Customer Ratings & Reviews

I loved the original Hydrow and gave it up when I moved. The Wave has become the perfect alternate. I’m so happy rowing again. It’s just small enough to fit. Rowing feels just as good. Smaller screen seems more fit to size too. Seen comments about a noisy seat but I haven’t been able to tell (I do use AirPods). The Wave has been a homerun and getting me to exercise once again.

The Hydrow wave has been great! And don’t let anyone fool you into thinking you need to get their subscription. I’m sure their classes are great. However, I have been using the Just Row feature with Apple Fitness just great. I also subscribed to Dark Horse Rowing on YouTube for help with technique. The Hydrow wave is an excellent machine and paired with Geeksquads 5 year protection it’s unbeatable.

My purchase of the Hydrow Wave was one of the smartest purchases I’ve ever made. This machine gives you a total body workout, while being completely low impact. I hate exercising and never thought I’d find anything that I truly enjoy, but I was wrong! This is my new favorite thing to do!

Not worth the money. Poor quality. After 10 simple workouts the nylon cord is failing.

I love this. One of my favorite purchase ever. It fits in my apartment nicely. It is quite heavy near the front but it has wheels so it will roll. I recommend getting a gym mat to put underneath so it doesn't damage your floor. The ride is very smooth and quiet (just make sure you clean it often). It's also very easy to put together and transport if moving. Love the Hydrow library and athletes! Wonderful workout. Highly recommend. I wish I would have waited to buy it in one of the new funky colors!

This rower was a breeze to put together, and looks really nice and easy to use. The only downside, I was never able to use it. The rower just would not, completely, turn on. You would flip the switch, hear it warm up, and then no sound…no visual display on the monitor. You could tell it was powered, because the Bluetooth light kept blinking in it…the monitor just did not turn on and I couldn’t choose any resistance options. It glides well. The row handle is comfortable in your hand…mine just didn’t seem to work(either a faulty unit, or my outlet couldn’t support it…though it supports other appliances/electronics). I did reach out for support, but unfortunately none of the troubleshooting worked. Customer service was very helpful with my return. It’s huge, and I can’t return it on my own, so they came to pick it up and brought it back to the store for a refund. Fabulous customer service. Maybe next time for the rower.

Pros: Was able to assemble myself with attached instructions. High quality machine with smooth operation. High quality monitor. Better than most machines I have tried at gyms. Seems sturdy and that it will last. Comfortable to use if you are wearing shoes. Beginner videos of proper technique are good. Cons: Requires a $40+tax monthly subscription to be able to use Hydrow screen/content. Unable to play your own music or content on screen. I am not sure if the machine will show your stats without the subscription. Also I have tried maybe 10 videos and mostly find the trainers not engaging. The trainers mostly talk about random non-interesting stuff (for example one ranted about a New Zealand rugby team for 20 minutes) with some occasional instructions. Also they are rowing on real boats mostly and not the machine, and as a beginner I would appreciate being able to mirror on the machine. I don't think the subscription is worth it for the quality of the content so far. Overall: seems like great machine/hardware with some lacking on the side of the app content/software.

Super quiet, unlike Concept. Great workout routines online. My rowing strokes have improved dramatically.

I love this rower! It is easy to use, gives me a full workout and I am starting to see positive results.

Excellent rower. Youre getting what you paid for. The subscription is expensive but all of the instructors have been awesome so far. This is for home workout enthusiasts that plan to use it multiple times a week.

Easy to install, easy to use and easy to mantained. Great purchase.

Absolutely the best work out product on the market for complete body enrichment!! Great company and workout program experiences. Highly recommend for all ages. I’m in my seventies and feel my youth is returning!!!

The size, price and performance is as advertised. I have a friend who has the bigger (and more expensive one), and he said he saw very little difference. If anything if you have a smaller area, this would be perfect for you. I personally only have experience with this one, and I love it. I would recommend it.

Excellent workout. Enjoy the goals and guided rows. Bought 1 yr subscription and am happy so far. Logged over 150* meters in 1st 2 months. Cod not justify the 1K difference in price on original Hydro.

I've never owned a rowing machine prior to purchasing the Hydro rower. Did plenty of research on the different types and manufacturers prior to purchase and have been using it every day for over a month now. Love it, love the wealth of videos for rowing, yoga, strength and posture workouts for on-going training on technique and motivation best practices while "on" lakes, rivers, etc...beautiful settings. I love having this machine available to me in my home where it's clean, safe, and convenient to use any time of the day or night. I wish we had a river to row on!!

Honestly, this is a great rower, Ive rowed on a few others and theyre nice but the hydrow wave is such a nice aetheticly pleasing machine. Thatvworks great. I ve never had an issie and would highly recommend. Very smooth and quiet!

Easy to use, great product, great classes, and I could not have asked for a better installation experience provided by Best Buy.

Amazing! I actually look forward to working out again!

I’m really pleased with my purchase of this item! Very easy set up and to use.

The interactive features and scenic rows make workouts enjoyable. It’s compact, stylish, and perfect for home fitness enthusiasts.
