   We were very please with this unit when it arrived, looks very sharp and the display is great.
   The new smell hasn’t even worn off and we are already starting to see problems. The entire unit is completely dependent on the on board computer (running Android OS), it gives it some great features but it can just as easily cause problems. Our’s is quite often completely unusable, even in manual mode, because the computer is locked up.
   Service is very difficult to deal with and requires very a long (30-45 minutes) wait on hold. This has been the result for several calls, not just a random call during their peak time.
   I did a fair amount of research on this treadmill before I bought and found plenty of good reviews. However now that the product has been out for a little while when I look at the reviews again, I see that many people are having problems with them. Most of the positive reviews are based on initial use. I can’t recall a positive review that indicated it had been used for any length of time.
   Everyone seems to agree that you get a lot of features for a low price. I think it is safe to say now that durability/quality is not part of the package.

   Hi Skip,

   Wow, thanks for bringing that to our attention! We really appreciate the feedback.

   Sorry their support hasn’t been very helpful too. We have seen that with other customers (persistence is key unfortunately), but we didn’t know about the computer issues.

   For anyone considering the 1750 that’s worried about this problem, check out our comparison of the top Treadmills in the $1,000 – $1,500 price range.

   There are quite a few other models to choose from that do not rely on a computer with the Android OS, like the Sole F80.

   Thanks again for helping us all out Skip!

   Kyle,

   We recently received the Nordic track 1750 as a replacement for an obsolete Nordic track elite 2900. Initially the machine looks and runs great.

   My question is this.

   On our old machine you could easily set up two distinct user profiles. You could start a manual workout as either user 1 or user 2 and the machine would track your progress according to your personal weight and stats. You did not have to enter your weight and stats each time.

   Have you received any information on how to do this on this machine without ifit live?

   My wife likes ifit live, but it is not really my thing. I just want to jump on the machine as user 1, start a manual workout and have it track my calories and such without entering my weight each time.
   Any information would be appreciated.

   The manual does not mention anything about profiles or users other than the ifit live stuff.

   If there is not this capability, I would say that families without the internet or who simply don’t want to interact with ifit live should give this treadmill a miss.

   Thanks,
   Jeff

   Hi Jeff,

   Thanks for the comment! You’re right:

   iFit Live is the new way they handle profiles, so we can’t use the traditional method, and I agree that it would be nice to have a faster/simpler low-tech option as well.

   Sometimes new and improved technology can get in the way of simplicity, and this is a good example.

   That said, once you get used to it, iFit is a very cool concept, and can be a useful tool for increasing the intensity, duration and motivation of your workouts.

   Have a good day Jeff,

   Skip,

   Just checked out a Nordic Track C1750 at Sears, the price on line is 1398.00, however there was a problem, they couldn’t get it to work.

   The computer was locked up, didn’t realize it this morning but after reading several posts, that surely was the issue.

   Going with the Sole 80 or 85. Hope this helps….

   Thanks for the feedback Al. We appreciate it!

   The C1750 is a fantastic machine, but the Android OS seems to randomly cause problems, so we’re running the 2012 model through our rating algorithm to reflect these new issues.

   As for the Sole F85, I’ve been using it heavily for almost a year and it’s never had any issues.
