Air resistance provides smooth and even performance
This is an air rowing machine which means that the resistance is provided by an internal flywheel. The flywheel creates wind as you pull on the handles which creates more resistance. Pulling harder means the flywheel will spin faster and create more wind, thus creating more resistance. This creates a similar feeling as rowing on water.

Con
The wind created inside the flywheel can get loud
It creates a “whooshing” sound. The harder you row, the louder this machine gets.

Uses water resistance to simulate physics of rowing on water
The WaterRower is equipped with a water flywheel. Inside the flywheel there are paddles that spin as you start pulling on handles, thus creating friction with water and creating resistance. This is the closest thing that you can get to simulate rowing on water.

Con
Adjusting the resistance can be tedious
Adding more water to the tank will increase the resistance. If you want to decrease the resistance you have to drain some water from the tank.
