WaterRower Natural Rowing Machine in Ash Wood with S4 Monitor
Rowing has long been recognized as the perfect aerobic pursuit, with naturally smooth and flowing movements that don’t tax the joints but do boost the heart rate. Now you can take your rowing experience to the next level with the WaterRower Natural row machine. Using the same principles that govern the dynamics of a boat in water, the WaterRower Natural is outfitted with a “water flywheel” that consists of two paddles in an enclosed tank of water that provide smooth, quiet res (more…)

I cannot believe no one else has reviewed this yet! I got mine more a year ago. I use it at least once a week (usually 2-3 times). Read online about the benefits of rowing—you get the cardio/aerobic plus the muscle toning, with no joint impact. A very, very nice combination. Despite some folks expressed concerns (at least folks tell me they worry), there are no back issues. This rower looks nice, feels great (love the water resistance!), and gets results. It is elegant and functional. Yes, it is a tad pricey. But hey, if you actually use it, you will get results, it is more than worth it. I live in a traffic congested area (Washington DC) and have no desire to fight traffic to get to the gym. For me, this is a perfect solution. Given the quality of this piece of equipment, I expect to be using it for years!

Great Home Exercise choice.
I bought a Waterrower (Ash with S4 monitor) and can’t say enough good things about it. I use a Concept 2 in the gym (it doesn’t sound noisy there but who can hear anything in a…

Ok but with some reservations, limited comparison w Concept 2
Update – Water rower sent me a new sensor and disk which fixed the computer. It was relatively easy to install. I would like to upgrade my rating to 4.
The waterrower is an excellent machine that is exceptionally designed and provides an outstanding workout. I have owned one for about 10 years, and my wife and I both use it regularly. In the entire time I’ve owned it, the only parts I’ve had to replace have been the monitor batteries and the double-sided tape that fastens the monitor wire brackets to the frame. I found the workout it provides to be deceptive at first–until I stood up after using it the first several times, I didn’t realize just how intense the workout had been! If you’ve used other rowing machines, you’re in for a treat when you try this one–there is absolutely no shock to the shoulders or arms at the beginning of a stroke (even from rest). The footrest is rock solid and easily adjustable for foot size; the frame is long enough to accommodate very tall rowers (I’ve had friends up to 6′ 4″ use it without banging into the stops); the components are rugged and last a long time (at least 10 years so far); and the seat is about the most comfortable I’ve found on any rowing machine. It’s also quiet–the only sound from the machine is the sound of rushing water (rather appropriate). And when you’re done with your workout, it easily tips upright for rolling into a convenient corner until the next time you’re ready to use it. This machine definitely deserves five stars. I’ve also used a `Concept2′ fan-resistance rower at a local gym that I’d rate at a 4, and a Brookstone folding rowing machine that I rated a 2 at best–but only because I was feeling generous at the time I entered that review on Amazon.com. Although this machine is expensive, if you’re serious about working out on a rowing machine, this is definitely the one to get.

Great alternative to running
After incurring a foot injury (plantar faciitis) and not being able to run for an extended period of time I sought a “good work-out” alternative.
Absolutely great! The only thing that beats this is the shell on the river, except when its really cold.
Shipped as promised in good packing and the unit was mostly assembled. The rest was easy.
If you can, get the S4 monitor with heart rate
