Thanks! Pretty persuasive toward the NordicTrack and the current price difference would pay for several months of iFit. Do you know yet if there's any benefit to the new F89 over the F85 aside from screen size?
Thanks for watching! So far the biggest difference is the screen size, other than that, from we've been able to tell, it's pretty much the same treadmill as the TT8, just foldable and a larger screen. Let us know if you have any other questions there! We also wrote up our initial thoughts on the F89 if you want to check it out. www.treadmillreviewguru.com/sole-f89-treadmill-review/
The incline at 0% (according to the treadmill) for the F85 is really at 1-2%. I recently returned a Sole F85 because of this issue. The NordicTrack treadmills are flat when set to 0%. Do you ever measure or report this parameter for treadmills you review? That is, what is the actual incline when the treadmill says it is 0%?
No, the rear feet are fixed and not adjustable. I finally heard back from Sole and they said that their treadmills have a 1% incline when the machine says 0% to help the motor. I measured the one I had at 2% and it was noticeable when running.
NordicTrack is just not reliable, to many cheap parts, and warranty along with customer service is a nightmare. Better off donating your 3k than buying a NordicTrack.
Great review! One question, can i stream netflix or other apps without using ifit, or would i be locked in to ifit for life on the 1750?

Great job at your comparisons. The best ive seen. Nordic is my pick. Just wish they had 3rd party apps available.
Thanks! Yes, we wish that, too.
the cost of the 1750 is just the beginning due to ifit. Love the fact that I can stream etc... on the Sole.
I wish the Sole had better cushioning! That's the one I would like to purchase it is wasn't for that flaw.
I agree for me the cushioning is the number 1 factor. If only nordic allowed 3rd party apps it would be the absolute best

Curiosity, do you think it could have been the rear feet weren't put down far enough?
No, the rear feet are fixed and not adjustable. I finally heard back from Sole and they said that their treadmills have a 1% incline when the machine says 0% to help the motor. I measured the one I had at 2% and it was noticeable when running.
@@michaelstaudaher3308 Thanks, I was looking into them, but not sure I want to deal with that.

rather SOLE F85 because of the lifetime warranty on frame and motor.
That lifetime warranty is hard to beat!
