Rowing machines are an excellent and effective way to get exercise and muscle tone, thanks to their sliding seat and repetitive rowing motion, that allows the engagement of almost all major muscle groups, without the need for a lot of gear or a lot of space compared to most workout machines. Long renowned as the perfect aerobic exercise, the WaterRower is unmatched with its ability to burn calories within a perceived level of exertion. Low impact and body weight bearing, the WaterRower is perfect for any user, and each one is built from beautiful, rich wood that is sourced only from sustainably-managed forests where growth exceeds removal by 229%. Wood is used for its unique visual appeal, but also for its ability to absorb sound vibration for smooth, quiet operation, as well as it's stable longevity. The Natural edition rowing machine is handcrafted in solid ash wood, and features a Honey Oak stain finished in Danish oil. Designed to require minimal maintenance, the WaterRower will give years of trouble free use.

We have had ours for 3 years now, and it is FABULOUS! Such a good workout, and my whole body feels it. It’s high quality wood, and it has held up great, even with two little yahoos running around trying to play on it. My husband loves it too, and honestly, this thing is the MVP of our workout room. This mom bod is grateful for WaterRower! Their customer service is excellent too. They send water purification tablets whenever you need them to keep the green out of the water.

I was a bit concerned at the time of assembly that this was an inferior product, because the drill holes in the rails were not perfectly aligned for easy assembly. But...these rails are made of real wood, and real wood expands and contracts with humidity level, so that's probably the reason for the issue. A little elbow grease and patience went a long way.Once put together, I was very impressed with the machine. There is really no other noise beyond the swish of the water. The seat moves smoothly, the row stroke and return are both very stable and smooth, and after three weeks of using it every other day, I've seen no sign of new noises (squeaks, etc.).The s4's monitor is excellent in terms of features. Not the most modern looking device, but it is quite capable ... MoreI was a bit concerned at the time of assembly that this was an inferior product, because the drill holes in the rails were not perfectly aligned for easy assembly.

Turns out--I can and do! Best money I've spent in a while.

The rower comes in 2 boxes, and the assembly requires 2 people. There is online video showing how to assemble the rower, and I would advise to loosely attach the nuts and bolts to allow all components lined up before tightening. The resistance is controlled by how much water you fill into the tank.The operation is reasonably quiet. After 6 month use, there is very little wear and tear, probably due to very few moving parts in a minimalist design. The S4 monitor can be used to record training sessions and linked to computer to join a race online. However, I hardly ever use this function, as I use rower just to keep healthy rather than competition. There is a SmartRow meter you can purchase separately to link the rower to your smart phone, if you are serious ... MoreThe rower comes in 2 boxes, and the assembly requires 2 people.

There are wheels in the front of the rower to allow easy moving. My rower is in storage position by default, and I lay it down when I use it. The whole setting up before using and storage after exercise only take 10s. There are a couple of water cleaning tablets included and more can be ordered. The only maintenance required is to put tablets into the water tank every 6 months.Overall, I like the design of WaterRower, simple and effective.

I hike, run, and cycle, but I am relatively new to rowing for fitness. The WaterRower is even better than I expected and I love it. It looks great, and can easily be stored in a room and not look out of place. It's quieter than I expected, and the water noises are really nice. The build is high quality and everything is smooth. Highly recommended if you're looking for a rower.
Being 61 years young and overweight I needed a exercise other than walking. I also needed something that strengthened many muscles and have a aerobic session. So, after much research I decided on a water rower. Again, after my research I decided to purchase the waterrower brand and bought the Oak classic. After 2 weeks I love it. A 20 minute excessive that does everything I want done. I exercise every morning before work and actually want to do it on the weekends. I feel great for the rest of the day after exercising and it only requires 20 minutes of my time. The water sound is relaxing and the machine itself is a quality piece of craftsmanship that is built to last. I’m 6ft at 269 lbs and it easily supports my weight. I highly recommend this brand. Don’t buy ... MoreBeing 61 years young and overweight I needed a exercise other than walking. I also needed something that strengthened many muscles and have a aerobic session.

Don’t buy the cheap knock offs that you will see on-line, they look the same but the reviews say different. I can attest you get exactly what they advertise with the waterrower.com brand.
This is our family's first rowing machine and we are so happy with it. Beautiful looking piece of equipment. Easy to set up, simple to use and so functional, with a calming, meditative water sound as you row. it shipped super fast, though i found it odd that the courier just left it on the doorstep without ringing the bell or getting a signature, but fortunately no issues with "porch pirates". I do recommend this rower but if you order ask for signature required for delivery if you live in the city!
I absolutely love this rower. It's comfortable, effective, looks beautiful, and sounds great when in use. Must admit that I found the assembly frustrating and finicky, but once it was assembled, I became a big fan. I had to contact the customer service department initially about a piece that arrived broken, and they were fantastic. I'd purchase from this company again. Highly recommend.
I received the rower quickly and without any damage. My nephew helped me put it together, and it was actually fairly simple. I thought filling it with water was going to be messy, but it was not at all. I really like that it's made primarily of wood, and it matches the furniture in my cabin. I like to support companies that make their products in the USA. The sound of the water when you "row" is very soothing. I'm in my mid 40s, and I have bad knees from running all the time when I was younger. This machine is a very good low impact workout.
Got my Waterrower last week. Had been looking at them for years. Very easy to put together. Solid construction. Easy to wheel from family room to storage spot. Most of all I love the action. Great exercise. Reminds me of rowing my dinghy on the Bay of Fundy as a kid. Just what I was looking for. The swoosh of the water is mesmerizing.
Unlike one of the reviewers, who gave it 3* , I read the instructions before attempting to assemble it. It went together very easily. The secret (!) is to NOT screw everything up tight until all the bolts and screws are in place. And take note of which bolt goes where.Once assembled and filled, it lives up to the description as to the way it works - smoothly and with increasing resistance as you row faster. And, because it's in my garage, the ratio of travel time to exercise time is very favourable!
