I love the C2 rowing machines. But I cannot afford them. Is the Nordictrack RW200 a good rower? I've tried low end rowers (i.e., less than $350), and I did not like them.

There is a part of my home where I jump rope. Sometimes it hits the ceiling. I don't know if there is lead paint or asbestos. It is not a popcorn ceiling. But particles/dust shower me a little bit. Is there a covering I can put on my ceiling to keep me safe from the dust? The weather will not allow me to jump rope outside.
