NordicTrack A2105 Review

We purchased our NordicTrack A2105 a few months ago.  We are so pleased with the quality and durability of this machine!  My husband and I use this treadmill daily for both walking and running.  We were frustrated at how flimsy other treadmills were that we looked at.  To us, $400 is a lot of money to invest into a machine that isn't going to last or is made cheaply enough to break.

So we purchased this treadmill used for the price of a new cheap one at the big "mart" near us.  This thing is very heavy...which was a pain to move, but personally I'd rather have a heavy treadmill than a light one!

It does fold manually, has multiple fitness program settings built into the electronic iFit panel on the front.  It has a two speed fan in the front that I love!

This treadmill goes up to 10mph and has an electronic incline of up to 10%.  I love that I can be mid-walk and not only change my speed with the touch of a button, but that I can raise or lower the incline without ever getting off the treadmill or stopping.  Makes it very easy to kick your workout up a notch and go from a fast walk to a run...or to raise the incline enough that you feel as though you are climbing a big hill!

We've had no mechanical issues at all with this.  No slipping of the belt even when running, which is a problem on some cheaper brands.  I can use the treadmill at night and my kids all stay asleep.  The noise isn't terribly loud.  Just a whirring to be expected of the belt.  The belt track is also wider than alot of other treadmills we looked at (measures 20"x55").

There is "Flex Response Cushioning" in the middle of the belt track that help keep the impact lower on your feet and joints.  I have a broken back as well as heel spurs and really think that this system helps keep the jostling to a minimum.  We're very happy with our NordicTrack and recommend one for those that are budget conscious like us!
