NordicTrack Treadmill Reviews - Very Popular and Packed With Features

NordicTrack treadmills are by far the most popular cardio machines on the market today, and for good reason.  

Even the entry level models come with features and capabilities typically found only on high-end commercial treadmills.

With strong motors, advanced cushioning, incline/decline capability, Smart HD touch screens and a large variety of workouts, they simply can't be beat for the price.

Let's jump into our reviews to see what this hugely popular brand is all about...

Well-Priced and Chock Full of Extras

NordicTrack treadmills range in price anywhere from $1099 for an entry level model to $4499 for the top of the line Incline Trainer. There’s a lot of choice within the lineup, but the differences aren’t in construction or performance so much as in the extras on the individual models.

What sets them apart is the fact that they are targeted to everyone from the casual user to the serious athlete, so everyone's individual needs can be met.

Most of the thought and effort of NordicTrack has gone into making each treadmill model more engaging than the last.

HD touch screens, iFit technology and music compatibility are all meant to help keep you motivated, and that is a good thing for those who find it difficult to stick to a workout routine.

But along with the entertainment features, the company also focuses on the workout itself, with impact-reducing cushioning, large durable belts, incline as well as decline capability and strong, yet quiet motors that are built to last.

The current 2024 lineup consists of the entry-level EXP Series, the popular Commercial Series & the Incline Trainer series.

An In-Depth Look at the Current NordicTrack Treadmills

Although the lines and models change, NordicTrack typically offers an affordable series, an advanced series and an incline trainer series. Each series will have 2-3 treadmills to choose from, with more features as you move up in price.

Here are the current series and treadmills...

The EXP Series

NordicTrack recently introduced the brand new affordable EXP Series, which seems to have replaced the former T Series.

The EXP 7i has a 7" Smart HD touch screen, 20" x 55" running deck, 2.5 CHP motor, 12% incline and up to 12 mph speed.

The EXP 10i steps it up with a 10" Smart HD touchscreen and a 2.75 CHP motor.

The newer EXP 14i steps it up with a 14" Smart HD touchscreen, on top of all of the features and capabilities the EXP 10i offers.

(Note that the EXP 14i might be discontinued as of 2024, as it isn't being featured on the company site. We will keep an eye on that)

These are the most affordable treadmills in the lineup, at around $1,099, $1,399 and $1499 for the EXP 7i, EXP 10i & EXP 14i, respectively.

The Commercial Series

Moving up the ladder you have the commercial models, including the new Commercial 1250, very popular Commercial 1750 and top of the line Commercial 2450 (The 2950 was recently discontinued).

They range in price from $1799 to $2999, and are built stronger and sturdier than the EXP Series models.  

These treadmills feature motors up to 4.25 CHP, up to 15% incline as well as 3% decline, larger 22" x 60" running decks and more advanced cushioning.

The Incline Trainers

NordicTrack is currently the only company offering true incline treadmills. The series includes the new X16 and NordicTrack X24, as well as the X22i and the top of the line X32i. (They may be phasing out the X22i and X32i)

They range in price from $2,999 to $3,999 and are designed for those who really want to ramp up their training and target all of the muscle groups effectively.  

These treadmills feature up to a whopping 40% incline and 6% decline, tons of workouts, advanced cushioning and large 22" x 60" decks.

The Elite Series (Discontinued)

This is one of the newest offerings from NordicTrack...The Elite 22" and Elite 32" are similar to the two incline trainers, except with a more streamlined, modern design and rotating touch screens for easier viewability.

These are the most expensive treadmills in the lineup, at $3,999 and $4,499, respectively.

Treadmill Desks (Discontinued)

For those that like to walk while they work, you have the Treadmill Desk base and Platinum models, at around $999 and $1499 respectively.  

They include oversized work surfaces, USB charging stations and iFit Bluetooth capability.

All of the treadmills, from the EXP Series to the Incline Trainers, feature incline capability, good cushioning, a large amount of workouts, iFit technology and lots of extras...so you really can't go wrong regardless of your budget.

Which NordicTrack Treadmill Should You Choose?

There are certainly a lot of choices when it comes to NordicTrack treadmills, so it's understandable that you might need a little help deciding which one you should buy for your home gym.

According to our latest NordicTrack treadmill reviews, the most popular model is definitely the Commercial 1750.  

It has the perfect combination of features and capabilities for the price.  It's the base model in the series and at around $1599-$1999 or so on sale it's a real winner.

So, if you are looking for an all around solid treadmill for your home, we would start there.  

If you want a bit more...more power, more workouts, larger touch screen, etc. you can bump up to the Commercial 2450 treadmill. If you want to save a little money go with the Commercial 1250.

If you're on a budget and don't quite have the money for one of the Commercial Series treadmills, then by all means go for one of the EXP Series models.  

These are much more affordable, yet have enough features for an effective workout.  

The EXP 10i is the best choice here, but the EXP 7i and EXP 14i are good options as well.

Lastly, if you want to really ramp things up (no pun intended) with steep incline and decline capability, you can't do better than the Incline Trainer lineup.  

They are a little bit more expensive than the Commercial Series, but they offer the ability to boost your cardio and target muscle groups more effectively.  

The most popular Incline Trainer is the X22i, but the X32i is also a great choice.

So to sum up:  if you want a great all around treadmill, look at the 1750 and the rest of the Commercial Series.  If you're on a budget, look at the EXP Series.  If you want serious incline as well as decline training, and you're more of a serious runner/marathoner,  look at the Incline Trainers Series.

Everything You Need and Solid Warranties

What NordicTrack treadmills excel at is providing everything you need for a solid workout.  Even the base machines, although they are priced quite low, still give you solid motors, ample decks and plenty of built-in features.

So even if your budget is under $1500 you can still get a very good model that will have a lot more to offer than similarly priced ones from other brands on the market.

Another thing that consumers have been happy about is that NordicTrack recently upgraded its warranties.

They now offer better coverage on all models, which speaks to the company's commitment to quality.  

Even the least expensive treadmill, the EXP 7i and former C700, give you a ten year frame and motor warranty and 2 year on the parts.  That's quite good for a treadmill under $1500.

The overall mechanics have improved recently as well. In fact, a leading consumer magazine considered one of NordicTrack’s high end models excellent in two of four categories in their review.

If you are willing to pay for their higher end models, these treadmills are very good and you get a boatload of extra features and capabilities.

ICON seems to be improving the brand all the time, and has really taken NordicTrack treadmills up to the next level. Let’s hope they continue to do so for years to come!

Following are more in-depth reviews of all of the NordicTrack treadmills, so you can learn about all of the specs, latest info, expert analysis and more to help you make a more informed buying decision.
