ProRower H2O Home Series Rowing Machine

I had wanted a rower for a long time having heard alot about its benefits but the original water rower was way too costly for my tight budget. I know that many people would reccomend paying a higher price and getting the original water rower, which is great I agree but there is no way I could ever afford the cost. This for me was a lower priced more affordable option to be able to have the water resistance rower in my home. From my first go I had no trouble getting correct form and rythm. I loved it. Quiet, smooth, fluid. You need to make sure you keep you keep your back straight and keep it a fluid motion. There are quite a few excellent video's that can show you proper form. I found this to be the best choice for at home fitness. I have tried them all. Treadmill, tread climber, elliptical, recumbent bike ... none of them were good for me. I am physically disabled, limited stamina, Bad back, bad knees, painful joints and muscles. But I find I am able to use the rower fairly we... Read more

I did weeks of research. I narrowed it down to a couple, and then I got a great deal saving $200 through Amazon. A consultant from the manufacturer informed me about the deal. It came quickly with free shipping, and I put it together in about an hour. The workout is great.

I wanted to love this product. In many ways it lived up to my expectations on quality but fell short most noticiably the monitor and the resistance of the flywheel. I was shopping for a used Waterrower on Craigslist and came across the H2O 750 at a great price. I impulsively purchased it with free shipping-saving over a price of a used Waterrower-I don't think I made the best choice. I gave this four stars because I believe most rowers are looking for a quality machine and can be satisfied with the monitor. I personally can only give it three stars and hence I gave it a four star rating based on what I believe most people are looking for. An experienced, competitive rower, used to working out on the Concept 2 or Waterrower will be disappointed. The light resistance is not as much of an issue since the harder you pull, the greater the resistance. The swishing smooth action is nice but it lighter than the Concept 2 even at a damper setting of 3. My main beef with the unit is while the m... Read more

Having used the NordicTrack Rowing Machine until it wore out - decided to try the H2O ProRower RX-750. Received and set it up without incident - well packed and easy to follow instructions. They even supplied chlorine tablets, tools and if necessary a plastic shim to align the blades. Unlike most computers, this one has a very large display and is easy to use. Filling the tank was a snap, they provided both a funnel and siphon unit. What a smooth ride - the H20 ProRower is the best IMHO

I had two concerns about buying a rowing machine: first that I weigh over the 250 pound limit of most rowers out there, and second that I live in a second story apartment so noise is definitely a factor. I was pleased to find this machine on a good sale, and when it arrived I was able to put it together without much trouble (the instructions weren't the clearest, but it was pretty common sense). After having used it several times now, I can safely say that this rower put all my worries to rest! It is a very sturdy machine, comfortable and easy to use. And the only noise comes from the blades pushing the water, so it is very relaxing and no complaints from the downstairs neighbors. The monitor is easy to read, and as an added perk, it comes with a heart rate chest strap. I used to enjoy rowing at the gym, and now I am excited to have a quality machine in my own home.
