The WaterRower Driftwood Rowing Machine is number 5 in this guide and the cheapest of the four WaterRower listings in it, at £999.00. It is a water-resistance rower with a solid oak frame — the listing gives the colour as "grey stained hardwood" — an integrated LightRing, the WaterRower Connect app and an S4 monitor with Bluetooth, and the listing says it stands vertically in about the space of a chair. The price is not the only thing that separates it from the rest of the WaterRowers here. The three Original Series models at £1,199, £1,299 and £1,599 all display the same 4.3 stars and the same 402 reviews, because one pool of ratings is shown across the wood finishes. The Driftwood shows its own figures instead: 3.9 out of 5 from 49 ratings, which makes the cheapest machine in the group also the lowest-scoring one.

Its own listing then disagrees with itself in two places. The star histogram adds up to 100 ratings (9 + 11 + 9 + 16 + 55) while the page states 49 ratings, and the warranty bullet promises a free 5-year warranty after registering the device while the specification field says "2 year manufacturer". The specification also names the model "Vr3 Modell Mit S4 Ble" on a machine sold as Driftwood. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing for this rower — we have not tested it ourselves.
