NordicTrack Commercial 1750 vs Sole F80
Which should you buy? Our verdict on both, pulled from our full The Best Treadmills: 4 Compared (and One to Skip) comparison.
The NordicTrack Commercial 1750 wins as the most complete machine, pairing a strong motor and wide deck with the rare gift of true decline training and a big streaming screen. The Sole F80 is the pick if you value raw durability, a subscription-free screen, and lifetime frame and motor coverage.
NordicTrack Commercial 1750
Buy itThe most complete all-rounder: strong motor, big swiveling screen, and the rare ability to run downhill as well as up.
- Powerful motor and a wide 22-inch deck that stays stable for long runs and heavier users
- Decline as well as incline, which almost no rival at this price offers
- Large swiveling touchscreen now streams mainstream video apps alongside its own guided workouts
- Full guided experience leans on a paid subscription to shine
- Heavy and long even folded, and independent testing noted more speed dip under load than the smoothest rivals
Sole F80
Buy itA tank of a runner's treadmill with lifetime frame and motor coverage and a free companion app with no monthly subscription.
- Brushless 3.25 HP motor, 20 x 60 inch deck, 0 to 15 percent incline and a 350 lb weight capacity, on a frame that folds upright and rolls away
- Owners report it holds up over years
- 10.1-inch touchscreen with screen mirroring and the free SOLE+ app, no mandatory monthly fee
- Cushioned deck that Sole describes as road-like, plus lifetime frame and motor coverage
- Incline only, no decline
- The built-in screen and software feel more basic than the class-leading guided platforms
