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 $1,599 for an entry level model to $3,299 for the top of the line X Series, the new name for the Incline Treadmills. 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 2026 lineup consists of the entry-level T Series, the popular Commercial Series & the X 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 (now called X Series).

Each series will typically have 2-3 treadmills to choose from, with more features as you move up in price.

Here are the current series and treadmills...

The T Series

This is the current entry level series, and as of our latest review there's two models to choose from, the new T Series 10 and T Series 16.They're an upgraded version of the previous EXP 7i & EXP 10i.

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 $1,699 to $2,499, and are built stronger and sturdier than the T Series models.  

These treadmills feature motors up to 4.25 CHP, up to 12% incline as well as 3% decline, larger 22" x 60" running decks and more advanced cushioning.

The X Series (Incline Treadmills)

NordicTrack is currently the only company offering true incline treadmills. The series includes the NordicTrack X16 and NordicTrack X24, which replaced the previous well as the X22i and X32i.

They range in price from $2,999 to $3,299 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 Ultra Series (High End)

The newest series in the NordicTrack treadmill lineup,  including the Ultra 1 and the Ultra 3, two commercial-grade machines with a hefty price tag to match. They feature premium design, 24" touch screens, speeds up to 15 mph, -3% decline and 15% incline capability.

These durable treadmills accommodate users up to 400 lbs, with advanced cushioning and special upgraded features not found on the rest of the lineup.

DISCONTINUED MODELS

Here are some of the recent series that have been discontinued. Just in case you see one of these treadmills for sale you'll have some helpful information about them to help inform your purchase.

The EXP Series (Discontinued)

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.

All of the treadmills, from the T 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.

NordicTrack Treadmills - Compare Models

Here is a breakdown of all of the current models, so you can get a quick visual overview of how they compare to each other. Note that the prices shown may change slightly if there are any sales going on.

As you can see from the chart above, you get more features and capabilities as you move up through the lineup.

Looking at the T10 vs T16, you get a stronger motor and a larger touch screen on the T16. Otherwise they are very similar.

Looking at the T16 vs Commercial 1250, you get a wider deck, decline capability (3 levels) and a stronger warranty on the 1250, but the touch screen size is the same as on the T10.

Looking at the Commercial 1250 vs 1750, you get a stronger motor and larger screen on the 1750, but otherwise they are essentially the same.

Looking at the Commercial 1750 vs 2450, you get the largest screen (24") in the lineup as well as the strongest motor (4.25 CHP) on the 2450, but otherwise they are the same.

The X16 shares the same 16" touch screen as the T16 and Commercial 1750, but offers a whopping 40 levels of incline and 6 levels of decline.

The X24 shares the same 24" touch screen as the Commercial 2450, with the same 40 levels of incline and 6 levels of decline as the X16.

Which NordicTrack Treadmill Should You Choose?

There are certainly a number 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 mid-range model in the series and at around $1,999 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, 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 T Series models.  

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

The T16 is the best choice here, but the T10 works as well...it just has a smaller touch screen, but is the lowest cost option in the lineup.

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 X Series 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 X Series Treadmill is the X24, but the X16 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 T Series.  If you want serious incline as well as decline training, and you're more of a serious runner/marathoner,  look at the X Series.

Reliability, Service & Best Place to Buy

Overall, NordicTrack treadmills are well-built, with solid frames and strong motors and definitely some of the best training capability via iFIT. As such, when maintained properly, these treadmills can hold up well for years of regular use.

The reality is that for better or worse, NordicTrack leans heavily into technology. Large touchscreens, powered incline/decline, and integrated iFIT software are a big part of the appeal—but they also mean there are more components involved than on a bare-bones treadmill.

When issues do happen, they’re most often things like:

• A touchscreen freezing or needing a reset
• Incline calibration acting up
• Normal wear parts needing replacement after a few years

That might sound concerning, but it’s pretty standard for tech-forward treadmills. Importantly, these issues are inconveniences, not signs that the treadmill itself is poorly made.

One thing that consumers have been happy about is that NordicTrack recently upgraded its warranties. As you can see above, the higher end models now have lifetime frame & motor warranties, which speaks to the company's commitment to quality. It would be nice to see more coverage on parts & electronics, but what they currently offer is pretty standard in the industry.

As far as customer service goes, experiences can vary. Some customers get quick resolutions; others run into delays, especially during busy times of the year. This isn’t unique to NordicTrack—it’s common with high-volume fitness brands—but it’s something you should be aware of ahead of time.

My personal experiences with NordicTrack customer service have been good. I have one of their treadmills as well as a rowing machine, and although I did have an issue with noise on my incline trainer, they were able to send a technician in a relatively short amount of time to address and fix the issue.

My advice: register your treadmill right away, keep your serial number handy, and don’t ignore small issues early. When handled promptly, most service situations are manageable.

As long as you go in with realistic expectations—and treat it like a piece of equipment, not a phone—you’ll likely find NordicTrack to be a dependable and enjoyable treadmill for years.

Where should you buy? Your best bet is through the company site online. That way you have access to the latest models with special promotional/holiday pricing throughout the year. You also get financing options and direct manufacturer warranties.

Another advantage to buying online is that they often have previous versions of certain models that they are phasing out, and you can get discounted pricing on those as they try to get rid of inventory. You can also find some other low cost models that they offer occasionally.

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.
