Method

How to read these rowing machine ratings

What the score means, and why it can differ from a guide or a review.

How we score →

One scale for every rower

Each model keeps the FitScore it earns in our best rowing machine guide (Performance 28%, Durability 22%, Comfort 17%, Practicality 11%, Features 11%, Affordability 11%), read from our database. The same weights for every model make the list sortable.

Guides use their own weights

A Best guide re-weights the same six categories for its situation (quiet rowing, tall users, small spaces…), so a model can rank higher there than on this list, or lower.

Specs from the listing

Resistance, levels, rated user weight and height, monitor and storage come from the Amazon US listing, completed from the maker only where the listing is silent. A missing chip means the spec is not stated.
