Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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!

Fun easy to use. Tends to not shut off after use. Fits well in limited space.

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.

Excellent product. Easily foldable, and don't use a lot of space

We 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.

Love this.. beginner rower and so far so good. Fit included and trainers are great. Worth the money and no need to get fancy version, this one does the job.

Fantastic machine. Lots of videos online on how to use it to best benefit your goals. Smooth operation and little noise.

I have been building my home gym during Covid and this is my new favorite piece of equipment! It's not as loud as the Concept 2 (which has a crazy long waiting list just to order) I like that have the option to fold it up to save space, as it is quite a large piece of equipment. It comes with a small tablet that is mediocre. It doesn't stay charged for too long but it's not really a problem. iFIT software is just okay. Overall I am happy with my purchase. BB had the best price of any competitors.

I purchased this after returning the ProForm 750R rower due to a faulty flywheel, and so far so good with this machine. First off, I really enjoy shopping with BestBuy. And I appreciate their price match guarantee. This was more expensive than the price I paid for the ProForm 750R, but I hope it ensures it holds up better than the ProForm did. The tablet that comes with the machine is actually handy and can be used as a tool for non-bike related activities as well! You do need to download the iFit app onto it, which is simple enough but seemed odd. I assumed it would be pre-loaded. The iFit 1yr subscription came with. The tablet can sit on the ledge of the control panel or fit into the holder above the control panel. The clip that holds the tablet above the control panel is removable, which is nice if you store the rower folded up. BIGGEST COMPLAINT: To allow for the tablet’s audio to play through the control panel speakers, you HAVE to hard wire it with your own Aux cord. Plus, the Aux input into the control panel gets blocked by the tablet of it’s sitting on the ledge (as opposed to in the holder above the control panel). Also, even with the tablet on fill volume and the control panel on full volume, it is still not loud enough to overcome any surrounding noise. I recommend plugging the tablet into a separate speaker if you want to hear the trainers from any iFit rowing class. You’ll want one that can really provide some good volume output to hear anything, especially if it’s a class on the water which tend to make it even harder to hear. The tablet speaker is pretty useless on its own. It seems worse than most cell phones in terms of volume capability. However, it’s a very solid machine. The fold-up feature is great, the initial set-up is fairly easy (although somewhat heavy and awkward getting out of the box). Once you get past the design flaw of the speaker issues, it’s a great/cheaper option to the RW900. Bottom line....it’s not 100% perfect design-wise, but I do highly recommend!

Fairly easy to put together. Use your own tools. Went to set up ifit membership and was not able to due to the pad it came with not being compatible with Ifit. Tried setting membership on phone and ifit website activation code is no longer supported. Seems to be overall pretty good product

Nice Rower, folds up great...however, there is no difference in the resistance 1-26, which means you're really not getting an efficient workout. If you're a man, this thing is like rowing air. Tried to get tech service with the chat feature, told to call...then calling I was told since I didn't pay for the best buy warranty they're done....It comes with a 10 year warranty, 2 for parts and 1 labor. Hasn't been but 9 months :( I will update after I actually call my local store and see about taking this bad boy in so I can get an actual hard workout!

Great price from Best Buy with free delivery. The average mind can put this machine together. The iFit Compass is a great additional tool for workouts, also. The only problem is that the minimum resistant setting is still too high. It does have magnetic & manual options but even when they're both at minimum is still delivers a lot of resistance. There is NOT a notable difference with the 26 resistant settings. They may well have an option for medium, more & a lot! It's too bad! Otherwise it's a great machine. Returning it to test drive some other options.

This is a nice machine for the money. It is not quite as smooth as a Concept 2 rower but it does the job. The controls/screen take a little bit of getting used to, especially for when you want to do a workout on your own vs. one on the iFit app. The iFit app has surprisingly been pretty useful. The owner includes a 1-year membership and we have been using the classes on it nearly every week. It was very easy to put together and also easy to fold up for storage.

This is a really good rower for the money . I was sble to get the rower on clearance and only paid $350.00. The 30 preset workouts are a little hard to follow at first. But oversall its a good rower, i like both the air and magnetic settings.

This Nordic Track rower would be nice - not great, not bad but perfectly adequate - if it wasn't for the loud clicking noise that gets louder if you increase the resistance. Video here: https://i.imgur.com/YKqpThG.mp4 I took off the sides of the wheel to find that one of the plastic fans inside is warped and thus scrapes against a magnet. Most annoying thing is that there are a ton of people online complaining about this, so it appears Nordic Track's Quality Control leaves something to be desired.

This provides a great supplementary workout! Good for those with bad knees, it has low to no impact. Make sure you use proper form, this has helped my Posture issues and lower back pain. This does require a good amount of space when fully extended, but folds up easily. I don’t appreciate the subscription model for classes but you don’t need it! Basically was given a free android tablet.

Perfect rower for exercise. It folds up and fits nicely in the corner of our house when not in use. The display extension for the tablet seems to be the only inconvenience when it comes to making it compact. I suggest extending the warranty offered by NordicTrack. I say this because they offer no cost repairs, and only after a few months, I can see that the wear and tear due to use will need to be addressed within the next year.

This is a great rower, and accommodates multiple people’s sizes and intensities very well. It is easy to fold and store, but I could see someone with less strength finding it too heavy to make use of that feature. The reason for not giving this all 5 stars is that I wish I didn’t have to get the included tablet. I’ve been able to use the included iFit membership through the app on my iPhone, leaving me with a tablet that has no purpose.

The rower is great. The left foot pedal comes out of place but I placed a piece of plastic behind it which holds it in place just fine. Other than that the rower is great. My only real complaints are with I-fit. The rower was supposed to come with it free for a year, but Ifit said this offer was no longer valid for this model. They did offer their service free for a month, but the product was advertised to come with a year membership.
