Hi, this is a short review for NordicTrack A2550 model.

Weight:
This is a very heavy & big machine. Pay the extra fee for the in house delivering.(Unless you have a lot of friends/family members that are willing to help you).

Assembly:
The process is pretty straight forward but it will take you at least one hour to do it. Also because the machine is very heavy you should assemble near his definitive location.

The package items are easy to find and the instructions are pretty clear. If you can pay for delivering and installation: do it.

Warranty:
You get a lifetime warranty for the motor and frame but only one year for the parts. This is not a good thing. You are going to scream if you see the part price list. So get the extend warranty.

Console:
The console is easy to use and I love the Quick Speed and Incline keys (didn’t have these on my previous treadmill).The design is boring and the sound from the speakers is not very good.

Didn’t have time to play with the iFit cards and I don’t think I will. But, it looks like a nice feature for beginners.

The heart monitor is completely off- it’s need some time to display the pulse that is wrong in 50% of the cases. However you should not consider this a minus since all the handgrips hear reader (on other brands) don’t function right.

Noise:
Well it makes some noise, but is not something annoying. I think you can watch the tv (with sound on normal level) and use this treadmill. I never tried since I’m an Ipod guy.

Cushioning:
The cushioning is surprisingly good. It gives me a firm feel.

Walking and running
The walking area is spacious and can accommodate tall persons. The machine makes a strange noise at lower speed (around 2.5 mph) but it disappear when you use it at higher speeds.

The machines feels good and it runs smoothly at higher speeds. No problems when you use the incline. Everything works as expected.

There is a small problem when you change the speed via the Quick keys. If you go from 8 to 3 mph you have the feeling that it stop and then start again at the desired speed.

Customer Service
I didn’t have any problems with my unit so I cannot say anything on this chapter.
