The NordicTrack RW900 has the most hardware for the money among the connected rowers: a 24 inch pivoting HD touchscreen and 26 levels of what NordicTrack calls Silent Magnetic Resistance, for $1,799.99 on sale when we checked. iFIT trainers can change the resistance automatically during classes, and NordicTrack lists more than 10,000 iFIT workouts plus streaming apps. The footprint is 80.1 by 21.8 by 52.7 inches and the user capacity is 300 lbs. The warranty covers the frame for 10 years, with 2 years on parts and 1 year on the tablet and labor. The catch for this list's readers is storage: NordicTrack does not document folding or upright storage for the RW900, so it needs a permanent spot. An iFIT Pro membership is required for full content after the included first month. The 30-day in-home trial carries a $249.99 return shipping charge, so measure the space before buying.
