Why we picked it
Anyone who wants the industry-standard rower that will still be working (and still worth money on resale) 15 years from now, with data comparable to every gym and CrossFit box.
What to know before you buy
Nearly $1,000 for a machine with no screen, no built-in classes and a hard seat that many owners end up padding; the air fan is also noticeably louder than a magnetic rower.
