You will also notice that we have included links to the price of each rowing machine. The price, however, was not a factor in computing the overall rating. Why? It’s quite simple. We did not want a high-performing product to be rated low for the sole reason that it is expensive. In the same manner that we did not want a lousy product to lead the top best list simply because it is the cheapest. When it comes to ranking the best, we actually mean the best.

Based on popular brands and models – See Below Our Top Reviews!

If there’s a particular brand or model that you would like to check out, just move your mouse over our “By Brand” tab in the main menu above.

Concept 2 Rowing Machine

Concept2

With reviews for models D and E – both top-of-the-line ergometers, and often referred to as the golden standard of rowing machines. How can both be so alike yet distinct from each other?

Stamina ATS Air Rower 1399

Stamina

With reviews for models X and 1399 – model 1399 is a bestseller among beginning rowers and has somehow earned the reputation as the cheaper Concept2 D. The comparison may not be all that justified, but what’s true is that model 1399 is also an air resistance type of rower, and it costs barely one-third of Concept2’s price tag. Model X, on the other hand is an upgrade of model 35-1405 and 35-1402 featuring the same inclined seat rail but with pivoting footrests and a fresher look.

Proform rowing machine

Proform

Proform gives you the best budget options for both the magnetic (440R) and air (550R) resistance types. They’re both compact and easy to stow away. From 440R’s soft-to-touch handles to its comfortable seat and pivoting pedals, it has “ergonomic” written all over it. Plus, it operates very quietly, its obvious edge is that, like Concept2, it has adjustable damper settings.

We continually enrich our content, so you can look forward to finding more top brands and models in the future.
