The Concept2 RowErg with PM5 is the number one pick in this guide, listed at £990.00. It comes with 4.8 stars from 10,912 ratings and a Best Sellers Rank of 3rd in Rowing Machines. The three WaterRower Original Series listings in this guide show 402 ratings between them and sit at 216th. That is the gap the ranking is built on, and it is the one number here that is not shared across four different prices.

Two things on the page are worth reading before you buy. First, this is the top entry in a guide about water rowing machines, and Concept2 lists the resistance mechanism as Air, not water. Second, the listing contradicts itself on warranty: one bullet promises a '5-year frame warranty' while the specification field says '2 Year Manufacturer Guarantee'. The page also names the machine three ways — the model name is given as 'Modelo D', the model number as 2712, and the item type as the RowErg with PM5 in black. Everything on this page comes from that Amazon listing as it appeared, not from a machine we have rowed or measured ourselves.
