NordicTrack Commercial 1750 Review: The Best All-Round Home Treadmill?
The Commercial 1750 is NordicTrack’s best-selling treadmill worldwide, and after researching and comparing every model in their 2026 UK range, it’s easy to see why. It sits in the sweet spot between the affordable T Series and the premium Commercial 2450, offering the best balance of motor power, screen quality, and build quality at a price that doesn’t require a second mortgage.
At £1,999 (frequently discounted, and available on 0% finance from £84/month via Klarna), the Commercial 1750 competes with the Peloton Tread and high-end Reebok treadmills, but offers more motor power, a bigger screen, and decline training that neither of those rivals can match at this price point.
What’s changed for 2025/2026?
The current generation brought substantial upgrades over the previous model. The motor jumped from 3.75 CHP to 4.25 CHP, which is the same unit found in the more expensive Commercial 2450. The screen grew from 14″ to 16″. The running belt widened to 55 cm. If you’re buying second-hand, check which year model you’re getting because the differences between the 2024 and 2025+ versions are significant.
Motor and performance
The 4.25 CHP motor is the headline upgrade that elevates this treadmill above the mid-range. At normal running speeds (5-8 mph), this motor is barely working. That translates to three practical benefits: quieter operation, faster speed transitions during interval training, and a significantly longer lifespan.
Speed tops out at 12.5 mph, which is comfortable for the vast majority of home runners. Only the Commercial 2450 goes faster at 13.7 mph, and that matters exclusively to runners chasing sub-5-minute miles. For everyone else, 12.5 mph is more than enough.
The -3% to 12% incline/decline range is where the Commercial 1750 separates itself from every treadmill in the T Series. Decline training simulates downhill running, engages different muscle groups (particularly the quads and calves), and is essential if you’re training for any race with elevation changes. The T Series models max out at 12% incline with no decline capability at all.
The 16″ pivoting touchscreen
The 16-inch HD touchscreen is the second feature that justifies the price. It’s large enough to make iFIT’s trainer-led workouts and virtual outdoor routes genuinely immersive, rather than something you squint at during a run. The screen pivots 180 degrees, so you can spin it around for off-treadmill iFIT classes like yoga, strength training, and stretching.
Netflix, Spotify, and Amazon Prime are built directly into the iFIT 2.0 interface, so you can stream entertainment without propping your phone on the shelf. The speakers are decent for a treadmill but Bluetooth headphone connectivity is available for a better audio experience.
iFIT: worth the subscription?
Every NordicTrack treadmill is designed around iFIT, and the Commercial 1750 is where the platform really comes alive. A 30-day free trial is included. After that, iFIT costs £39/month for a family plan (up to 5 profiles) or £15/month for individual access.
The standout feature is automatic terrain adjustment. When you run a virtual route filmed in the Swiss Alps, the treadmill automatically adjusts speed and incline to match the real terrain. Combined with the 16″ screen and decline capability, this creates an experience that genuinely feels like outdoor running.
Without iFIT, the treadmill works perfectly well in manual mode. You get full control over speed and incline, and the screen displays your stats clearly. But you’re paying for screen hardware that goes underutilised. If you know you’ll never subscribe to iFIT, the Reebok Jet 300 or JTX Sprint 9 Pro offer strong no-subscription alternatives.
Build quality and deck
The Commercial 1750 weighs around 130 kg assembled. It feels substantial and planted during use with no wobble at higher speeds. The SpaceSaver folding design with EasyLift Assist works reliably, and the hydraulic ram does most of the heavy lifting when folding and unfolding.
The 55 × 152 cm running deck is comfortable for runners up to about 6 ft 2. The extra 4 cm of width compared to the T Series (51 cm) makes a noticeable difference at pace with tired legs. RunFlex cushioning offers a firmer, more road-like feel compared to the SelectFlex adjustable cushioning on the T Series models.
Assembly is a two-person job and takes 60-90 minutes. The instructions are clear but the unit is heavy. Once positioned, you probably aren’t moving it regularly even with the folding design.
Warranty (important)
NordicTrack offers a lifetime frame, 10-year motor, and 2-year parts and labour warranty on the Commercial 1750, but only if you register within 28 days of purchase at ifitsupport.eu. Miss that window and you drop to basic 12-month cover. Register immediately after delivery. This is less generous than Reebok’s automatic warranty which requires no registration.
What we like
- 4.25 CHP motor is the same unit as the £2,499 Commercial 2450
- 16″ pivoting touchscreen makes iFIT genuinely immersive
- Decline training (-3%) not available on any T Series model
- 55 cm wide deck is comfortable at pace
- 0% finance via Klarna from £84/month
- Folds despite commercial-grade build quality
- Netflix, Spotify, Amazon Prime built into iFIT 2.0
- Quiet Drive motor keeps noise minimal
What could be better
- iFIT subscription adds £15-39/month on top of the purchase price
- 136 kg max user weight is modest for a £2,000 treadmill
- Warranty requires registration within 28 days or you lose extended cover
- Heavy (130 kg) and awkward to move once assembled
- 12.5 mph max speed is the same as the £1,164 T Series 8
- RunFlex cushioning is firm with no adjustability
How does it compare?
The Commercial 1750 sits in a competitive bracket. Here’s how it stacks up against the most relevant alternatives.
| Spec | Commercial 1750 | Commercial 2450 | Commercial 1250 | Peloton Tread |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Price | £1,999 | £2,499 | £1,799 | £2,295 |
| Motor | 4.25 CHP | 4.25 CHP | 3.6 CHP | Not disclosed |
| Speed | 12.5 mph | 13.7 mph | 12.5 mph | 12.5 mph |
| Incline | -3% to 12% | -3% to 15% | -3% to 12% | 0% to 12.5% |
| Screen | 16″ HD | 24″ HD | 10″ HD | 23.8″ HD |
| Deck | 55 × 152 cm | 56 × 152 cm | 55 × 152 cm | 51 × 150 cm |
| Max user | 136 kg | 182 kg | 136 kg | 135 kg |
| Decline | Yes (-3%) | Yes (-3%) | Yes (-3%) | No |
| 0% finance | Yes (Klarna) | Yes (Klarna) | Yes (Klarna) | No |
Against the Commercial 2450, the 1750 shares the same motor but sacrifices max speed (12.5 vs 13.7 mph), incline range (12% vs 15%), deck width (55 vs 56 cm), and screen size (16″ vs 24″). For most home runners, those differences won’t matter daily. The 2450 is for runners chasing sub-5-minute miles or those who want the absolute best NordicTrack makes.
Against the Peloton Tread, the 1750 wins on motor transparency (Peloton doesn’t disclose motor specs), decline capability (Peloton has none), 0% finance availability, and price. Peloton wins on screen size and arguably on the quality of its instructor-led classes. Both platforms are excellent.
Our verdict
The NordicTrack Commercial 1750 is the treadmill we’d recommend to most serious home runners. It has the motor power to handle anything you throw at it, a screen that makes iFIT genuinely worth using, decline training that the cheaper models lack, and a folding design that means it doesn’t need a dedicated gym room. At £1,999 (or £84/month on 0% finance), it hits the sweet spot between performance and value. If you only look at one NordicTrack treadmill, make it this one.
