First of all, this is 100x better than any treadmill I've used at the gym. Hence, the 4 stars. That said, at this price point I just don't think there is any excuse for some of the shortcomings. The picture quality is far from sharp, and the response to touch makes me feel like I'm navigating an old faulty tablet. The iFit workouts take a while to load and at best you're going to see 720p. I just can't believe they couldn't have thrown a decent screen on there. There is a way to access privileged mode and use a web browser to watch Youtube or Netflix videos but they stream in even worse quality than the iFit programs so it's not even worth trying. Also be aware that the old models had the option to cast to another screen but they removed that on this latest model. Ifit programs are convenient in that they automatically adjust your speed and incline for you. BUT I am someone who needs high energy music when working out and none of the programs include anything other than a background track. The bluetooth enabled speakers built into the tread are decent though, so I usually mute the program audio and listen to my own music. That's a definite upside to the Peloton tread though- not only do they build a lot of their runs around the beat and energy of the tracks they play, but they also have a much easier platform to navigate and you are able to filter and search for a work out by intensity, time length, music genre, etc which iFit doesn't accommodate. They also allow you to take live classes. Most of the time when using this tread I will cast a Peloton run to my tv ( they give you 3 months free to use their app) and follow that and listen to their music, but I will put an iFit run on my tread screen for visual interest. You are able to stop iFit from adjusting your speed/incline if you want to do this. One more note on iFit, once the iFit workout is complete it will kick you onto a "cool down" screen which won't continue to count your workout stats, and you must exit and end the program and start a new one if you want to continue to track your run progress. A minor inconvenience but one that bothers me every time when I cant view my total calories, distance, and time added together. There are a few design flaws as well. It's super inconvenient to reach around to the back of the screen to grab your water bottle. The bar on the front crosses directly over the fan airflow when it's pointed up, so I can never feel it on my face. The highest it reaches is my chest. I'm not sure how they didn't catch this. About 50% of the time, the buttons need to be pressed a couple of times before they register which can be frustrating when you're trying to do intervals and don't want to be spending so much time transitioning. There is no tray or caddy to keep remotes, phone, headphones case, or other personal belongings close by other than the water bottle holders on the back, and a small lip that is created when the screen is angled as far down as possible. There is no USB or power outlet to charge your phone. The overall design is just massive and there's no way to tuck this into a corner. The x32i is often compared to the Peloton tread. The Peloton is far prettier. It is sleek and minimalistic. It has a tray for walkers who might want to bring a laptop and get some work done while moving. The screen is angled straight up which is what a lot of runners prefer instead of looking down. It has better screen quality and the option to cast to a TV which is great for the floor work portions of some workouts. What the x32i has on the Peloton Tread though, apart from the obvious incline abilities, is that due to the decline option, the belt has far superior cushioning. Trust me, your knees will be able to tell the difference right away. It is the most comfortable treadmill belt I have ever experienced. The Peloton tread does not have a built-in fan, and the speed adjustments are manually adjusted, so not great for interval training. The x32i has a more powerful motor and substantially better warranty. I am keeping the x32i because the design flaws are inconveniences that I can deal with- I ordered an attachment for a water bottle holder, and set up a fan next to the treadmill. I follow Peloton programs on a TV that I set up near it and if I want to watch Netflix I'll do it on there. But these workarounds shouldn't have to be made, and in reality, I am using my own TV to compensate for a low-quality screen that is supposed to be the main selling point of this machine.

My wife and I wanted the 22" screen version, but decided on the 32" since Best Buy was able to have it to us in 2 days rather than weeks. Firstly, the good: I will say that I was skeptical at first, but my goodness, the 32" screen is absolutely awesome and really helps you feel you are there, and completely worth it if you are able to spend the extra or splurge a little. I have found myself moving around on the belt as if I am avoiding obstacles, so the wider and longer belt is great. The 40% incline is intense and awesome. The variety, availability, and continuous updates of the workouts available with iFit are awesome and keep you engaged, interested, and motivated. So, why 4 stars and not 5 (the bad)? When putting the entire unit together, I found that the mounts for the cross bar did not line up quite right, and when I finally got it together, you can see that the casing around the screen is not straight. This is not a big deal, as it does not stop the function of the screen or it's tilting ability, but at the price point you pay for the unit, you expect better QC than that. The android powered tablet (or whatever for the smartscreen hardware) that they are using is not very powerful, so you will experience lag with the unit. Again, at this price point, I feel this hardware should get a little boost aswell. Overall, I am happy with the unit. I love the big screen, and I really like iFit. It makes getting motivated to work out and working out really easy. I would definitely recommend it if you are thinking about it or are on the fence.

In love with this thing. It is not easy to get into your house, but assembly is definitely easy and will be up and running in no time. A few things to pay attention to, 1. The WiFi in this is 802.11n which is an older generation of WiFi, to best use the WiFi features have a dedicated 2.4ghz band and you won’t experience the buffering that many people complain about online. 2. This thing is HUGE and HEAVY. When it’s pushing 40% incline you will need to pay close attention to ceiling height or obstacles like a ceiling fan. There are 2 wheels on the front and a bar at the back that make moving it easier but again it is very heavy and the console is TALL so very hard to move. 3. PRICE MATCH! Best Buy’s price match policy is amazing, use it! We price matched NordicTrack directly and got the treadmill far faster than NordicTrack could have delivered it. 2 DAYS

Both my experiences with BestBuy this year have been a nightmare. The delivery of this equipment was terrible. The guys finally showed up and installed it a week later. After they installed it I noticed the stickers were peeling off, dent marks, stain marks on the machine. After a few uses, I noticed static in the sound. Then the spring came off while I was running. I'm quite skeptical at this point. Will update.

Ok, so, I don't normally write very many reviews, but this is one of those that I think needs the review. As far as the treadmill goes (forgetting the software, screen, etc) it is a nice treadmill. It is powerful, works reasonably well, has a huge incline etc. Things that are just horrible on the product. THE SOFTWARE. iFIT is crap. Nordic Track can make a treadmill, sure, but when it comes to the software, it is horrible. The entire reason for buying this is basically the huge screen and the software. So when the software sucks, it isnt worth it in my opinion. Searching for classes, let's start there. There are all kinds of ways to search. You can search by run, walk, trainer, location, length of class and a few minor other things. But lets say you want to "burn" 300-400 calories, and you want to see the workouts that are in that range. You can't do that. Lets say you want to just type like google and search, you cant do that, it is all drop downs. Searching on this thing is slow and painful. Lets say you want to assign a static IP on the android operating system, nope Lets say you want to troubleshoot why the Bluetooth hr strap doesn't work, the support docs just say "it works". Well, that is not true. Let's say you want to stream the workout using Bluetooth to headphones instead of the speakers so people don't get disturbed by the workout, nope. Lets say you want the data to sync with google or apple health. I mean, there is an iFit app. Nope. Lets say you want to plan your workouts on your phone and have them sync to the treadmill, not easy and maybe impossible. I still haven't figured that one out. Why? Because Nordic Track can't program worth their life. IF you want TECH, do not go this route. Go with something like Peloton. IF you just want a good treadmill, Nordic Track is great, but I would not recommend this model as you are paying for a screen that is pretty frustrating to use...
