Our Rating

Rating: 92.8/100. The C 700 Treadmill is a lower-level option in NordicTrack’s C Series, an entry-level collection. This model has the track length and horsepower to support long walks but isn’t recommended for runners. Walkers will appreciate the 10 percent incline and integrated support for workouts and entertainment. We caution shoppers about this treadmill’s two-year parts warranty though. With such limited consumer protection, the C 700 isn’t necessarily a bargain despite its $597 online sale price.

Pros:

Power incline (Maximum 10%)
Customizable cushioning (On/off)
Music friendly (iPod-compatible, 2″ speakers)
20 built-in workout apps
iFit-enabled
Tablet holder
SpaceSaver design (Foldable)

Cons:

Short warranty on parts (One year)
Lower quality motor
Lower quality track
Slow customer service

While the C 700 Treadmill has a lot to offer, its short warranty and NordicTrack’s reputation for substandard customer support are important drawbacks to consider. For a less risky buy we recommend moving up to NordicTrack’s C 990 or considering a more solid (yet less feature-rich) treadmill brand such as Sole.

Conclusion

The C 700 Treadmill is low-priced and feature-rich. However, it doesn’t carry a long warranty and isn’t constructed for long-term durability. We encourage shoppers to check out the big benefits of spending just $200 more; several $999 treadmills such as the Horizon 7.0AT have earned our enthusiastic reviews.
