We’ve reviewed almost all of WalkingPad’s lineup of equipment, including their rowing machine. The WalkingPad WR1 Folding Rower is a compact water rower that folds up at three different points. It shares similarities with other water rowers on the market, but it’s much lower in price than most, so check out this rower if you’re looking for something compact, storable, and affordable.

The wooden frame sits low to the floor so it feels sturdy and has a dual rail system. The rail is only 6” high and the seat is only 12” high so it might not be best for those who can’t sit low to the floor. The seat is plenty wide for most people and is pretty comfortable with nice cushioning and contouring.

The pedals are adjustable to work with athletic shoes and the straps are thick and easy to adjust with the velcro. The footboard is one singular piece with the pedals directly next to one another so some people might feel a little cramped, but this design is pretty common on water rowers.

The water tank is probably the smallest we’ve seen, so it doesn’t provide as much resistance as larger water rowers, but it is quiet with the soothing water sounds to use in most homes, and its small footprint makes it a little more friendly for most homes. The belt drive system that attaches the handle to the flywheel provides good tension throughout the stroke which we really appreciate, too.

What’s most impressive about the WalkingPad Rower is that it folds up to be only 26” long. It kind of folds up to be the size of a small box that you can shove in a corner or in a closet out of the way. Considering how long rowers are, it’s nice to see one that is compact and storable.

It also doesn’t require electricity due to the LCD screen. This screen is pretty small and minimal but tracks your metrics.

All in all, we’re impressed with the WalkingPad WR1 Folding Rower. It’s best for beginners and those who have limited space.
