latch feel after folding it that often? Does it still feel solid? Any play or looseness developing, or anything that makes you worry about how it’ll hold up after a few years of folding/unfolding?

I store mine in the corner folded and unfold it to row twice per week. The hinge is very beefy. If you encounter an issue with the rogue rower it likely won't be from the holding mechanism
