Hi Jon - I am looking at a Proform 9000 and a NordicTrack EXP14i - Proform 9000 has a 3.6 CHP motor while EXP14i has 3.5 CHP and Proform 9000 has a 22 inch screen while EXP14i has a 14 inch screen - Both build by the same manufacturer - CAD 200 difference only in price. Had the impression that Nordictrack was better but not so sure now...
It really depends on what you are looking for a treadmill and I honestly don’t know a lot about the motor. I’ve been using this for a bit now and probably my only dislike is it bounces more than my liking and it squeaks sometimes but everything else ( screen, programs, size, and etc. ) is good 👍🏼
Thanks! For sure, putting it on a flatter surface will make it more stable but I think the running deck will probably remain bouncy because of rebound pro technology. To be honest with you, it’s bouncier than my liking but putting some incline between 0.5 - 1.5 % kind of fix the issue.
@JonExplores Can you tell us if it's possible to start the treadmill at 0.1MPH or, if the lowest default starting speed is the usual 0.5MPH, can you bring down to 0.1MPH manually?
What is your honest opinion on this tread. I have someone offering it to me for $500 since they no longer want it and they got it in 2021. Also I noticed the peloton app, can you use peloton on this? I wouldn’t be paying for the ifit subscription only using if for a treadmill.
Seems like the front end of the machine and screen show a lot of bounce when you are running. Also, much noiser that videos of NordicTrack 1750. I'll Pass.
Hello Jon, Quick question! In the beginning, it said *Android Starting* and you clicked on *iFit* application. Does it come like that where it opens the *Normal Android Screen* to choose an app? I have seen people unlock the Android capabilities to run Netflix and other applications. Please let me know.
It comes locked to iFit but we unlocked it so we could access android home screen and load additional apps (Peloton, Netflix, TH-cam etc). You can unlock the machine and run it in split screen to have two apps open at once

Great video and very real review. I have a concrete floor in the basement so I'm hoping it won't bounce. Good luck with your training!

Hi I’m having trouble with the bar underneath that helps with the storage. Did you use that or did you just skip it?
Is it still worth it without using ifit?
Hi there, just wondering if and hoq we could load in netflix and TH-cam on the device
You could load pretty much any App before but now they did an upgrade, it doesn't work anymore
How often you added oil… and how?
Thanks
I’ve never done that
Future review: real Boston vs iFit Boston!
I sure will after the race 👍🏼

Yup! it’s very bouncy and it also squeaks from time to time.
That is a feature. Cushioning - great for those with joint issues.
Hey any update after using it for 6 months
It’s still working fine 👍🏼 no issues so far.

@@JonExplores Hi Jon,
I just got a Proform 9000 and was trying to figure out how to get it unlocked. Can you tell me how you unlocked yours please.
@JonExplores how do you unlock it?
Do NOT get the extended warranty. It's a big waste of $400.
Don't buy it! you can not listen your choice of music. Can not connect with iPad or Phone.
You are basically buying IFIT liability of ~$400 per year!
Do you have to use ifit with it?
When machine not in use, will it go stand by mode?
I think so. I normally turn it off after using it.
