I recently purchased a new (2024) NordicTrack 1750 commercial. I previously had an older model (2018) that recently stopped working, but had been a terrific treadmill during it’s lifespan. Nordictrack has apparently decided to focus it’s entire business model on the IFit subscription ($15-$39/mo; $144-$396/ year) which I neither need nor want. Instead, I have been using the manual mode, with some difficulty. They have seemingly programmed the unit to constantly remind you that you should subscribe to IFit. They even periodically make it very difficult to use manual mode unless you take a photo of a QR code, go to a website, and decline IFit. This is corporate harassment, and if I wasn’t past the return window - I would certainly do so. The hardware is also less user friendly. For one thing the speed, incline, and fan electronic controls are on the black horizontal bar below the display screen. They are not backlit and very difficult to see and use (poor contrast lettering on dark background). I had to attach a small battery operated LED light above these controls to be able to see them. Also, the touchscreen frequently stops responding, necessitating disconnecting unit from power source, then restarting. There is only one fan on the unit (there were 3 on my 2018 commercial 1750) and it is very noisy on high. All in all the commercial 1750 is a significant step down in quality and functionality from prior models. The additional hassle of their obsession with getting users to subscribe to IFit makes a bad unit even worse. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND PURCHASE OF THIS UNIT!!!
