Awesome rower!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent product! I got it on sale for 799.99 but it also included a 200$ Best buy gift card so basically made it 599.99 and it was definitely money well spent. Setup was simple but I wouldn’t say easy. It takes time and focus. Might be somewhat challenging for someone who isn't used to building things. Other than that the machine is amazing it works perfectly and folds away easily. My purchase came with a free 1 year I fit membership and im loving it. Trainers are motivating and there Re plenty of classes. The free tablet that comes with it isn't great and was very sluggish at first. My solution to this which I recommend to everyone is to force stop and disable all the apps installed on it except for the iFit app. If you are in the market for a rower this is a great choice.

Fun Rower, But Lacks Resistance Unless You Hack
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We've had this rower for quite some time now. I do like the iFit app and the programs on it. Note, if the rower doesn't turn off it's probably because you left the device connected to the rower (I use an iPad). Be sure to kill the app when done. The biggest complaint I have with this rower is the resistance. There simply wasn't any change between 1 and 26. After searching/reading reviews on Reddit and YouTube, it turns out to be a quality control issue. The magnet simply isn't close enough to the flywheel. So I tore the thing apart and placed a bar magnet on top of that (see pictures and notice initial gap). Now you can feel a significant (well, maybe modest) difference between 1 and 26. You can't really notice differences between successive levels, but at least I finally have a sense of low, medium and high!

Best rower on the market
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I made a good choice with this machine. It is very smooth and I appreciate the tablet with ifit app. It keeps you involved while watching real life scenery from a rowers POV of the water. The machine feels commercial gym quality and wasnt difficult to put together from unboxing.

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionIs the subscription service necessary for use like with Hydrow? Or are there workouts that don't require the iFit?
Asked by ihaveaquestion.
- A:Answer No, you don't have to use iFit to use the machine. You can just row on your own...or we have been watching YouTube on the tablet to follow rowing instructors there. It's just a normal tablet, you can use for surfing web etc. When you do connect the iFit app to the rower though it controls the tension settings for you which is pretty nice.

Q: QuestionThe description refers to it as the RW200 but under the warranty info it refers to it as the RW500? The website says it's the RW850 in the title. The photos look like it's the RW500 though. I am thoroughly confused!
Asked by darthvedder321.
- A:Answer I strongly suspect that the model number RW850 is incorrect. I can only find this model for sale in the UK and AUS. It does not appear on NordicTrack's US website, but is on their UK website. https://www.nordictrack.co.uk/rowing-machines/nordictrack-rw850-rower

Q: QuestionCould you tell me the difference in features on the RW 200 compared to the RW 500 model? Thanks
Asked by Mark2021.
- A:Answer Mark2021 We appreciate your interest in our rowers. The NordicTrack RW500 Rower has a 5” Backlit Display to keep track of your workout stats with readouts that include watts, strokes per minute, total strokes, time, calories, distance, and 500 m split. The RW200 is still a great machine, but it has a smaller display and a slightly smaller flywheel size and weight than the RW500. We are here to help if you have more questions. Thanks! - ProForm

Q: QuestionDoes it come with the 10" tablet like on Nodictrack website?

Answered by JenC
Q: QuestionWhat product support do you provide when the rower starts making horrible squeaking a squealing noises. Would LOVE to hear the response.
Asked by FrustratedOWNER.
- A:Answer Good luck getting NT to fix it. If you want to DIY you’ll need a 22mm crank puller and a 9/16 washer. Pull off the wheel, carefully move the tension arm, remove the Allen bolts holding the magnet arm in, put the washer on the axle of the magnet arm and then test to see if it now has enough clearance to not rub the wheel.

Q: QuestionHello - I'm wondering if the 250 lb weight is a 'hard' limitation; I'm currently at 265 and losing weight but will be awhile until I get to 250 lb. Thanks much! Mark
Asked by Mark.
- A:Answer MagicMarker3927 Hi there! Our maximum weight capacity is the highest weight we have run our quality management testing on this equipment. This rower may handle a higher weight successfully. However, this is the highest capacity we will warrant. Therefore, if this machine is used above the maximum weight capacity recommendation and damage occurs, the warranty may become void. If you have further questions, email us at ce@NordicTrack.com. Thanks - NordicTrack
