FAQs
Frequently asked question

Is the WaterRower worth the investment compared to other rowing machines?

The WaterRower stands out for its handcrafted hardwood construction, whisper-quiet water resistance, and timeless design that complements any home. Unlike plastic-framed alternatives, it's built to last decades with minimal maintenance. The S4 monitor tracks all key metrics, and the authentic rowing feel is hard to match. If you value quality craftsmanship, aesthetics, and a smooth workout experience, it's absolutely worth the price.

What is the warranty and return policy for the WaterRower?

The WaterRower typically comes with a 5-year warranty on the frame and 3 years on mechanical components, covering manufacturing defects. Returns are accepted within 30 days of delivery in original condition. Because the machine is handcrafted and shipped carefully, please inspect upon arrival and report any damage promptly. Contact our support team for full warranty details or to initiate a return.

What wood finishes are available for the WaterRower?

The WaterRower is available in several stunning hardwood finishes, including Vintage Oak, Natural Oak, Cherry, and Walnut. Each finish highlights the natural grain and beauty of real sustainably sourced wood. The variation in finish allows you to choose a model that best complements your home décor, making the WaterRower as much a piece of furniture as a fitness machine.

How loud is the WaterRower during use?

The WaterRower is remarkably quiet. Its water flywheel resistance mimics the sound of real rowing on water — a gentle, soothing whoosh rather than a harsh mechanical noise. It's suitable for apartments, shared living spaces, or early-morning workouts without disturbing others. Most users find the sound relaxing rather than disruptive, which is one of the machine's most appreciated features.

What does the S4 Performance Monitor track?

The S4 monitor displays key workout metrics including stroke rate, heart rate, distance, calories burned, and elapsed time. It features a large, easy-to-read display and offers multiple workout programs to keep training varied and goal-focused. The monitor connects to a chest strap heart rate monitor and is compatible with select fitness apps, making it a capable tool for tracking your fitness progress.

How do I store the WaterRower when not in use?

The WaterRower is designed for convenient storage — it stands upright vertically on its own footprint, taking up roughly the space of a dining chair. A built-in handle makes repositioning easy. No need to drain the water tank before storing. This makes it an excellent choice for smaller homes or rooms where space needs to serve multiple purposes.
