How it's going to work:
- Every few minutes, we're going to release more inventory.
- Shortly, the button below will turn back to yellow (unless we sell out).
- At that point, try adding it to your cart again.
Pro Tip: If that works, checkout as fast as you can. It won't be reserved until you are in checkout. Good luck!

Quality4 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5We just got it and we have been using it almost everyday. 1 Year ifit membership was a great bonus. I didn’t purchase any warranty with it but I hope I will have no issues with it. So far so good.

All the best features when compared.
|Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.Features
Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5All the best features when compared to the other Nordictrack rowers. It is easy assemble, folds up for storage and transporting, easy to learn and use, reasonably priced, and the tablet is separate. The separate tablet is the best part. You can download apps to it and take it with you anywhere. If you understand programming or know someone who does you could wipe the CPU and load what you want to it. It's my 1st time owning a rower but feel like I got the best option available, better then the 600 hands down.

Good workout, functional app
|Posted .Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality4 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5Seems a solid machine. I've been using it for a few weeks now and have been really happy with the workout I'm getting. The iFit app is clunky, which is a bummer, but the actual workouts once you get going are great, and the tablet does sync with the machine nicely so all your stats are tracked and easily accessible. Overall, it's a good rower, and I think I would prefer this one at this price point over the pricier options.

Glad I bought from Best Buy and not NordicTrack
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality4 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5NordicTrack Rower is just what I was looking for. This has the iFit program on the tablet which has the teacher led workouts as well as the nature views. It has things that multiple people would like. It is quiet enough to not disturb people in the next room and you can still have a conversation while using the machine. Best Buy was able to beat the price direct from NordicTrack and the delivery was friendly and Covid 19 safe.

Like the rower font like the tabley
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality4 out of 5Value3 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5I like the rower, set was easy enough and I have not had any issues with the rower itself. The tablet that came with the rower is not the highest quality, if as going buy this again I would by the bad egg l with no tablet and purchase one separately. I have been using iFit and it makes towing in the basement more enjoyable

Buyer beware
|Posted .Features
Quality4 out of 5Value3 out of 5Ease of Use2 out of 5The rower is just okay. The iFit application is just a waste and anyone buying the more expensive model for the larger screen is wasting their money. The only good thing is that it's sturdily built and fairly quiet. The pull handle is too low so it hits your knees and your toes strap in too close to the pull handle. I was going to return it after two days until I found out what they would charge me for freight and the restocking charge. My recommendation is to try it before you buy it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendFeatures

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: 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: QuestionIs this the same as a RW500. is the RW850 a rebranded model made especially for Best Buy? What is it missing/have in addition to the Rw500? Does it come with the display. Does Best-Buy include the 1 year I-fit membership for the RW200 and RW850?
Asked by Confused.
- A:Answer It is the RW500. I just purchased realizing that the RW850 is only marketed in the UK and AUS.
Answered by Ivorymelon
Q: QuestionWhat are the dimensions of the box(es) this is packaged in? Trying to determine if it will fit in my SUV since Beat Buy does not deliver to my area.
Asked by Ckm.
- A:Answer Dimensions! (Just unloaded this from my Chevy Bolt hatchback): 25.75"H x 22.5"W x 46"L. It was a tight squeeze to get it through my hatchback gate. It would have been easy if I had tipped it on its side, but since I could carry it upright with a little shoving, I honored the "This side up" indicators.
