I had buyer’s remorse for about 1 day after choosing the updated x22 over the x32, but, after this review (and your review of the 2021 update for the x22) I’m now super stoked with my choice. Your reviews are super helpful, in depth and more informative than most others (including manufacturers marketing or other indie sources like consumer reports!) - keep up the great reviews!

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!

Decided to go with the X22i My wife preferred the better storage / water bottle access. She also didn't want to pay the extra $1200 ish for the 32i. I on the other hand would have gone with the X32i hands down because of the bigger screen. I do not see myself adjusting the settings so much that the lower controls would have mattered. But I would have loved that bigger screen :( oh well... The boss said X22i so that's what we got :)
Spoiler Alert!! Please exercise caution and sound judgement before buying this product. Their customer support is ignorant and you will likely regret it in weeks if not days. You pay so much for it and there is absolutely nothing you can do once you’ve bought it and face these issues. First they shipped the treadmill in parts it took 3 or 4 months. Then I had billing issues. They billed me twice saying they were sending a second one since the first shipment had missing parts, it took forever to resolve and now the belt does not move. Good luck if you do decide to buy it. I own one and now I feel stuck with it. The belt stopped moving in 6 months and in under 400 miles that I’ve used it for. If you do magically manage to get to help desk - they will literally ask you to open console (which is ridiculous), they use self service concept through a video app. If something happens they don’t even respond to your calls/emails. I dread the music they play when you wait for help and worst thing is they try to sell you more stuff while you’re on hold for hours. 😅 holy macaroni!
I watched 3 of your reviews and commended your detailed review; it helped me pick the x22i for cost-saving and deck design to hold my water or phone. Thank 🙇
I noticed that when running on the X22i, you were much closer to the rear of the belt, to the point a couple of times I felt like uh-oh... It seems like just a little inattention and you could more easily get in trouble. I'm 6' 1" and have proportionally long legs, so I'm glad we decided on the X32i.
Eric I just added my experience on the x22i as a 6’ 173lb guy. It was the cross bar that I found somewhat annoying because my arm swing had to be adjusted so I didn’t hit it.I too also felt I had to pay close attention to location on belt .
Not preloaded. There is a "hack" you can use to access the Android tablet directly and then download various apps. There are several other videos (not ours) on RUclips that describe how to do this. It can impact the functionality of the machine since iFit has to be running in the background at the same time, so do some research on this beforehand if you are interested.
Thank you for the review! If you had no budget constraints, would you still buy the x22 over the x32? The x32 console designed seems odd to me. Too much screen and little to none room for phone or water bottle.
I really love the way how detailed you are with honesty, thank you so much! I would like to ask if what treadmill and elliptical for a person who is tall like 6’5”? I just want to make sure that my husband can use it too and not only me. You recommendation will be highly appreciated!
I'm glad our reviews are helpful. Our reviewer Matthew is 6'5" and he can used the x22i or x32i comfortably. They both provide plenty of space. Your biggest consideration is going to be ceiling clearance. The x32i inclines to 34" off the floor at the full 40% incline, so add that to the height of your tallest user and then we suggest another 12-18" of clearance for bounce while running, etc. As long as your ceilings provide enough headspace, he should have plenty of room on the treadmills themselves. As far as ellipticals go, we'd recommend either the Sole E35i or the Nordictrack Commercial 14.9. We DO NOT recommend the FS10i or FS14i as these ellipticals can rock significantly when used by larger individuals.
I picked the X321. This is a really big machine. With the incline you have to think carefully about placement. Don't put it under the ceiling fan unless you have 10' ceilings. 🙃
I would consider buying one of these since my old Spirit treadmill is dying....but I think if you put these in a garage it voids the warranty? No room in the house, so I need it in the garage or not at all.
That is true, from our understanding of that "void the warranty" statement from NordicTrack, if your garage is a dedicated and well ventilated space then you should be good to go. But if you're putting your treadmill in the garage next to the lawn mower or something like that, that's where your warranty will void. Let me know if you have any follow up questions on that.
Just wondering how tall you are? I'm 5'9" and I like the placement on the 22, being higher. I wonder why the 32 has the screen so low? I like to look straight ahead when I run, better posture. How does it feel to you?
Good question! I am 5'5" and one of my issues with the x32i is the screen is rather low. Because it is so large, it isn't overly noticeable - it fills your line of vision. However, the control panel beneath the screen is set rather low as well. For taller users, I imagine this would be an issue, especially when the deck is inclined - this lifts you up, further from the screen & control panel. One of the reasons I prefer the x22i is because the screen placement feels more natural to me.
The machine will come with a free 1 Year membership when you purchase the machine or else it's $33/month. But you can use them with the membership, you will just still need an internet access to use any of the onboard workouts.

Hello, I just returned the 2021 x22i. My main concern was that the crossbar interferes with my arm Swing while hiking and walking fast. I was recovering from foot surgery so I was not able to run but what I did gel as the incline and speed increased was a feeling that I needed more length behind me. Notice where the console supports are seated back further than the X32i . Also note that the crossbar on the x32i is curved up. I think the placement of the crossbar on the x22i gets in the way. I’m 6’ tall and 173 lbs. I just wish I felt better to give it a longer more thorough test . It was also noisier than the previous X22i I sent back due to damage on delivery. I ordered over the holidays and had to wait 45 days before it was delivered . I think ithe first one was used . The high demand during the pandemic and short staffed delivery companies wreaked havoc on the process.
It's hard to argue with the 32" touchscreen on the x32i -- it really is amazing. But in our opinion the x22i is a better deal. It's $500 less but still offers the same functionality. (They recently raised the price on the x32i). Unless you are tall and need the extra 5" of deck length on the x32i, we'd opt for the x22i just based on price to value ratio.
@@DuolingothirsttrapXD I wouldn't send it back... if you've already ordered it (and can therefore afford it), you'll love the x32i! For many people the price tag puts it out of reach, so we want to reassure buyers that the x22i is also a great machine for a good price. But side by side, the x32i is extremely impressive and that screen is to die for!

So, after getting my refund back . Peloton still hadn't picked up my treadmill. What should I do? I contacted them three different times to get it picked up but every time they were supposed to show up and pick it up. they never call me to say they aren't going to show, they just don't show up. What should I do. Keep it, and never reply to them ? Or try and contact them for the fourth time ????
Assembly is not overly difficult. It takes two people and around two hours. We assemble all of our treadmills ourselves here at the studio. We learn more about them this way and save ourselves the set-up cost. However, it does take a bit of time and upper-body strength, so have a strong friend on hand and maybe a bottle of wine ;)
I have a new X22i that quit working and it’s been 6 weeks of calling, emailing and no response. I really regret spending so much more net on this machine. Just sick over it
The belt on x22i is way too short!!! BOTH the x22i and x32i screen is too low forcing you to look DOWNWARDS. TERRIBLE for your neck!!! I have the x32i but it's AWFULLY designed... meaning the height of screen which CANNOT be moved higher 👎

Why would you choose the X22i or the X32i over the other? Let us know in the comments!
being tall, I wish I could get the extra 5inches of belt on the x32 with the console on the x22.

If you are short (5 ft or less) the limited angle of the X22i screen makes it hard to see. The X32i is better for shorter people.

They're really similar. We didn't find one to be noticeably quieter than the other.
