The best expert review of the NordicTrack C2155 treadmill comes from TreadmillDoctor.com, which has short, useful entries on a wide range of models. Reviews at Treadmill-Ratings-Reviews.com, TreadmillTips.com, TreadmillTalk.com and TreadmillReview.net don't have the scope or authority of TreadmillDoctor.com, but their reviews of the NordicTrack C2155 include more details about the treadmill's features. Prevention magazine is a credible source for fitness information, but its review of the C2155 is extremely brief.
When it was a current model, experts recommended the NordicTrack C2155 as a good under-$800 treadmill for walkers and joggers. Reviewers say this budget treadmill includes several nice extras for the price, including an MP3 dock and speakers, adjustable shock absorption and the ability to deliver iFit audio-coached workouts (available on separate cards for an extra cost). However, there are some complaints that the included heart rate monitor doesn't give accurate readings, and experts say the stated 300-pound weight limit should actually be more like 225 pounds. A new model with similar features, the NordicTrack T7 si (*est. $800), draws many of the same criticisms. Reviews instead steer walkers and joggers toward the Sole F63 (*est. $1,000), which has a longer parts warranty and a more powerful motor than the NordicTrack models.
