NordicTrack - RW200 Rower - Black/Gray

I have had this machine since Sept 2020 and have had to relace two major components. One was the screen as it stopped workimg completely. The second was the pull strap which just snapped today during workout. The cost to teplace it was $80. The machine also squeeks very loud when pulling.

I’ve had the rower for a little over a month. I started with the trial ifit membership and one of the reasons I chose this rower, was the ability to use a guided workout app, or not. I like the beginner workouts because they teach you proper form and get a “feel” for the machine and your skill level (mine is super beginner). Trial is now over and I have not signed up to continue because I have acclimated to the machine and have found several great rowing workouts (for beginners) on the internet. I give this rower 5 stars because: 1. Great value for the price - I’m not trying to be a pro rower. 2. Use it with or without an app (monthly fee) 3. Easy set up/start up - no rocket science required. 4. Folds in half; compact for storing. 5. Batteries or plug in.

Had ours a few years now and the still works pretty well, the resistance settings feel like they are out of whack, but it stil gets the job done.

Quiet and smooth operation. Easy to put together and can be folded if needed

Recently purchased this rower from my local Best Buy store. I was more leaning into purchasing a more high end rower, such as a Concept rower, but decided to give this one a try. The price is what drew me in. I could not pass this up. I figured I’d get it and add the 5 year warranty, and still get a better deal out of this than getting a Concept 2. I’ve had nothing but positive experience with Best Buy and their Geek Squad service, so I was sold. After about a week of using this rower, I could not believe how well built this machine is. It’s heavy, but that also means it’s sturdy. I was a bit skeptical because I’ve never thought an electronics store could sell high quality fitness equipment. I use it once a day, 6 days a week for 30 min. I have zero complaints. When I do adjust the air intake it does get a bit noisy but I can overlook that, especially since I blast my music anyways. I highly recommend this machine but more importantly, get this machine from Best Buy. Buy their protection plan; you’ll be glad you did.

This rower seems great. Fairly easy to set up, would advise having a second person around to help. You also need a socket wrench to tighten, besides the supplied tool. I say "seems great" because I only got to use it once before I fractured my wrist while hiking. But...I got a good workout the one time I used it. You need the app to unlock the rower with iFit, but you can cancel your subscription if you do not want to pay the monthly fee. May be an app issue but I have not been able to get any rowing workout videos to load on my iPhone 11 Pro. Another reason I cancelled the monthly plan. Might just be my phone. You'll have to try it yourself. But the app and the rower do seem to sync up well together once you get them connected.

This is a great rower - I have it in my bedroom, it folds up into a corner and is easy to roll out and use, very simple. It is quiet so I can watch TV while I row. I just use the simplest screen - distance, time, watts etc, so it is fine. I didn't want to pay for a "Peloton" style training screen, and this is perfect for that. I bought it without the workout subscription, which I don't need, and was glad not to spend the money. Really well made. I weigh 250 lbs and it is fine, hopefully it helps me lose some weight!

... if you're willing to pay. It's stable, has plenty of features (albeit SUPER basic without iFit) and collapses to a decent size. All the reviews saying "there isn't enough resistance" obviously don't know how to use it. There are two "options": wind resistance (which is really weak) and magnetic resistance, which at the strongest setting is like trying to pull the Titanic through sand. Keep in mind the magnetic part only works when it's plugged in. Build quality is acceptable, assembly was easy even though I kept getting distracted. The only reason this got 4 out of 5 stars is simply because the ledge to hold the tab/phone/screen is way too small for new age devices. My Tab S5e with keyboard case doesn't fit unless I take the keyboard off, and then it has a tendency to move on the hard pushes. If there was a way I could purchase a standard screen to swap out the boring one, I would do it in a heartbeat.
