Customer Ratings & Reviews

Rower is relatively quiet, screen is large, and large and growing library of on-demand and live programs is wide-ranging. Highly recommend.

Excellent piece of equipment. Top quality and very user friendly

To be honest, it’s a little addicting. I liked it from the start and after almost a month of use I’ve found myself trying to squeeze in extra workouts. I’ve never been a fan of classes or instructor led fitness but the team they have leading the workouts does a great job of motivating, distracting when needed and entertaining. It’s an impressive piece of equipment, quality is great and it’s a solid, sleek build

I bought this as the Pelaton of rowers. It’s very sleek and stylish, and well made. Only upon receiving it did I find out it is completely unusable without the $40 monthly subscription. Nowhere in BestBuy or the Hydrow site do they fully make you aware of this - it’s buried in the FAQs. It literally does nothing without the online $ commitment. I’ve never seen this. Even a Pelaton bike is functional as a stationary bike without the service, you just don’t have access to the online classes, metrics, etc. And to be clear, I appreciate the online capabilities, and planned to use them. But this is a very young company and was unknown to me prior to BestBuy. If they happen to go out of business, which is a valid risk if their business model requires such a high fee (Pelaton now offers a $13 monthly fee) you will be stuck with a 200 lb paperweight you invested thousands of dollars into. That’s just too high of a risk. If they introduce the ability to use this as even a rudimentary rower without the monthly fee I would gladly keep it. But until such a time I would avoid the risk if I were you.

This machine is very easy to set up and use. It is extremely quiet when using if you set up Bluetooth headphones.

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

If you are exercising at home and are looking for a rowing machine, this is the best one out there. Yes it's expensive, and yes it requires a membership. But it is engaging and a lot of fun. I purchased it from BB because it was faster to receive than from the factory. I have had some wifi issues with it, but it has always been fixed with a reboot. More recent (march 2021 updates) on software seem to have resolved the problem. You need two people to assemble this. it's very heavy.

I have been using this Hydrow for 2 weeks now & it’s amazing. It’s quite useful as it keeps your body fit. If you’re looking for an equipment to tone up your body, this Hydrow will do its work immensely well.

I debated buying this for several months and decided to buy it with the black friday guarantee early November. The product is heavy and takes up a lot of space. However, it us a great purchase for incentivizing a workout. The membership isnt requires but does make it better. I find myself jumping on for a few minutes and deciding on a longer workout.

Well built rowing machine. The big screen and the workout contents keep you interested and not get bored after a period of having the machine (The contents require a membership fee). There is scope for improvements, wish we could compete locally against each other! (We could have a rowing league) and wish the smart watches heart rate monitor could connect with the hydrow. There are workouts other than rowing built in the content which is good. Overall a great work out and a good machine.

Best buy delivered it in two days which is amazing. I'm obsessed with my Hydrow. I've used it every day since receiving it. I love the Hydrow community (FB group), the rewards/gifts you get from Hydrow when hitting milestones...and the great results from this great workout. Our entire family uses it. I would give this 10 stars if I could!

I have been debating what to buy for home cardio, and I love that rowing recruits so many more muscles than running or spinning. This is a quality rower that looks good. It went together easily. The programming is fun and I’m working through a 6 week program that is really improving my performance. Live programming and on-demand rows searchable by length, difficulty, location, instructor and more. Highly recommended.

I really enjoy the videos that Hydrow play and its very current. The trainers in the video draws you in as if your rowing in real time and not boring. If you don't feel like rowing they have yoga videos also. Just tilt the monitor and your on to floor exercises. Personally, the monthly subscription is pricey, but overall I enjoy this machine.

Hydro has no peers in rowers in my opinion. The seat moves effortlessly and I am a big dude. Design is breathtaking and the monthly subscription has wonderful instructors taking you through every step. As for Best Buy they truly were the Best Buy at least 300 bucks less than any other competitor. Through the came to assemble it were charismatic hard-working and a whole lot of fun. Great experience

Easy to use. Setup was a breeze. Love the Hydrow! Low Impact workout. Best Buy was great to work with.

Very fast delivery & set up from Best Buy. Rower is very smooth and quiet, with a beautiful 22-inch screen.

This is a very well-thought-out machine. I would recommend getting at a minimum a 1-year subscription. I have just been following the recommended workouts in order and I find them just right and interesting. Besides a well-built machine, the workouts are what takes this to five stars. After using it for 3 weeks I now understand why people buy these kinds of machines. I don't think you can go wrong making an investment in a Hydro.

Easy to use and a great workout. Also looks super slick in the house. Highly recommend!

Easy to assemble. Sturdy. Easy to use. Hydrow team keeps you motivated. Full cardio workout. No regrets!

Great way to keep accountable for routine rowing. The video experience is engaging and fun. It still functions but feels lackluster without the subscription, which is expensive, so factor that into your decision to purchase.
