The WaterRower Original Series Rowing Machine is a water-resistance rower with a solid walnut wood frame, the S4 Performance Monitor with Bluetooth, and a listed price of £1,599.00. It sits eighth in this guide; the same machine in oak at £1,199 and in black at £1,299 appears elsewhere in the list.

Its own listing is the interesting part. The walnut model carries 4.3 stars from 402 reviews and a rank of 216th in Rowing Machines — the identical rating, the identical review count and the identical rank shown on the two cheaper wood finishes, because one review pool is displayed across all three. The listing then contradicts itself on warranty: a bullet promises "3-year frame, 5-year parts warranty" while the specification field states "5 years frame, 3 years parts". Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing as it stands, not from any testing we have carried out.
