Initial problems with rails not being delivered but customer service very good and was kept informed of delivery and trial period was extended accordingly.

Plastic siphon pump was also broken but was replaced quickly.

I have used indoor rowing machines for many years ,both air resistance and water resistance and this machine is a pleasure to use.( have had it for 3 weeks at time of review)

My only gripe is the performance monitor is very basic and is not commensurate with the quality of the rower.

It appears to work on stroke rate only and not the amount of power put into each stroke and therefore does not give an accurate reflection of your workout ,in fact the harder you row the slower you go according to the monitor as your stroke rate slows with long powerful strokes. Even if it did reflect accurately on power as well as stroke rate it is fiddly and slow process to set times or distances in the Target mode and does not appear to have any memory function .

This is frustrating and makes any targets for time or distance futile.

I.e..you can put very little effort in but just pull quickly and it shows you are going much faster in terms of time and distance than if you pull really long hard strokes .

The FS (fitshow)app has a Bluetooth link to the monitor but I have not been able to get this to work and am not sure of what the app offers if it does work. Again frustrating.

Topiom are a fantastic company and the staff are very polite and helpful.

I am so happy with my water rowing machine. It is very beautiful and a luxury rower , high quality and a pleasure to use as the water sound is so relaxing. An amazing price I really got a fantastic bargain and the best rower I have ever used, better than Concept 2.

I use my rower everyday and am seeing great results. It is the best thing that I have ever done for myself to purchase this rower. I have other exercise machines at home a Star trac spin bike, cross trainer, gazelle freestyle, total gym and Instant abs machine but the Topiom water rower is the highest quality and best machine to get results fast.

Dont miss out and purchase this rower.

I was looking for a rower like this for a very long time but it was out of my reach as too expensive with other companies but not with Topiom who have made my wishes and dreams come true. Thank you so much Topiom I am very grateful. God bless you all.

Excellent piece of kit. We tried to book a 2 week trial but were never given access to this so we purchased the unit. Arrived in 2 parts and the driver only dropped off one. The cardboard was damaged so we took pictures and asked the driver to record the facts. He then came back 2 hours later with the other part ! Took 2 of us around 40 minutes to put everything together. Quite easy until it came to putting the water in. The pump system provided was very poor and we ended up using a piece of garden hose which worked perfectly.

The unit is a joy to use, very smooth and robust. It is aesthetically pleasing and the wife and I are using it daily . We are already up to our target of 30 minutes twice a day each and are really motivated. Only a week in but love it. Highly recommended to any home users. I am well over 100 kilos and it takes my weight effortlessly.

This is a great rowing machine that is very comfortable to use, with a generous seat moving along double runners. As a larger person I feel secure using it. While it is very strong it also moves easily with the wheels and this doesnt take much effort, it looks great too. Just like the pictures. It does take some putting together as it is delivered in two boxes. These ended up being delivered on separate days and caused me a bit of concern as I expected them together. The second parcel did arrive the following day. The computer on the rower gives plenty of information on your performance as you row. I highly recommend this rower.

The rowing machine was running late because it was ordered during the start of the pandemic, so things were running behind and I received a notification from Topiom to



informing me of this.

I'm actually new to rowing, (at home) but because of ongoing back problems and being disabled, I thought I'd spend more for a decent rower that's going to be nice and smooth. Whilst searching for a water rower online, this came up and being considerably cheaper than another make I went for it, and what can I say... A good choice I made.

Built to high standards this machine is awesome.

Very smooth to use and also very solidly built.

I've had it about three weeks as I write this and I will say, I'm very pleased so far.

A pleasure to use.

A great machine for people looking for a low impact exercise option. Also for pro athletes and rowers.

Ticks all the boxes

A great piece of equipment for home fitness, also a lovely looking rowing machine. More importantly it's great to use, smooth and quiet with only the lovely sound of the water to listen to. Great price too compared to competitive manufacturers of almost identical water rowing machines. Although I'm new to this type of rower I would never go back to other rowing options. Had an issue with the monitor but after great customer service from their team a new updated model was sent out immediately, superb sevice! All in all a great product, many thanks to Topium and good luck as a growing company.........

Highly recommended rowing machine!



I'm very new to rowing and wasn't sure which one to get but once this arrived, I was converted into a daily rower. I chose the walnut colour and it looks great, it's easy to build and took around 30 minutes to put together. Once built the rower has a solid feel and can be stored upright.



It came with a water pump which made it very simple to add and remove water.



Thank you to Alice and Nicole for organising the delivery and support provided

Found it harder to put together than some other reviews as I think the instructions could be clearer. Also the screen is a bit lacking in functionality versus other rowers at this price.

I love it. Very easy to assemble. The rower beats all competitors hands down when it comes to price and having tried some of the top brands, frankly speaking there is no difference. The water noise level is very minimal and very pleasant although I like to row listening to jazz music. If you live in a flat; highly recommend this rower since it is very quiet and requires very little space to store once up-right. Only criticism I have is the fact that the instructions did not point to where the actual filling hole is. I am extremely pleased with my purchase and the service I received.

Thank you.

Suggestions for helpful instructions:

Step 1 - start charging the pump! (to avoid impatience after construction)

Mark the foot plate with a front' and back' sticker, as I initially installed it back to front.

Mention that the display requires 4 x AA batteries.

No info remarks about calibration? I have added water to 16 mark, but not sure what is appropriate...

This is a great piece of kit. Arrived quickly, in 2 boxes which were well packaged. Good quality, and went together very precisely. I ordered it in Walnut, which goes well with the colour scheme in my house, and I added blue dye to the water for aesthetic reasons.

I used to row a lot as a youngster, and this feels like the real thing.

Well pleased.

Like most I was apprehensive in ordering from a brand that wasn't established in the UK, however after reading multiple reviews I decided to take the plunge and order the walnut version. Price wise it's considerably cheaper than the same wood style from WaterRower, ?500 to be precise (Walnut WaterRower ?1199), fortunately there is little actual difference between the Topiom and the WaterRower.



I used to own a WaterRower so can confirm that the Topiom is identical with both it's fluid rowing action and the quality of wood. The difference between the two is simply the console. The Topiom rower lacks a 500m split time which is on the WaterRower model, this is due to the Topiom not being a true Ergometer. WaterRowers can guage distance in 1 meter, 2m, 3m increments etc whereas the Topiom measures in 6m X increments only. As such, a light stroke on a Topiom is equivalent to a heavy stroke (6m) so not ideal if you're after accurate performance metrics. In contrast, the WaterRower will measure these accurately. If you can live without this then the Topiom is still far better value, luckily my rowing (on water) days are over.



Connectivity wise, I've been able to connect to both their FitShow App which is very basic but does log workouts through my iPhone XR. I've also been able to connect to KinoMap and followed a couple of workouts that way. Please note; when you connect to a bluetooth device/app then this renders the console as blank and can't register any data.



Overall, I'm incredibly happy with the Topiom Rower. For what it lacks on the console it more than makes up for it with the fluid motion of the rower. Excellent value and good customer service as I asked several questions from the suppliers before ordering.

I ordered this rower on the 2 week trial. It arrived within a few days in 2 separate packages about 2 days apart from each other. Its made of sturdy hardwood and looks well built. I assembled it in about 20mins. Im 280lbs and it doesnt move at all when Im rowing. The pull is smooth and its a nice experience with the water swishing around. Its quite quiet too. The monitor functionality is ok. I feel that it could be better thought out though - more in line with for example, how the Concept rower monitor operates.

The customer service received from Topiom has been first class. Alice in particular providing quick and friendly responses to any queries. I purchased the rower. Ive not been using it for very long but so far its great. A well built bit of kit that is nice to use. If youre looking for a rower I recommend that you give Topiom a try.

Machine was built within 30mins, excellent instructions, I cheated and filled reservoir using garden hose. Machine is great to use with good resistance, comfy seat and pleasent noise of water. Ive found the monitor accurate - its not as bright as I would like but its readable and this is a minor niggle. Alice and Annie from customer services kept me up to date at all times and have been very helpful and fast to respond. I have now paid for the machine and having used Topiom I would not hesitate to recommend them. Great value Rower, cheaper and as good as any on the market.

Disabled user (only one leg)

A very good machine, very quite when using it. I Like that I can stand it upright when not in use.

The best feature this machine has for me is the twin rails the seat travels along giving extra support, it makes the transition on to it from my wheelchair and back again after my work out is over a lot easier and safer.



Yes I put this machine together myself, it did take a couple of hours but you might expect that. So If I can do it then it cannot be very difficult. The whole thing looks great and a joy to use. . . . James

We are so used today to check reviews online before buying, that news products have a hard time to get into the market (that is why I am writing my first review ever). I was convinced by the information provided online and decided to buy Topiom's water rower, and I am very happy with my decision. The price feels right and it totally matches my expectations. Two issues/suggestions: the instructions booklet needs improvement and the foot plates hurt the back of the foot (the three us that used the machine had to place socks between the back of the foot and the plastic foot plates to avoid injury - the plastic is very hard and has an awkward shape and size). Hopefully TOPIOM can make some new plates to replaced these one soon.

I'm rowing the Atlantic next year with the Talisker Whiskey Atlantic Challenge and needed a rower for home training. At the moment, I need to train in the house as the garage is a work in progress so wasn't drawn to a Concept as its awkward/noisy/ugly. This can be put up against the wall in the dining room in a heartbeat and it blends in. I then looked at WaterRowers but was taken by the value the Topiom offered when I found it online. Having had a good look at both, there is minimal difference. The only area that could be improved is the computer. It 'bluetooths' to my phone through the Fitshow app but doesn't offer /500m splits. I think the old computer did. Its not a particular drama for me as its more about just putting in the hours and splits are less important - but it should be an easy fix for the Software guys at Topiom to update...? Customer service has been excellent - lots of comms and they're following my team on Social Media - please do the same! #Elijahsstar on FB, Insta and a website. Overall - very pleased. Nice feel to it, quiet enough that it doesn't wake the family upstairs when I'm rowing downstairs with the TV on! Great value.

Very pleased. Wasnt sure that the quality would be as good as I hoped, but I have to say it seems to be very well made with all the parts finished to a high standard. I have had the rower a week now and it is an absolute pleasure to use. The only minor negative is the lack of a 500m split time on the new style performance monitor. Overall though I would definitely recommend.

I am in love. This is the best thing I have ever bought for myself, and the service from Topiom has been second to none. I received my rower in 3 days!!

Not only am I able to work almost my entire body from the comfort of my own home it is brilliant for my core and pelvic floor. For all mums out there who are looking for a low impact way to improve your pelvic floor this is it!

Using the rower is a easy way to workout it was delivered quickly and easy to assemble. I chose the 2 week trial before payment. I had a problem with the sensor not reading correctly, customer service was quick to respond and sent me out a replacement monitor. Overall I am happy with the rower and would recommend.

I love this rowing machine ??

I am not sure if its because I havent rowed since the Coronavirus started or this machine offers more resistance than the ones at the gym, but I love how it makes me really work for each km. The machine is not noisy, so I can row early in the morning, or late at night when the kids are asleep.

It was easy to set up and its easy to lift it and store in a corner if needed.

I also need to mention the handlebars. The usual rowing machine like Concept 2 for example, has round bars. Topioms handle is ergonomic, it doesnt hurt the palms of my hands, and if you row every day, this little thing is important.

I would recommend this machine to anyone interested in a complete workout.

Oh, and the customer service is absolutely brilliant!

First impression is great, it arrived within the estimated timeframe, and assembling it was fairly straightforward. It is quite similar to the ones they had at the gym I used to go so if it last at least the 5 years it is under warranty I will be a happy customer.

Really good experience, would recommend. Email contact all through ordering and delivery process.

Build quality of rower is spot on. Any fittings holes are perfectly lined up.

Machine took about 1/2 hour to build and looks really good.

Using rower is really good experience, drive is smooth and strong, return is natural.

After years of using a concept 2 in gyms, I wasnt sure how a water rower would fair and if it would be tough enough. Its come tops on all accounts and I doubt whether I would ever go near a concept 2 rower again.

I did lots of research in different rowers/companies and really glad i chose Topiom.

After waiting almost 2 months, I finally got my rower and it is great! The reason for the 3 stars is due to the finish of the product. When spending ?600 on a rowing machine that focuses on style, I expected more.



The most obvious issues are where ends of wood have been covered with what looks like cheap paper wood-effect stickers. I understand some sort of vinyl or plastic is usually used to cover wood-ends, but a friend uses another brand and his is much higher quality and doesn't look like i put a bit of brown tape over some places. (The most obvious being right above the handles, in eye sight ever time I use it.

Secondly, there are some scuffs and marks in different places, which I guess occured some time between them making and delivering, but the box was well packaged so it must have happened beforte leaving the warehouse.



Overall, a great machine but the final finish is a let down.

Love the aesthetic of the rowing machine. Feels robust and good quality. It gives a full body workout and I am really enjoying the flexibility of working out in my own home. The monitor is ok. It can't link to the current version of Fitshow app but the older version is better. The app says it is due for an upgrade in September so I look forward to that.

Really good service, very helpful with any questions. The rowers a really good workout and very smooth. Takes a bit of getting used to from if youre used to a concept and the performance measure seems slightly different to a concept. But now prefer the smoothness of the water to the concept.

Decided to invest in this during lockdown for myself and my 15 year old daughter. We both like rowing machines but I wanted one that didnt take up too much room and which wasnt too noisy. We both absolutely love this machine! It was pretty easy to put together, just work methodically through the instructions, took me about an hour. It looks quite stylish, I got the natural one but the main thing is its fantastic to use. The only noise is the sound of the water which is great. I had a problem with the electronic monitor but the company have been great and a replacement sent very quickly with no quibbles. The other really important benefit is that I can easily lift the machine and stand it on its end. I thought it would be heavy and difficult to do this but its no problem at all as the weight is at the bottom end. Absolutely recommend this machine - I use at least 4 times a week, 15-20 mins. Great to use for a warm up as well.

Shipment arrived in under 7 business days, although first pack came 3 days earlier than the second. I was very pleased with the packing and was very happy with the quality of the components when unpacking, with everything contained in the two packs including a few extra screws contained in the pack. Assembling the whole rower was pretty easy and straightforwards, with all of the parts fitting together without issues. In operation, the rower is very smooth and works exactly like other such rowers avilable for 2-3 times the cost of this rower. The only minor gripe would be the computer, which is fairly basic with distance, calories, time, strokes per minute etc. A HRM might have been a good add-on but you can achieve this with a watch etc. these days so not end of the world stuff. Overall, I would recommend this rower for it's quality, operation and looks. A good investment!
