Amazon’s October deals have been some of the best all year, and not just because of the Prime Day sale a few weeks back. The retail giant has been posting steep discounts across nearly every category, including hiking boots, power tools, men’s watches, and even e-bikes. If you’re starting to look for fitness gear to bring your workouts inside and out of the cold, Amazon has that covered, too, thanks to a $300 discount on one of its top-selling foldable rowing machines.
Joroto’s Foldable Rowing Machine is now on sale for only $300, making it an excellent 50% off its retail price of $600. If you’re a fitness fiend and love a high-quality piece of exercise equipment with aesthetics that match, this water rower is for you. It’s earned over 600 five-star ratings from Amazon shoppers who say they’re “completely blown away by this fantastic rower.” Over 200 have been purchased in the last month, making it one of the site’s top 10 bestselling models available.

Securing a spot on any of Amazon’s top 10 bestsellers lists is no easy feat, especially in the fitness category. However, with its excellent price and great attention to detail, it’s easy to see why this one earned a spot. Joroto’s rowing machine has a visually striking appeal with vintage-looking construction. It’s made from natural FSC-certified premium solid oak wood, which aids in its sturdy build. It has a max load weight of 330 pounds and offers a smooth and on-water-accurate experience with six resistance levels while strategically-placed rollers under the seat absorb shock and reduce noise. It’s also foldable, space-saving, and has a Bluetooth monitor and app to view and track your progress.
One thing reviewers love most about this machine is how comfortable it is to use, even when compared to today’s top brand-name models. “Equally super easy and buttery smooth; perfect for those of us living in apartments or needing the space,” a shopper said. “I have used my friend’s Concept2 rower, and this absolutely rivals the ultra smoothness…The sound of the water was also very calming if you don’t have headphones in.”

Another shopper echoed those remarks. “It’s extremely satisfying to hear the water moving when you row,” they said. They also noted how quiet the machine is: “It’s very quiet and does not bother anyone, even in the same room, when you are on it. I can easily be on a Zoom call for work while my wife is using it, and it can’t be heard.”
With a price of only $300, the Joroto Foldable Rowing Machine is climbing Amazon’s bestseller list. Its performance equally matches the price tag, but it won’t stay this way forever, so get a move on quickly if you want to get your row on for less.
