For the price that i paid for the running machine (Commercial 2450) i did expect a higher quality item. the fit and finish isnt brilliant and in some parts it doesnt line up correctly. Putting the machine together is a bit of a chore. However, after checking all of the reviews before buying, i knew this was going to be the case so was ready for it. Anyway, im not bothered by the difficulties in putting it together. Its a two-man job and very heavy. Heres the crux of the matter, in regards to the negative comments I have on it. The belt is not aligned and was slipping when i started. I fixed this by turning the bolts as per the instructions. This has fixed the slipping but the belt is slightly off to the right now and cant be brought back without the slipping occurring again. Attention to detail isnt great, again. Once you start running on it, i must say that it is very stable and will, hopefully last me years. The running experience is somewhat hampered by the constant creaks, knocks and squeaks that come out of this thing. "Whisper quet" it aint. The racket that this thing makes is incredible. However, i would say, worth it. I would say this as i have spent all the money and its a hassle to pay to send in back and disassemble it etc and also because at its core is a very good running machine. With regards tot he IFit system. That is brilliant. Excellently implemented. There are a few bugs with the software but thats not Nordictrack's fault. This bring me onto the Android tablet with access to the web. LOL LOL LOL LOL. No chance. I think it must be running Android 1.0 as its soooo slow and accessing any website is pointless as it doesnt display it properly. Not even the ifit site. If youre going to include it as a USP then i think it has to be a LOT better implemented than it is. Also, the "suspension" that is part of the machine is an interesting thing. There is nothing in the instructions about it but i can safely tell you that, it doesnt work. Makes no difference if its on or off. Exactly the same. Weird, but not a deal breaker for me. In summary, a great running machine. Let down by the quality of the fit and finish and also by the tech that isnt much cop. Definitely wouldnt pay the full price for it.
