Find The Best Rowing Machine For Your Budget Here - 2024
To save you the trouble of reading all my reviews within your chosen budget, here's a quick tip. If you have a budget of around a $1,000 you really can't go far wrong buying one of the most popular home rowing machines of all time - the Concept2 Model D. For just over a grand you'll get a rower that will last for years... and years... and then a few more on top of that! It has some great features. Gymnasiums, health resorts and rowing clubs all over the world love it, and so will you.
If your budget is lower, or you have more to spend, don't be put off by the staggering choice of models out there. I can help you find the answers to all your questions, and ensure you get the best model that will get you into the shape of your life. There is a huge range to meet the huge demand. You can spend anything from around $100 to well over $3,000 - so you can imagine the difference in quality and reliability.
However, buying the most expensive rower doesn't always guarantee you'll get a better machine. There's no point buying a top of the range model, if you only plan on using it two or three times a week. Likewise, it's false economy to go low if you intend to row everyday for an hour! It will let you down quicker than you think.

Quick Guide - Top Rowing Machine by Price
To save you time, here's a summary of some of the best machine's I've reviewed in the last two year - ordered by price bracket.
Best Rowing Machine Under $250
SUNNY RW5515
5.0![5.0 Stars](https://www.rowingmachine-guide.com/files/theme/images/Stars50.jpg)
A budget machine in every sense with few features to get excited about. But in it's favor, it's quite a sturdy machine that should last longer than most machines for the cost. It's a magnetic rowing machine so it's quieter than an air rower, but you might find the seat starts to squeak after regular use. But despite it's negatives, it could still get your heart rate up and help get you fit. Note, if you intend to use your rower more than 3 times a week I recommend you don't buy a model in this price range.
