My Second WaterRower I bought my first WaterRower in 1992 and used it for 30 years until the tank began leaking. After a number of unsuccessful attempts to repair the leak, including using the factory repair kit, I bought and installed a new tank. Over the next two years and many efforts, I was unable to reassemble the rower because one small element on the frame wouldn't join. After trying to fix it for months while watching my fitness level steadily decline, I bought a new rower a few weeks ago and suffice to say I'm very pleased with the design and quality of the new unit. The only decline in overall quality that I've noticed is that while the exposed wooden edges on my old machine were nicely rounded over, the edges on the new machine still have raw corners . It's a small thing though, and doesn't detract from the rower's overall excellent quality.

Great Product at a fair price Great Product at a fair price I got the Oak Water Rower, and it wasn't that hard to put together at all. My only mistake was overfilling the water so when I put it upright for storage it started to leak. (This isn't a problem with the correct amount of water - but the instructions about filling it could have a better warning. There's a sticker on the side for the max level, which is about 1/2 filled). It looks great even when you're not using it. Its relatively quiet, so I can watch a program while exercising. The computer shuts itself off after a few minutes of inactivity, but it seems like pressing the power button to turn it off just clears it rather than turning it off.

Squeaks and monitor malfunction fixed! My WaterRower was squeaking offensively and the S4 monitor malfunctioning after about 10 minutes of rowing. The service desk at WaterRower was patient in the back and forth helping me diagnose the problem. They prescribed the correct parts (sensor and sensor disk) and gave me links to be able to order them. Everything went as flawlessly as you could want and my WaterRower is perforning without any glitches. Now the only issue is my performance as a rower!!

High Quality easy to build All I can say is what fantastic craftsmanship. If you're the type of person always complaining that everything is made like crap today and want to buy American made well then .... Here's your chance. This rower is not only built like a tank but it's easy to assemble. I'm new to rowing and what a great way to have a near full body work out. You can't beat this rower for the price and so glad to by made in America.

The folks at Waterrower were fantastic… The folks at Waterrower were fantastic when my 15+ old rower sprang a leak! For the epoxy fix to getting her back to action…they stayed on the line with me, helped me with exactly what I needed, and sent me the videos needed to re-engage my rower. Now if I can only find the little part (or get the schematic) to reconnect my monitor. Still looking…but at least I can row!
