The Best Foldable Rower Under $400

This rowing machine was rated The Best model because it rowed more smoothly than other models that cost under $400 in tests by the Hammacher Schlemmer Institute. Its 11-lb. flywheel provides eight levels of magnetic resistance and its belt drive mechanism pulled and retracted without sticking or changing tension to provide a smoother rowing movement than other tested models. Its monitor displays time, calories, distance, and more, and a built-in bracket accommodates a smartphone or tablet. It was also found to be the most well-constructed of all tested models thanks to precisely machined parts made from superior materials, key components for rowers that are regularly folded, unfolded, moved, and stored. Supports up to 285 lbs. with a 11" L x 14" W seat and 44" slide rail. Deployed 78" L x 22 1/2" W x 22 1/2" H; folded 36" L x 22 1/2" W x 47" H. (55 3/4 lbs.)
