Peloton Tread primarily because of the size and the clean look. Nordic does seem to have more functionality, like the negative decline. But for home use, despite the fact that it can fold up, it seems a bit big for my home use. Nordic Treadmill does seem to have more features, but also fear for more things to break down - hydraulic system, the fan, etc. Despite the smaller power, Peloton meets my running needs - speed and incline. And the quality of the screen is really good. However, I wish Peloton allowed its tablet to stream other apps, like Netflix or RUclips or listen to our own music playlist off our music streaming app. Thank you for the great review of both treadmills.
I prefer peloton’s equipment, studio workouts for running cycling and strength and the community. I do wish they would offer more scenic runs like iFit though. I’m considering getting a tablet holder to hang over the screens for days I feel like using iFit.
Purchased the NT 2950 in august...... . From the day of delivery, I knew it was going to be a problem. Courier turned up in a big semi by himself, had to drop the crate kerbside which was about 100mtrs from my house. Had to actually unpack the unit on the pavement and carry it bit by bit to the house. Also had to get some neighbours to give me a hand carrying the running deck, not light at all...about 180kgs. When I finally got it all inside, took about 90mins to assemble. Not the best quality build either as some of the pre-drilled holes didn't line up. Anyway, once it was all assembled and ready to go, it lasted 6 weeks, touch screen started playing up within 2 weeks, had to push really hard for it to do any thing and on the 6th week, failed to turn on on a few occasions and then the motor just blew up...... Had the extended warranty etc... contacted Nordictrack, took 5 days for a response, was told an engineer wouldn't be able to service the unit for at least 6 - 8 weeks. Contacted the retailer and demanded a refund. Very long and drawn out process.....eventually received my refund. Thoughts on the Nordictrack, It has a lot of features (gimmicks), big running deck, Bluetooth, and a fan....but, build quality is very poor, screen doesn't tilt, quality of the videos isn't that great, a lot of buffering and resetting, on full decline you can't run at max speed. Also, if you sweat a lot, the metal uprights and metal grill covering the fan show signs of rust and staining even after wiping it down. Customer service from the manufacturer and retailer was also abysmal, slow to respond and had to be chased every step of the way. In a summary, for £2700, you'd expect a lot better quality..... in this instance, more money doesn't buy you better quality. Cheaper and less hassle to throw on a jacket and run on the road 👍🏻
I’m having issues waiting for months to have them deliver my machine. Customer service is horrible. And if you ask for refund, they keep $500 for “shipping fees”
Much appreciated. We’ve owned a Nordic track for about 10yrs. Multiple marathons trained on it with thousands of miles run. We’ve had lots of issues and we’re glad we got the extended warranty as everything but the frame has been replaced with only the motor most recently. We have an extra belt but this is still the original one. The idea of fans is huge and am surprised it was overlooked from Peleton. The decline training for me is also huge as it’s a massive part of your training, to know how to run both up and down in a race should not be neglected. The larger HP motor is another big one the last biggie for us is the belt width the extra inch on either side is welcoming. We didn’t realize it was a factor until running on another treadmill at a hotel and it felt so small. For us the choice is clear, it will be another NT in our home.
@@tyalderdice4980 Thank you for your answer. I normally run about 30 to 40 miles a week so I thought in 4 years it would add up to about 6,000 miles, this is where the numbers came from.
@@juan8218 no problem at all. In the warm months I run outdoors rain or shine and only run on my treadmill( just bought a Sole TT8 in January) in the winter. If I had to buy another treadmill I wouldn’t have gone with the Sole as recommended by friends. There is something about it I don’t like but can’t pin it down. I would go back with a Nordictrack to be honest.
My biggest problem with Nordic is their non-existent customer service. It was a nightmare for us to get anything fixed. Peloton customer service is awesome and that is very important to me.
Peloton customer services is great when they didn’t ship my package for a month with no updates I chatted they responded immediately and finally decided to tell me they weren’t in stock then the miraculously shipped them a day later
Your treadmill reviews are the best in RUclips. Seriously mind blogging why not more people have subscribed. I would second the suggestion to make a video on comparing customer service between these two companies. Treadmills are to be used for so many years, so customer service is really a big factor.
I second that! I've heard horrible stories about Nordictrack’s customer service. I am looking to buy a treadmill and that's what is holding me back from buying a Nordictrack.
The best reviewer of treadmills on the internet. Bar none. I went with NT after watching the review and considering all the pros and cons for my particular household. Other viewers comments also really helped too. Thanks and keep up the good work!
Had my Nordictrack since 2016. I loved it for a good 6 years. Had a few issues and called customer support. That run around should be an option on the workouts. Self fix. Ordered a new motor and installed myself.
I bought the peleton for its smaller more compact overall footprint and the fact that i didn’t have to build it on my own. I wanted the Nordic Track but they just dump it in crates on your driveway and you have to find a way to carry the damn thing into your home and build it. I appreciate your reviews!
That's a fair point, NordicTrack has brought back their delivery and assembly options, as of right now it's an additional $250 cost on top of the purchase of your machine. Unlike Peloton who has that price already built into your total cost. It is definitely nice to have your machine built for you. How are you liking the Peloton Tread so far?
@@TreadmillReviewGuru Overall I like it. A few things that have made me albeit slightly regret my decision though. 1. Wobble. The guys that came to install slapped the thing together in probably 30 minutes tops. They really made no effort to calibrate or level the machine. I had to do that on my own and figure it out by watching You Tube videos. While the overall makeup of the treadmill is very stable and solid the handlebars did wobble and I am not a heavy footed runner. 130lbs and 5’ tall. 2. You can’t watch or have access to Amazon Prime or Netflix The Nordic Track has a hack where you can watch a movie while jogging which is really my favorite thing to do. I’m not one for jogging classes. Honestly I find it stupid that considering what you pay you can’t watch what you want on these monitors. I use a tablet holder I found on Amazon and my Kindle Fire 10” to watch what I want. 3. Yearly maintenance. I just happened to randomly stumble upon a Peleton You Tube video with instructions on how to oil and maintain the belt. My kit did not come with treadmill oil and the steps to maintain it….well let’s put it this way they pretty much lost me 30 seconds in. Instructions were pretty lengthy and involved. While I overall do enjoy running on my treadmill I kind of wish I knew of those 3 things before I purchased it. It definitely is a smaller footprint and pretty solid. Considering the fact that I live in a 980 sq ft home I needed something compact. Overall I might have reconsidered the extra $250 assembly fee for Nordic Track to assemble it for me. You get way more bang for your buck with the Nordic Track but I have to agree with other reviewers as someone who has owned and retired a Nordic Track machine in the past they’re glitchy and customer service is horrible. Peleton would come and pick up my machine and take it back if I asked them to. Customer service is way better with Peleton and I guess overall nothing is ever perfect. It’s a nice solid machine overall.
I bought my Nordic track/Proform treadmill from Costco and they delivered it and assembled it for free and $200 off than what they have on their official website 😊
I went with the Nordictrack because of the features and reviews. Had a few bumps in the road, but I don't regret my purchase (3 years ago). The downhill feature is awesome and adds variety. It's very quiet and easy to assemble.
I have used both, iFit is clunky, the scenic content is great but the studio stuff is boring. Peloton, the scenic content is very poorly done, the studio content is by far superior, the training is focused and it is easier to find what you want with much better options. If you noticed her brief run test the NT takes too long to speed up on intervals the motor is 4.25 HP DC but not as good as the 3.0 HP AC. AC motors have better response time, they are not slow to build speed and deliver a better interval training experience. For a runner AC motor is superior in every way, for recreational walking, jogging the DC motor is probably sufficient, if you look at high quality treadmills in club environments the motor is usually AC not DC. Thank you for the review of these machines.
Thanks for watching our comparison! That is really interesting that you bring up the differences in motor type. On the original slat belt treadmill (Peloton Tread+) that Peloton released, they had an AC motor, but on this newer and small tread, it's actually a DC motor. I'm not disagreeing with what you said about the differences and pros and cons of DC vs AC but this particular Peloton Tread uses a DC motor, you can double check on their website.
LOVE my NordicTrack. It is amazing. The training content you get is unmatched. I have a S22i Bike, Rower and treamill and only pay $39 a month for all of them as far as a subscription. It's a no brainer to go with NordicTrack....
Just returned my Peloton for a nordictrack. The Peloton shakes a bit at lower speeds which makes it hard to view the screen. Also the nordictrack has some cushion for my knees.
I will return my Peloton for exactly the same reason. Have you got the NT yet and which model is that? Are you happy with it? Appreciate if I can get an insight to choose the right NT model. Thanks!
@@ersunuysal I got the 2450. Wish I waited because the new 2450 looks better. The treadmill is way better, and with auto speed and incline its great. My wife likes the classes as I prefer peloton. Ifit classes are mostly ouside
I ordered the NT 2950 due to the recall on the Peleton treds. I returned the NT after 2 weeks because it would stop midway through a workout. The screen would keep moving as if I was still working out, but the tread would stop and I had to stand on the rails. The tread would slowly come back up to speed, but sometimes when I tried to get back on it would stop again. Sometimes I had to quit the entire workout session. A Google search found the Internet full of reviews of this problem, so apparently it’s pretty common and it appears that Nordic track is pushing its quality control on to the consumers. The online reviews I read about this issue said that their fix was to send you a new motherboard and a video link to have you change it out yourself. I purchased the NT 2950 because Consumer Reports rated it well too. But it almost $3000, it doesn’t even work correctly out of the box. I’m very disappointed with NT and will not be purchasing this brand again.
Good thing you returned it. Mine did the same, then after 3 months it started to smell like a burning rubber every time I used it. A technician came told me the stopping of the belt burned a piece of rubber next to the motor. They changed it and changed the cover of the motor heading. The treadmill was still smelling after they “fixed” it. Another technician came and adjusted a piece under the belt. He said that seems to be the problem. Guess what? It still smells! It was way out of my budget but I got it cuz I thought I was investing in my health! I hate it and wish I never bought it!
Really a great comparison. I was looking at these two and decided to go with the Peloton tread after running on it. Found it much easier to navigate and love the speed and incline knob. Just the overall design and interface is so much better and intuitive on the Peloton. Don’t care much about the decline. My current treadmill has it and never used it once and I put thousands of miles on it. Haven’t received my Peloton yet but looking forward to getting it soon. Keep up the good content!
Good Lord you have to be kidding me. They couldn't support their way out of a wet paper bag. I have a real story to tell but it can't be told here in writing.
My peloton bike screen stopped working. After 5 minutes of working with customer service in the online chat to try to reboot the screen, they just said they would mail me a new $750 screen for free! I didn't even ask for it. It was the best customer service I've ever had in a product. Screen came just 4 days later with a video of how to install. Super easy.
We got our Soul F80 in 2010 which is so alike to the Nordic. Strong and get for heavier people. Great to move and clean under. Peleton is not able to lift the track or move it. Dust is sucked into it and then the tread will start making a noise. Soul/ Nordic are both so much safer in our situation and we can watch the TV with no issues and clean the dust sooo easily underneath it each month that has collected. Go for Nordic or Soul is my advice. They have been both around longer than Peleton. ;~)
This was a great video. I have been going back and forth about which of the two treads to purchase and this was very helpful in helping me make my decision. Thank you!
Size matters if you're a serious runner. At faster paces your stride length gets longer and that extra few inched of bed make a huge difference. Even the extra couple inches wider helps if your distracted watching a movie and you move over a bit. I have an older C1500 and the speed switch is the only thing that I had issues with and it was replaced after only 3 months of use. I think it's almost 9 years old now and the walking platform is getting worn. It has lots of miles on it. I just ordered a new walking platform for about $150 and not too bad to install. I love the instant speed selection and elevation button. I just assembled a C2950 for a friend and it is a machine! The Peloton treadmill looks more like something for a quick warm-up before weights.
Gotta give her props - she can run!!!! It's great to see the visuals this channel produces with its reviews. She sold me on the Lifespan 5000 DT7 (i think her review was on the 1200) and the ConceptTwo rower. No kidding. I have the receipts and made comments in those reviews.
we just got the 2950 based on your review, it is an excellent treadmill for sure! one niggle is a slightly unresponsive touchscreen, other than that its great.
Thanks for watching! We've had the Technogym MyRun on our radar for a few months now and have been hoping to get that in our studio but Technogym has been a challenging company to get ahold of so far. We will keep working on it!
How does the Matrix TF50 XUR compare to these in quality / reliability / longterm usability? Im 6´2" 220lbs. If the price is not the relevant factor, what tread would you go for?
Thanks for watching! The TF50 is a great treadmill and really durable. We have tested the TF30 and the T75 and both are great machines so we feel confident recommending the TF50. Especially with the XUR console, you can watch any sort of content you'd like and you're not stuck only using a subscription service.
NordicTrack 2950 for the WIN. You just have more options. They also provide a free iFit subscription for a year. Peleton does not. This is a no-brainer for me. Thanks for creating the video.
im ttrying to lift the head of the sunny health and fitness with cup holders foldup machine with the display on it and it seems there is some sort of bracket on it preventing me from lifting it all the way up in place
Hello. Thank you for the video and information. I had a bad experience buying the MYRUN treadmill from Technogym and I am looking at buying a stronger treadmill. My question is, how long can I expect these treadmills to last (in terms of kilometers maybe)? It is not that I don’t care about pricing but I would rather spend more on a better machine than having a problem two or three years after using it and having to buy another one or having to spend money in repairs (plus the loss of having the machine while it goes for repair and all the headaches that come from that). I live in France in a rural property so doing any returns or repairs is a bit of a headache. Thank you.
Great question, and we're sorry you've had a hard time with the TechnoGym MyRun. In terms of treadmills that we haven't had troubles with long term, NordicTrack, Sole, and Horizon are all very very good. What brands are available to you in France? That might help us to answer your question a little bit better.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru Thanks for answering my question Kristen. How about the NordicTrack X32i, any upgrade for 2023 like fixing the screen wobble? Thanks again. I'm vetting treadmills for my first buy.
Hi Tony, thanks for watching our video! Great question, it sounds like your incline might need to be calibrated. Something similar happened to us when we got the latest 2950. When the treadmill wasn't in use the deck would default to -3 decline instead of at a flat road. Once we calibrated the incline the problem was solved. Try that out and let us know how it works, you can find it in the settings.
Also a great question, it depends on what you are going to be using it for and what kind of space you have in your home. The NordicTrack 2950 is great and has great cushioning, the 22 inch screen is plenty big, in my opinion, you don't need much beyond 22 inches there. The X32i is a good machine and has amazing incline training benefits and the cushioning is unmatched. The only real downsides to the X32i is that it takes up quite a bit of space because it doesn't fold, and the screen is a little too big for our liking. But the quality and training capabilities on the X32i are amazing. Please let me know what other questions you have.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru Thank you for your answers. Nordic Track is available in France (Peloton is not, yet). We are planning to move in October so I will wait for us to see what type of space we have in the new home before doing the purchase. BTW, great work your are doing in RUclips. I am an entrepreneur and know how hard this is, but just as with an ultramarathon (which is very much alike, hahaha), the trick is the same, just don’t stop.
I love NT and their IFit program. Their interface is buggy and looks outdated and their screen hardware can barely pull 1080p full HD like they claim. Peloton seems to have won in that perspective but their cost for membership on top of the high cost of their equipment is a huge deterrent. I got the NT equipment when they were offering a year of IFit with purchase. They stopped doing that and only offer a month now, probably due to losing money on essentially a $400 yearly membership.
The Sole F85 doesn't require a subscription. It has a 10" touchscreen and comes preloaded with 7 apps you can watch, including NetFlix, RUclips, and several news stations. You have to have your own subscription to those services, but it doesn't require a subscription to Sole. You can watch our video review here: ruclips.net/video/-RFhnrDYWME/видео.html
@@kimdennison8270 Yes! Sole treadmills are solid and powerful and do not require a subscription. The Sole F80 or F85 are comparable to the NT 2950 and Peloton Tread.
Great review - I've read about iFit's ability to adjust settings of the treadmill to follow along (changing speed and incline to match an outdoor class, for example). Does Peloton offer this feature too?
No, the Peloton Tread does not have auto-follow or automated speed and incline. (The new Bike+ does - but no the Tread). All speed adjustments must be made manually.
If you position your foot strike to land in the mid-deck area and not right under the console, there is ample room for a full stride on both treadmills.
No doubt the Nordic is the superior treadmill in all but one aspect. It's as ugly as sin, the Peloton just like the bike is a beautiful device which you'll happily leave on display on your house whilst the Nordic needs to be in a garage or shed. This is important for those of us with limited room. So yes, not as good for serious runners, but much more realistic for many people to incorporate into their homes.
No mention of creature comforts. I once was a new car sales person at BMW and many people would ALWAYS comment on "Cup Holders" it was so important to clients. The reason why I am mentioning this is I had a treadmill a long time ago and it was important for me to have nice sized cup or I should say water bottle holders as I drink more water than fish do, Bad joke. But I also would have liked to know about how people put their phones on the unit. The Peloton does not look like it has holders for say a book holder or a place to put your phone, iPad etc. Can you tell me what you think about what you saw when you compared the 2.....I am liking the NordicTrack by what I am seeing so far but the camera never came in for a close shot for these things. Also if you do not care about joining the subscription for either treadmill, can you just watch regular TV and is it good quality like can you watch things in High Definition?? How do the screens compare when it comes to watching TV and walking. I walk min. 5 miles per day and if I had a treadmill it would be great because where I live it gets too hot in the summer and it never rains but a few times in California and it get's too cold in the winter, so that is why I want to get a treadmill with a nice warranty on it. I am sure I will have to buy an extended warranty since the things that matter will usually break down on it and I do not want to spend an arm and a leg to get it fixed. Anyway, thank you for your time and I hope to get a response from the content maker or anyone else who feels like responding. Thank you and Merry Christmas to all.
Great questions. You can't watch regular TV or access the internet on either of these treadmills. The screens are designed to just display the manufacturer's app. You are correct that the Peloton has limited space for a phone, book, or tablet. The Nordictrack 2950 offers a ledge for either a book or tablet and your phone will fit on the ledge or in a cup holder. There are two cupholders on both treadmills, but the 2950 cup holders are much larger and more secure.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru Thank you for your great feedback and your videos by the way are exactly what people/consumers need to see to make a more informed decision. I bought the NordicTrack S22i stationary bike 🚴 for now and from Amazon, it will be here tomorrow around noon. NordicTrack was closed over the weekend so I decided to look at Amazon and their return policies are bad none. I called and spoke to a representative from the United States thank God and he said if you don’t like we will come to your door and pick it up FREE of charge. Maybe this is why I spend over $10,000 a year using Amazon. Anyway, I am also looking for a treadmill as I live not too far from Palm Springs, CA and it got so hot for so long last year that I can’t walk and breathe when it’s 88° to 115°. I walk 5 to 8 miles per day and if I didn’t see your video I’m not sure which product I would have chosen so again I wanted to personally say thank you and keep up these great videos and content. Have a great 2022!!
I was initially thrilled to get my Peloton Tread, expecting a quality treadmill at this price. Sadly, the reality was a letdown. Just a few months after the first year warranty expired, the base malfunctioned. Attempts to fix it were futile, leading to the frustrating conclusion that it needed a complete replacement. Certainly not going to throw in good money after bad and spend another $1300 for a new base. Trash.
Both great treadmills, the Horizon 7.8 is nice because you're not locked into a subscription and can use any training content you'd like on a personal phone or tablet. The Peloton does look better from an aesthetic standpoint though. Both solid machines that will get the job done.
Es mejor la Norditrack por ser area commercial tiene mejores especificaciones apostaria que en la caminadora peloton mucha gente se caeriapor los sensores tan modernos de incremento y decremento de velocidad pero me gustaria probarla . pero a mi punto de vista es mejor NORDITRACK
Gracias por tu comentario. Ambas son excelentes máquinas. Paga más por la marca Peloton y no es necesariamente mejor que otras cintas de correr. También preferimos Nordictrack para la mayoría de usos.
Estoy en Eso de que no se Cual Comprar. No quiero gastar $3,000 en una maquina que se me Puede arruinar en menos de un año. He leido muy malas criticas acerca de Norditrack. Ayuda please
@@TreadmillReviewGuru Thanks for the info, I use the NPE RUNN and the Zwift Footpod for my existing treadmill, but at 20 years it’s starting to show its age, starting to look around for something new
I have never used a Peloton, but I am definitely *not* a NordicTrack/iFit after purchasing a 2950. iFit is a buggy, low-featured piece of trash. And the unit ships with a huge screen but does not allow bluetooth streaming of music (outside of iFit vids), and no way to watch non-iFit videos or use the screen for anything else without a "hack". Failed.
Don’t buy new peloton tread I had 4 equipment failures in 2 months and the current wait for my current failure to get fixed is 7 weeks. If you want to be treated like second class citizen as customer because they prioritizing holiday sales then buy one. My first equipment failure happened within a week of owning it
I just bought a Peloton Tread for my daughter for Christmas. After 1 hour of use it went completely dead. No possibility of self-help that I can see - it’s completely dead and neither they nor their bare bones user manual offer any suggestions as to what the problem might be..They won’t send anyone out until Feb 2, and they will not move that date up. I am not happy with the product or the service.
@@petergenz5474 I just bought a Sole TT8. It’s not pretty like all these other treadmills in terms of the screen size and destination runs etc. But it seems to be a runner’s treadmill. It focuses on the run and the cushioning of the strife. With a decline of -6 and max of 15 I’m digging it. Strong parts inside and great warranty. It’s a high end treadmill with. Larger price tag than the peloton but I think I will get my worth out of this one.
Is this the same peloton model that was so poorly engineered, it killed a child? I won’t buy peloton for that reason but I am seriously considering buying a norditrack
This is the worst Threadmill I’ve seen in my life. In 2 months I replaced the motor, the motor controller twice, roller front and back twice and now I have problem with the console. I’m junking this one. Let me tell you before I junked a X22i Nordictrack is a bad company with a bad costumer services, they also ship bad replacement parts. I don’t want another Nordictrack Threadmill not even for free!!!!
Very frustrating..... You don't do this purily to give us all feedback on these products which is your reason why we should like and subscribe.... you do it for the money you get from subscribers and advertisers.... like all the others do. Just be honest and transparent. Peloton is a rip off. I fix treadmills for a living and the NordicTrack is the better treadmill. All I say is make sure everybody registers them from new to take advantage of the 2 year warranty, 10 year motor warranty and lifetime warranty on the frame. Parts are readily available for the NordicTracks and easier to self repair.
Just so you are aware, Peloton refuses to support any paid reviews of their products. We purchased both these treadmills and tested them as any consumer would. Our goal is to provide honest feedback that is helpful to those looking to make a purchase. Advertising allows us to produce content, but the manufacturers do not pay for our reviews.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru that is amazing. I had no idea that you buy all these treadmills! What do you do with them when you finish your reviews, sell them? Thanks for all the great work and product you put out here, I truly enjoy it!
@@rgh622 Thanks! Yes, when a new model comes out, we will sell the used treadmills. But we will often keep them for at least a year or two for testing longevity and durability. Some of the most reviewed treadmills we've had for several years continue to perform well. Others we can tell right from the start they are going to have issues.
NOTE: This product works exactly as described. ruclips.net/user/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!!
Question of the day: are you team Peloton or team NordicTrack/iFit?
Peloton Tread primarily because of the size and the clean look. Nordic does seem to have more functionality, like the negative decline. But for home use, despite the fact that it can fold up, it seems a bit big for my home use. Nordic Treadmill does seem to have more features, but also fear for more things to break down - hydraulic system, the fan, etc. Despite the smaller power, Peloton meets my running needs - speed and incline. And the quality of the screen is really good. However, I wish Peloton allowed its tablet to stream other apps, like Netflix or RUclips or listen to our own music playlist off our music streaming app. Thank you for the great review of both treadmills.
Both. Peloton bike, just returned my Peloton tread for the nordictrack 2450
I prefer peloton’s equipment, studio workouts for running cycling and strength and the community. I do wish they would offer more scenic runs like iFit though. I’m considering getting a tablet holder to hang over the screens for days I feel like using iFit.
Is 1 year free iFit subscription still available on Nordic Track 2950?
@@sdsthebest No, Nordictrack recently reduced the free trial from a year to a month.
Purchased the NT 2950 in august...... . From the day of delivery, I knew it was going to be a problem. Courier turned up in a big semi by himself, had to drop the crate kerbside which was about 100mtrs from my house. Had to actually unpack the unit on the pavement and carry it bit by bit to the house. Also had to get some neighbours to give me a hand carrying the running deck, not light at all...about 180kgs. When I finally got it all inside, took about 90mins to assemble. Not the best quality build either as some of the pre-drilled holes didn't line up.
Anyway, once it was all assembled and ready to go, it lasted 6 weeks, touch screen started playing up within 2 weeks, had to push really hard for it to do any thing and on the 6th week, failed to turn on on a few occasions and then the motor just blew up...... Had the extended warranty etc... contacted Nordictrack, took 5 days for a response, was told an engineer wouldn't be able to service the unit for at least 6 - 8 weeks. Contacted the retailer and demanded a refund. Very long and drawn out process.....eventually received my refund.
Thoughts on the Nordictrack, It has a lot of features (gimmicks), big running deck, Bluetooth, and a fan....but, build quality is very poor, screen doesn't tilt, quality of the videos isn't that great, a lot of buffering and resetting, on full decline you can't run at max speed. Also, if you sweat a lot, the metal uprights and metal grill covering the fan show signs of rust and staining even after wiping it down. Customer service from the manufacturer and retailer was also abysmal, slow to respond and had to be chased every step of the way.
In a summary, for £2700, you'd expect a lot better quality..... in this instance, more money doesn't buy you better quality. Cheaper and less hassle to throw on a jacket and run on the road 👍🏻
No idea, but they did.....even though I wiped them down after every use
I’m having issues waiting for months to have them deliver my machine.
Customer service is horrible. And if you ask for refund, they keep $500 for “shipping fees”
i think after seeing so many of these posts. i'm gonna stick to strapping on the shoes and walking outside.
Much appreciated. We’ve owned a Nordic track for about 10yrs. Multiple marathons trained on it with thousands of miles run. We’ve had lots of issues and we’re glad we got the extended warranty as everything but the frame has been replaced with only the motor most recently. We have an extra belt but this is still the original one. The idea of fans is huge and am surprised it was overlooked from Peleton. The decline training for me is also huge as it’s a massive part of your training, to know how to run both up and down in a race should not be neglected. The larger HP motor is another big one the last biggie for us is the belt width the extra inch on either side is welcoming. We didn’t realize it was a factor until running on another treadmill at a hotel and it felt so small. For us the choice is clear, it will be another NT in our home.
Hello. How long did your treadmill last until the first repair? Is it fair to say it will at least do the first 6,000 miles without a problem?
@@juan8218 6000 miles is asking a lot I feel. I can’t recall when we had our first issue but it seemed like a long time.
@@tyalderdice4980 Thank you for your answer. I normally run about 30 to 40 miles a week so I thought in 4 years it would add up to about 6,000 miles, this is where the numbers came from.
@@juan8218 no problem at all. In the warm months I run outdoors rain or shine and only run on my treadmill( just bought a Sole TT8 in January) in the winter. If I had to buy another treadmill I wouldn’t have gone with the Sole as recommended by friends. There is something about it I don’t like but can’t pin it down. I would go back with a Nordictrack to be honest.

My biggest problem with Nordic is their non-existent customer service. It was a nightmare for us to get anything fixed. Peloton customer service is awesome and that is very important to me.
Peloton customer services is great when they didn’t ship my package for a month with no updates I chatted they responded immediately and finally decided to tell me they weren’t in stock then the miraculously shipped them a day later
Your treadmill reviews are the best in RUclips. Seriously mind blogging why not more people have subscribed. I would second the suggestion to make a video on comparing customer service between these two companies. Treadmills are to be used for so many years, so customer service is really a big factor.
I second that! I've heard horrible stories about Nordictrack’s customer service. I am looking to buy a treadmill and that's what is holding me back from buying a Nordictrack.
The best reviewer of treadmills on the internet. Bar none. I went with NT after watching the review and considering all the pros and cons for my particular household. Other viewers comments also really helped too. Thanks and keep up the good work!
I found this video provided the clearest comparison between these two pieces of exercise equipment, and the benefits of each. Thanks!
Had my Nordictrack since 2016. I loved it for a good 6 years.
Had a few issues and called customer support. That run around should be an option on the workouts.
Self fix. Ordered a new motor and installed myself.
You should be paid an advertising fee from both Nordic track and Peleton! Thanks for the review. Extremely appreciated. Treadmill purchased
The recalled Peloton Treadmill is amazing. I love it.
I bought the peleton for its smaller more compact overall footprint and the fact that i didn’t have to build it on my own. I wanted the Nordic Track but they just dump it in crates on your driveway and you have to find a way to carry the damn thing into your home and build it. I appreciate your reviews!
That's a fair point, NordicTrack has brought back their delivery and assembly options, as of right now it's an additional $250 cost on top of the purchase of your machine. Unlike Peloton who has that price already built into your total cost. It is definitely nice to have your machine built for you. How are you liking the Peloton Tread so far?
@@TreadmillReviewGuru Overall I like it. A few things that have made me albeit slightly regret my decision though.
1. Wobble. The guys that came to install slapped the thing together in probably 30 minutes tops. They really made no effort to calibrate or level the machine. I had to do that on my own and figure it out by watching You Tube videos. While the overall makeup of the treadmill is very stable and solid the handlebars did wobble and I am not a heavy footed runner. 130lbs and 5’ tall.
2. You can’t watch or have access to Amazon Prime or Netflix The Nordic Track has a hack where you can watch a movie while jogging which is really my favorite thing to do. I’m not one for jogging classes. Honestly I find it stupid that considering what you pay you can’t watch what you want on these monitors. I use a tablet holder I found on Amazon and my Kindle Fire 10” to watch what I want.
3. Yearly maintenance. I just happened to randomly stumble upon a Peleton You Tube video with instructions on how to oil and maintain the belt. My kit did not come with treadmill oil and the steps to maintain it….well let’s put it this way they pretty much lost me 30 seconds in. Instructions were pretty lengthy and involved.
While I overall do enjoy running on my treadmill I kind of wish I knew of those 3 things before I purchased it. It definitely is a smaller footprint and pretty solid. Considering the fact that I live in a 980 sq ft home I needed something compact.
Overall I might have reconsidered the extra $250 assembly fee for Nordic Track to assemble it for me. You get way more bang for your buck with the Nordic Track but I have to agree with other reviewers as someone who has owned and retired a Nordic Track machine in the past they’re glitchy and customer service is horrible. Peleton would come and pick up my machine and take it back if I asked them to. Customer service is way better with Peleton and I guess overall nothing is ever perfect. It’s a nice solid machine overall.
I bought my Nordic track/Proform treadmill from Costco and they delivered it and assembled it for free and $200 off than what they have on their official website 😊
@@TofooNoodle did you purchase the S45i or a different model?
Hope this interaction is as helpful as this video was for me! Thank you!
I went with the Nordictrack because of the features and reviews. Had a few bumps in the road, but I don't regret my purchase (3 years ago). The downhill feature is awesome and adds variety. It's very quiet and easy to assemble.
I have used both, iFit is clunky, the scenic content is great but the studio stuff is boring. Peloton, the scenic content is very poorly done, the studio content is by far superior, the training is focused and it is easier to find what you want with much better options. If you noticed her brief run test the NT takes too long to speed up on intervals the motor is 4.25 HP DC but not as good as the 3.0 HP AC. AC motors have better response time, they are not slow to build speed and deliver a better interval training experience. For a runner AC motor is superior in every way, for recreational walking, jogging the DC motor is probably sufficient, if you look at high quality treadmills in club environments the motor is usually AC not DC. Thank you for the review of these machines.
Thanks for watching our comparison! That is really interesting that you bring up the differences in motor type. On the original slat belt treadmill (Peloton Tread+) that Peloton released, they had an AC motor, but on this newer and small tread, it's actually a DC motor.
I'm not disagreeing with what you said about the differences and pros and cons of DC vs AC but this particular Peloton Tread uses a DC motor, you can double check on their website.
LOVE my NordicTrack. It is amazing. The training content you get is unmatched. I have a S22i Bike, Rower and treamill and only pay $39 a month for all of them as far as a subscription. It's a no brainer to go with NordicTrack....
Just returned my Peloton for a nordictrack. The Peloton shakes a bit at lower speeds which makes it hard to view the screen. Also the nordictrack has some cushion for my knees.
Thanks for sharing your insight and watching our video!
I will return my Peloton for exactly the same reason. Have you got the NT yet and which model is that? Are you happy with it? Appreciate if I can get an insight to choose the right NT model. Thanks!
@@ersunuysal I got the 2450. Wish I waited because the new 2450 looks better. The treadmill is way better, and with auto speed and incline its great. My wife likes the classes as I prefer peloton. Ifit classes are mostly ouside
I ordered the NT 2950 due to the recall on the Peleton treds. I returned the NT after 2 weeks because it would stop midway through a workout. The screen would keep moving as if I was still working out, but the tread would stop and I had to stand on the rails. The tread would slowly come back up to speed, but sometimes when I tried to get back on it would stop again. Sometimes I had to quit the entire workout session. A Google search found the Internet full of reviews of this problem, so apparently it’s pretty common and it appears that Nordic track is pushing its quality control on to the consumers. The online reviews I read about this issue said that their fix was to send you a new motherboard and a video link to have you change it out yourself. I purchased the NT 2950 because Consumer Reports rated it well too. But it almost $3000, it doesn’t even work correctly out of the box. I’m very disappointed with NT and will not be purchasing this brand again.
I am going through the same. Wish never bought Nordictrack
Good thing you returned it. Mine did the same, then after 3 months it started to smell like a burning rubber every time I used it. A technician came told me the stopping of the belt burned a piece of rubber next to the motor. They changed it and changed the cover of the motor heading. The treadmill was still smelling after they “fixed” it. Another technician came and adjusted a piece under the belt. He said that seems to be the problem. Guess what? It still smells! It was way out of my budget but I got it cuz I thought I was investing in my health! I hate it and wish I never bought it!
Really a great comparison. I was looking at these two and decided to go with the Peloton tread after running on it. Found it much easier to navigate and love the speed and incline knob. Just the overall design and interface is so much better and intuitive on the Peloton. Don’t care much about the decline. My current treadmill has it and never used it once and I put thousands of miles on it. Haven’t received my Peloton yet but looking forward to getting it soon. Keep up the good content!
Glad I could help!
great review, only thing missing is customer service, I think Peloton will win out on that one.
agreed!
Good Lord you have to be kidding me. They couldn't support their way out of a wet paper bag. I have a real story to tell but it can't be told here in writing.
My peloton bike screen stopped working. After 5 minutes of working with customer service in the online chat to try to reboot the screen, they just said they would mail me a new $750 screen for free! I didn't even ask for it. It was the best customer service I've ever had in a product. Screen came just 4 days later with a video of how to install. Super easy.
Customer service is a factor but like most people they don’t think of it as they hope to never use it. We’ve had great luck with NT
Awsome review, you are so thorough, thank you, Kristen! Nordic 2950 won me for the extra width and bigger motor.
We got our Soul F80 in 2010 which is so alike to the Nordic. Strong and get for heavier people. Great to move and clean under. Peleton is not able to lift the track or move it. Dust is sucked into it and then the tread will start making a noise. Soul/ Nordic are both so much safer in our situation and we can watch the TV with no issues and clean the dust sooo easily underneath it each month that has collected. Go for Nordic or Soul is my advice. They have been both around longer than Peleton. ;~)
Never thought about the motor. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
This was a great video. I have been going back and forth about which of the two treads to purchase and this was very helpful in helping me make my decision. Thank you!
Which did you decide?
It would be so helpful to know which you bought and if you like it.
Really great content. Puts all other treadmill reviews to shame! Eagerly awaiting your review of Sole ST90 slat belt treadmill 🙏
Thanks for watching!
We'll be getting the Sole ST90 in our studio for testing soon!
@@TreadmillReviewGuru hooray!!!!!!
Hey!
Thx for this very nice review them both 😍 i know i will defenetly choose the Peloton 💯
Size matters if you're a serious runner. At faster paces your stride length gets longer and that extra few inched of bed make a huge difference. Even the extra couple inches wider helps if your distracted watching a movie and you move over a bit. I have an older C1500 and the speed switch is the only thing that I had issues with and it was replaced after only 3 months of use. I think it's almost 9 years old now and the walking platform is getting worn. It has lots of miles on it. I just ordered a new walking platform for about $150 and not too bad to install. I love the instant speed selection and elevation button. I just assembled a C2950 for a friend and it is a machine! The Peloton treadmill looks more like something for a quick warm-up before weights.
Awesome review. Always quality content. Thanks Kristen!
Thanks for watching!
Great job on the review Kristen 👏🏼👏🏼. Definitely makes my buying decisions easier!
Gotta give her props - she can run!!!! It's great to see the visuals this channel produces with its reviews. She sold me on the Lifespan 5000 DT7 (i think her review was on the 1200) and the ConceptTwo rower. No kidding. I have the receipts and made comments in those reviews.
Thanks!
Great video, very informative!
Thanks for watching!
Love your reviews
Thank you!
we just got the 2950 based on your review, it is an excellent treadmill for sure! one niggle is a slightly unresponsive touchscreen, other than that its great.
Hope you registered your unit, that's how mine started, failed to tune in after a few weeks, then the motor just blew up
Another awesome video - thanks! . Maybe you can also look at the Technogym MyRun in the future.
Thanks for watching! We've had the Technogym MyRun on our radar for a few months now and have been hoping to get that in our studio but Technogym has been a challenging company to get ahold of so far. We will keep working on it!
How does the Matrix TF50 XUR compare to these in quality / reliability / longterm usability? Im 6´2" 220lbs. If the price is not the relevant factor, what tread would you go for?
Thanks for watching! The TF50 is a great treadmill and really durable. We have tested the TF30 and the T75 and both are great machines so we feel confident recommending the TF50. Especially with the XUR console, you can watch any sort of content you'd like and you're not stuck only using a subscription service.
NordicTrack 2950 for the WIN. You just have more options. They also provide a free iFit subscription for a year. Peleton does not. This is a no-brainer for me. Thanks for creating the video.
I don't see a 1 year free iFit subscription for a year. Where do you see it?
@@sdsthebest they don’t offer a year anymore. Only a month.
im ttrying to lift the head of the sunny health and fitness with cup holders foldup machine with the display on it and it seems there is some sort of bracket on it preventing me from lifting it all the way up in place
Glad I found you. Your reviews are great. Do you ever compare slatted treadmills like the True Stryker? Trying to compare to Peloton Tread Plus
Yes, we have on one the Assault Runner Elite here:

Hello. Thank you for the video and information. I had a bad experience buying the MYRUN treadmill from Technogym and I am looking at buying a stronger treadmill. My question is, how long can I expect these treadmills to last (in terms of kilometers maybe)? It is not that I don’t care about pricing but I would rather spend more on a better machine than having a problem two or three years after using it and having to buy another one or having to spend money in repairs (plus the loss of having the machine while it goes for repair and all the headaches that come from that). I live in France in a rural property so doing any returns or repairs is a bit of a headache. Thank you.
Great question, and we're sorry you've had a hard time with the TechnoGym MyRun. In terms of treadmills that we haven't had troubles with long term, NordicTrack, Sole, and Horizon are all very very good. What brands are available to you in France? That might help us to answer your question a little bit better.
Can you use you apple watch on the Peloton and Nordic Track? I live in an apartment is the treadmills loud?
Excellent video
What about the Cushing for the Peloton? Is there any?
There is slight cushioning. It's not as cushioned as the NordicTrack but the Peloton provides more cushioning than running on the road.
I love that I can change to a road surface on my NT
It is in the tread+ which they aren't selling right now.
The 2950 has 2 extra inches which doesn't seem like alot until your run on both of them.
Yep, anyone over 6' should use a 60+ inch belt, which makes no sense why Pel decided to make theirs 59".
Great treamills! NordicTrack seems more stable though. Are these similar spec treadmills? Because NordicTrack looks like it's one with a better spec.
Is there going to be a new NordicTrack Commercial 2950 in 2023? Thanks.
There won't be a new 2950 unfortunately
@@TreadmillReviewGuru Thanks for answering my question Kristen. How about the NordicTrack X32i, any upgrade for 2023 like fixing the screen wobble? Thanks again. I'm vetting treadmills for my first buy.
I have the latest 2950. I can’t fold with the mains cable connected - do you know if this is normal?
Hi Tony, thanks for watching our video! Great question, it sounds like your incline might need to be calibrated. Something similar happened to us when we got the latest 2950. When the treadmill wasn't in use the deck would default to -3 decline instead of at a flat road. Once we calibrated the incline the problem was solved. Try that out and let us know how it works, you can find it in the settings.
Another question. Is the X32i a better option than the 2950?
Also a great question, it depends on what you are going to be using it for and what kind of space you have in your home. The NordicTrack 2950 is great and has great cushioning, the 22 inch screen is plenty big, in my opinion, you don't need much beyond 22 inches there. The X32i is a good machine and has amazing incline training benefits and the cushioning is unmatched. The only real downsides to the X32i is that it takes up quite a bit of space because it doesn't fold, and the screen is a little too big for our liking. But the quality and training capabilities on the X32i are amazing. Please let me know what other questions you have.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru Thank you for your answers. Nordic Track is available in France (Peloton is not, yet). We are planning to move in October so I will wait for us to see what type of space we have in the new home before doing the purchase. BTW, great work your are doing in RUclips. I am an entrepreneur and know how hard this is, but just as with an ultramarathon (which is very much alike, hahaha), the trick is the same, just don’t stop.
I like my Peloton, but I have the tread+
Thank you to Italy
I love NT and their IFit program. Their interface is buggy and looks outdated and their screen hardware can barely pull 1080p full HD like they claim. Peloton seems to have won in that perspective but their cost for membership on top of the high cost of their equipment is a huge deterrent. I got the NT equipment when they were offering a year of IFit with purchase. They stopped doing that and only offer a month now, probably due to losing money on essentially a $400 yearly membership.
Will you review technogym myrun? I haven't found much info on it but it's such a nice size.
We're working on getting that treadmill, hoping to review it very soon!

Is there a non subscription treadmill that you would recommend to look at?
The Sole F85 doesn't require a subscription. It has a 10" touchscreen and comes preloaded with 7 apps you can watch, including NetFlix, RUclips, and several news stations. You have to have your own subscription to those services, but it doesn't require a subscription to Sole.

Is there a treadmill that's just as strong and durable WITHOUT all the TV screens and high end gadgets?
@@kimdennison8270 Yes! Sole treadmills are solid and powerful and do not require a subscription. The Sole F80 or F85 are comparable to the NT 2950 and Peloton Tread.
Great review - I've read about iFit's ability to adjust settings of the treadmill to follow along (changing speed and incline to match an outdoor class, for example). Does Peloton offer this feature too?
No, the Peloton Tread does not have auto-follow or automated speed and incline. (The new Bike+ does - but no the Tread). All speed adjustments must be made manually.
Peloton for the win all day every day!
@@Hugh-x1c I don’t get any shake out of it
i find it hard to justify any treadmill with a front mount motor for any serious runner especially someone with a longer stride length
If you position your foot strike to land in the mid-deck area and not right under the console, there is ample room for a full stride on both treadmills.
No doubt the Nordic is the superior treadmill in all but one aspect. It's as ugly as sin, the Peloton just like the bike is a beautiful device which you'll happily leave on display on your house whilst the Nordic needs to be in a garage or shed. This is important for those of us with limited room. So yes, not as good for serious runners, but much more realistic for many people to incorporate into their homes.
What about Technogym myrun ?
We hope to get a Technogym treadmill in the next few weeks. We are anxious to review that one.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru why anxious
@@AlexandreLacharme we are excited, looking forward to it... etc.
From 14 minutes, thank you .. nordic it is
No mention of creature comforts. I once was a new car sales person at BMW and many people would ALWAYS comment on "Cup Holders" it was so important to clients. The reason why I am mentioning this is I had a treadmill a long time ago and it was important for me to have nice sized cup or I should say water bottle holders as I drink more water than fish do, Bad joke. But I also would have liked to know about how people put their phones on the unit. The Peloton does not look like it has holders for say a book holder or a place to put your phone, iPad etc. Can you tell me what you think about what you saw when you compared the 2.....I am liking the NordicTrack by what I am seeing so far but the camera never came in for a close shot for these things. Also if you do not care about joining the subscription for either treadmill, can you just watch regular TV and is it good quality like can you watch things in High Definition?? How do the screens compare when it comes to watching TV and walking. I walk min. 5 miles per day and if I had a treadmill it would be great because where I live it gets too hot in the summer and it never rains but a few times in California and it get's too cold in the winter, so that is why I want to get a treadmill with a nice warranty on it. I am sure I will have to buy an extended warranty since the things that matter will usually break down on it and I do not want to spend an arm and a leg to get it fixed. Anyway, thank you for your time and I hope to get a response from the content maker or anyone else who feels like responding. Thank you and Merry Christmas to all.
Great questions. You can't watch regular TV or access the internet on either of these treadmills. The screens are designed to just display the manufacturer's app. You are correct that the Peloton has limited space for a phone, book, or tablet. The Nordictrack 2950 offers a ledge for either a book or tablet and your phone will fit on the ledge or in a cup holder. There are two cupholders on both treadmills, but the 2950 cup holders are much larger and more secure.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru Thank you for your great feedback and your videos by the way are exactly what people/consumers need to see to make a more informed decision. I bought the NordicTrack S22i stationary bike 🚴 for now and from Amazon, it will be here tomorrow around noon. NordicTrack was closed over the weekend so I decided to look at Amazon and their return policies are bad none. I called and spoke to a representative from the United States thank God and he said if you don’t like we will come to your door and pick it up FREE of charge. Maybe this is why I spend over $10,000 a year using Amazon. Anyway, I am also looking for a treadmill as I live not too far from Palm Springs, CA and it got so hot for so long last year that I can’t walk and breathe when it’s 88° to 115°. I walk 5 to 8 miles per day and if I didn’t see your video I’m not sure which product I would have chosen so again I wanted to personally say thank you and keep up these great videos and content. Have a great 2022!!
That Peleton was shaking at 6 MPH and above.
I wish they left some space for placing a tablet to watching alternative content.
The way you spoke make it sound like you are team Nordic.
I have a life fitness that puts all of these to shame.
isn't the newest the Tread+?
No, the Tread+ was the slat belt treadmill that was recently recalled. This is the new Tread, but it is a standard belt treadmill without the slats.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru got it thanks
I was initially thrilled to get my Peloton Tread, expecting a quality treadmill at this price. Sadly, the reality was a letdown. Just a few months after the first year warranty expired, the base malfunctioned. Attempts to fix it were futile, leading to the frustrating conclusion that it needed a complete replacement. Certainly not going to throw in good money after bad and spend another $1300 for a new base. Trash.
I’m torn between peloton and horizon 7.8
Both great treadmills, the Horizon 7.8 is nice because you're not locked into a subscription and can use any training content you'd like on a personal phone or tablet. The Peloton does look better from an aesthetic standpoint though. Both solid machines that will get the job done.
Definitely go with Peloton. You will use it and love it every single day while you get healthier than ever.
I’m in the same boat. The 7.8 is 2000 vs $3000 for the Pelaton.
1 inch either side not 2
Es mejor la Norditrack por ser area commercial tiene mejores especificaciones apostaria que en la caminadora peloton mucha gente se caeriapor los sensores tan modernos de incremento y decremento de velocidad pero me gustaria probarla . pero a mi punto de vista es mejor NORDITRACK
Gracias por tu comentario. Ambas son excelentes máquinas. Paga más por la marca Peloton y no es necesariamente mejor que otras cintas de correr. También preferimos Nordictrack para la mayoría de usos.
Estoy en Eso de que no se Cual Comprar. No quiero gastar $3,000 en una maquina que se me Puede arruinar en menos de un año. He leido muy malas criticas acerca de Norditrack. Ayuda please
You didn't look as comfortable on the Pelaton.
Do they have Bluetooth capability and can they connect to 3rd party apps such as Zwift?
Great review
Neither treadmill will connect directly to Zwift, but they will sync with a Zwift Footpod.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru Thanks for the info, I use the NPE RUNN and the Zwift Footpod for my existing treadmill, but at 20 years it’s starting to show its age, starting to look around for something new
I have never used a Peloton, but I am definitely *not* a NordicTrack/iFit after purchasing a 2950. iFit is a buggy, low-featured piece of trash. And the unit ships with a huge screen but does not allow bluetooth streaming of music (outside of iFit vids), and no way to watch non-iFit videos or use the screen for anything else without a "hack". Failed.
Don’t buy new peloton tread I had 4 equipment failures in 2 months and the current wait for my current failure to get fixed is 7 weeks. If you want to be treated like second class citizen as customer because they prioritizing holiday sales then buy one. My first equipment failure happened within a week of owning it
That sucks, sorry for your experience
I just bought a Peloton Tread for my daughter for Christmas. After 1 hour of use it went completely dead. No possibility of self-help that I can see - it’s completely dead and neither they nor their bare bones user manual offer any suggestions as to what the problem might be..They won’t send anyone out until Feb 2, and they will not move that date up. I am not happy with the product or the service.
@@petergenz5474 I just bought a Sole TT8. It’s not pretty like all these other treadmills in terms of the screen size and destination runs etc. But it seems to be a runner’s treadmill. It focuses on the run and the cushioning of the strife. With a decline of -6 and max of 15 I’m digging it. Strong parts inside and great warranty. It’s a high end treadmill with. Larger price tag than the peloton but I think I will get my worth out of this one.
Peloton can't make the hardware work long-term - I learned that the hard way. It's John's vision - and that's the problem.
Is this the same peloton model that was so poorly engineered, it killed a child? I won’t buy peloton for that reason but I am seriously considering buying a norditrack
No, that was the Tread+. It has been recalled. This is the new standard belt Tread. It doesn't have the slats.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru Thanks for the Info. I appreciate your reviews.
Do not buy NordicTrack. Horrible machine and customer service
This is the worst Threadmill I’ve seen in my life. In 2 months I replaced the motor, the motor controller twice, roller front and back twice and now I have problem with the console. I’m junking this one. Let me tell you before I junked a X22i Nordictrack is a bad company with a bad costumer services, they also ship bad replacement parts. I don’t want another Nordictrack Threadmill not even for free!!!!
You are beautiful
Very frustrating..... You don't do this purily to give us all feedback on these products which is your reason why we should like and subscribe.... you do it for the money you get from subscribers and advertisers.... like all the others do. Just be honest and transparent. Peloton is a rip off. I fix treadmills for a living and the NordicTrack is the better treadmill. All I say is make sure everybody registers them from new to take advantage of the 2 year warranty, 10 year motor warranty and lifetime warranty on the frame. Parts are readily available for the NordicTracks and easier to self repair.
Just so you are aware, Peloton refuses to support any paid reviews of their products. We purchased both these treadmills and tested them as any consumer would. Our goal is to provide honest feedback that is helpful to those looking to make a purchase. Advertising allows us to produce content, but the manufacturers do not pay for our reviews.
@@TreadmillReviewGuru that is amazing. I had no idea that you buy all these treadmills! What do you do with them when you finish your reviews, sell them? Thanks for all the great work and product you put out here, I truly enjoy it!
@@rgh622 Thanks! Yes, when a new model comes out, we will sell the used treadmills. But we will often keep them for at least a year or two for testing longevity and durability. Some of the most reviewed treadmills we've had for several years continue to perform well. Others we can tell right from the start they are going to have issues.
NOTE: This product works exactly as described. ruclips.net/user/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!!
