The x22i and x32i have very similar features. The main differences are outlined below:
Treadmill Features
X22i has a 22” HD Touchscreen
X32i has a 32” HD Touchscreen
Aside from size, both touchscreens function the same. The consoles have been updated in 2021 so they are faster with reduced buffering time. The updated Android 9 OS system is also faster and more responsive.
The touchscreen works well even with sweaty hands. Much of the functionality of the treadmill is embedded in the touchscreen, which cleans up the console nicely and reduces visual clutter.
The HD screen brings the outdoors to you via abundant iFit routes you can run all over the world. The size and graphics of the screen are impressive and really make you feel like you are right there, running alongside the trainer.
Quiet Drive Incline Tech
The new models have an even quieter incline drive so there is very little noise at all as the treadmill inclines and declines through various speeds.
+40% Incline to -6% Decline
Additional incline adds more training variables to your routine. If you want to work hard but stay low-impact, you can engage one of the higher incline settings and still get a great workout without having to run.
Incline training also engages glutes and hamstrings by changing the angle of the body. Training at multiple incline levels helps balance anterior and posterior muscle groups to offset quad dominance or knee tightness from too much pull on the IT band.
Reflex™ Cushioning in deck
Reflex cushioning absorbs a significant amount of the impact from running. When running on a non-cushioned surface (like outdoors), the impact force of each downward step can be up to double a runner’s weight. When not cushioned, a runner’s joints and spine absorb most of this impact.
A support system under the deck allows a few inches of travel to absorb foot impact. While the deck is sturdy, providing a stable surface for good form and a strong toe-off, springs underneath the platform cushion the impact from each step.
Reflex cushioning not only protects the body from joint impact, it also reduces impact fatigue, which means you can workout harder and longer without getting injured.

X22i has a 4.0 CHP DurX™ Commercial Plus Motor with 22” x 60” Tread belt
X32i has a 4.25 CHP DurX Commercial Plus Motor with 22” x 65” tread belt
Bluetooth® Compatible with Wireless Headphones and Two 3” Digitally Amplified Speakers
A recent update by iFit now allows you to connect to wireless headphones so you can listen without disturbing those around you.
You can also sync your phone via Bluetooth to play your music through the treadmill speakers if you prefer. The two digitally amplified speakers provide clear sound and have multiple volume options.
Dual AutoBreeze™ Workout Fans
Two fans provide good air flow with minimal noise. There are three settings and an auto-mode (where fan speed corresponds to belt speed). Fans are a good height.
One Touch® Controls on Console with updated Live Control feature
Preset speed controls line the right side of the console with incline buttons on the left. These display large numbers which are easy to read and reach, so you can quickly adjust speed and incline when needed. - กีฬา
Why would you choose the X22i or the X32i over the other? Let us know in the comments!
being tall, I wish I could get the extra 5inches of belt on the x32 with the console on the x22.
I got the x22i thanks to this video. I just preferred the console layout, needed space for my phone. Thanks for making this video.
My husband will want the X32i and I will want the other one. 😂
@@katodan0611 don’t do it. Mine broke within 30 days. There’s hundreds of reviews with people complaining about them breaking. Customer service is awful. Try ringing them they never pick up. The sales line is always answered though. This company is atrocious.
@@kryptoniteee thank you!!
Great side by side review / comparison of these two treadmills. Excellent work!! Please keep up the pace for us. Cheers!,
Thanks! We're glad the videos are helpful!
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(!!) to install it properly. AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE!! Thank you!!
Great video! The console button differences in height info was super helpful
I watched 3 of your reviews and commended your detailed review; it helped me pick the x22i for cost-saving and deck design to hold my water or phone. Thank 🙇
Your reviews are always the best!
Thank you! Glad you like them!
I had buyer’s remorse for about 1 day after choosing the updated x22 over the x32, but, after this review (and your review of the 2021 update for the x22) I’m now super stoked with my choice.
Your reviews are super helpful, in depth and more informative than most others (including manufacturers marketing or other indie sources like consumer reports!) - keep up the great reviews!
Thanks! Glad they are helpful :)
Thank you sooooooooooo much for this review. I'm sold on the X22i
A big thank you from Seattle. Fantastic Review!
Thanks for watching! We appreciate it!
These reviews are so well done. I bought a treadmill back in August and still enjoy watching all the reviews. Thanks.
Thanks for watching, we appreciate it!
Thank you for the review. Are you going to review the 2022 x22i? Thanks.
Thank you very, very much for this excellent review! 👍🏻🙏🏻 Greetings from Germany!
Glad it was helpful!
This helped me a lot with my decision between both. Thanks a lot.
Excellent helpful video!!
If you are short (5 ft or less) the limited angle of the X22i screen makes it hard to see. The X32i is better for shorter people.
Great video, I was considering the 2950 and now want that 32in screen lol.
Same here! : )
Spoiler Alert!! Please exercise caution and sound judgement before buying this product. Their customer support is ignorant and you will likely regret it in weeks if not days. You pay so much for it and there is absolutely nothing you can do once you’ve bought it and face these issues. First they shipped the treadmill in parts it took 3 or 4 months. Then I had billing issues. They billed me twice saying they were sending a second one since the first shipment had missing parts, it took forever to resolve and now the belt does not move. Good luck if you do decide to buy it. I own one and now I feel stuck with it. The belt stopped moving in 6 months and in under 400 miles that I’ve used it for. If you do magically manage to get to help desk - they will literally ask you to open console (which is ridiculous), they use self service concept through a video app. If something happens they don’t even respond to your calls/emails. I dread the music they play when you wait for help and worst thing is they try to sell you more stuff while you’re on hold for hours. 😅 holy macaroni!
I noticed that when running on the X22i, you were much closer to the rear of the belt, to the point a couple of times I felt like uh-oh... It seems like just a little inattention and you could more easily get in trouble. I'm 6' 1" and have proportionally long legs, so I'm glad we decided on the X32i.
Eric I just added my experience on the x22i as a 6’ 173lb guy. It was the cross bar that I found somewhat annoying because my arm swing had to be adjusted so I didn’t hit it.I too also felt I had to pay close attention to location on belt .
Please can you do a review on the Bowflex Treadmill 22
I really love the way how detailed you are with honesty, thank you so much! I would like to ask if what treadmill and elliptical for a person who is tall like 6’5”? I just want to make sure that my husband can use it too and not only me. You recommendation will be highly appreciated!
I'm glad our reviews are helpful. Our reviewer Matthew is 6'5" and he can used the x22i or x32i comfortably. They both provide plenty of space. Your biggest consideration is going to be ceiling clearance. The x32i inclines to 34" off the floor at the full 40% incline, so add that to the height of your tallest user and then we suggest another 12-18" of clearance for bounce while running, etc. As long as your ceilings provide enough headspace, he should have plenty of room on the treadmills themselves.
As far as ellipticals go, we'd recommend either the Sole E35i or the Nordictrack Commercial 14.9. We DO NOT recommend the FS10i or FS14i as these ellipticals can rock significantly when used by larger individuals.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru You are awesome! Thank you so much, now I know what to buy! 🥳🥳🥳🥳
Great job, thanks
Can you compare these with/against the Bowflex treadmills
Decided to go with the X22i My wife preferred the better storage / water bottle access. She also didn't want to pay the extra $1200 ish for the 32i. I on the other hand would have gone with the X32i hands down because of the bigger screen. I do not see myself adjusting the settings so much that the lower controls would have mattered. But I would have loved that bigger screen :( oh well... The boss said X22i so that's what we got :)
Let us know what you think of it! We'd love an update on your experience :)
boy were you really about to spend 1.2k more just for a slightly bigger screen cmon now you could buy 2 giant TVs for that price increase
@@787310 Almost... ;)
@@TreadmillReviewGuru Still loving it! Great machine
I'm not sure that your eyes will be happy with a 32 inch TV at arm's length ))
Hi, thanks for the great reviews. Do these machines have any apps for watching TV? Like Netflix?
Not preloaded. There is a "hack" you can use to access the Android tablet directly and then download various apps. There are several other videos (not ours) on TH-cam that describe how to do this. It can impact the functionality of the machine since iFit has to be running in the background at the same time, so do some research on this beforehand if you are interested.
X32i we go!!!! Thank You!
Thanks for watching! Enjoy your new machine!
Thank you for the review! If you had no budget constraints, would you still buy the x22 over the x32? The x32 console designed seems odd to me. Too much screen and little to none room for phone or water bottle.
I prefer the x22i over the x32i because I don't need that large of a screen, so for me I'd go with the x22i.
I wonder which gyms have these also how much gyms make a month from there members.
Is it better to walk fast or run on a treadmill?
Sorry if I missed this somewhere but I can’t seem to find it...can you Bluetooth to the audio for the programs?
Yes you can. Both machines sync easily with any Bluetooth enabled headphones
Just wondering how tall you are? I'm 5'9" and I like the placement on the 22, being higher. I wonder why the 32 has the screen so low? I like to look straight ahead when I run, better posture. How does it feel to you?
Good question! I am 5'5" and one of my issues with the x32i is the screen is rather low. Because it is so large, it isn't overly noticeable - it fills your line of vision. However, the control panel beneath the screen is set rather low as well. For taller users, I imagine this would be an issue, especially when the deck is inclined - this lifts you up, further from the screen & control panel.
One of the reasons I prefer the x22i is because the screen placement feels more natural to me.
I picked the X321. This is a really big machine. With the incline you have to think carefully about placement. Don't put it under the ceiling fan unless you have 10' ceilings. 🙃
Thanks
After listening to Chase the Summit, I am skeptical about both machines. Sad, because I love that incline.
can you do one between the x series versus the commercial series? maybe x22i vs 2950
Good idea! We'll put that on the list.
🔥
Hello, I just returned the 2021 x22i. My main concern was that the crossbar interferes with my arm
Swing while hiking and walking fast. I was recovering from foot surgery so I was not able to run but what I did gel as the incline and speed increased was a feeling that I needed more length behind me. Notice where the console supports are seated back further than the X32i . Also note that the crossbar on the x32i is curved up. I think the placement of the crossbar on the x22i gets in the way. I’m 6’ tall and 173 lbs. I just wish I felt better to give it a longer more thorough test . It was also noisier than the previous X22i I sent back due to damage on delivery. I ordered over the holidays and had to wait 45 days before it was delivered . I think ithe first one was used . The high demand during the pandemic and short staffed delivery companies wreaked havoc on the process.
What's the benefit of paying extra for installation? Is assembly easy? Could save a bit..
Assembly is not overly difficult. It takes two people and around two hours. We assemble all of our treadmills ourselves here at the studio. We learn more about them this way and save ourselves the set-up cost. However, it does take a bit of time and upper-body strength, so have a strong friend on hand and maybe a bottle of wine ;)
Doesn't it have a pause button?
We are waiting for a manufacturer that will allow you to simply connect your monitor with a VESA mount ))
I would consider buying one of these since my old Spirit treadmill is dying....but I think if you put these in a garage it voids the warranty? No room in the house, so I need it in the garage or not at all.
That is true, from our understanding of that "void the warranty" statement from NordicTrack, if your garage is a dedicated and well ventilated space then you should be good to go. But if you're putting your treadmill in the garage next to the lawn mower or something like that, that's where your warranty will void. Let me know if you have any follow up questions on that.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru Nope....just a garage. Keep golf clubs, freezer, dryer, etc etc in there.
Do you know if Sole has this same restriction for use in the garage? I can't run any more and just use the treadmill for hard uphill walks.
Do you need 20 amp circut?
This was a great review but I’m still torn between the two. Is there one that you prefer over the other?
It's hard to argue with the 32" touchscreen on the x32i -- it really is amazing. But in our opinion the x22i is a better deal. It's $500 less but still offers the same functionality. (They recently raised the price on the x32i). Unless you are tall and need the extra 5" of deck length on the x32i, we'd opt for the x22i just based on price to value ratio.
Thanks so much! The Canadian pricing ends up being $1200 more for the x32i :(. I already bought it but maybe I will change to the x22i
@@conniemorris3289 I wouldn't send it back... if you've already ordered it (and can therefore afford it), you'll love the x32i! For many people the price tag puts it out of reach, so we want to reassure buyers that the x22i is also a great machine for a good price. But side by side, the x32i is extremely impressive and that screen is to die for!
Amazing! Thank you for the awesome review! Do you also review other Nordic track products aside from treadmills (fusion cst)?
@@conniemorris3289 we haven't reviewed the Fusion CST yet, but we do have reviews for exercise bikes, rowers, ellipticals, and other fitness equipment. Check out our website for all the written reviews;

So, after getting my refund back . Peloton still hadn't picked up my treadmill. What should I do? I contacted them three different times to get it picked up but every time they were supposed to show up and pick it up. they never call me to say they aren't going to show, they just don't show up. What should I do. Keep it, and never reply to them ? Or try and contact them for the fourth time ????
keep it and fix it and resell it?
How much is a membership? Do these machines still operate without a membership?
The machine will come with a free 1 Year membership when you purchase the machine or else it's $33/month. But you can use them with the membership, you will just still need an internet access to use any of the onboard workouts.

@@matthewtalarico3563 Unfortunately, iFit only comes free for the first 30 days now.
I have a new X22i that quit working and it’s been 6 weeks of calling, emailing and no response. I really regret spending so much more net on this machine. Just sick over it
Are both foldable?
Which one is quieter?
They're really similar. We didn't find one to be noticeably quieter than the other.
How much of a burn do you get on your calves with the highest incline?
27
Do these treadmills fold up?
No, neither the x22i nor the x32i fold up
Can you go on youtube with it?
Unfortunately, no you can't watch TH-cam on either of these consoles.
All treadmills made in China ??
The belt on x22i is way too short!!! BOTH the x22i and x32i screen is too low forcing you to look DOWNWARDS. TERRIBLE for your neck!!!
I have the x32i but it's AWFULLY designed... meaning the height of screen which CANNOT be moved higher 👎
THIS IS ABSOULETLY NOT TRUE! THE VIDEO STUCKS IN EVERY 5-7 SECONDS FOR 0.1-05 SECONDS! SO BAD I HAD TO SEND IT BACK FOR FULL REFUND! ABSOULUETLY NOT GOOD VIRTUAL EXPERIENCE LIKE A BAD 480P VIDEO ON A 32 INCH DISPLAY WHERE YOU CAN SEE ALL THE PIXELS.

Absolute junk. Less than 2 years in motor and board went. Cheaper and easier to fix yourself. Previous treadmill lasted 10+ years with heavier use
Is there a better treadmill out there that has a large screen and an immersive experience?
Is x22i is foldable or not and does this include TH-cam as well or just their fitness app
