- My friend shares his initial thoughts and impressions of two of the most popular treadmills on the market. He picks the Commercial 1750 for it's superior features. Others may appreciate the simplicity of the Sole F80. Depends what you are looking for.

"If you're not like me, and like a machine that doesn't do very much..." really? Clown. Please run on it and talk about things that are actually relevant as opposed to talking about whether or not it looks like an iPhone and which one is shinier...

Yeah dude is 6'5. I think he forgot most women aren't 6'5. What's easy for him to reach on the Nordictrack isn't for someone who is 5'2. That Nordictrack is a BOAT. Wife would not approve of a 65' size Cadillac in the room.
@@rxonmymind8362 i think he said 6 and a half feet not 6'5
Guys the customer service issue with Nordictrack are real. I decided to get the 1750 on 12/31/14 and it was delayed. Got it on 1/17/15. The package came with a broken screen. I refuse delivery, after waiting a days and almost 2 hrs to get through to Customers service I finally got a replacement treadmill ... They told me on 1/19/15 it would ship the next day. Today is 2/2/15. I canceled my order today. Customers did nothing to reassure me... I even told them that they were awful and they really didn't care. I will get myself a Sole. Nordictrack suck. Trust me.
Well all I can say is the 4 different Nordictrack machines I've ordered all came right when they were supposed to and came in working condition. No delays, no broken parts. I'm not saying your story is made up, just saying that I think highly of Nordictrack because I've never had any problems with them and have enjoyed their machines. I can understand why you feel the way you do, but hopefully you can understand why I feel the way I do as well.
+Treadmill Review Guru I work as a Customer Service Representative for Nordictrack and I am also a certified technician. With that being said, I would never recommend our product (or any other machine manufactured by Icon Health and Fitness) to anyone!!!!!
NordicTrack was last sold to Icon about 15 years ago or so. Their quality improved a lot after 2010. Both those machines have similar warranties I believe, and both are pretty solid brands in the industry. I prefer NordicTrack because I like the bells and whistles. It is certainly more enticing to use. But it comes down to personal preference.
You needed to discuss the lack of reliability, poor malfunction track record, and poor customer service for the 1750. I found too many posts by actual users who were really upset about non working machines and how they were handled by Nordic track customer service. The ifit feature also has rampant problems according to posts online by actual users, and it costs $100 per year extra.
I decided to go for the Sole F80. It's good enough for Hilton hotels. I want a reliable machine. It doesn't make sense to do a review of a motorized computerized treadmill without considering this as the primary criteria.
I hear the same thing. Lots of problems with poor service. How has your Sole F80 been? Is it reliable?
fireonice233 I've still got both these machines and neither one has given me trouble. I can't speak to customer service of either brand as I haven't needed them. But both get regular use. My neighbor is now using the Sole F80 and it's held up great for her. 5'5" and about 120 lbs., jogs regularly on it.
F80 would be the best value in my opinion
+Treadmill Review Guru please explain why... I am looking at buying one and don't know the differences why either. Thank you
What is the height from ground to the running surface? It seems too high for my small basement height.
As a 6' 8" runner, I found this review to be quite helpful. You should have your friend review more treadmills, because there are tall people like me who have a hard time with a lot of fitness equipment. Unfortunately I think the extra step-up height of the nordic track would make it height prohibitive in my basement (I have a 7' ceiling in my basement where I run and I already have my treadmill located so my head is between the beams or I'd be hitting my head already... if it were a few inches taller, I think it'd be even worse.
I have a nordictrack a2750 but it is likely on its way out, having belt skip issues, have replaced practically everything in the stupid thing and had multiple "pros" try to fix it, so I am shopping around and the f80/f85 were on my list. This review helped, thanks.
Matt Adams How long have you owned your Nordic? I have never had my own treadmill so this is new to me. I do love to walk but living in Texas it gets really hot or sometimes really cold which makes up for my some of my decisions. I'm willing to spend some money on a good treadmill. I will be the only one using it. Since I am not a serious runner, just walker should I go with something simpler? Any suggestions are appreciated.
What's funny is my wife who is 5'-3" can't see the 1750's screen because it's too high.
Lawrance Morrissey
BINGO!
During the course of my research I DID find out the following
"Commercial 2950 is one of the world’s few treadmills with power-adjustable console height."
www.fitrated.com/treadmills/nordictrack-treadmill-reviews/
May be applicable to those who need such options.
I am considering NordicTrack 1750 2017 model. I really liked their design/usability. But I am hearing mixed comments for NordiTrack - One is that it comes with broken parts. Second is that their customer service is really bad. Hope you have used your Nordic for some time now. Do you still think it is a good treadmill to go with?
We know about the bells and whistles. Which one is better built?
Hey guys could u help me choose between two I am torn on? 1. The above Nordictrack1750 and 2. Is the Lifespan TR3000i. My gut is telling me the Lifespan would be more reliable(and to choose it) but the Nordictrack is much cooler and would be more enticing to use by my wife which this is for.
The "key" holder is a book holder, for people who walk on treadmills. I know reading for most is somewhat of a lost art. Its great for students.
I'm kinda weird because i am interested in the type of motor and the warranty on the unit. The reliability is a definite plus. I think I am going to buy a used one first and then move on to a good model once I am reacquainted with the different models available.
Hi, Is this model Available in Australia? Or will it be? Also it that a TV sitting above the console or just a stand to hold your tablet?
No this model is not available in Australia. It is an iPad holder above the console, not a built in TV
The thin tray on the NordicTrack is not for keys, it is to hold a laptop for iFit live. The laptop covers the treadmill screen.
Good god does that guy friggin WORK for Apple? We get it, Apple products give you wood.
More important, considering they are both foldable models, it would have been nice to see that aspect reviewed and compared.
just ordered the nordictrack 1750 because this video sold me on it. but once i got it in, I saw that it is way different. Are you sure that is the 1750? It looks so much better than the one I received!
If you just ordered it you probably got the 2014 model of the Commercial 1750. This video was uploaded in May of 2013 and is of the 2013 model. Sorry for the confusion, I should adjust the description so people know which model is in the video.
I am still very happy with it. The only thing I am slightly disappointed in is how the buttons are hard to press while moving. They require a precise touch which is difficult when you're moving at a fast pace and want to slow down quickly using one touch. Other than that, it is a great model. Loved the sleek design in your video though. Wonder why they did away with such a sleek modern look for this one?
NordicTrack крутые дорожки. Я себе такую купил в магазине Зона Спорта. Крутые ребята, бесплатная консультация, доставка сборка и настройка. Я остался доволен дорожкой
Picked up the 1750 for $1399
I've read the specs, so I know they are comparable to each other. The trick is the reliability, though. Sole is KNOWN to be reliable through and through. The Nordictrack name has been spotty and many reviews are mixed. I still would go with the 1750 as I have had good luck with my other Nordic. The bells and whistles turn a boring run into a interesting view! I NEED that because of my A.D.D. Ha!
I'm curious...it's been over a year since you've had the NordicTrack Commercial. Have you experienced any problems with it? There seems to be a lot of complaints about it. Your thoughts?
I've had two Commercial 1750 models as well as the X9i incline trainer. None of them have given me any problems. I sold my older 1750 (2012 model) when I got the 2013 model but in the year I had it, it was great. Also have an older Audiostrider 990 elliptical that is just fine. I don't know why Nordictrack gets so many complaints online. I've used 4 of their machines and none of them has given my any trouble yet. I sold that Sole F80 to my parents and it has held up great for them, so worth noting that both of these machines are still doing great.
Treadmill Review Guru Thanks for the update. I appreciate that you took the time to respond. I'm not sure why NordicTrack gets so many complaints either, but the web is full of them. I have another question. I have a chance to purchase a barely used Lifespan 1200i for $550. Do you have an opinion on that treadmill? Thanks.
Ron Reynard Lifespan is a brand I've read a lot about and know their specs, but never had an opportunity to use one of their machines. From what others have said and the specs I've seen, Lifespan machines are pretty good. I have their rower and it's been great for 3 years now. I'll say what I tell everyone though. I would never buy a used treadmill. You just don't know what it's been through. Also voids the warranty. It may be a great machine that was treated poorly or been run to death. The motor might be on its last legs. You have no way of knowing really. So I would be cautious about used treadmills if I were you.
+Ron Reynard You can also look up NordicTrack on the Better Business Bureau website. The parent name of the company is Icon Health and Fitness, they manufacture NordicTrack, Proform, Welso, Golds Gym, and many others. It's a terrible company and their machines are all made in China.....the quality sucks.
Why can I not find a review of these treadmills with an actual runner running on it and providing feedback? I am pretty sure no actual runner coming here cares which console you find "cooler". Thanks for the attempt I guess... Sigh.
Derek Lariviere I feel the same..I wanted to watch an actual amateur treadmill user like me to use one. I want to see how the buttons all work, how I would set it & take off from there. I will be purchasing one soon, still undecided as to which one. Maybe I can post a video. Do you own one and if so what brand or what brand are you favoring the most. I am willing to spend over a $1000 just need some good feed.
Very informative. Thank you.
В Зоне спорта я купил дорожку сол фитнесс.Мне очень понравился магазин и сама дорожка.Цену мне предложили лучшую.Большое спасибо!
Most units you find in department stores lack commercial quality,but are good enough for home use. If you want A top quality piece of equipment that you would find in A fitness club then people have the option to buy A commercial unit and spend 3,000 or more.
Не плохое сравнение! Жалко, что у нас такие модели не продаются, пришлось брать родителям Sole F60 в Зоне Спорта, отличный аппарат, не особо то и хуже, чем F80...
Дорожка шикарная(F80) , столько функций и программ,все как и хотел. Посоветовали её в магазине зонаспорта, там то я её и купил. Оплата и буквально через день была доставка с установкой , очень все оперативно, менеджер всегда на связи. Пять балов !
Like anything, what you pay is what you'll get. If you're a serious about this, see if there's a fitness store near you. If nothing else, you'll have all the information you need to make an educated decision. You may ultimately decide one of the treadmills featured here will do the job, but if you're committed to getting/staying in shape or the machine will have multiple users, chances are you're not going to be happy with a department store treadmill.
WHATEVER I LOVE F80 SOLE!!!!
Did you guys ever think about actually using it , before you give a review ?
I think your completely wrong . I've owned my sole treadmil now for just over two weeks it's absolutely amazing . previously owned a life fitness model . that was good but sole have blown them away . Firstly mines rock solid unlike the badly assembled one your showing. I'm 6ft4 and the handles reach me perfectly ! it's totally solid design means I can train while other fsmilly members can watch TV in peace . the blue tooth works incredibly well and you failed to tell ppl I fit isn't free unlike Bluetooth. if that giraffe of a man wants his treadmill too look like an iPad why doesn't he simply place is iPad on the floor and run out it? he's an absolute buffon of a man
The Sole is far superior to the Nordic Track, any day of the week,,,call support for each,..who picks up first. I can tell you its sole ...and yes Sole is more basic...but more robust...don't listen to these two dudes ...they haven't a clue ..that NordicTrack will be in the trash while the Sole is still clocking off the miles …DO YOUR HOME WORK …AND JUST DON’T READ …CALL EACH COMPANY AND ASK QUESTIONS ,…you will end up buying the Sole
+pickels62 Thank you. I am looking at both. I never heard of Sole until today. Sole appears to have alot less Negative reviews as well.
Tony P, had a Nordic Track and had nothing but trouble with it, had the controller unit replaced four times and the motor once and it still would not run
Thanks for your comment. You are right, I looked up Amazon and many reviewers mentioned that they could not get a hold of a Nordric Track's rep. I am debating on F80 vs. C1750 and I guess durability and quality are the priority when I am spending $1,500 on a treadmill.
Tony P
I have a Sole elliptical still going after six years. So quiet one can use it at midnight or five am without waking anyone up. You can literally stand next to it and barely hear it. Point is Sole makes quality product.
I am thinking about these two myself, the thing i read on amazon is that the sole cannot shake the "low speed" error even after repeated technician visits... So as of now i'm contemplating nordic track
If your a runner,not much on cushioning or motor size etc the most important things noise level ,you mention elevation a little but how fast do they change sped or elevation ? Also They were not even going why like buying a car without taking it for a test drive.Sorry not really of much help,since I am a runner,and doing hills and itervals, fartlek, lsd training etc.
how often do you press buttons on treadmill while running? small screen, if you can't see cardio on that screen, how would you see anything on watch? doesn't seems like review at all, more like poor selling ad for nordic treadmill.
HOW MUCH WAAS THIS? DO THEY SHIP TO CANADA?? PLEASE ANSWER
The new Commercail 1750 is $1,499 and yes, they do ship to Canada. You have to shop at nordictrack.ca instead of nordictrack.com. I believe nordictrackcoupon.com has a discount for folks in Canada.
how long have you had your treadmill??!? and which one do you have
Savannah M I have the 2013 model of the Commercial 1750. I got it in January.
Ok, so representing the average person is a 6.5 behemoth, which is why of course at 5' 11", still taller than many average dudes... I'd buy anything this guy recommends... rigghhht.
I've heard since Notditrack has been resold they aren't as quality as they used to be. The Lifespan won numerous awards but is more boring I can't decide between bells and whistles with decent quality and excellent quality and less flash
This is what I'm struggling with now. Boring & reliable vs. Interesting & questionable. Your comment is older, what did you end up with? What do you advise? Thanks
First the guy says he hadn't seen these models until today and then starts describing the models like he knows ever single detail about them. Watch another one of their videos and the guy in blue bashes the sole treadmill with almost the exact words the guy in yellow said. This couldn't be scripted and these guys couldn't be working for nordictrack, could they? I guess will never know.
Why would you have a "giant" review these treadmills? Have some one who is of average height or a runner.
WTF? maybe a review that is actually given by someone that has run on the treadmills would be a benefit. A bit of info regarding deck size, motor size, speed etc would not go amiss rather that half arsed analogies
This review is useless, they only reviewed the aesthetics of both machines; that is bull crap. There is no information on the motor, the board and initial thrust. Tanks for nothing except wasting minutes of time.
Is it too much to ask to run on the f(*&ing thing? I want to see it roll.
Geez, this guy is negative. If he's never seen these machines, then why did he sound so depressed the moment he started reviewing the Sole, and magically came to life as he headed towards the Nordictrac?
How is that a review, it's just a neighbor spewing thoughts? They aren't comparable from a price perspective either, the NordicTrack is more. C'mon.
First screw Apple. I don't give a rip if something looks & feels like Apple. I want solid machine and good customer service.
Nordictrack FAILS at that.
The Nordictrack would be to big for my 5' wife. The console while it might work for dude in orange at 6'5 doesn't do it for shorter people.
I know my wife wouldn't be able to reach the tablet. Also I can't imagine she would approve of having a BOAT of a machine in the living room. It's like having a 65' Cadillac.
Yes Sole annoyed me with all the stickers. Take them off. Simple. I want reliability and solid customer service and Sole delivers. Want a gauge of which is more reliable? Take a look at the want ads. Here in my city not a single F80 for sale. Tons of Nordictrack of various models. There a reason for that ;)
I have a Sole elliptical that's going solid after six years. It's so quiet you'll make more noise walking across my wood floor. I work out at ten pm and five am, it's that whisper quiet.
Also look into Icon/Nordictrack customer service reviews.
www.treadmilldoctor.com/ranking-system-of-manufacturer-customer-service
Rank almost last. While Sole may be last in adopting new tech which I like to Lexus or Toyota you KNOW what they have will endure and last.
А я купила такую дорожку в магазине Зона Спорта.Очень неплохие условия для меня предложил магазин, чему я несказанно рада.
bad lighting
no cost bad review
he was very biased
Useless...they are both 22" wide ! WTF
bad ample find somebody normal
This treadmill is a POS. Had one for the last two months and am finally just returning it and eating the freight cost. I've had numerous problems with it from day one. Squeaking noises, shocks you constantly, ticking noises from drive motor, etc. Customer service is terrible btw. I waited on hold almost two hours between two different calls. Even if the treadmill mechanicals weren't bad, the software running it is not user friendly. I would definitely not recommend this machine.
+Justin Smits Hi are you talking about the Nordatrack or the Sole? I am looking at possibly buying one..Ty
+Tony P the Nordic track. garbage
+Justin Smits Thanks alot for the info. It appears that most reviews agree with you. I am sorry to hear about the problems. Nothing worse than waiting on the phone and trying to deal with something that does not work properly. I am no convinced to stay away from Nordic track. I will look into more into the Sole. I am now thinking it maybe best to buy one from an actual store and not just online, Ty
Dude, since you are so tall, you shouldn't be running anyway. You are going to have serious back and knee problems.
+Putins Cat LMAO funny comment
WOW, a BIASED review!!!
A very poorly produced review. First of all, don't use a smartphone or cheap camcorder with auto iris because the exposure is horrible. Also, what about for people who run. Not a word about that. This is total crap!!
