Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Sunny Health & Fitness Premium Water Rowing Machine sits second in this guide at £506.10. It is a water-resistance rower with a 16-blade tank, pivoting pedals, an LCD monitor, a listed maximum user weight of 135 kg, and free access to the SunnyFit app that the listing says carries no membership fee.
Its own numbers are the interesting part. The listing shows 4.4 out of 5 stars from 1,131 ratings, yet the star histogram beside it adds up to 100 — 69 five-star, 18 four-star, 6 three-star, 2 two-star and 5 one-star. The rank field reads 224th in Rowing Machines against 357,527th in Sports & Outdoors, the warranty field contains nothing but a slash, and one of the reviews displayed underneath is written about a different Sunny Health & Fitness machine — a magnetic rower, not this water one. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing; none of it comes from testing we carried out ourselves.

Verified purchase“I purchased the Sunny Health & Fitness Multi-Function Premium Magnetic Rowing Machine for my husband for Christmas 2023, and it has been a fantastic gift! He uses it every week, and it has held up really well so far. The machine feels sturdy and offers great versatility with features like bicep curls and upward rows in addition to rowing.If you enjoy incorporating rowing into your exercise routine, I highly recommend this machine. It's a great addition to any home gym.”
Verified purchase“Great rowing machine. Saves going to the gym for a workout just as good as I'd get there. Good quality, heavy piece of equipment, I don't have to worry about it tipping while using it. Smooth pull and and seat operation. Good tension control for workouts from easy to tough.”
