Thanks for covering a good range on this. I was unsure as I just purchased this and am awaiting its delivery tomorrow! This makes me much more excited.
Thank you Kaley (sp?). I would instantly get this one, IF it had a shelf. Is there a similar one with a tablet shelf? (Not at all interested in a 40 bucks subscription to ifit.) Thank you so much!!
@@BestTreadmillReviews thank you so much! I ordered this one, plus a clear plastic tablet shelf that hangs over the built in one. :) Happy. Thank you for this review!!
Bought a 1250 Nordic Track treadmill directly from Nordic Track. Took about a month to arrive and it was dropped off on the street beside the sidewalk. After hiring some help we got it in the house and near the end of assembly I had a swivel screen was frozen at 90%. So I reached out for help and they were going to sent me a part. Wait? What!? Their 3 month warranty is 3 months from DATE of purchase, parts were covered, but labour is described as help in telling you what to do, finding helpful videos, etc. COMPLETELY AND INTENTIONALLY MISLEADING. And by the time the part arrived my warranty had expired and they refused to do any “labour”. But I could pay a technician $150 for a quote. My recommendation is take a HARD PASS on this clearly shady company.
Best to purchase treadmills from Costco (in this case they have the NordicTrack 1250) or Amazon. They will take your returns with NO hassle (if something is not working)!
You'll be just fine with the EXP 7i unless you want the larger screen. The 7-inch screen on the EXP 7i is pretty small and hard to see. I like the 10-inch 1250 a lot more.
I prefer the 1250 for its longer running deck. The running surface on the 1250 feels more supportive and more cushioned. The console also has more tech if you are interested in iFIT. That said, the T6.5s is a great bargain.
Recently bought two of these - one lasted 4 hours and the other 43 hours before the belt lost drive. Told by NordicTrack that they are not covered under the warranty as this only covers home use. Initial quotes to repair them suggests the cost will be £750 each. Needless to say I will not be buying any further NordicTrack equipment.
The 1250 works without a subscription in manual mode and with one featured class. If you want training programs, you have to subscribe. I hope that helps!
The 1250 has a 3 HP motor which is the minimum we recommend for daily running for one user. If multiple runners are using the treadmill every day, a 3.5 HP motor or higher will hold up better (not burn out) long term.
It's a fairly quiet treadmill, but it may not be suitable for spacing with shared walls. If you have people living below you, they will hear the motor and your foot noise.
It's hard to say how much use a treadmill can handle with a particular motor strength. We prefer a 4.0 HP motor for multiple hours of daily use. The 1250 only has a 3.0 horsepower motor. HP doesn't tell the whole story, but it's our general recommendation.
@@BestTreadmillReviews Hi. I am really struggling to make a decision. I am looking at proform pro 9000, Sole F63, Horizon 7.0 atzone, nordicktrack exp 10i, NordicTrack commercial1250 or Echelon 4s+, but i am also open to suggestions. Occasional use for a beginner runner/walking when the weather is not good. I am also after something that doesn't require subscription. The Horizon or Sole seem a good option but I know if i don't get something close to gym grade experience i will not use it. What would you recommend I do?
@@soniabarker8598 None of those are commercial grade machines. I would consider the Sole F80 in addition to those others you are looking at. Out of the ones you listed, I recommend the NordicTrack 1250 and the Horizon 7.0 AT.

The Sole F80 does not require a subscription. The NordicTrack EXP 10i and EXP 7i have tablet racks. They use iFIT, but I like using them without it.

Is the heart rate monitor function able to be used without an ifit subscription
You can connect a heart rate monitor to see it on the screen, but you can't use the ActivePulse feature for automatic adjustments.
Amazing, thorough review. Thank you!

Is the price difference worth it vs the EXP i7? Not a runner here just looking for daily exercise.
You'll be just fine with the EXP 7i unless you want the larger screen. The 7-inch screen on the EXP 7i is pretty small and hard to see. I like the 10-inch 1250 a lot more.
What do you think about this treadmill compared to the nordictrack T6.5s?
I prefer the 1250 for its longer running deck. The running surface on the 1250 feels more supportive and more cushioned. The console also has more tech if you are interested in iFIT. That said, the T6.5s is a great bargain.
HI, can we use Privilege Mode for Netflix on this treadmill
As far as we know, you can't access Netflix through privilege mode anymore.
Recently bought two of these - one lasted 4 hours and the other 43 hours before the belt lost drive. Told by NordicTrack that they are not covered under the warranty as this only covers home use. Initial quotes to repair them suggests the cost will be £750 each. Needless to say I will not be buying any further NordicTrack equipment.
Do you need a subscription to use the treadmill? They have a great deal on it right now
The 1250 works without a subscription in manual mode and with one featured class. If you want training programs, you have to subscribe. I hope that helps!
What did you mean by if not using the treadmill every single day?
The 1250 has a 3 HP motor which is the minimum we recommend for daily running for one user. If multiple runners are using the treadmill every day, a 3.5 HP motor or higher will hold up better (not burn out) long term.
@@BestTreadmillReviews thank you for explaining that further.
I can’t seem to tell if the fan turns on or not
It should work. Our fan works fine.
Thanks for the review! How noisy is it? Looking to be considerate to my neighbors
It's a fairly quiet treadmill, but it may not be suitable for spacing with shared walls. If you have people living below you, they will hear the motor and your foot noise.
I’m sold
I hope you enjoy your new treadmill!
Why do you keep saying that this is not a treadmill for use with others every single day?
It's hard to say how much use a treadmill can handle with a particular motor strength. We prefer a 4.0 HP motor for multiple hours of daily use. The 1250 only has a 3.0 horsepower motor. HP doesn't tell the whole story, but it's our general recommendation.
Bluetooth does not connect to mobile or headset at all
Bluetooth should connect to headphones, but it does not connect to your phone. If you are having trouble, try resetting the treadmill.
I don't want anything that I have to continue paying a subscription for. .🙄
Check out Horizon or Sole's treadmills! They do not require a subscription. I really like the Sole F80 and the Horizon 7.0 AT!
