I just got my 1750 all set up and running. The deck cushioning knob was completely inoperative. That part came reassembled. I was really impressed by Nordictrack’s customer service though. After about 15 minutes on the phone, they are sending a technician out to fix it. One kind of weird feature, is that the screen does not go to sleep. The only way to turn the screen off is to unplug the machine. And Nordictrack does recommend that you do this. That seems like a design flaw. Where my machine is situated it is not convenient to unplug the machine after each use.
Please see the solution posted above about the cushioning knob.. It is a bit hard for the first time but once you know how to release the bar it gets smoother "the knob isn't really strong enough to move the bar on its own. To adjust the cushioning, I have to actually fold the treadmill so the deck is inverted. I then turn the knob with one hand while I push the bar with the other into position. It locks up inside the U-shaped anchor to brace the deck, and pops out of the U-shaped anchor to release the deck and amplify the cushioning. For the video, we demonstrated turning the knob to move the bar, but really, it takes two hands and is best done when the deck is lifted. Hopefully, this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions."
Yes you can. You don't have access to the full iFit library, but there are still classes and routes you can select from the free library. It also has manual mode.
You mention if you don’t like Ifit or don’t need it , there are other treadmills that are more for basic use. Which ones do you recommend if I don’t plan to utilize IFIT? Thanks!
The Sole F80 or Sole F85 are both good options. The new 2021 Sole F85 has a touchscreen whereas the Sole F80 is a basic LCD screen. Neither requires a subscription for workout content.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru thank you for the response! I do like the Sole- your review of the S80 and 85 and how the buttons don’t really lend itself to be user friendly are making me rethink that treadmill. The 1750 seems to be a quality machine even with or without subscription, don’t you think?
@@ryanseeley781 Yes, we love the 1750. It's one of our top recommended treadmills due to the great combination of features and price. The NT 1750 has a much better console than the Sole treadmills. You don't need to use iFit, but you do need a WiFi connection.
Looking into buying this treadmill used. The treadmill is about 4-5 years old has a few broken plastic pieces and cup holder to the left of the screen and the fan tray is cracked but still works good, what do you think ? For 475$
which one you recommended between marathon commercial lifespan vs this NordicTrack 1750, as I have bit knee issues. I prefer better cushioning or I don't need ifit app, I want at least screen to watch something TH-cam, Netflix while doing work out. Maximum I will be doing it 40 mins workout. Pleas advise me, thanks in advance.
Thanks for the thorough review. I had settled on this treadmill but you said if you don’t want iFIT then there’s not much point to it. Can you recommend a machine that has all of the c1750’s other features but with no iFIT ?
The closest one is probably the Sole F85. It has a 10" touchscreen on the 2021 model with a few preloaded external apps (CNN, Netfllix, Hulu, etc.). But it doesn't require its own subscription to operate.
You can reach out to NordicTrack and see if they them back in stock. You can buy them separately but last time we reached out about it (about 3 weeks ago) NordicTrack told us that the tablet holder is out of stock. Sorry that doesn't help much, let us know if you have any other questions.
Great review! I recently purchased the 1750 and I love it so far. One question- when adjusting the flex on and off, it seems a little confusing. Should the knob be vertical for the flex to be “On” or should it be horizontal? It was vertical when you were running, and then horizontal when the man was running.
If you lift the deck, you'll be able to see the bar underneath. There is a long bar that spans the width of the deck and four springs along the underside. When the knob is turned "ON" the bar is moved downward, away from the deck, which allows the springs to provide more cushioning. When the knob is turned "OFF" the bar moves up and locks under the deck to limit flexion and prohibit cushioning from the springs. There's a bit of play with where the knob may be turned before the bar moves. It's actually really hard to lock and unlock the bar - sometimes I have to fold the deck and then use my hand to move the bar while I turn the knob to get it to lock and unlock. Sorry, long explanation. Does that help at all?
I just noticed a new 2022 version of this treadmill and planning to buy that one. Please let me know if the features match and if there is a review coming up
The new 1750 has a larger screen, is quieter, but has a slightly smaller motor at 3.5hp instead of 3.75hp. You'll be hard-pressed to notice any difference in motor power. We plan to review the new model as soon as we can get one in our studio.
I have the 7” model from a year or 2 ago and they’ve improved every shortcoming: better graphics, bigger screen, faster/quieter incline motor, and they’ve reinstalled the deck cushioning adjustment and moved that darn deck hood back a bit. I’m pretty happy with my machine but this looks just about perfect! The only negative change: I assume they’ve taken out the HDMI port. That is one feature I really appreciate on my machine - even with the weaker graphics.
Hi. How wide is the ledge above the fans? I'm hoping to set a 12 inch iPad there, but can't find pictures anywhere of someone doing that. Want to make sure it fits before purchasing. Thanks!
Your reviews seem to be very well-balanced. I'm looking at either the 1750 or the Sole F85. I don't really think I have use of the iFit. For the 1750 without iFit, how many programs are available on the 2021 model? Can one still use the heart rate control function? How about "customized" routines? Thanks!
Considering how many problems I've heard regarding faulty equipment in NordicTrack, I'd go with the far more reputable Sole machine. Their customer service is also much more responsive.
Thanks for the review! I have just purchased a 1750 C and I have a couple of questions: Will using the cushioning effect wear out the belt quickly? And how important and necessary is it for the knee and joints to turn on the cushioning effect?
Using the cushioning won't negatively affect the deck. I always leave the cushioning feature on - it is noticeably more comfortable and seems to enable me to run longer without discomfort.
I have been doing research and the treadmill store here mentioned that the NordicTrack Commercial 1750 is a DC motor. Would that mean that it cannot be used continuously for extended number of hours? What is the maximum? We plan to run on the treadmill as a family, probably 5 hrs max everyday. Is it still an ideal treadmill for our use?
Pretty much all treadmills use DC motors. Yes, the 1750 motor will support running quite well. 5 hours per day is a high demand on any treadmill. We can't attest to how that much use will impact the motor over time, but there are many 1750 treadmills with hundreds of miles of use that are still going strong.
No, you can't stream external content on the screen. It is designed to feature iFit content only. Without an iFit subscription, you are limited to a few programs, manual mode, and Google Maps routes.
I’ve had foot and mild knee issues is the best cushioned home treadmill under $2k? Also, What is the best cushioned none subscription option in that price range?
@@TreadmillReviewGuru Thanks so much! I ended up going with the 1750 (I haven’t received it yet) after having a chance to run on the 2020 model of the 2450 and the F80 and F85. The placement of the running hood (I hit it several times while running on the Sole treads…but that was more my fault than anything) and the cushioning is what led to my decision. The manual mode doesn’t seem so bad for what I want (I’ll know more when I get it). I really really liked the Sole brand treads they were really easy to move. I just like really liked the 1750 deck a lot more and the price (1599) was really good for what it offered
@@Remainunshaken That's great! You'll like the 1750. It definitely has more cushioning than the F80. You can also use the 1750 without a subscription if you prefer.
Thanks for the great review. I am planning to get 2019 model as that is current model in my country at the moment. I can also wait for few months and then probably 2021 model is available. Is 2021 model worth the wait time (and probably a higher cost of few hundred dollars, given the 2019 model is a bit discounted)? Or the difference are minimal ? Please let me know!
The 2021 model has an upgraded console so it loads the programs faster; and it has slightly improved graphics. The incline motor is also a little quieter and faster. However, the functionality is exactly the same. I have the 2019 model at home and I haven't updated mine bc I don't think it's necessary for the extra price.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru Thank You! After reading your reply, I ordered the 2019 model ! If you do not mind, I have Another question - I see some people are using a kind of 'hack' to load Netflix etc. I get it, that, it is simpler to use the screen on the treadmill but the resolution of 2019 version looked much inferior to a 11" iPad and if you have an iPad or any recent tablet (I am assuming most of the buyers of these expensive machines do), then I do not see a reason to actually use the screen on the treadmill other than to check the stats of my workout. Am I missing something?
@@satishfaction42 iFit has made it much more challenging to hack the console. You can't really do it anymore. You can certainly set an iPad on the console to display any content you would like. The Sole treadmills are a good option if you're looking for something that displays your stats without an attached touchscreen.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru Thank You! I have got the Nordictrack 1750 (2019 model) !! It is very nice especially the build and the tread size. In the video you mentioned that when you rotate the Reflex shock knob, you will be able to see movement on the crossbar. However, in my case, I see no change with the rotation of the knob. Is there some thing that I need to release so that the knob/cross bar can engage? I know that you are not Nordictrack support but I thought this might be something simple which did not figure it out
@@satishfaction42 the knob isn't really strong enough to move the bar on its own. To adjust the cushioning, I have to actually fold the treadmill so the deck is inverted.

The 1750 has a wider deck, larger motor, higher 15% incline than the Elite 1000's max 12% incline, and the 1750 also can decline to -3%. The 1750 also has a little bit more cushioning so it feels a little softer to run on. Both are great treadmills, the 1750 just has a few upgraded features. The new 2022 version of the 1750 also has a larger screen that's 14" rather than 10".
It's not hard to fold and pivot. Once it's assembled, it won't fit through a standard door frame, so you can move it around within a room, but don't plan to move it from room to room
You can go straight to manual mode if you want. You can also access the limited iFit library if you don't want to pay for a subscription, but the 1750 isn't designed to allow you to use other apps or browse the web, etc. There is a 'hack' you can use to bypass iFit and access the Android tablet directly, but this can void your warranty so we recommend caution when using that option.
We recommend you turn it off and unplug it for safety. If you have children, it's best to remove the safety key as well and store it somewhere out of sight.
Hi! Great review!! Would you or anyone else have the exact dimensions (width and height) of the 10” and 14” screens (1750 vs 2450)? I’m looking for help finding these exact specs. Thanks so much!
Each if the reviews keep mentioning 1 yr of ifit included but that is nowhere on the website, was that a promotion that went away? A 1yr subscription included would make this a simple solution
Yes - iFit reduced the free trial period from one year to 30 days just last month. We are working on putting banners on all our video reviews to reflect this change.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru I was afraid of that, having that one free year would have made me pull the trigger right away. Now we are going to see if we can find any of these models locally to actually try them before dropping that much money

The treadmill's great! It's just that there's pounding noise of your mic.
I’m in between the NT 1750 , peloton tread and the pro form 9000. Any insight would be appreciated
Thanks!
Can you still use the treadmill without the ifit subscription? Thanks
Yes you can. You don't have access to the full iFit library, but there are still classes and routes you can select from the free library. It also has manual mode.
Best treadmill reviews! Nice and thorough
Thank you! Glad our reviews are helpful.
