That was a great review. Thanks for showing it in action. Too many treadmill reviews don’t ever show anyone actually running on the machine. Great work. Thank you!!
Great reviews! I compared the sound of this, and the Sole F80 from your other review. The F80 not only sounds quieter, but more smooth and efficient sounding. The 1750 sounds rough, like more wear and tear is happening. I purchased the F80. I don’t need another membership from Nordictrack. Thank you for the great information.
Best review ever!!! Im so glad you were able to hop on and demonstrate how the treadmill performs while actually running. Just ordered one should arrive in two days!!!!
As many others I was on the fence between the 1750 and the proform 5000 after this review I’ve decided on the 1750. Thank you for such a detailed hands on review. 😊👍
Thanks for the review I was two minded on this treadmill versus the proform pro 5000, But have decided to go for this treadmill for me and my partner to add to our home gym to continue our weight loss and training regime :)
Gracias. Me ha servido de mucho este video donde se destacan las características más destacadas de esta máquina lo cual me ha ayudado a decidirme a la hora de comprar mi cinta de correr. Es tal y como se describe en este magnífico Video review con esta chica tan maja. Al final después de largos meses investigando sobre cuál sería la mejor cinta calidad precio y he comprado la Nordictrack Comercial 1750 Modelo 2021/22 . Solo puedo decir que no puedo estar más contento con ella: -Robusta pero liviana a la vista, silenciosa, con un amplio tapiz como el que puedas tener en la máquina del gym y lo más espectacular de todo son los entrenamientos de ifit, los cuales te motivan de una manera que si no lo ves no te lo crees. Ayer estuve corriendo con una chica guapísima por el cañón de colorado y he de decir que realmente estaba allí con ella. y como este hay cientos de entrenamientos. Pagas muy a gusto la membresía porque realmente es un buen servicio y esta currado. También en los entrenamientos es consciente de tus progresos y aplica velocidades según tus exigencias. Solo quería compartir lo contento que estoy con la compra, mi consejo es que muchas veces la cinta más barata suele ser en realidad la más cara. La comercial 1750 vale cada euro que pagas. Saludos. David.
Fantastic review. This was the machine I was thinking of and this review sold me. Sadly they're not available in the UK now, and NordicTrack are out of stock.
Another great detailed review ("...pivoting the machine to an incline of 15 and I'm going to run at 5mph. Now listen to the sound and watch for the cushioning..." @19:00+). Excellent. All these 1750 features sound great(!) but [ danger word : - ) ] with them reducing the length of their warranty and the significant number of complaints I've seen about Nordictrack / Icon's customer service / service departments, I'm thinking to forego the attractive (desired) features for what seems to be more durability and longevity with Sole (F80)... Looks like this time I won't be able to have "both." Thanks again for the review...
If a fan is important to you you're likely to be disappointed with the Sole F80. I was also leaning toward it but was able to walk on one today at a local sporting goods store and the fan is just terrible, completely inadequate for me, as I definitely like some breeze when I'm walking or running.
@@oRexter Actually I'm changing my mind and will probably get the Sole B94 upright exercise bike. Less money, takes up less space and it's easier to move, and you still get a good workout. I'd like a treadmill but they take up so much space and are difficult to move around.
Exactly the struggle I am having due to customer service and warranty complaints. . I don’t know that I HAVE to have all the extra tech features from the NT so I was considering the Sole F80 but then i recently found a slightly used 2450 for half price which is a tad cheaper than the F80 new...really considering it.
Well.. Thanks for the review. You helped me decide to get this one. I just purchased mine! I can't wait for it to arrive. I have a nordictrack rower and love it.
Another quick question, if I may. The user manual says when you turn the machine off to turn the switch to the off position than unplug the machine from the outlet (or surge protector), whichever. My question is, do you really have to unplug the machine after each use? It seems a bit over-doing it. Most machines, after say 5 or 10 minutes of inactivity, it will go off by itself. Or just turn the on/off switch to the off position. What do you recommend?... Thanks, Tommy
Great question, we usually keep our machine plugged in, but the screen never really shuts off, it just stays on the screen saver. If you want your screen to turn off entirely you will need to unplug the machine or just switch the machine off, that is up to you.
Thank you for the excellent review. I bought one a few months ago based on your review and very happy with the treadmill so far. I find the tablet hard to see when you have to step off the tread to do weight or HIIT exercises. Any recommendations for a iPad holder than can swivel so I can use the iPad instead of the screen? Thank you
Thank you for the great review (I saw this and your ProForm Smart 5000) - I think the 1750 is much more quiet during running for sure..less booming echo sound compared to the PF.
Is this a good machine for a second floor apartment living? Can someone downstairs hear it or feel like the roof is going to fall through? I'm not sure if the cushioning prevents or helps with this.
It kind of depends on your building. The 1750 is solid and sturdy but it's still a treadmill and any running can cause lower floor noise. If you place it on carpet or a treadmill mat that will help a lot to reduce vibrations. Good luck!
You are right. The screen doesn't power down, it stays in screen saver mode. To get the screen to completely shut off you have to turn off the power switch that is on the front of the deck.
@@Nextraker Get a smart switch for your wall outlet. That way you can turn it off from your phone. It eliminates the pain of plugging and unplugging everytime you use it.
do you have a recommendation between the Proform 5000 and Nordictrak 1750? both seem so much the same.. do you have a written comparison or pros and cons list?
Right now we'd recommend the 1750 because NordicTrack upgraded it for 2021 with a quieter incline drive. We received a new 2021 model this week and it is noticeably quieter. It also has a faster processor for less lag/buffering time. The ProForm 5000 and NordicTrack 1750 are very similar functionally but these upgrades make the 1750 a better machine overall.
I was in the same situation, but if you listen to both TM's at 7 mph run speed - the NT 1750 is MUCH more quiet..I set up time stamps on both videos so you can check out for yourself. I ordered the 2021 1750 Commercial - excited to try it out.
Does this machine have the 50 onboard workouts that are not tied to iFit? If so, how do I access them? I just want to do a quick interval, time or distance-based run. Is this possible? *edit* I see in your written review that the device has these. Can you help me find them? I'm only seeing the iFit workouts, not graph style, no voice-over workouts. Also, thanks for your review, it helped push me to purchase this machine!
Yes, the 1750 has 50 preloaded programs that are independent of iFit. You can access these through the Library section on the 1750 touchscreen. They include HIIT training, endurance runs, sprints, rolling hills, etc. There is also a manual mode, so you can do your own thing as well.
Hello? We are thinking of buying this treadmill but would like to know what happens to the screen if we don’t renew the iFit subscription? What will be shown in the screen at that point? And seeing how we don’t want the iFit feature, should we be considering another machine? Thank you!
If you don't subscribe to iFit, you still access all the free classes through the iFit library, only the subscription ones are locked. The free classes include outdoor and indoor options that still offer good training. You also have access to manual mode without iFit. If you don't want iFit, I'd maybe recommend looking at the Sole F85 or Sole F80. They are good machines that don't require a subscription.
Can you answer me, if I don't want to pay I Fit anymore or can't afford it in the future, what will I get with this treadmill, a screen in blank? Can I plug in a video from an external device? Please, explain.
You can't play any external videos but you will be able to use the unpaid version of the machine that has several free iFit workouts or just manual workout mode.
NOTE: This product works exactly as described. th-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'm not sure what you mean by "raised foundation." Do you mean you want to put the treadmill up on blocks? We recommend only using your treadmill on a solid floor. Wood, concrete or carpet are all fine. If you plan to build a faux floor that would firmly support the treadmill like a solid floor it would probably be okay. But if the treadmill doesn't have enough support underneath it can compromise the integrity of the deck.
really glad I found your channel. excellent reviews. I love the folding feature and padded belt but am enticed by the Tread+. I am 55 and curious how much the flexible belt will matter - on the Tread is it a tough surface for joints for older runners? is the difference significant?
The Tread+ is a great option for young or conditioned runners, but it may be too hard for those with joint issues or older users. The Tread+ really doesn't offer a lot of shock absorption, so if that's a concern, we'd recommend the Nordictrack 1750 or a Horizon treadmill -- they have substantially more cushioning in the deck.
Debating between this one, since it appears to be on sale on Nordictrack's website (a new 2021 model of the 1750 is coming out) and the newer model proform pro 2000 which now has a 10 inch screen . Which would be the best choice?
The newer model has a larger touchscreen which is a nice feature but it has a smaller motor and rollers. We'd recommend the 1750 because it is more powerful and more cushioned.
The non-subscription programs come preloaded on the machine. However, NordicTrack will often provide a free iFit "workout of the day" or update content on their preloaded programs via an internet connection, so even if you don't subscribe to iFit, having access to the internet will enhance the functionality of the 1750.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru I have the same issue of living in a rural area with very limited internet (streaming is very difficult and we have a data cap each month). Is the functionality extremely limited without internet? Do you need to be connected to the internet to use the pre-loaded workouts? I really love this treadmill but would hate to pay the price for it to essentially only give me manual mode.
When you increase your pace on the IFIT programs will it go through the iFit program faster? So if I want to run at 6:45min/mile pace and not 9:00min/mile will it work for that pace you want?
You can adjust the pace to be whatever you want. However, this will not change the length of the program. For example, a 30minute run will still be 30minutes, you'll just run more miles in that length of time if you pick up the pace.
@@TheSloanlogic Both pace and incline are automated unless you change them. So yes, the incline will follow the natural terrain or whatever the trainer has set for the class. You can adjust them separately. For example, if you adjust the pace, the incline will stay automated with the trainer unless you adjust that as well.
What about the the pulse tracker. Does it really show the heart beats? To see if that feature really works or is it's only for marketing the treadmill.
iFit comes free for the first year. After that, you can opt not to pay for it. There are free programs on the machine but you'll need an internet connection to access them even if you don't use iFit.
The Sole F80 is a great machine. It does offer a lifetime warranty which is awesome. The 1750 offers more cushioning in the deck and we like the console layout better. It also has iFit with over 16,000 workout videos (classes, outdoor runs, walks, hikes, etc.) and a full color touchscreen, but after the first year, you have to pay monthly for the subscription. So it kind of depends on what you are looking for. You can't go wrong with either one. For comfort and content, we recommend the 1750. For durability and simplicity, go with the F80.
The 1750 no longer includes a tablet holder at the top of the console. However, you can place a tablet on the lip in front of the screen and it will stay just fine. It will block part of the screen though.
I could really use a recommendation. My wife runs 5 miles almost every day. I like to do HIIT training or jog using my Peloton subscription. I’m looking for a well built treadmill that I could use my peloton app with. OR, maybe a great treadmill with no screen that I could just set my iPad on to do classes. Any suggestions? Thanks
The new Peloton Tread (not the recalled Tread+) is a solid treadmill. The Tread doesn't fold up, so you do need a dedicated space, but one Peloton subscription will cover both a Bike and Tread so you don't have to pay for two. If you use the Peloton digital app on a tablet, the Sole F80 is a good option. It has a tablet holder above the console and a simple LCD screen that doesn't require a subscription. Watch the Sole F80 video review here: th-cam.com/video/V2NDn8yIec8/w-d-xo.html We have a video on the Peloton Tread that is in production and should be done in the next few days.
The data bar still works even if you don't pay for iFit. You cannot use the screen with 3rd party apps unless you hack the console, which can affect how the programming works. The screen won't mirror, sorry.
Hi Kacey! I have almost decided on purchasing the NT 1750, but I have one final question. What treadmill would you recommend to a 25-35 mile per week runner who is looking for a cushioned deck but does NOT need the luxuries of fans, touchscreens and interface programs?
I basically just want to run in climate controlled conditions? I can stare at the wall and run, I don't need to be entertained. I do, however, need a cushioned ride because my 40 year old hips and knees remind me that they are aging daily! :)
@@Stephanie-tr3vd good question. We get that question a lot. In our experience, the Nordictrack machines still offer the best cushioning. If you don't need iFit, you don't have to extend your membership past the first year. For joint support and impact absorption the 1750 is a good option.
Another question occurred to me: If you are doing an iFit program and lose Internet connection, what happens? Does the machine stop running or does it automatically switch over to manual, or ??? The lower level of our house where this would go can have spotty WIFI.
We've lost internet before and it pauses the program for a minute or two while trying to reconnect. If no connection is made in a minute or two then it kicks you back to the main iFit screen. If your wifi is spotty a modem extender might help strengthen the signal for remote areas in your home.
Yes, the 1750 has a 10" display screen. Other Nordictrack machines have a 7" touchscreen, but the 10" is our minimum recommendation for size -- it is large enough to see and enjoy the programming and also has large enough touchscreen buttons you can navigate the interface.
TreadmillReviewGuru Thank you!! Great reviews. I was also wondering. You do not. need the iFit subscription correct? The free year is great but after that I’d rather not have to pay anything.
@@jeffhallman676 Correct -- you do not have to pay for iFit to use the machine. There are several preloaded videos and workouts on the machine that would be sufficient for a comprehensive training program. iFit is a nice addition, but it's not necessary to use the machine.
Hey, so I have this treadmill! My question is about the speed buttons, and I'm having trouble going from a sprint to a jog- when I hit 6 button it doesn't do anything and when I hit the 6 button again it goes to 6.6 mph. How do I go right to 6.0?
Sometimes we have that problem too. When you hit a button quickly twice in a row, it will jump to that speed. So if you hit 6 twice quickly it goes to 6.6. When you hit a button, wait a few seconds to see if it changes before you hit it again. If after the second time it goes to 6.6 (for example) hit 6 again and it should go back to 6mph. We're not sure why it doesn't seem responsive the first time, but we have one machine in our studio that does this as well.
Thanks so much for this thorough review! Do you know if all the Nordic tracks handlebars are the same length? I ask because my mom is 86 and will be using one.
Most of the NordicTrack handlebars are roughly the same length and the same height from the track. The incline trainers (x11i, x22i, and x32i) have slightly longer handlebars.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru Great! I ordered the 9000 but wasn’t able to get any 3rd party reviews of it so there’s a lot of hesitation there. According to their support team it has an HDMI output to display what’s on the screen onto another TV- that was what tipped the scale for me so I’m hoping I didn’t get bad info from them. I would love to know if you see an hdmi port on the one you guys receive. I subscribed as well- you all are the only channel I can find with such detailed & consistent reviews. Keep up the good work
Also I’ve heard that it won’t allow you to go faster than 7:30min/mile pace on a decline setting. Is this true? This isn’t good for marathon training-what if your marathon pace is 6:45min/mile and you want to crank it on a downhill? Especially if you were doing a googlemap marathon race course run.
You are correct, when in the lowest -3% decline, the pace is limited to 8mph or 7:30min/mile. This is for safety. You can run faster on a flat grade, but it does limit your speed at the full decline.
TreadmillReviewGuru thx. It would be great if you showed the cons of these machines. It’s hard to find what doesn’t work for runner. Limiting at 7:30 pace is way too slow. Also is there a time limit for these machines? How long can you run before it shuts down?
@@TreadmillReviewGuru Thx. Having the Nordic track limit your speed on a decline to 8mph is a deal breaker. For example the Boston qualifying time for a male 40yr is a sub 3:!0---so a 7:30min/mile pace is just too slow. There are tons of complaints about this and really defeats the purpose of "running" the courses if you can't go faster on a downhill section. I hope Nordic Track can fix this, otherwise all the iFit courses are pointless for faster runners.
The Sole F80 has a simpler console and doesn't require an internet connection. It has a higher weight limit and longer warranty. The NT 1750 is more cushioned, so it's more comfortable to run on, has a touchscreen with a better console (buttons for each speed and incline). But it does require an internet connection (even if you don't use iFit) and if you want to use iFit after the first year, there is an ongoing subscription ($15/month for one profile $33/month for 5 profiles). They're both good treadmills, so a lot of it comes down to which features you want and will use. Good luck!
@@misterwenuje I actually think that is the option I am going to take as well. As cool as the 2450 is, I failed to consider my basement ceiling height into the equation. I am 6’3” and with the NT deck height fully inclined I would hit my head on the ceiling so it looks like the F80 is going to be my choice!
Fantastic review, and not just this one. You’re the official treadmill review channel, in my view. One question : in terms of cushioning, durability, frequent issues (electronics or mechanical), and just generally the feel of running, what are the differences between the sole F80 and NT 1750? Which one did you feel was better for you? Thanks!
Thanks! The Sole F80 is durable and very sturdy. We have had little to no mechanical or other issues with the Sole treadmills we've used and tested. Sole provides a full lifetime warranty on their treadmill frames which is a reflection of the quality. However, the Sole treads are not as cushioned as the Nordictrack treadmills. The Nordictrack treadmills are more cushioned and have more advanced tech -- so they are better if you want video content with Live and recorded classes, a Leaderboard and regularly updated content. But Nordictrack machines but only have a 10 year warranty on the frame rather than lifetime. If you want something simple and durable, we recommend the Sole F80. If you want something more comfortable with more cushion and video content, the 1750 is better. Hope this helps! Good luck!
Can this machine handle heavy marathon training miles and paces? In training, I will sometimes run for 2+ hours at a time, 15+ miles. Speed paces can be less than 7 minute miles (8.5mph+) Can this machine handle that workload on a regular basis? Is it better than the Sole F80 for this type of work? Should I look at an even more upgraded NordicTrack? My weight is roughly 150 lbs. Thank you.
We recommend the Nordictrack 1750 over the Sole F85. Sole has really upgraded the touchscreen on the F85 but the console is still a bit dated and lacks much of the functionality available on the 1750.
The Pro 9000 has a larger screen, but all other components on the 1750 are better. The 1750 has a larger motor, more cushioning, higher incline and it's wider by 2 inches. The screen on the 1750 is a bit smaller, but it's the same size as an iPad or tablet, so you can see it easily and the touchscreen buttons are large enough.
It can be depending on how the building is constructed and the surface of the floor. We recommend using a treadmill mat underneath to help mitigate vibration and noise.
It takes just under a minute for the deck to fully incline from 0 to 15. This allows you to continue to run/walk without feeling unstable as it inclines. The decline speed is the same.
You can't attach a tablet holder -- however, there is a thick ledge on the 1750 console just above the speakers that provides enough room for a tablet. I frequently set my iPad here while using the 1750.
The screen is the exact same size as a 10" tablet. I will often set my tablet in front of the screen. If you angle the screen just a touch there's enough of a ledge for a device. The metrics will continue to run in the background while you watch your tablet, but you won't be able to see the data screen with your tablet there.
Not really. The console is built into the machine and the screen is embedded in the console, so while the deck may shake a bit if you are running fast, the console itself is pretty stable.
The 1750 has over 50 preloaded programs including highlighted workouts of the day that show up for free as well. You have to have an internet connection even if you don't subscribe to iFit to access the free classes.
That is a great question! We tried it out this morning to see if it would work, and yes! We were able to stream iFit through a mobile hotspot on a phone. As long as the signal on your phone has enough bandwidth to support streaming, you should be fine.
Hi Kacey! You provide the best treadmill reviews. Which treadmill company provides the best customer service ? Although I love all the functionality and details offered by Nordic track, their customer service seems to the #1 complaint I’ve noticed by several owners...too many owners.
Thanks! In our experience (and based on other user reviews) we consistently find Sole to have the most favorable customer reviews. However, Sole treadmills are not as tech-enhanced as other treadmills, so while you are getting something very durable and well-built, Sole treads don't have subscription content, a touchscreen, or app integration. In our testing studio, we've only had an issue with two NordicTrack machines, both of which we were able to get fixed. We haven't found NT to be exceptionally bad -- however, each user's experience stands for itself.
I'm in the market for a treadmill. I've read a lot of mixed reviews regarding the 1750. Your video helped me lean more towards Norditrack, but I'd love to know what the cons are of this model. Can you share?
The 1750 is a great all-around treadmill. If you have issues with the touchscreen it can be difficult to fix and if you don't use iFit some of the features are limited. If you want a tech-enhanced treadmill this is great, but if you want something simpler the Sole F80 is a good option as well.
@@cassandrasmoot5867 We haven't experienced the touchscreen dying so we can't speak to that directly. However, most of the functionality of the treadmill is navigated through the touchscreen so you'd lose all metric data, etc. The speed and incline buttons should still work if you have power, but most other functionality would be limited.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru Great thanks for the info. We've decided to go with the 2450 for bigger screen since 4 people will be running on it daily. Our current tread is not cutting it.
@@mcgong How are you enjoying the 2450? Would you purchase it again? I run about 25-35 miles a week and I am looking to save my dying knees and hips as well as avoid the cold weather runs. Thanks in advance.
@@Stephanie-tr3vd So I actually upgraded to the 2950 with the bigger screen and so far the experience has been 50/50. I run about the same distance as you and the cushioned desk DEFINITELY helps. The iFit software continues to improve a lot, I'm always getting firmware updates, so it's good to see them working to improve it. They are always adding new features and video content. I think there is something for everyone at every level, but the app still isn't as polished in my opinion and is very sluggish. If you are trying to look for a new run or trainer, you could spend 10mins or more search because the interface is so slow on the machine. Most of the time I just manual mode and run using Zwift on my iPad, but the rest of the family enjoys the videos. I don't mind just zoning out and staring at the the screen, builds character :). Would I buy it again? For the deck, yes. For the screen and iFit, maybe, as I think they will improve it more. Overall build quality of the unit, maybe not. Like another poster said, the build quality lacks a bit and I think Sole is built a lot better ( I had a Sole prior). Looks wise (if this matters), yes as the machine looks great even though its a beast of a machine with a huge footprint. if it dies today, would I buy it again....good question...I think I'd spend more and get a Techno Gym My Run just because it works with Zwift and smaller footprint. If that wasn't a choice, then yes, I'd probably buy this again for the running surface. Hope that helps.
@@mcgong Thanks so much for taking the time to respond. Like you, I can look at the wall and be completely content. In my ideal world, I would have a cushioned treadmill that wasn't "smart." I don't need fancy touchscreens or interface capabilities, I just want to run on a dependable tread! Thanks again. I have been stalking nordictrack for the past month and have been inundated with complaints ranging from customer service to the actual treads. Thanks again for the response. I have heard so many good things about the cushioning of the deck, I may bite the bullet and pray for the best!
I'm leaning toward the Sole 85 because of the better warranty, but at age 66 with sore knees, the cushioning is a concern for me. Is the 1750 really that much better re: cushioning than the Sole 85?
It depends on if you plan to walk, jog or run. The 1750 does have a bit more cushion, but if you are just planning to walk, the Sole F85 is a great option. For running, we recommend the 1750 because it allows for more travel under the deck. The 1750 also has iFit with video workouts for walking and hiking (which I personally like). You can incline the deck, turn on a program, and hike alongside a video of the New Zealand mountains. The Sole console is simpler and doesn't have any video programs, but it also doesn't require a subscription. Good luck with your search! You should be fine with either the 1750 or F85.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru Thank you so much! Your reviews are awesome and your quick responsiveness is amazing and much appreciated! PS I actually was able to see and walk on a Sole F80 treadmill today at a local sporting goods store. Nice treadmill but the fan is completely inadequate for me! I'm someone who really likes a bit of breeze while I walk or run and if the Sole F85 fan is the same as the F80, I would definitely be unhappy. Do you know if the F85 fan is any better than the F80's? I think I'm back to looking at the NordicTrack 1750!
@@conniekehrer2952 unfortunately the Sole fans are all about the same. They provide very little air flow. The 1750 fan is well powered and has four settings: low, med, high and auto (where the fan responds to belt speed). If a fan is a determining factor for you we would definitely recommend the 1750.
You should be fine. The 1750 has a 3.75HP motor which will support regular use. However, if you are interested in comparable models with a higher weight capacity, you could look at the Sole F85 which has a 4.0HP motor and a 400lb weight capacity. The Bowflex BXT216 also has a 400lb weight capacity, a 4.0HP motor and a bit more cushioning than the Sole F85.
Is that Tablet part of the machine or is that you? After ifit subscription runs out does this tablet it have capability to run TH-cam, News and ot Netflix? If not can I cast my Android to the tablet?
The tablet in the center of the console is an embedded touchscreen. It cannot be removed. You can't cast externally from another device to the screen. The screen will only display iFit classes and content, so you can't watch Netflix or the news. If you don't pay for a subscription the screen still works, but it will only show the free classes, not all the content.
Great review - debating between this and the 2950! 1750 is €1999 and 2950 is €2850, is 2950 really worth the extra cash? Also considering the Sole F63 or F85. Really some long runs and intervals during winter is plan and my wife may walk.
The 2950 has a larger motor and screen. It is our favorite folding treadmill, but as you mentioned, it jumps a bit in price. You get a great value with the 1750 -- so you can't go wrong with either one. The Sole F63 is a good treadmill for walking, but we don't recommend it for long runs. The console is a bit dated and there isn't as much cushion in the deck. The Sole 85 works well for running and has a bigger motor -- but the 1750 and 2950 both offer more cushioning in the deck and much more tech enhanced screens than the Sole machines.
@@roryg3381 you really only need the 2950 if you plan to do lots of long distance running. The 2950 has a 4.25HP motor and the 1750 has a 3.75HP motor. Most users won't notice a difference. It's really only an issue if you are dedicated to heavy training (10+ miles per day). Aside from a larger screen on the 2950, they both have the same features and the same weight capacity. The 1750 provides an excellent cost to benefit ratio and is one of our favorite treadmills. If you plan to use it for running, jogging, and walking (as you mentioned), the 1750 is a great choice.
Unfortunately no, you can't sync earbuds with the 1750. There is a way to hack the console which allows you to access Bluetooth from the Android tablet, but this could void your warranty if you have a problem. Many users have reported success with this solution, though.
@@virarama907 if it is a Bluetooth chest strap it should pair. If it is ANT+ it won't as the 1750 isn't ANT+ compatible -- but usually it is only the Garmin chest straps that use ANT+
That was a great review. Thanks for showing it in action. Too many treadmill reviews don’t ever show anyone actually running on the machine. Great work. Thank you!!
This is the most informative review I have seen! Thank you for all the detail. I have made my decision based on this review
Thanks Christine! We're glad the review is helpful!
Great reviews! I compared the sound of this, and the Sole F80 from your other review. The F80 not only sounds quieter, but more smooth and efficient sounding. The 1750 sounds rough, like more wear and tear is happening. I purchased the F80. I don’t need another membership from Nordictrack. Thank you for the great information.
How does the sole feel on the joints. My wife has minor hip pain and I have a little knee pain. Is it a rough run?
I love my Commerciak 1750. I’ve had it for over 2 years and it is still going strong.
Best review ever!!! Im so glad you were able to hop on and demonstrate how the treadmill performs while actually running. Just ordered one should arrive in two days!!!!
Awesome! We hope you love it!
Amazing review. Best I saw so far and I’ve been checking on treadmills for over 3 months now...
Hey what did you end up buying?
This woman makes excellent reviews. Very informative and illustrative.
Great channel.
Thanks for watching!
As many others I was on the fence between the 1750 and the proform 5000 after this review I’ve decided on the 1750. Thank you for such a detailed hands on review. 😊👍
Great! We're glad it is helpful
Great review! Glad to see someone actually using it and moving it around. Thank you.
Very informative and well explained, thanks to this video I can make my decision and I feel confident in my purchase. Thank you.
Great treadmill. I've got the 2020 model and have put 500 miles on it with no issues.
Great to hear!
Thanks for the review I was two minded on this treadmill versus the proform pro 5000, But have decided to go for this treadmill for me and my partner to add to our home gym to continue our weight loss and training regime :)
Hey did you purchase this treadmill I want to buy it aswell
You’ve answered ALL of my questions! 🙏 🙏 🙏
Gracias.
Me ha servido de mucho este video donde se destacan las características más destacadas de esta máquina lo cual me ha ayudado a decidirme a la hora de comprar mi cinta de correr. Es tal y como se describe en este magnífico Video review con esta chica tan maja.
Al final después de largos meses investigando sobre cuál sería la mejor cinta calidad precio y he comprado la Nordictrack Comercial 1750 Modelo 2021/22 .
Solo puedo decir que no puedo estar más contento con ella:
-Robusta pero liviana a la vista, silenciosa, con un amplio tapiz como el que puedas tener en la máquina del gym y lo más espectacular de todo son los entrenamientos de ifit, los cuales te motivan de una manera que si no lo ves no te lo crees. Ayer estuve corriendo con una chica guapísima por el cañón de colorado y he de decir que realmente estaba allí con ella. y como este hay cientos de entrenamientos. Pagas muy a gusto la membresía porque realmente es un buen servicio y esta currado. También en los entrenamientos es consciente de tus progresos y aplica velocidades según tus exigencias.
Solo quería compartir lo contento que estoy con la compra, mi consejo es que muchas veces la cinta más barata suele ser en realidad la más cara. La comercial 1750 vale cada euro que pagas.
Saludos.
David.
Thanks for watching!
Fantastic review. This was the machine I was thinking of and this review sold me. Sadly they're not available in the UK now, and NordicTrack are out of stock.
Another great detailed review ("...pivoting the machine to an incline of 15 and I'm going to run at 5mph. Now listen to the sound and watch for the cushioning..." @19:00+). Excellent. All these 1750 features sound great(!) but [ danger word : - ) ] with them reducing the length of their warranty and the significant number of complaints I've seen about Nordictrack / Icon's customer service / service departments, I'm thinking to forego the attractive (desired) features for what seems to be more durability and longevity with Sole (F80)... Looks like this time I won't be able to have "both." Thanks again for the review...
If a fan is important to you you're likely to be disappointed with the Sole F80. I was also leaning toward it but was able to walk on one today at a local sporting goods store and the fan is just terrible, completely inadequate for me, as I definitely like some breeze when I'm walking or running.
@@conniekehrer2952 so what treadmill did you purchase I was leaning on this one
@@oRexter Actually I'm changing my mind and will probably get the Sole B94 upright exercise bike. Less money, takes up less space and it's easier to move, and you still get a good workout. I'd like a treadmill but they take up so much space and are difficult to move around.
Exactly the struggle I am having due to customer service and warranty complaints. . I don’t know that I HAVE to have all the extra tech features from the NT so I was considering the Sole F80 but then i recently found a slightly used 2450 for half price which is a tad cheaper than the F80 new...really considering it.
Realy great review, can't wait to have this machine home. Hope it dosn't take long now :)
Very complete overview. I appreciate the time spent on the functionality of the control panel.
Thank you! No one mentioned the key so I was getting angry. I appreciate you doing this.
Fantastic review... thank you for posting. Your insight proved indispensable in selecting the right home treadmill.
Thank you so much. We're glad we could help.
SOLD...NOW IF I CAN FIND ONE! THANKS GREAT REVIEW. Nick
Professional and thorough review- just what I needed to watch... thank you!
Link is broken. It send you right back to this YT video review of the product.
Aside from that issue, really good review. Thank you!
Well.. Thanks for the review. You helped me decide to get this one. I just purchased mine! I can't wait for it to arrive. I have a nordictrack rower and love it.
Hey How do you like it so far?
Hello! Can you give a review on this treadmill?
Another quick question, if I may. The user manual says when you turn the machine off to turn the switch to the off position than unplug the machine from the outlet (or surge protector), whichever. My question is, do you really have to unplug the machine after each use? It seems a bit over-doing it. Most machines, after say 5 or 10 minutes of inactivity, it will go off by itself. Or just turn the on/off switch to the off position. What do you recommend?... Thanks, Tommy
Great question, we usually keep our machine plugged in, but the screen never really shuts off, it just stays on the screen saver. If you want your screen to turn off entirely you will need to unplug the machine or just switch the machine off, that is up to you.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru Thank you.
Great review you really helped me choose the best treadmill for my apt.
great explanation and detailed description, plus you are beautiful..! I am buying it!
You need more subscribers, nice review! I am getting this in a few days. Subbed 😊
Thanks!
Hi, does this have a HDMI output so you can link to a tv?
Thank you for the excellent review. I bought one a few months ago based on your review and very happy with the treadmill so far. I find the tablet hard to see when you have to step off the tread to do weight or HIIT exercises. Any recommendations for a iPad holder than can swivel so I can use the iPad instead of the screen? Thank you
Hands down a great and proper review especially the last 2 sections!
Thank you for the great review (I saw this and your ProForm Smart 5000) - I think the 1750 is much more quiet during running for sure..less booming echo sound compared to the PF.
want to buy a treadmill looking to get NT 1750 or proform smart pro 5000 which one has better cushion .
We prefer the 1750. It has more cushion in the deck and is slightly more comfortable to use.
The 1750 is much more quiet too during running.
How is this treadmill compared to the Bowflex T216?
Is this a good machine for a second floor apartment living? Can someone downstairs hear it or feel like the roof is going to fall through? I'm not sure if the cushioning prevents or helps with this.
It kind of depends on your building. The 1750 is solid and sturdy but it's still a treadmill and any running can cause lower floor noise. If you place it on carpet or a treadmill mat that will help a lot to reduce vibrations. Good luck!
How do you turn it off? Mine stays on
You are right. The screen doesn't power down, it stays in screen saver mode. To get the screen to completely shut off you have to turn off the power switch that is on the front of the deck.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru what do you recommend that I do? Leave it on or completely turn it off??
@@Nextraker we recommend turning it off. It's kind of a pain, but it's safer for the machine to be completely off rather than in sleep mode.
@@Nextraker Get a smart switch for your wall outlet. That way you can turn it off from your phone. It eliminates the pain of plugging and unplugging everytime you use it.
Safer to always leave them on not off...just like a computer leave them on!
Thank you for the review. I have an elliptical with an iFit. I checked SOLO F80 which is simply to basic. I'll go get this one.
do you have a recommendation between the Proform 5000 and Nordictrak 1750? both seem so much the same.. do you have a written comparison or pros and cons list?
Right now we'd recommend the 1750 because NordicTrack upgraded it for 2021 with a quieter incline drive. We received a new 2021 model this week and it is noticeably quieter. It also has a faster processor for less lag/buffering time. The ProForm 5000 and NordicTrack 1750 are very similar functionally but these upgrades make the 1750 a better machine overall.
I was in the same situation, but if you listen to both TM's at 7 mph run speed - the NT 1750 is MUCH more quiet..I set up time stamps on both videos so you can check out for yourself. I ordered the 2021 1750 Commercial - excited to try it out.
Again Thanks for the amazing review!!!!
Does this machine have the 50 onboard workouts that are not tied to iFit? If so, how do I access them? I just want to do a quick interval, time or distance-based run. Is this possible?
*edit* I see in your written review that the device has these. Can you help me find them? I'm only seeing the iFit workouts, not graph style, no voice-over workouts. Also, thanks for your review, it helped push me to purchase this machine!
Yes, the 1750 has 50 preloaded programs that are independent of iFit. You can access these through the Library section on the 1750 touchscreen. They include HIIT training, endurance runs, sprints, rolling hills, etc. There is also a manual mode, so you can do your own thing as well.
Hello? We are thinking of buying this treadmill but would like to know what happens to the screen if we don’t renew the iFit subscription? What will be shown in the screen at that point? And seeing how we don’t want the iFit feature, should we be considering another machine? Thank you!
If you don't subscribe to iFit, you still access all the free classes through the iFit library, only the subscription ones are locked. The free classes include outdoor and indoor options that still offer good training. You also have access to manual mode without iFit. If you don't want iFit, I'd maybe recommend looking at the Sole F85 or Sole F80. They are good machines that don't require a subscription.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru Thank you so much!!
I just order this treadmill. Does it have Bluetooth audio for wireless headphones?
Yes, you can sync your wireless headphones to the console in iFit. This is a new feature they just added!
the 2021 version has wireless headphone BT option for the 1750, the previous version does not.
Can you answer me, if I don't want to pay I Fit anymore or can't afford it in the future, what will I get with this treadmill, a screen in blank? Can I plug in a video from an external device? Please, explain.
You can't play any external videos but you will be able to use the unpaid version of the machine that has several free iFit workouts or just manual workout mode.
Great review, thank you. Do you know what the step up height is - the height from the floor onto the belt of the treadmill?
The step up height is 11 inches. When fully inclined, the deck tilts to 17 inches off the floor.
NOTE: This product works exactly as described. th-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!!
Can this safely sit on carpet and a raised foundation? Would there be too much pounding on a raised foundation that it would hurt the floor?
I'm not sure what you mean by "raised foundation." Do you mean you want to put the treadmill up on blocks? We recommend only using your treadmill on a solid floor. Wood, concrete or carpet are all fine. If you plan to build a faux floor that would firmly support the treadmill like a solid floor it would probably be okay. But if the treadmill doesn't have enough support underneath it can compromise the integrity of the deck.
Best review ever! Thank you!
really glad I found your channel. excellent reviews. I love the folding feature and padded belt but am enticed by the Tread+. I am 55 and curious how much the flexible belt will matter - on the Tread is it a tough surface for joints for older runners? is the difference significant?
The Tread+ is a great option for young or conditioned runners, but it may be too hard for those with joint issues or older users. The Tread+ really doesn't offer a lot of shock absorption, so if that's a concern, we'd recommend the Nordictrack 1750 or a Horizon treadmill -- they have substantially more cushioning in the deck.
Debating between this one, since it appears to be on sale on Nordictrack's website (a new 2021 model of the 1750 is coming out) and the newer model proform pro 2000 which now has a 10 inch screen . Which would be the best choice?
The newer model has a larger touchscreen which is a nice feature but it has a smaller motor and rollers. We'd recommend the 1750 because it is more powerful and more cushioned.
what's your height though? as it would determine your stride size and width of the track for others namely larger people?
Kristen is 5'5". The 1750 provides plenty of space for runners of most heights. Matthew is 6'4" and the 1750 is large enough for him as well.
Do you have to have internet for this treadmill to run programs, or are they pre loaded. We live in the country and have no internet.
The non-subscription programs come preloaded on the machine. However, NordicTrack will often provide a free iFit "workout of the day" or update content on their preloaded programs via an internet connection, so even if you don't subscribe to iFit, having access to the internet will enhance the functionality of the 1750.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru I have the same issue of living in a rural area with very limited internet (streaming is very difficult and we have a data cap each month). Is the functionality extremely limited without internet? Do you need to be connected to the internet to use the pre-loaded workouts? I really love this treadmill but would hate to pay the price for it to essentially only give me manual mode.
When you increase your pace on the IFIT programs will it go through the iFit program faster? So if I want to run at 6:45min/mile pace and not 9:00min/mile will it work for that pace you want?
You can adjust the pace to be whatever you want. However, this will not change the length of the program. For example, a 30minute run will still be 30minutes, you'll just run more miles in that length of time if you pick up the pace.
TreadmillReviewGuru thx how does it affect the incline? Does it just incline at the pace of the trainer?
@@TheSloanlogic Both pace and incline are automated unless you change them. So yes, the incline will follow the natural terrain or whatever the trainer has set for the class. You can adjust them separately. For example, if you adjust the pace, the incline will stay automated with the trainer unless you adjust that as well.
What about the the pulse tracker. Does it really show the heart beats? To see if that feature really works or is it's only for marketing the treadmill.
A Bluetooth heart rate monitor should sync easily with your 1750. Your current heart rate will then be displayed on the screen.
What about the built-in programs? Are there any? Or do you have to buy IFit? I can't find anything on that
iFit comes free for the first year. After that, you can opt not to pay for it. There are free programs on the machine but you'll need an internet connection to access them even if you don't use iFit.
How would you compare this to the sole80. I am looking at the two but see their tread has a lifetime warranty. I am split between the two.
The Sole F80 is a great machine. It does offer a lifetime warranty which is awesome. The 1750 offers more cushioning in the deck and we like the console layout better. It also has iFit with over 16,000 workout videos (classes, outdoor runs, walks, hikes, etc.) and a full color touchscreen, but after the first year, you have to pay monthly for the subscription. So it kind of depends on what you are looking for. You can't go wrong with either one. For comfort and content, we recommend the 1750. For durability and simplicity, go with the F80.
Thank you for the review! Very helpful. However, I didn't notice a tablet holder for this machine. Is that an option for the 1750?
The 1750 no longer includes a tablet holder at the top of the console. However, you can place a tablet on the lip in front of the screen and it will stay just fine. It will block part of the screen though.
I could really use a recommendation. My wife runs 5 miles almost every day. I like to do HIIT training or jog using my Peloton subscription. I’m looking for a well built treadmill that I could use my peloton app with. OR, maybe a great treadmill with no screen that I could just set my iPad on to do classes. Any suggestions? Thanks
The new Peloton Tread (not the recalled Tread+) is a solid treadmill. The Tread doesn't fold up, so you do need a dedicated space, but one Peloton subscription will cover both a Bike and Tread so you don't have to pay for two. If you use the Peloton digital app on a tablet, the Sole F80 is a good option. It has a tablet holder above the console and a simple LCD screen that doesn't require a subscription.
Watch the Sole F80 video review here:
th-cam.com/video/V2NDn8yIec8/w-d-xo.html
We have a video on the Peloton Tread that is in production and should be done in the next few days.
Super nice review.
Are all the metrics available once ifit expires? Can I use the screen with 3rd party apps? Or does it screen mirror? Great review!
The data bar still works even if you don't pay for iFit. You cannot use the screen with 3rd party apps unless you hack the console, which can affect how the programming works. The screen won't mirror, sorry.
Hi Kacey! I have almost decided on purchasing the NT 1750, but I have one final question. What treadmill would you recommend to a 25-35 mile per week runner who is looking for a cushioned deck but does NOT need the luxuries of fans, touchscreens and interface programs?
I basically just want to run in climate controlled conditions? I can stare at the wall and run, I don't need to be entertained. I do, however, need a cushioned ride because my 40 year old hips and knees remind me that they are aging daily! :)
@@Stephanie-tr3vd good question. We get that question a lot. In our experience, the Nordictrack machines still offer the best cushioning. If you don't need iFit, you don't have to extend your membership past the first year. For joint support and impact absorption the 1750 is a good option.
Another question occurred to me: If you are doing an iFit program and lose Internet connection, what happens? Does the machine stop running or does it automatically switch over to manual, or ??? The lower level of our house where this would go can have spotty WIFI.
We've lost internet before and it pauses the program for a minute or two while trying to reconnect. If no connection is made in a minute or two then it kicks you back to the main iFit screen. If your wifi is spotty a modem extender might help strengthen the signal for remote areas in your home.
is the one with the 10 inch display being reviewed?? Screen looks bigger here than in the website photo at nordictrack
Yes, the 1750 has a 10" display screen. Other Nordictrack machines have a 7" touchscreen, but the 10" is our minimum recommendation for size -- it is large enough to see and enjoy the programming and also has large enough touchscreen buttons you can navigate the interface.
Sorry if I missed it but can you adjust speed in between while number MPH? Like 6.2?
Yes, using the +/- button on the bottom of the console, you can increase or decrease speed by .10, so it will move from 6.0 to 6.1, 6.2, etc.
TreadmillReviewGuru Thank you!! Great reviews. I was also wondering. You do not. need the iFit subscription correct? The free year is great but after that I’d rather not have to pay anything.
@@jeffhallman676 Correct -- you do not have to pay for iFit to use the machine. There are several preloaded videos and workouts on the machine that would be sufficient for a comprehensive training program. iFit is a nice addition, but it's not necessary to use the machine.
I'm buying this one it seems perfect
Excellent review!
Thank you kindly!
Hey, so I have this treadmill! My question is about the speed buttons, and I'm having trouble going from a sprint to a jog- when I hit 6 button it doesn't do anything and when I hit the 6 button again it goes to 6.6 mph. How do I go right to 6.0?
Sometimes we have that problem too. When you hit a button quickly twice in a row, it will jump to that speed. So if you hit 6 twice quickly it goes to 6.6. When you hit a button, wait a few seconds to see if it changes before you hit it again. If after the second time it goes to 6.6 (for example) hit 6 again and it should go back to 6mph. We're not sure why it doesn't seem responsive the first time, but we have one machine in our studio that does this as well.
This is a feature! I am wondering about this feature bc I do speed intervals and the phone rep swore it did not do this!
Great review, thank you.
I am looking to purchase either the Proform 9000 or the Nordictrack 1750- what would you recommend? I am looking to do 15 miles a week
We'd recommend the 1750. It is just a step up from the Pro 9000.
Thanks so much for this thorough review! Do you know if all the Nordic tracks handlebars are the same length? I ask because my mom is 86 and will be using one.
Most of the NordicTrack handlebars are roughly the same length and the same height from the track. The incline trainers (x11i, x22i, and x32i) have slightly longer handlebars.
Is treadmill good for knees?
Thank you for the detailed review. Do you plan to do a review of the 2021 1750 model or the 2021 ProForm 9000?
Yes! We already have the new 1750 in and are testing it now. We hope to receive the ProForm 9000 soon. Stay tuned for updated video reviews on both.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru Great! I ordered the 9000 but wasn’t able to get any 3rd party reviews of it so there’s a lot of hesitation there. According to their support team it has an HDMI output to display what’s on the screen onto another TV- that was what tipped the scale for me so I’m hoping I didn’t get bad info from them. I would love to know if you see an hdmi port on the one you guys receive. I subscribed as well- you all are the only channel I can find with such detailed & consistent reviews. Keep up the good work
Also I’ve heard that it won’t allow you to go faster than 7:30min/mile pace on a decline setting. Is this true? This isn’t good for marathon training-what if your marathon pace is 6:45min/mile and you want to crank it on a downhill? Especially if you were doing a googlemap marathon race course run.
You are correct, when in the lowest -3% decline, the pace is limited to 8mph or 7:30min/mile. This is for safety. You can run faster on a flat grade, but it does limit your speed at the full decline.
TreadmillReviewGuru thx. It would be great if you showed the cons of these machines. It’s hard to find what doesn’t work for runner. Limiting at 7:30 pace is way too slow. Also is there a time limit for these machines? How long can you run before it shuts down?
@@TheSloanlogic thanks for the feedback. We are not aware of a max time limit. We've used the 1750 for several hours at a time without a problem.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru Thx. Having the Nordic track limit your speed on a decline to 8mph is a deal breaker. For example the Boston qualifying time for a male 40yr is a sub 3:!0---so a 7:30min/mile pace is just too slow. There are tons of complaints about this and really defeats the purpose of "running" the courses if you can't go faster on a downhill section. I hope Nordic Track can fix this, otherwise all the iFit courses are pointless for faster runners.
having a hardtime deciding between this and the Sole F80
The Sole F80 has a simpler console and doesn't require an internet connection. It has a higher weight limit and longer warranty.
The NT 1750 is more cushioned, so it's more comfortable to run on, has a touchscreen with a better console (buttons for each speed and incline). But it does require an internet connection (even if you don't use iFit) and if you want to use iFit after the first year, there is an ongoing subscription ($15/month for one profile $33/month for 5 profiles).
They're both good treadmills, so a lot of it comes down to which features you want and will use. Good luck!
Which one did you choose? I’m having this debate myself now and it’s tough.
@@sixdubr I got the F80. Just because higher weight capacity which makes it a solid treadmill and also i dont wanna pay for a membership for NT 1750
@@misterwenuje I actually think that is the option I am going to take as well. As cool as the 2450 is, I failed to consider my basement ceiling height into the equation. I am 6’3” and with the NT deck height fully inclined I would hit my head on the ceiling so it looks like the F80 is going to be my choice!
Thanks for the in depth review. Which would you recommend 2021 1750 or the 2021 2450? Is the 2450 worth the $300 difference? Thank you.
Yes, we'd recommend the 2450 if you can afford it. The 2450 has a larger motor and softer deck cushioning. In our opinion it's worth the extra $300
Fantastic review, and not just this one. You’re the official treadmill review channel, in my view. One question : in terms of cushioning, durability, frequent issues (electronics or mechanical), and just generally the feel of running, what are the differences between the sole F80 and NT 1750? Which one did you feel was better for you?
Thanks!
Thanks!
The Sole F80 is durable and very sturdy. We have had little to no mechanical or other issues with the Sole treadmills we've used and tested. Sole provides a full lifetime warranty on their treadmill frames which is a reflection of the quality. However, the Sole treads are not as cushioned as the Nordictrack treadmills.
The Nordictrack treadmills are more cushioned and have more advanced tech -- so they are better if you want video content with Live and recorded classes, a Leaderboard and regularly updated content. But Nordictrack machines but only have a 10 year warranty on the frame rather than lifetime.
If you want something simple and durable, we recommend the Sole F80. If you want something more comfortable with more cushion and video content, the 1750 is better.
Hope this helps! Good luck!
@@TreadmillReviewGuru thanks a ton, again! Great and prompt response! Helpful in deciding .
Can this machine handle heavy marathon training miles and paces? In training, I will sometimes run for 2+ hours at a time, 15+ miles. Speed paces can be less than 7 minute miles (8.5mph+) Can this machine handle that workload on a regular basis? Is it better than the Sole F80 for this type of work? Should I look at an even more upgraded NordicTrack? My weight is roughly 150 lbs. Thank you.
Yes. The 1750 would be great for this type of training.
Which is better this one of the sole 85 new model? Best bag for the cost. NOR 1799 vs SOL 1999
We recommend the Nordictrack 1750 over the Sole F85. Sole has really upgraded the touchscreen on the F85 but the console is still a bit dated and lacks much of the functionality available on the 1750.
Do you think the pro form 9000 is better than this? Seems like pro form is trying to compete with its improved cushioning and much bigger screen
The Pro 9000 has a larger screen, but all other components on the 1750 are better. The 1750 has a larger motor, more cushioning, higher incline and it's wider by 2 inches. The screen on the 1750 is a bit smaller, but it's the same size as an iPad or tablet, so you can see it easily and the touchscreen buttons are large enough.
I found out the 2021 model does not come equipped with an EKG grip pulse nor a chest strap. Not sure why they omitted that.
This is a great review..I like to buy this treadmill but I have a question. Is this noisy if it’s on 2nd floor apartment?
It can be depending on how the building is constructed and the surface of the floor. We recommend using a treadmill mat underneath to help mitigate vibration and noise.
Based on your video, it seems like it took about a minute to go from 0-15 incline and vice-versa. Can you confirm that for me? Thanks, great review.
It takes just under a minute for the deck to fully incline from 0 to 15. This allows you to continue to run/walk without feeling unstable as it inclines. The decline speed is the same.
can you attach a tablet or phone holder? How does one use their own device to watch youtube whilst working out?
You can't attach a tablet holder -- however, there is a thick ledge on the 1750 console just above the speakers that provides enough room for a tablet. I frequently set my iPad here while using the 1750.
Can I put a tablet on console ans still use the speed without blocking anything
The screen is the exact same size as a 10" tablet. I will often set my tablet in front of the screen. If you angle the screen just a touch there's enough of a ledge for a device. The metrics will continue to run in the background while you watch your tablet, but you won't be able to see the data screen with your tablet there.
Does the console shake or vibrate a lot when you run on it?
Not really. The console is built into the machine and the screen is embedded in the console, so while the deck may shake a bit if you are running fast, the console itself is pretty stable.
Is it okay to put this treadmill on a really thick carpet? Thank you.
You should be fine. You can place a treadmill mat underneath if you're afraid the carpet may get tangled when the 1750 is declined.
How can you tell if the runner flex is on or off?
The lever on the side of the deck twists to ON or OFF.
Should I turn off the power when I'm done or leave it on?
We recommend turning it off
If you do not pick up the subscription, how many free programs or workouts are on it. Thanks for your response!
The 1750 has over 50 preloaded programs including highlighted workouts of the day that show up for free as well. You have to have an internet connection even if you don't subscribe to iFit to access the free classes.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru will a mobile hotspot work from my phone instead of in home wireless to operate the 1750?
That is a great question! We tried it out this morning to see if it would work, and yes! We were able to stream iFit through a mobile hotspot on a phone. As long as the signal on your phone has enough bandwidth to support streaming, you should be fine.
Hi Kacey! You provide the best treadmill reviews. Which treadmill company provides the best customer service ? Although I love all the functionality and details offered by Nordic track, their customer service seems to the #1 complaint I’ve noticed by several owners...too many owners.
Thanks! In our experience (and based on other user reviews) we consistently find Sole to have the most favorable customer reviews. However, Sole treadmills are not as tech-enhanced as other treadmills, so while you are getting something very durable and well-built, Sole treads don't have subscription content, a touchscreen, or app integration. In our testing studio, we've only had an issue with two NordicTrack machines, both of which we were able to get fixed. We haven't found NT to be exceptionally bad -- however, each user's experience stands for itself.
Do you know if this treadmill has an hdmi output port?
The 1750 does not have an HDMI output port.
You do amazing reviews. Just saying
Thank you so much that is so nice!
I'm in the market for a treadmill. I've read a lot of mixed reviews regarding the 1750. Your video helped me lean more towards Norditrack, but I'd love to know what the cons are of this model. Can you share?
The 1750 is a great all-around treadmill. If you have issues with the touchscreen it can be difficult to fix and if you don't use iFit some of the features are limited. If you want a tech-enhanced treadmill this is great, but if you want something simpler the Sole F80 is a good option as well.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru Thank you!! Last question, if the touchscreen dies, is the treadmill rendered useless? That is, can you not use it manually?
@@cassandrasmoot5867 We haven't experienced the touchscreen dying so we can't speak to that directly. However, most of the functionality of the treadmill is navigated through the touchscreen so you'd lose all metric data, etc. The speed and incline buttons should still work if you have power, but most other functionality would be limited.
Is the software and functionality of the screen the same as the 2450? Just the 2450 is bigger?
Yes, the functionality of both screens is the same -- only the screen size is different.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru Great thanks for the info. We've decided to go with the 2450 for bigger screen since 4 people will be running on it daily. Our current tread is not cutting it.
@@mcgong How are you enjoying the 2450? Would you purchase it again? I run about 25-35 miles a week and I am looking to save my dying knees and hips as well as avoid the cold weather runs. Thanks in advance.
@@Stephanie-tr3vd So I actually upgraded to the 2950 with the bigger screen and so far the experience has been 50/50. I run about the same distance as you and the cushioned desk DEFINITELY helps. The iFit software continues to improve a lot, I'm always getting firmware updates, so it's good to see them working to improve it. They are always adding new features and video content. I think there is something for everyone at every level, but the app still isn't as polished in my opinion and is very sluggish. If you are trying to look for a new run or trainer, you could spend 10mins or more search because the interface is so slow on the machine. Most of the time I just manual mode and run using Zwift on my iPad, but the rest of the family enjoys the videos. I don't mind just zoning out and staring at the the screen, builds character :). Would I buy it again?
For the deck, yes. For the screen and iFit, maybe, as I think they will improve it more. Overall build quality of the unit, maybe not. Like another poster said, the build quality lacks a bit and I think Sole is built a lot better ( I had a Sole prior). Looks wise (if this matters), yes as the machine looks great even though its a beast of a machine with a huge footprint. if it dies today, would I buy it again....good question...I think I'd spend more and get a Techno Gym My Run just because it works with Zwift and smaller footprint. If that wasn't a choice, then yes, I'd probably buy this again for the running surface. Hope that helps.
@@mcgong Thanks so much for taking the time to respond. Like you, I can look at the wall and be completely content. In my ideal world, I would have a cushioned treadmill that wasn't "smart." I don't need fancy touchscreens or interface capabilities, I just want to run on a dependable tread! Thanks again. I have been stalking nordictrack for the past month and have been inundated with complaints ranging from customer service to the actual treads. Thanks again for the response. I have heard so many good things about the cushioning of the deck, I may bite the bullet and pray for the best!
I'm leaning toward the Sole 85 because of the better warranty, but at age 66 with sore knees, the cushioning is a concern for me. Is the 1750 really that much better re: cushioning than the Sole 85?
It depends on if you plan to walk, jog or run. The 1750 does have a bit more cushion, but if you are just planning to walk, the Sole F85 is a great option. For running, we recommend the 1750 because it allows for more travel under the deck. The 1750 also has iFit with video workouts for walking and hiking (which I personally like). You can incline the deck, turn on a program, and hike alongside a video of the New Zealand mountains. The Sole console is simpler and doesn't have any video programs, but it also doesn't require a subscription. Good luck with your search! You should be fine with either the 1750 or F85.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru Thank you so much! Your reviews are awesome and your quick responsiveness is amazing and much appreciated! PS I actually was able to see and walk on a Sole F80 treadmill today at a local sporting goods store. Nice treadmill but the fan is completely inadequate for me! I'm someone who really likes a bit of breeze while I walk or run and if the Sole F85 fan is the same as the F80, I would definitely be unhappy. Do you know if the F85 fan is any better than the F80's? I think I'm back to looking at the NordicTrack 1750!
@@conniekehrer2952 unfortunately the Sole fans are all about the same. They provide very little air flow. The 1750 fan is well powered and has four settings: low, med, high and auto (where the fan responds to belt speed). If a fan is a determining factor for you we would definitely recommend the 1750.
Thank you so much for this presentaton! This helped me decide in purchasing the 1750 today.
How do you turn off the treadmill?? Where is the power button?
The power button is not convenient! It is located on the front of the running platform down where the power cord goes into the machine.
I weigh close to 300lbs. Is this treadmill right for me since I'm close to the weight limit?
You should be fine. The 1750 has a 3.75HP motor which will support regular use. However, if you are interested in comparable models with a higher weight capacity, you could look at the Sole F85 which has a 4.0HP motor and a 400lb weight capacity. The Bowflex BXT216 also has a 400lb weight capacity, a 4.0HP motor and a bit more cushioning than the Sole F85.
Is that Tablet part of the machine or is that you?
After ifit subscription runs out does this tablet it have capability to run TH-cam, News and ot Netflix? If not can I cast my Android to the tablet?
The tablet in the center of the console is an embedded touchscreen. It cannot be removed. You can't cast externally from another device to the screen. The screen will only display iFit classes and content, so you can't watch Netflix or the news. If you don't pay for a subscription the screen still works, but it will only show the free classes, not all the content.
Great review - debating between this and the 2950! 1750 is €1999 and 2950 is €2850, is 2950 really worth the extra cash? Also considering the Sole F63 or F85. Really some long runs and intervals during winter is plan and my wife may walk.
The 2950 has a larger motor and screen. It is our favorite folding treadmill, but as you mentioned, it jumps a bit in price. You get a great value with the 1750 -- so you can't go wrong with either one.
The Sole F63 is a good treadmill for walking, but we don't recommend it for long runs. The console is a bit dated and there isn't as much cushion in the deck. The Sole 85 works well for running and has a bigger motor -- but the 1750 and 2950 both offer more cushioning in the deck and much more tech enhanced screens than the Sole machines.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru Thank you for the response :) Opinion though is it worth the extra €850?
@@roryg3381 you really only need the 2950 if you plan to do lots of long distance running. The 2950 has a 4.25HP motor and the 1750 has a 3.75HP motor. Most users won't notice a difference. It's really only an issue if you are dedicated to heavy training (10+ miles per day). Aside from a larger screen on the 2950, they both have the same features and the same weight capacity. The 1750 provides an excellent cost to benefit ratio and is one of our favorite treadmills. If you plan to use it for running, jogging, and walking (as you mentioned), the 1750 is a great choice.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru Thank you for the reply, I think that has helped to make my mind up :)
Great review. Very good job. Can you link your Bluetooth earbuds with it?
Unfortunately no, you can't sync earbuds with the 1750. There is a way to hack the console which allows you to access Bluetooth from the Android tablet, but this could void your warranty if you have a problem. Many users have reported success with this solution, though.
Do you know if the Polar H9 heart rate monitor chest strap can pair/connect to the ifit console on the treadmill?
@@virarama907 if it is a Bluetooth chest strap it should pair. If it is ANT+ it won't as the 1750 isn't ANT+ compatible -- but usually it is only the Garmin chest straps that use ANT+
@@TreadmillReviewGuru Thank you!
