The best rowing machine for commercial and home use hands down Concept 2, this is coming from years of experience not only using it but also being a fitness machine technician.
Noise? Ive used waterrower which just bust (11 years of on/off use, in fairness) and looking for something new, but still worried about noise level of C2 (live in apartment) - thoughts?
Great list. One thing missed is that the Concept2 can be split in two pieces. When I originally bought mine several years ago I lived in a small apartment and actually kept mine in a closet. At the time it was the only substantial rower we could get away with in our space.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru Yes I’m am. Luckily, I bought it in May 2019 right before the run on home fitness equipment. It’s obviously been heavily used and trouble free. It now lives in my home gym with my BikeErg, SkiErg, and Sole F85. Your reviews have been super helpful for picking out this assortment, and staying subscription free. Thank you!
@@I922sParkCir That's awesome and we appreciate your feedback! We're glad that we can be helpful! We wouldn't mind taking a glance at your home gym setup either if you have a photo you might be able to send us on instagram? It sounds impressive!
@@MinnieOnCam it was on a rug and no one complained. I’m thinking a cattle mat from Tracker Supply would work if you need it. I have that under my treadmill.
Lovely ladies and rowers! I would always recommend C2 over the others for several reasons not mentioned. One is the fact it breaks into 2 parts, as mentioned by another commenter. Secondly, it's massively lighter and less expensive than the Hydrow. The parts are also readily available and it will always work fully, you won't be held to ransom paying subscriptions. In addition, you can connect the PM5 to various apps that run on tablets and phones, if that's your thing. I could go on...but there's no question I'd buy a C2 unless I was an *extremely* casual and wealthy user who would never need to move the item and had a place for it next to the power supply it requires, I *might* consider the Hydrow. As for the others...no thanks. Great video, interesting viewing...👍
@@ThurstonHowell3rdNonsense. Noise while louder is not particularly jarring IMO. Most have music blaring anyway. If noise is that critical the water rowers are quieter than anything else based on tests with decibel meter
@@ThurstonHowell3rd No way does it sound like a lawn mower. That is ridiculous. Its louder than the magnetic machines, but its not all that loud, and the frequency range is not something that really carries.
Thanks for watching! We debated on including that in this but didn't want to make it too long, unfortunately, we apologize about that. We did however include that in each of the individual reviews of these rowing machines if you'd like to take a look at some of our other videos. Let us know if you have any other questions, thanks!
I’m just now discovering the benefits of an indoor rower. When I first started to get back into shape, I picked up an inexpensive magnetic rower to see how I would like it. I’ve outgrown it quickly, however, and I’m now looking to move up to something that provides more resistance. This video was very helpful and I think I’m going to save for the Concept 2. I’ve heard good things about them, many of which you mentioned in the video. I don’t need a screen on my rower, because I use the Apple follow along rowing workouts. Thanks for all the insight on these machines!
Could you guys also include reviews of the Teeter Power 10 elliptical rower as well? It seems to be a new kind of “rowing machine” entering the market but there is precious little review information available for it, particularly in comparison to the kinds of rowers featured here. I really enjoyed your review of all these machines; gives me a lot more to consider.
I have a second generation Concept rower with the latest PM5 interface, I've use the newer ones at my gym, very hard to beat the support from Concept. They still supply parts for my rower, if you are looking for something that you can keep operational for years, Concept rowers are easy to maintain because my second generation rower works for rowing like the latest model except its NOT quiet, but it rows similar to the latest models. Plus its still the standard for competitive rowing contests. If you like apps and videos this may not be the rower for you.
Thanks so much for these reviews. I'm new to rowing and considering an indoor rower to supplement my training. This really helped me understand the big differences between the types of rowers available. Keep up the great work!
I knew that you would love the Aviron when you checked it out. However, please do a specific review on the Aviron rower. It deserves its own separate review.
I used to have a water rower (ergatta) and i just bought a King Smith foldable water rower. Hope you can review this soon as this will be a direct competitor for any water rowing machines!
I’m having difficulty deciding between concept 2 and assault elite. Price is comparable. Both heavy duty. Assault is more comfortable and sits a little higher then the non upgraded concept 2.
Great video showcasing some of the best rowing machines of 2023! While all of these options look fantastic, I was surprised not to see the LIT Strength Machine included on this list. I recently came across the LIT Strength Machine and was impressed by its sleek design and advanced features. However, I understand it's impossible to feature them all in one video.
Thanks for watching! It is definitely hard to include every machine on our list, and we try to only include machines that we've personally tested in our studio so we can give a real recommendation on them.
Hi guys.. great job on the vids! 😎.. After all of the ‘Google hammering’, I Had a look at your 2024 choices. Went front the Hydrow 0:03 to the Nordictrack, then the Proform and Aviron. There’s SO many products out there. I found the Hydrow nice but pricey. The Nordictrack seems like an attempt at Hydrow, which is fine, but I’ve seen elsewhere in other posts that there doesn’t seem to be much difference between level 1 and 26 resistance levels.. Bit of a deal breaker when you’re dropping this much coin on a machine like this. It seems they’ve focused more on the 22inch screen and Ifit content.. (whatever🙄).. Kinda got hung up between Proform and Aviron, notably the R10 and Impact. I love the Power series, but $$$.. I like the idea of a quiet operation, but not a deal breaker as we live in house noise wise and we usually have the music blasting, so..😂.. Also the folding option so we can wheel it away if we want. The hybrid models look really interesting just for the fact that it seems to give better resistance and a more realistic feel. I know there’s a bit of a price differential between the R10 and the Impact, but price aside; Your recommendations? Thanks in advance!
Thanks for watching! Between the ProForm R10 and the Aviron, we'd definitely recommend the Aviron. The ProForm is fine, and the folding mechanism is great but we typically recommend the R10 rower for beginners because the resistance isn't very consistent. During the recovery, the belt with go a little bit "limp" and lose resistance, which is a little bit frustrating. But if you're just starting out, that's a great option. If you're experienced and want something that is going to be consistent, go with the Aviron. Let me know if you have any other questions, thanks!
You name the assault air rower elite the most comfortable, but never exactly say why it’s better ergonomically than the others. Wider seat? More height? Better foot rests? More stable? What?
Great questions! The AssaultRower Elite has the most comfortable seat (in our opinion) out of all of these rowers. It's taller so it's easier to get on and off of, especially for people who may have joint issues. The handle and footboards are also built and placed appropriately. It is very stable but I wouldn't say it's any more stable than the C2 or the Hydrow. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions, thanks!
I have the new norditrack rw 900 but your heels are constantly coming out of your shoe on the rower.... does anyone know if their is a fix for this .... makes me not want to use the rower
are your shoes laced tightly? It's normal for heels to rock up a bit. People with great ankle flexion will have minimal ankle-rock, but people with just average to poor ankle flexion will have a natural heel rock.
The reviewers seemed struggle to explain the Waterrower Ergatta features. They seemed to downplay the "resistence" level. The resistence level is the best thing for the water rower or any rower, it's variable and dynamic. The user power level control the resistence level while rowing. The harder you drive, the harder the resistence. If it is too low, water rower has optional accessary to add to raise it. They also have the optional rail extension too. They should have mentioned it. The reviewers are correct about pull handle, smaller hands will have issue because it is not rounded. This is just me, the sound of magnetic is making me feel headache.
I have had some warranty issues with two of my exercise equipments that I purchased less than a year from receiving them. One company has technicians that they utilize to assess and repair. This was great and it was repaired promptly. The other company, expects the owner to disassemble the machine via instructional videos. This has not worked well at all! For me, this will be a critical factor in purchasing any future equipment. This is not usually mentioned in many reviews and I do understand that it may be difficult to obtain. However, it could be very beneficial to equipment owners who are not mechanically inclined. I will never again purchase equipment without this information.
Some constructive criticism: Sydney - you really should check some videos on how to row, and thus improve your own rowing experience (no insult intended).
Thanks for the feedback! You are absolutely right. Rowing is so technical, so I am constantly working on improving my form. I'm getting there slowly :)
After trying and buying a WaterRower im never going back to air, magnet or anything else for rowing. The sound of the water when you row is just too calming to use anything else. Now im just hoping someone will make a waterbike to replace my airbike so I can do all my cardio and not feel like I have to wear noise cancelling headphones while doing it.
I have several friends that have the concept 2. And don’t use them. That’s really ment as a training piece if equipment not really good for a home environment
Agreed, the C2 is the tried and true but the Assault is so durable and the seat is extremely comfortable. Tough decisions, let us know if we can help with any other questions.
Assault is good. There is a company that makes pads made to go on top of the c2 seat. They both have a similarly good rowing feel. Since c2 is less expensive, my take is go with the c2. I've used the Assault at my gym. Good product, comfy seat, I like the C2 display better (partly due to more familiarity with it).
I refuse to pay a subscription when there are many rowers that don't. Also, some of the rowers are just too expensive for what they are. I'm about to build a home gym and my top two are the Concept 2 which the one I used at work up until I retired. The other one is the Merach water rower. Possibly a clone of the Ergatta but about 1/5 the price.
Thanks for your feedback! We go back and forth on whether or not we want to add pricing to videos because brands often change them. We've found that we get more negative feedback from people when the price is wrong, compared to when we don't add the price, if that makes sense. We would love some honest feedback here if you don't mind. Would you find it more valuable to have a range of pricing like "$1200-1400" or would you just prefer the exact price? TIA!
@@TreadmillReviewGuru Hi Gurus. I’ve seen in other reviews “at the time of this video, this was priced at $x.” Also I have seen other say, “these usually go for this price but often are on sale for this price”. I know…. can’t please everyone :). Great reviews. Just the pricing. Even a description of the prices all together would be helpful. A range is fine, too. You can still have your affiliate links as always but it’s definitely too much hassle having to click each link to find each current price.
@@mark100177 Totally get that, thanks for your feedback, we really appreciate it and will do our best to incorporate this into future videos. Thanks for taking the time to help us out!
Concept 2 Rower is "surprisingly comfortable". Why would it surprise you that a company that has made rowing machines since 1976 can make them comfortable? I've rowed on these since the 1980s and have never been uncomfortable. That was a silly comment, as though you expected them to be uncomfortable.
Wow! At first I thought maybe you did a bit of audio editing. It took a second to realize that you were both talking in this video. That second voice, I initially thought was Kristin with a pitch shift slightly up. I didn’t realize that was Sidney for a second.
This video was rushed. They should have done more editing to it. Sidney was nervous and made some mistakes. But overall a great job. I’m sure she’ll do great in future videos as she gains more experience. Love this channel. You guys review the best gear.
Come back after 10 million meter and tell us how the cheaper holds up. Doubt you can get affordable replacement parts for every component at an affordable price. The monitor will not be replicated unless you swap for actual PM5. Also good luck selling for 90% of the original price. Other than that thy are identical lol
Warning! Warning! Warning! --Stay away from Nordic! I purchased an RW700 for my elderly mom, also with the white glove delivery and assembly. The first contact and purchase went perfectly, but that was it. Starting with the white glove delivery, they called the day before to reschedule, I was so mad because it was a gift! So they opted for a 7am delivery! Delivery day, birthday, they call and say they are outside and if I don't come now they will have to reschedule, so I race outside and find 3 hung over fat guys in a moving truck, all irritated because they have to assemble this thing! White glove delivery??? What part of white glove is this? Anyway, first rip off. Second, tried for a time to set up accounts, nobody for over two weeks to help initiate this. And finally, 3 weeks after the start of using, my elderly mom while using it the strap inside the spool came off! Wow, good thing we git the warranty right???? NO again! No calls answered, almost a ghost company. Long story short, Ill just say the machine is still inoperable, not working and we have been completely ripped. Couldn't even sell it to a sucker on Craigslist! I would absolutely run to any other rower! ***You have been warned***
Hydrow definitely and proudly pushes a social justice equity bent in their classes and emails. Be sure you’re aligned with their politics before buying! As for Nordic, I find the iFit rowing content to be anemic if your main interest is outdoor rows.
@@echomike5097 I don't think she was saying she is necessarily against equality, but rather that she was turned off by her workout machine being used as a platform. I agree. I don't want that bullshit coming through on the piece of equipment I'm using to exercise. I get enough of it everywhere else. I workout to escape not just opposing social and political views, BUT ALL VIEWS! I think her point was you get it whether you agree, disagree, want it, or don't want it.

@@norbarellis any exercise equipment will make noise in an apartment, it's just how the neighbors will react to it
It would have been nice to include the prices for these machines.
I have a question. Which rower has more resistance? Water with a max filled tank or magnetic on the highest setting?
Concept 2 ...Best machine ever.
Great list. One thing missed is that the Concept2 can be split in two pieces. When I originally bought mine several years ago I lived in a small apartment and actually kept mine in a closet. At the time it was the only substantial rower we could get away with in our space.

Which is the quietest for people who live in apartments, anyone???
The NordicTrack RW900, ProForm 750R, and ProForm Pro R10 are all extremely quiet and would work in an apartment.

Concept 2 is the best. You can get a mount and put your tablet on there for workouts. Save over a $1000 dollars without buying a rower with a monitor.

Delivery day, birthday, they call and say they are outside and if I don't come now they will have to reschedule, so I race outside and find 3 hung over fat guys in a moving truck, all irritated because they have to assemble this thing!
White glove delivery??? What part of white glove is this?
Anyway, first rip off.
Second, tried for a time to set up accounts, nobody for over two weeks to help initiate this.
And finally, 3 weeks after the start of using, my elderly mom while using it the strap inside the spool came off! Wow, good thing we git the warranty right???? NO again! No calls answered, almost a ghost company. Long story short, Ill just say the machine is still inoperable, not working and we have been completely ripped. Couldn't even sell it to a sucker on Craigslist!
I would absolutely run to any other rower!
***You have been warned***
What a bummer. Sorry that happened to you and your mom.
@@SilenceInTheBliss I just want everyone to know what a trash company and product this is, right down to the staff.
Concept2, there is no other rower for me.
Pretty lame they all want to get you on a subscription.
I am a bit concerned about the rowing skills of these two ladies, perhaps they should have people who actually know how to row to review the machines.
Hydrow definitely and proudly pushes a social justice equity bent in their classes and emails. Be sure you’re aligned with their politics before buying! As for Nordic, I find the iFit rowing content to be anemic if your main interest is outdoor rows.
Social justice equity? You mean equality? Surely every supports social justice and equality? I mean, if someone doesn’t, what does that make them?
In that case, I will pass on the hydrow thanks. C2 it is.
Thanks for the tip! I'll pass on it. Get enough of that bullshit everywhere else, damned if I want it during my workout!
What even is this comment? How can anyone be against equality? So random.
@@echomike5097 I don't think she was saying she is necessarily against equality, but rather that she was turned off by her workout machine being used as a platform. I agree. I don't want that bullshit coming through on the piece of equipment I'm using to exercise. I get enough of it everywhere else. I workout to escape not just opposing social and political views, BUT ALL VIEWS! I think her point was you get it whether you agree, disagree, want it, or don't want it.
Please be trained on how to rower before recommending products p
I'm 6 minutes in and on my 6th ad. Kindly f**k off with that, please and thanks.
Where’s the peloton?
It hasn't even shipped yet so we haven't tested it.
Should be in jail for its ridiculous price. Just buy a concept 2
Uggggggh, iFit is a scam!
What a scam video. 2 year old video retitled for 2024. Where is your red hat?
