3 Horsepower Motor Reviews

This is often a very, very impressive treadmill for that price. It includes almost each of the features I search for inside a treadmill to hit that "it's an incredible buy" level of quality. The only criticism I have on this treadmill can it be doesn't come which has a wireless heartbeat monitoring system. Instead, you need to grip pulse sensors on the handlebar to obtain a heartbeat reading.

Other compared to the heartbeat monitoring dislike, this is one fantastic treadmill. The features and specifications tell the complete story. Check them out.

Motor power is good

The NordicTrack Commercial 1500 folding treadmill is outfitted which has a 3.0 horsepower motor. For under $1,500 this is good. In fact, not too many treadmills on this budget range come using this level of power.

Running space

If you're read other treadmill reviews by me, then you know I always give preference with a 60 inch long running deck. I'm tall and have a very long gait. Moreover, even people under 6 feet tall appreciate extra running space. It's no fun thinking about mis-stepping off the back end because the tread deck is too short.

This treadmilll by NordicTrack features a 60 inch long running deck. Again, a premium feature on the not-so-premium price.

Speed and Incline

1 - Touch Incline and Speed Adjustment. You don't must hit the button many times to get your required speed (which tops out at 12 mph) and incline (which tops out at 15 percent). If you've used a treadmill, you already know what I'm speaking about how inconvenient it really is hitting the up or down arrows to generate these adjustments.

1-touch is a nice touch

iFit Live Compatible

iFit has gotten treadmill technology by storm. More and much more treadmills are now being outfitted with iFit Live technology. Yes, you need to pay separately for the iFit software, however it is nice having the option.

iFit Live has several features including tracking your workouts. However, what I love about this is you are able to program real-world routes in the computer after which the treadmill will replicate that route for you personally with respect to distance and incline. For example, should you be training for the Portland, OR marathon, you can insert that race then run it around the treadmill.

Even cooler is actually viewing the scenery from the race while you run. In order to do this, you simply mount your laptop for the console and you'll find a way to watch the scenery at street level whilst you run.

Folding Capability

This treadmill is easy to fold and un-fold. This is ideal for easy storing.
