Exactly the review I was looking for. A real honest review from an "average" user. I was debating whether or not I should buy it and the reviews were all over the place. Yours is exactly what I needed. Thank you!
NOTE: This product works exactly as described. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxguEIMc_Qwab-3QMTpF6jaRL80hiOOsIN It originally earned a four-star review due to a minor defect (see below). However, the manufacturer's customer service rep (Lita) went above and beyond the call of duty and deserves five stars now. I wish I could give even more!I purchased this item which arrived quickly. Assembly instructions were easy to follow. There was only one problem: One bolt did not screw into the hole properly. I called the company. Their customer service rep (Lita) was terrific! She took all my information and submitted a request to replace the defective part. I'm hoping to finish assembly and start using this treadmill soon. (Fingers crossed...)FOLLOW UP: Lita called back to inform me that the company will send a replacement part AND a technician(canyoutalk) to install it properly. AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE!! Thank you!!
I probably should have looked at reviews before hitting the purchase now but it was $450 during prime day so I was like why not. Your review gave me peace with my purchase. Mine will be here this Sunday. Im looking forward to the morning sunless walks Im about to have.
I started working from home over a year ago and gained 25 pounds, I did start using the treadmill at the gym but between my wife's schedule and the kids I am able to go 3 days a week. Im glad I found this video, I placed an order for a funmily treadmill, then realized it was too small for me. My other option was this one, although costs a bit more its the perfect size for me. This review video was very well done, I just placed an order for it and cancelled the first one. Thank you sir!
I don't speak much English but I saw and understood your video perfectly: I think you have a lot of talent to express yourself naturally in front of the cameras, and honesty is felt in the message, and thanks to your time in this video you helped me make a decision. Thank you for dedicating your time to others, blessings to you and your family
Personal experience part was better than the review, dude. Good work! Got about 25 covid lbs to get rid of and a broken treadmill 😂 these are all over Craigslist and eBay. Tks for the review!
Super informative video. You mentioned originally having it in a room with a smaller ceiling. When it was on the incline setting, probably max setting, was your head close to the ceiling?
Walt, great review. I just got that treadmill and it was good to hear your experience with it. Good advice on the habit building and maybe making small diet changes. Than you, sir!!
Come.. If were moving.. Actually a very good point that's ignored... All gym equipment is a prime 3 for moving time.. Have to disassemble and if you tossed the packaging.... Hehe If you know you might be moving soon if be very careful what exercise year you buy... Hour tough 3 is it?? Unless you know you don't move for the next 25 years... Join a gym...
Sounds great - 16kph (10mph) is within my limit - just a quick question - some treadmills limit you to 60 minutes, is there a limit on this machine. Also can you input your weight to get a more accurate idea of calories burned. As I'm in the UK is there a selection for Metric?
We just got this treadmill from a seller. I really like it, don’t think we will do the ifit. Also my boyfriend is 6ft 200lbs and this treadmill is big enough for him to use.
Great review, Walt! This model seems like a good option for me, specially for what you said regarding people who already have the habit of running/walking and need something that's convenient. I'm looking to get a treadmill I can use when the weather gets tough during the winter and for my wife and mother in law to walk/jog. I really enjoy running, but now I'm mixing it up with walking too, because (like you) I'm using walking and diet to lose weight. May I ask a couple of questions..1. I usually do between 8:30-9:30 min/mile pace on 5-6 miles. Do you think that would work? 2.- Does the treadmill also show pace(min/mile) and not just speed?, 3.- you don't need ifit to operate the treadmill, right? (like you, I don't care about that type of experience, I prefer listening to music/podcasts..pretty basic). Thanks so much!
Last screw that treadmill look at that couch that's badass damn how many people can you fit on that that's a football party on Sundays and Mondays I'll tell you
I've been working out at home for years, and was doing UA-cam workout videos with the wife for cardio. I still do those some, but I've been way more consistent with this treadmill. I'm only a week and a half in, so I've been doing 20-25 minutes on 6 incline and 2.5 speed then running the last few minutes out. Already getting easier to do so I'll likely be stepping up the intensity soon. They definitely end up as paperweights often. The guy I bought it from sold it to me for $75 just to get it out of his garage lol. His wife used it for a while and then quit using it a year ago. I hope to use one for the rest of my life though since I've struggled with my weight my whole life. Anyhow, hopefully this comment helps someone get motivated to get one and start using it. You can probably find one or one like it online cheap. I personally think even if you do nothing for exercise right now that grabbing a treadmill will get you motivated because its easy to build on. Admittedly, I had fallen off the horse when I bought the treadmill, and it has gotten me right back on. It's just super accessible to get cardio with, and I'm left with no excuse to skip my daily cardio session.
I have not had to lubricate this an excessive amount but it is a good idea to do so somewhat routinely. Check out this link below, that's what Nordic Track recommends. I've heard other people mention that they just use standard treadmill silicone www.nordictrack.com/accessories/nordictrack-treadmill-lube-maintenance-kit?gclid=Cj0KCQjw29CRBhCUARIsAOboZbKPqi7LWR6Ow2RSGtMhPTao2FlTN6bid8zN9zXA6Y9m7FAm2fMtNZ4aAlUCEALw_wcB
It’s solid but the way you have to lean forward to use the keypad is silly. Meaning the display area is too far forward and you’ll hit into the bottom with your feet or you’ll have to lean far forward as you’re walking or jogging which is terrible for your back and not safe. They should have extended the display area a good 6-8” further forward. Also do not like how the distance measurement is in 3 decimals and is difficult to quickly see the distance thus far. It should go up in single decimals. Instead of 0.29 or 1.29 they do 0.290 and 1.290 which is odd. Also forcing if it to be able to enable adjustment of the user’s height & weight, etc is wild. Plus the Nordictrack support is horrible. Everything else is fantastic.
We bought hours in 2018. The I'm bored speakers the patch and are not very loud. A cup holders are great. Some people say it's a little loud but it doesn't bother me it's in our basement. Easy to transport and put together in my opinion. It's been a great unit. It only gave me a odd issue in late 2022 where it would not incline fully. It would only incline on level 10 about a third of the way. I'm not sure how I resolved it but maybe it was a board reset or something like that. I cleaned off the incline sensor, tried a reset nothing seemed to work until I typed it on side one day pulled the auger apart. Put it back together again and it worked. Nothing seemed broken I just did not want to go up all the way on level 10..
Keep reviewing items please. You have a great screen presence, and articulate well. Interestingly, the first video of your I watched was on the bidet. I bought one, and it has CHANGED MY LIFE. no going back for me. Who knows, maybe I’ll start walking/running again. Keep up the good work.
I don’t really see any of those as being cons. All treadmills make noise, a broken piece probably for shipping and doesn’t effect the use. How can iFit being offered be a con, if you don’t like it then don’t use it? Your pros are great and I think I’m going to get it.
Yeah it's winter time here that's why I'm looking for something that's going to be used for a few months during the winter to winter's over and then put it away cuz I live in the mountains I hike so I'm basically just looking for something that's small compact this seems like it's a good deal you didn't mention motor size on it I might have missed that but I don't think you did anyway yeah I'm kind of sold on that one or the c700 thanks for your review it was very good review badass couch dude
Great review! I have a heart rate monitor that I can connect to other equipment via Bluetooth. Could I connect my heart rate monitor to this treadmill that way? I just want to be able to see my HR consistently without having to hold onto treadmill handles or something like that.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts! This was extremely helpful and valuable, especially as I’m considering a purchase for cyber monday. Cheers!
Appreciate the review. Was kind of skeptical of the price of the unit, but took a chance on Cyber Monday based on comparable specs to the Peloton tread. The only feature missing was the massive screen, but we saved enough to just supplement with an iPad--which will probably get more use anyway.
This was super helpful and I appreciate how relatable you are. I’ve been looking at this treadmill because I’ve been using an exercise bike and walking outside consistently, but don’t love the bike (it was given to me, so it’s what I used) and I know I enjoy walking/jogging and can be consistent with that. I think I’m going to go for it- thanks!
I bought this, I installed ifit, I quickly declined the membership, and just use it to control the speed/incline, it tracks the mileage on my phone, and apparently automatically sync's with my Samsung Watch 5 Pro. I'm going to try wirelessly connecting it to my Garmin Enduro 2, but even if it doesn't. This thing is great for what I paid. I think it was around $450 with free shipping on amazon sale. I do want to upgrade someday, but I'm in no rush. I watch anime on a 43 inch TV in front of it, the only downside is I get real sweaty after 20 mins, and yes... it's loud. So I use Noise Cancelling Headphones (Bose 700's). This year I'm going to try; 1. peltier cooled headphones, 2. fan-directed at my face, 3. ice packs (?), and maybe 4. zone 2 bpm targetted workout.
Great review, thinking of getting this. I'm 6ft 3 so was wondering how tall you are and are you more of a jogger or runner and did you find the length of the belt long enough for you
I'm 5' 11" and more of a jogger. I do find that it is long enough for me, and I think there have been some taller people in the comments section below who have ordered. You could ping one of them and see if they actually went through with purchasing.
Question. Do you lube the belt on this treadmill? My last treadmill and every one I have ever used required regular applications of treadmill lube, different intervals depending on the model, One was every 30 miles or something. I just got this NordicTrack T6.5s and the manual said NOT to apply silicone lube, says it comes pre lubed? I guess it feels like there is a very thin coat of something on the belt/board but the manual said nothing about ever applying lube. Is this the case on this treadmill? You just don't add any lubricant for the entire life of the treadmill? That does not sound right.
@@waltsreviews90 The manual says not to lube with silicone, does not give any info on when or how to lube, makes it sound like it never needs lube. I am sure many machines damaged due to poor communication. I contacted the company about it and they said, Yes, it has to be lubed on a regular basis like any other treadmill. But that using regular treadmill lube made of Silicone can damage the belt. And that I need to use NordicTrack brand non-silicone petroleum based lube that I have to buy from them. I do not know if it is true silicone will damage the belt or if that is total BS to get people to buy their brand of lube for profit. The machine is expensive and I have to error on the side of safety and buy their expensive lube for now until I can get more information. You have the same treadmill as I do, have you been lubricating it? and if so what kind of lube have you been using?
Thanks for a great review I've already ordered mine.** I would suggest that you unplug the unit after each use since your children play on it. I know that would be a pain but just a good precaution. Not sure if it has a key I did not hear about that if you take it out every time they could put it back in. So many accidents with children and treadmills especially younger children.
Hi! I know this is an older post, but I'm currently considering buying this treadmill. But I've seen in other videos where the plastic housing at the foot of a different treadmill had caught the person's foot/shoe during use. We plan on also using this treadmill for exercising our very energetic Husky (always supervised, of course) and his paw getting caught in those "caps" is a HUGE concern for us. You mentioned that specific housing was broken off on your treadmill. Did you notice any functionality/safety issues because that housing was broken off? If it's possible to remove those without function or safety problems, I would be interested in removing them to protect puppy feet. Thanks so much for your review - was very helpful!
If I'm understanding the concern, I don't think it should be an issue. If you're looking at the caps at the very bottom, or the feet, then I don't think that would be a concern. You can also buy a dog treadmill, though that's not ideal if you are planning on using it too.
@@waltsreviews90 Yes. The caps at the end (back?) of the treadmill belt that you mentioned in the vid (the one was broken off when you received the treadmill)- you haven't had any issues with functionality of the belt or treadmill due to its absence? I am considering removing those if possible to avoid any possible paw injuries (paw getting stuck between belt and plastic cap). And yes, my SO and I will be using the treadmill also.
@@retrieverlover8228 we did get this treadmill! We like it for ourselves but have not successfully had our husky on it (husky's inabilities, not because of the treadmill). If at some point we do get him on it I'll get back to you! 😊
Hey Walt....Excellent review!! I was lookin to purchase and place in my basement but the measurement from my floor to ceiling is 7 foot and I'm 6' 1" How much clearance when step on the treadmill. I suppose an inclined walk would be out of the question in my basement.
You'll definitely be cutting it real close! On the higher end, you have roughly 10 inches from the ground, and 6 on the lower end. Not to mention every time you take a step you'll be that much closer to the ceiling.
It’s funny you said to walk outside in the summer and inside on the treadmill in the winter. Here in SC it’s the complete opposite! I long for the outdoor walks fall and winter! 🥵 Your video just convinced me to get this for $50 off of FB marketplace ☺️ Thanks for the review!
Had this in my cart to purchase. I walk 10k+ steps a day on my weight loss journey. Due to recent issues I’m unable to walk outdoors in the Texas heat. After watching your video I completed my purchase. TY
thats exactly like me, once you stop for 1-2 days its going to get worse lmao gotta be consistent. thanks for the review. just ordered the T 7.5S hopefully that is good
Thanks for this review. We are considering this unit and really appreciate the video.... BTW, you can skip iFit by holding down the "iFit" button for 30 seconds.....or so I hear. Thanks again!
thanks so much for the honest review!! I realized this is too big for my small office. I'm 5'2 and 137 but really looking for one with a good incline. I think i can find something smaller with an incline.
simple and sensible review. I just bought this treadmill on sale during this TG, I am yet to get it. Though, I have used it at my friends home but still I was looking for a proper review and I came across yours . Thanks for sharing it.
To be honest, I can't verify that myself. I think someone around that weight range left a comment saying that it worked fine for them. Might be worth looking into a little more though.
Walt I watched your video for the first time and I loved it. Straight up-front. I did notice your shoes. Could you recommend a tennis shoe that is best for a treadmill.
Good review. Hard to tell, but area there any rollers on it in the front to make it easier to move around? I'm needing to replace my current treadmill and it's a handy feature.
ah so they make yo subscribe to an app it comes with that is shady so just going to avoid Nordic track not going buy a companies product that does that nonsense
the issue i have is i smell a burning smell like motor over heating after 1 hr . Did anyone else have this issue. i purchased it from Sears but our sears shut down.
@@jalikwilder5357 yes it was a plastic bag melting on my exhaust SMH .. if your car is lowered sometimes those bags in shopping parking lots get underneath the car
@@jalikwilder5357 i thought this was about my car but with the treadmill i open the cover and gound a burned wire connector to motor and stripped the wire back and put a new connector.. but it seems like motor heats up around 50 minutes of run time.. also you can try adding tension on the belt on treadmill to allow the belt to move steady
Exactly the review I was looking for. A real honest review from an "average" user. I was debating whether or not I should buy it and the reviews were all over the place. Yours is exactly what I needed. Thank you!
Glad I could help!
Did you get it?
@@GoldenRoseRecords I did yeah, does what I need it for. Nothing to complain yet.
@@guillaumepelletier2658 still using? :) - thinking of getting one

I find this treadmill fairly quiet compared to some higher end nordicktrack treadmills. Great value and $1000 cheaper
Hope you are enjoying it!
I probably should have looked at reviews before hitting the purchase now but it was $450 during prime day so I was like why not. Your review gave me peace with my purchase. Mine will be here this Sunday. Im looking forward to the morning sunless walks Im about to have.
how did it work out for you?
For the money its good. So far Im having no problems If you can get it for $450 I say go for it. I just wish the incline went past 10
450?! I just ordered mine for 680 it was originally 800 so i thought i got a deal 😮
450? I will wait for this years prime day
@@JAY-bb7ycwhen is prime day? Bc I’m literally about to buy this today and it’s 799 🙄

Wow, thanks for the compliments! Always happy to help, and glad to hear that you enjoyed the video 🙂
Personal experience part was better than the review, dude. Good work! Got about 25 covid lbs to get rid of and a broken treadmill 😂 these are all over Craigslist and eBay. Tks for the review!
Lol, you aren't alone with the Covid 25 😂😂😂. Stay strong!
Super informative video. You mentioned originally having it in a room with a smaller ceiling. When it was on the incline setting, probably max setting, was your head close to the ceiling?
Nope, you'd have to have a really short room to bonk your head... or be really tall!!
Great honest review! Thanks for giving very helpful insights to the treadmill and exercise tips as well. This review was well worth the time 👍
No problem, happy to help!
Walt, great review. I just got that treadmill and it was good to hear your experience with it. Good advice on the habit building and maybe making small diet changes. Than you, sir!!

We just got this treadmill from a seller. I really like it, don’t think we will do the ifit. Also my boyfriend is 6ft 200lbs and this treadmill is big enough for him to use.
Are you saying that machine will only last about a year ?
I noticed the directions say that the treadmill should be plugged into a surge protector. Did you do this with yours??
I weight 287lbs I’m 6’2 you think can handle my weight bro?
You should be able to, though the limit is apparently 300lbs, I have never personally tested it.
Treadmills.. Started symbol and an eye sore... Do unless you have a dedicated exercise room

Hi Walt, thank you for the review. Does it have a good incline feature? How high can it go?
Great review, Walt! This model seems like a good option for me, specially for what you said regarding people who already have the habit of running/walking and need something that's convenient.

Thank you, great review ! It’s getting cold outside so I know I will not be going for my daily jogs in the park. This will be a great option !

You don't have to register them. There are videos how to bypass that when you first use it. You just push and hold the ifit button
Great to know, thanks for the info.
Great review, thinking of getting this. I'm 6ft 3 so was wondering how tall you are and are you more of a jogger or runner and did you find the length of the belt long enough for you
I'm 5' 11" and more of a jogger. I do find that it is long enough for me, and I think there have been some taller people in the comments section below who have ordered. You could ping one of them and see if they actually went through with purchasing.
Question. Do you lube the belt on this treadmill? My last treadmill and every one I have ever used required regular applications of treadmill lube, different intervals depending on the model, One was every 30 miles or something. I just got this NordicTrack T6.5s and the manual said NOT to apply silicone lube, says it comes pre lubed? I guess it feels like there is a very thin coat of something on the belt/board but the manual said nothing about ever applying lube. Is this the case on this treadmill? You just don't add any lubricant for the entire life of the treadmill? That does not sound right.
Good question. Check out this blog here that describes the process.
www.nordictrack.co.uk/learn/how-best-lubricate-your-treadmill/
@@waltsreviews90 The manual says not to lube with silicone, does not give any info on when or how to lube, makes it sound like it never needs lube. I am sure many machines damaged due to poor communication. I contacted the company about it and they said, Yes, it has to be lubed on a regular basis like any other treadmill. But that using regular treadmill lube made of Silicone can damage the belt. And that I need to use NordicTrack brand non-silicone petroleum based lube that I have to buy from them. I do not know if it is true silicone will damage the belt or if that is total BS to get people to buy their brand of lube for profit. The machine is expensive and I have to error on the side of safety and buy their expensive lube for now until I can get more information. You have the same treadmill as I do, have you been lubricating it? and if so what kind of lube have you been using?
Anyone got any good maintenance tips for this model? Does the belt take lubrication?
Yup, I would recommend lubricating the belt. I believe that Nordic Track sells lubricant and there is also general treadmill lubricant available.
Thanks for a great review I've already ordered mine.** I would suggest that you unplug the unit after each use since your children play on it. I know that would be a pain but just a good precaution. Not sure if it has a key I did not hear about that if you take it out every time they could put it back in. So many accidents with children and treadmills especially younger children.
Thanks for the tip, that's great to know!
Hi! I know this is an older post, but I'm currently considering buying this treadmill. But I've seen in other videos where the plastic housing at the foot of a different treadmill had caught the person's foot/shoe during use. We plan on also using this treadmill for exercising our very energetic Husky (always supervised, of course) and his paw getting caught in those "caps" is a HUGE concern for us. You mentioned that specific housing was broken off on your treadmill. Did you notice any functionality/safety issues because that housing was broken off? If it's possible to remove those without function or safety problems, I would be interested in removing them to protect puppy feet. Thanks so much for your review - was very helpful!
If I'm understanding the concern, I don't think it should be an issue. If you're looking at the caps at the very bottom, or the feet, then I don't think that would be a concern. You can also buy a dog treadmill, though that's not ideal if you are planning on using it too.
@@waltsreviews90 Yes. The caps at the end (back?) of the treadmill belt that you mentioned in the vid (the one was broken off when you received the treadmill)- you haven't had any issues with functionality of the belt or treadmill due to its absence? I am considering removing those if possible to avoid any possible paw injuries (paw getting stuck between belt and plastic cap). And yes, my SO and I will be using the treadmill also.
Just curious if you got this treadmill and trained your husky to use it? I'm wanting the try with my energetic Golden Retriever! 😊
@@retrieverlover8228 we did get this treadmill! We like it for ourselves but have not successfully had our husky on it (husky's inabilities, not because of the treadmill). If at some point we do get him on it I'll get back to you! 😊
Great review! Thank you!
No problem, thanks for watching!
Hey Walt....Excellent review!!
I was lookin to purchase and place in my basement but the measurement from my floor to ceiling is 7 foot and I'm 6' 1"
How much clearance when step on the treadmill. I suppose an inclined walk would be out of the question in my basement.
You'll definitely be cutting it real close! On the higher end, you have roughly 10 inches from the ground, and 6 on the lower end. Not to mention every time you take a step you'll be that much closer to the ceiling.
It’s funny you said to walk outside in the summer and inside on the treadmill in the winter.
Here in SC it’s the complete opposite! I long for the outdoor walks fall and winter! 🥵
Your video just convinced me to get this for $50 off of FB marketplace ☺️
Thanks for the review!
Where us the link for assembly?
I cant find it.
Hope this helps!

Had this in my cart to purchase. I walk 10k+ steps a day on my weight loss journey. Due to recent issues I’m unable to walk outdoors in the Texas heat. After watching your video I completed my purchase. TY
thats exactly like me, once you stop for 1-2 days its going to get worse lmao gotta be consistent. thanks for the review. just ordered the T 7.5S hopefully that is good
Do you have to sign up to IFit to use it? or can you use it without the app out of the box?
You can use it without the app if you want.
very very good review, thank you for sharing!!
No problem, hope it helps!
Hi Walt, what's the best way to contact you for a potential collaboration?
Hey @Vision Tina. Email is the best way to get in touch with me - waltsreviews012@gmail.com
Thanks!
How has this treadmill held up for you since you made this video?
Thanks for this review. We are considering this unit and really appreciate the video....
BTW, you can skip iFit by holding down the "iFit" button for 30 seconds.....or so I hear.
Thanks again!
That's great to know, thanks for the tip!
Are you able to connect your iPhone and play music through the speakers? If so, I can’t figure it out!
thanks so much for the honest review!! I realized this is too big for my small office. I'm 5'2 and 137 but really looking for one with a good incline. I think i can find something smaller with an incline.
Is it programmable
Hi! Thank you, really nice Review! Very helpful, definetly is not a good option for me, you help a lot. Extremely Loud!!! 🙏
Do you need the Ifit app to make it work?
Nope, you can use it without the app.
How much did you pay for it on Amazon????
I can't remember, check out the link below!
simple and sensible review. I just bought this treadmill on sale during this TG, I am yet to get it. Though, I have used it at my friends home but still I was looking for a proper review and I came across yours . Thanks for sharing it.
Does the 10in have a faster top speed than the 5in?
I'm not sure.
Does this skid for a 70-80kg person running?
To be honest, I can't verify that myself. I think someone around that weight range left a comment saying that it worked fine for them. Might be worth looking into a little more though.
Good. info on the App BS was great thanks
You're welcome, glad to have helped.
Great unbiased and thorough review! Thank you!
You're very welcome!
Great review thank you !! Love the honesty ! 🤙🏼
No problem, happy to help!
Walt I watched your video for the first time and I loved it. Straight up-front. I did notice your shoes. Could you recommend a tennis shoe that is best for a treadmill.
Thank you so much for being honest about this. I think it's possible for people to get this, yet it may take some time.
Loved your review and it sold me into getting it. Thanks a lot .
No problem, hope you enjoy it!
Great review my friend. You are not the general public, you’re in better shape then most. 😂
Great review. Exactly what I was looking for.
Great review. Thank you!
You're welcome!
Good review. Hard to tell, but area there any rollers on it in the front to make it easier to move around? I'm needing to replace my current treadmill and it's a handy feature.
thanks. not going to bug you with questions. great review.
Do you have a question?
Hi, what does a 10% incline equate to? Is that similar to what most treadmills at the gym incline to?
Do you ever kick the front floor panel? The console and handles look pretty far up. Thanks
ah so they make yo subscribe to an app it comes with that is shady so just going to avoid Nordic track not going buy a companies product that does that nonsense
Thank you.
You are the best..So useful before buying one.
Thanks so much for your time!
Very well done. Thank you
Thanks for watching!
the issue i have is i smell a burning smell like motor over heating after 1 hr . Did anyone else have this issue. i purchased it from Sears but our sears shut down.
I never noticed any smell like that.
Man i am going through the exact same thing right now did you ever figure out this issue?
@@jalikwilder5357 yes it was a plastic bag melting on my exhaust SMH .. if your car is lowered sometimes those bags in shopping parking lots get underneath the car
@@jalikwilder5357 i thought this was about my car but with the treadmill i open the cover and gound a burned wire connector to motor and stripped the wire back and put a new connector.. but it seems like motor heats up around 50 minutes of run time.. also you can try adding tension on the belt on treadmill to allow the belt to move steady
What’s the VT bottom center of the display?
Great video thank you!
My pleasure!
What kind of maintenance is required for this treadmill?
Are you able to connect to blue tooth with it and play music?
Great review. I'm considering buying and was happy watch this and get an honest opinion
Great review! Thank you for all the details!
No problem, glad to help!
Great informative video, thank you!
No problem, hope you enjoy your NordicTrack!
