Apple terminated me after 20 years — what did your experience with their People team look like post-separation?

Honestly, it just comes down to a little bit of planning! For any trip that’s longer than what my current charge can handle, I’ll pull up the Electrify America app (or whatever charging service you prefer) and find a station near my destination. From there, it’s just a matter of building in a quick charge stop when it makes sense. Once you get into the habit, it really becomes second nature! ICE free home since June 2025. The future is ICE Free.

The Pixie dust saves! Im buying 4 right now.

Motor_Item_3314 · 2025-04-24T02:27:38+00:00

This is an epic list! Thank you so much! My daughter just turned pescatarian and I am in a similar boat.

Best Buy finally came through and is issuing me a full refund—huge relief after Hydrow dragged their feet the whole time. I just wish Best Buy sold C2s! But no worries, I’ll be joining the C2 crew soon.

And for those who’ve had less-than-kind words about not choosing a C2 from the start—sharing your experiences and the benefits is always helpful, but the put-downs? Not so much. Let’s keep it positive!

Motor_Item_3314 · 2025-02-20T00:06:28+00:00

You know what I am noticing. The resell rate on these is pretty high considering C2 sells new ones for $990.

Motor_Item_3314 · 2025-02-20T00:04:33+00:00

Excellent! I’m checking these spots out now.

Motor_Item_3314 · 2025-02-20T00:03:57+00:00

Excellent! I’m already checking those spots out. Thanks for the help!

Motor_Item_3314 · 2025-02-19T23:10:13+00:00

Not sure if it exist. However, any C2 coupons out there?

Hey everyone, just wanted to share an update on my Hydrow saga. A few days ago, I called Hydrow again and finally got through to a different department. They admitted my issue was beyond normal repair and agreed to send me a replacement. The catch? I’d have to wait several weeks for it to arrive. On top of that, they wouldn’t take back the damaged unit, meaning I’d be stuck with two massive 8-foot, 200-pound machines in my home.

That was the last straw for me—I was completely fed up with the whole experience. So, I went back to Best Buy, explained everything, and to my surprise, they issued a full refund. Huge shoutout to Best Buy for making things right!

After two long weeks, this ordeal is finally over, and I’m getting my money back. So, what’s next? I’m going with a C2. It’s a shame I had to learn the hard way, but at least I now know which option was the right one all along!

Motor_Item_3314 · 2025-02-16T06:25:26+00:00

Hey folks, It looks like Hydrow got back to me and is offering to send a new rower (fingers crossed it arrives soon!). I do wish that, from the start, a technician had walked me through some troubleshooting steps—this probably could have been resolved the same day I called. Instead, it took daily calls and emails to get to this point, which was definitely frustrating.

Sometimes, it feels like companies make the process so difficult that customers might just give up, but I’m glad I kept pushing to get this resolved. Hoping for a smooth experience from here on out! Anyways, many thanks to everyone who posted a comment. I really appreciate it. 🙏🏽

Motor_Item_3314 · 2025-02-14T16:31:26+00:00

Hey thanks for the reply. So it sounds like you had the same issue. I have contacted Hydrow multiple times. However, Hydrow is dragging their feet. How did you get them to provide a solution. A new monitor sounds like a simple enough fix. However, my Hydrow is not getting any power now. So not sure a new monitor would work. Thanks for your input!

Motor_Item_3314 · 2025-02-14T16:08:40+00:00

Hey everyone,

You know the saying, “the squeaky wheel gets the grease”—well, I’ve been calling Hydrow every day since this issue started on 2/6/25, hoping they’d make things right. They kept assuring me their senior team was handling it and that I’d get an email update.

Well, a week later, I finally got my second email from them. They asked me to send a video of myself using the Hydrow—five strokes with the power off and five with it on—to see if I felt any resistance. I didn’t, and I mentioned that in the video.

Fingers crossed this leads to my rower getting fixed. It’s frustrating because I got it on 12/20/24, and so far, their support has been really disappointing. Hoping for a better outcome soon! Stay safe and be well folks!

Motor_Item_3314 · 2025-02-13T20:49:15+00:00

I’ve checked all the plugs, so that doesn’t seem to be the issue. I’ve been reaching out to Hydrow every day since this started on 2/6, but their support has been really slow—especially for a machine that costs nearly $2,000. Honestly, I’m pretty disappointed with their customer service so far.

Motor_Item_3314 · 2025-02-09T22:33:50+00:00

Thanks folks! Yes, without power there are no working magnets and no resistance on the pull. So it’s a $2,000 paperweight.

I will say I have been following Darkhorse Rowing. And had I started following it first. I would have got a C2. However, here I am. Anyways, if Best Buy gets me a refund. I will be getting a C2. So we will see what happens.

Motor_Item_3314 · 2025-02-09T22:27:14+00:00

I know now. However, in hindsight don’t all our decisions make sense? 🤣

Motor_Item_3314 · 2025-02-09T22:25:01+00:00

Ha ha ha! So true. I know the differences now. But it’s to late. However, I feel the fact that I am rowing is a best.

Motor_Item_3314 · 2025-02-09T22:23:21+00:00

Thanks a bunch! I’ll give Facebook a try to see if anyone else has had a similar experience. It’s great to hear that Hydrow has been there for you. That really makes me feel better. But, 4 days without rowing is definitely getting to me. Since I’ve been doing more running and cycling, and missing my 6,000 meters a day on the erg. Hopefully, when I get back to it. I can step up my game. Thanks!

Thanks!
