119 owner reviews, fewer than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other home gym and fitness equipment we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Hydrow MNRW02AOR is priced at $2,295, making it by far the most expensive rower in this batch. It uses magnetic resistance, weighs 102 pounds, and measures 80 inches deep by 19 inches wide by 43 inches tall. The 375-pound weight capacity is one of the highest available among all rowers in this category. The Sunset color variant indicates this is a specific colorway of the broader Hydrow lineup.
At 4.0 stars from 119 reviews, the feedback pool is small compared to mass-market alternatives like the Sunny SF-RW1205SMART with 19,900 reviews. 4.0 stars still meets our site quality floor, but buyers putting $2,295 into a single piece of equipment should read all available reviews carefully and check the Hydrow website for the full connected fitness feature set, subscription requirements, and warranty terms.

Performance notes
The MNRW02AOR uses magnetic resistance and weighs 102 pounds. Max user weight is 375 pounds. Dimensions are 80 inches deep by 19 inches wide by 43 inches tall. This is a large machine that will occupy a significant floor footprint. The Sunset color is a specific finish option. Connected workout features, subscription costs, and display specs are not part of the available product data here; verify those on the Hydrow website before purchasing.
What buyers say
119 reviews at 4.0 stars is a thin but passing signal at this price. Buyers spending over $2,000 on a rower typically have high expectations, and a 4.0-star average suggests the machine delivers a quality experience but may not be perfecting every detail for every buyer. Reading the full review breakdown, particularly three-star and four-star reviews, is especially important at this investment level.
