NordicTrack A2550 Treadmill Specifications

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. Because the machine is very heavy you should assemble at its final location.

The package items are easy to find and instructions are pretty clear. But 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 parts price list. So get the extended 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 coming from the speakers is not very good.

I 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 needs some time to display the pulse that is wrong 50% of the times you use it. However you should not consider this a minus since all the hand grips heart readers (on other brands) don’t function right as well.

Noise:
Well it makes some noise, but it’s not something annoying. I think you can watch TV (with sound at a normal level) and use this treadmill at the same time. I’ve never tried it 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 disappears 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 speed via the Quick Keys. If you go from 8 to 3 mph you get the impression that the machine stops and then starts again at the chosen level speed.

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