Introduction
The NordicTrack Commercial 1750 has been a popular choice among home fitness enthusiasts for years, and the latest model continues to impress with its combination of performance, features, and value.
Design and Build Quality
The Commercial 1750 features a sturdy steel frame that feels solid and stable, even during intense running sessions. The deck is spacious at 22" x 60", making it suitable for users of all heights, including taller runners who need more stride length.
One of the standout design features is the EasyLift Assist technology, which makes folding the treadmill for storage relatively simple despite its size. The hydraulic system does most of the heavy lifting for you.
Performance
Powered by a 3.5 CHP DurX™ Commercial Plus Motor, the 1750 delivers consistent performance even during long, intense workouts. The motor runs quietly, which is a significant advantage for home use, especially if you live in an apartment or plan to exercise early in the morning or late at night.
The speed range of 0-12 mph accommodates everything from walking to sprinting, while the -3% to 15% incline/decline range allows for varied workout intensity and simulates real-world terrain.
Features and Technology
The 10" HD touchscreen is responsive and provides access to iFit, NordicTrack's interactive training platform. With an iFit subscription, you can access thousands of workout programs led by professional trainers, who can automatically adjust your treadmill's speed and incline to match the workout.
The Runners Flex™ cushioning system allows you to adjust the deck's firmness, providing either more impact absorption for joint protection or a firmer surface that simulates road running.
User Experience
Setting up workout programs is intuitive, whether you're using the built-in programs or iFit. The console layout is clean, with easy access to speed and incline controls, including quick-select buttons for common settings.
The dual AutoBreeze™ fans provide decent cooling during workouts, though they're not as powerful as standalone fans. The integrated Bluetooth speakers deliver good sound quality for workout music or following along with iFit classes.
Value and Price
At $1,899, the Commercial 1750 sits in the mid-to-high price range for home treadmills. However, considering its commercial-grade construction, advanced features, and technology integration, it offers excellent value compared to gym-quality machines that can cost significantly more.
The comprehensive warranty (10-year frame, 2-year parts, 1-year labor) adds to the value proposition and provides peace of mind for such a significant investment.
Who Should Buy It?
The NordicTrack Commercial 1750 is ideal for:
- Serious runners who need a durable, high-performance machine
- Fitness enthusiasts who value interactive training through iFit
- Households with multiple users of different fitness levels
- People with enough space to accommodate a full-sized treadmill
Who Should Look Elsewhere?
This treadmill may not be the best choice for:
- Those on a tight budget
- People with very limited space
- Users who prefer simpler equipment without tech features
Conclusion
The NordicTrack Commercial 1750 continues to be one of the best treadmills in its class. It strikes an excellent balance between performance, features, and price, making it a worthwhile investment for those serious about their home fitness routine.
