The top rated rowing machines are made by manufacturers with years of experience in the commercial market. One of the best mahines available today is no doubt the Concept2 - visit any gym and you'll most likely see one of these classic rowers. Gyms use them for one reason - they deliver results year-in, year-out with very little trouble.

The Concept2 is the result of a great design due to research and the desire to build the best rowing machine in the world. To read what we think of this top rated rower see our Concept2 review.
 

There are a growing number of rowers who highly rate the magnetic rowers from LifeCore. We loved the R100 rower with its sturdy feel and the benefit of magnetic resistance which lends itself to some great training preset programs. You can see our full report here - LifeCore R100 rower review.

And of course we couldn't talk about top rowing machines without a mention of the Waterrower. These beautifully crafted rowers are very popular for home use as many love the 'swish' of the water in the drum. They not only feel great to use they look great in any home.
