NordicTrack T Series 10 Review: Worth It Over the T Series 9?
The T Series 10 is an unusual model in NordicTrack’s lineup. On paper it looks like a step up from the T Series 9, with the same 10″ tilting touchscreen and the same 152 × 51 cm deck. But here’s the thing that catches people out: the T10 actually has a weaker motor than the cheaper T9.
The T10 uses a 3.0 CHP motor. The T9 uses a 3.6 CHP motor. The T9 currently costs £1,299 while the T10 sits at £1,199. The T10 is actually £100 cheaper than the T9, but has a weaker motor. Both share the same physical chassis and 10″ tilting touchscreen, differing primarily in the motor installed.
So why does the T10 exist?
The T10 appears to be a positioning play. It launched after the T9 and fills a gap in the lineup between the T9 and the T16. The 3.0 CHP motor is still perfectly adequate for regular home running at up to 12.5 mph. Most home runners won’t notice the 0.6 CHP difference in daily use. But if you’re doing heavy interval training or running at sustained high speeds, the T9’s more powerful motor will feel smoother and more responsive during speed transitions.
What you get
The 10″ tilting HD touchscreen is the same panel as the T9. It displays iFIT workouts and virtual routes clearly, tilts for optimal viewing angle, and supports Netflix, Spotify, and Amazon Prime streaming through the iFIT 2.0 interface. SelectFlex adjustable cushioning lets you switch between soft (joint-friendly) and firm (road-feel) underfoot. The AutoBreeze fan adjusts airflow to match your workout intensity.
At 12% incline only (no decline), this sits below the Commercial range. The 147 kg max user weight is generous for the T Series and handles heavier runners comfortably.
The T10 vs T9 decision
At £1,199 vs the T9’s £1,299, the T10 is the cheaper option but with a weaker motor. If motor power matters to you (interval training, sustained high-speed running), spend the extra £100 on the T9. If you want the same screen and deck for less, the T10 saves you money. The T10 only makes poor sense if you could get the T9 on sale at or below £1,199.
If you’re set on spending in this range, also consider the T Series 16 at £1,799 for its 16″ screen, or the Commercial 1250 at £1,799 for decline training and a wider deck.
Noise levels
The 3.0 CHP motor runs quietly at walking and jogging speeds. At a brisk walk (3-4 mph), conversation in the same room is easy. At a steady run (7-8 mph), you’ll hear the belt and foot strikes more than the motor itself. The motor noise only becomes noticeable above 10 mph during intervals. For flat or apartment use, the T10 is suitable at reasonable hours, particularly on the softer SelectFlex cushioning setting which dampens foot strikes.
SelectFlex cushioning explained
The T Series 10 includes NordicTrack’s SelectFlex adjustable cushioning system, which is shared across all T Series models. A physical lever under the deck switches between two modes: soft (maximum joint protection, ideal for recovery runs and walking) and firm (road-feel, better for pace work and race preparation). Most home runners leave it on soft, which reduces impact by up to 30% compared to pavement running. Serious runners preparing for outdoor races should train on the firm setting regularly to condition their joints for harder surfaces.
iFIT on the T10
The iFIT experience on the T10 is identical to the T9 since both use the same 10″ tilting HD touchscreen. Trainer-led workouts cover running, walking, HIIT, and strength training. Virtual outdoor routes filmed across 50+ countries automatically control speed and incline to match real terrain. SmartAdjust learns from your manual overrides during workouts and personalises future sessions to your fitness level.
Netflix, Spotify, and Amazon Prime are built into the iFIT 2.0 interface, so you can stream entertainment directly on the touchscreen without propping up a phone or tablet. The screen tilts to an optimal viewing angle and can be used for off-treadmill iFIT workouts like yoga and stretching.
The 30-day free trial included with purchase gives you enough time to decide whether iFIT is worth the £15/month individual or £39/month family subscription. Without iFIT, the treadmill works in manual mode with full speed and incline control, and the screen displays your workout stats clearly.
Assembly and first impressions
Assembly is a two-person job and takes approximately 60-90 minutes. The instructions are straightforward but the unit is heavy. Once assembled, the T10 feels solid and planted. The SpaceSaver folding design with EasyLift Assist works reliably. A hydraulic ram does most of the heavy lifting when unfolding the deck, and the unit locks firmly in both running and folded positions.
The footprint when unfolded is roughly 190 × 90 cm. When folded, the deck rises vertically, halving the floor space needed. Transport wheels on the front allow repositioning on hard floors, though on carpet you’ll struggle to move it alone.
Who should NOT buy the T10
Skip the T10 if you’ve found the T9 at its regular £1,299 price. The T9’s stronger motor and lower price make it objectively better value for the same screen and deck. Skip it if you need decline training, which requires stepping up to the Commercial range starting at £1,799. And skip it if you never plan to use iFIT, as you’re paying for touchscreen hardware designed around a platform you won’t use. In that case, a JTX Sprint-7 or Reebok Jet 300 offers strong performance without the subscription overhead.
What we like
- 10″ tilting touchscreen makes iFIT genuinely usable
- SelectFlex adjustable cushioning (soft or firm)
- 147 kg max user weight is generous for the T Series
- 0% finance via Klarna when buying direct
- Full-size 152 × 51 cm deck
- AutoBreeze cooling fan
What could be better
- 3.0 CHP motor is weaker than the cheaper T Series 9 (3.6 CHP)
- Higher price than the T9 despite less motor power
- No decline training (Commercial range only)
- 51 cm deck width feels narrow compared to 55 cm Commercial models
- iFIT subscription adds ongoing cost
Our verdict
The T Series 10 is a good treadmill, but the T Series 9 is usually the smarter buy with more motor power at a lower price. Check both prices before committing. If the T10 is on sale below the T9, it’s a solid choice. Otherwise, save with the T9 or stretch to the T16 for a bigger screen.
