GBGreat workouts and fantastic customer service 1. Quick shipping and delivery. 2. Free bleach tabs 3. Helpful emails 4. The Rower - I've used a magnetic rower for a number of years and find the WaterRower to be much more effective in helping me increase intensity through minor positioning adjustments as well as a decent size monitor that can be read easily and provides all the detail I need. 5. WaterRower TV - wish I could get it on my 65" Roku TV but on my iPAD I get a wide range of work outs while going down a river. Which, when added to music really improves my workout. There are also workouts for swimming, running, and biking on this app. 6. Thoughtful staff - I ordered something I didn't need and they reached out to confirm and explain. Saved over $100 right there.

GBLow impact full body workout Terrific low impact, low cardio, but full body workout! The chair feels a bit hard to sit on as you approach an hour on the rower, but the overall feeling is very natural as you might expect. If you close your eyes, you could easily imagine yourself in a boat out on the open water. Adding the rower to my workout routine allows me to work off stress while giving my knees a rest on the days I'm otherwise not running.

GBWorks great, looks great, made in America! Ordering was easy. Delivery was prompt. Assembly was as expected... I'm not especially skilled with mechanical things but had no trouble putting it together. Best of all, it provides a great workout and is American made with high quality parts and appearance.

GBQuality product from box to assembly to rowing From box to rowing. The box and the packaging of the rower was perfect. The parts packing opened without a knife. All parts were well packaged. Assembly. The best and easiest assembly of any product I bought in 67 years. All parts fit perfect and the assembly took minutes not hours. The rower is what I expected after doing research and it works like a well oiled machine. The rower looks like a piece of quality furniture. It blows all other so called rowers out of the water. The others are huge, bulky and take up too much space. The only drawback (have to as to not drool over it) is the siphon pump. It could be better to match the quality of the rower but its not like you fill it with water every day/week/month. The rower glides so easy but yet has ample resistance to accomplish the workout. Very glad I bought this unit.

GBGreat 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.
