If you're on the hunt for a rowing machine that keeps the noise level down, the NordicTrack RW900 Smart Rower might just be what you’re looking for. It's designed to be pretty quiet because it uses a mix of dual air and magnetic resistance. This setup helps in keeping things smooth and almost silent, so you won't be disturbing anyone at home while you work out.
One thing people really seem to like about the RW900 is its big 22-inch HD touchscreen, which is perfect for those iFIT workouts. You can row along with trainers and even pretend you're in some beautiful location around the world.
Plus, if you pair up some Bluetooth headphones, it makes for a pretty cool and immersive experience.
According to our research, lots of folks praise how quiet it is, thanks to that dual resistance system. You’ve got 26 magnetic resistance levels to play with, along with air resistance settings, all without making much noise—unlike some other rowers that can get pretty loud.
That said, it's not perfect. Some have mentioned running into issues with iFIT, like not being able to fast-forward or rewind workouts, which can be a bit annoying. Also, putting it together might take a bit more effort than expected, and there are occasional quirks with the resistance settings.
All things considered, if a quiet workout matters to you—and you're into those tech-forward, interactive sessions—this rower is definitely worth a look, even with a few little hiccups.
