NordicTrack C2255 review highlights

Overall, owners and experts are pleased with the NordicTrack C2255. Although we read a few complaints about low-quality parts, most say the NordicTrack C2225 is a decent value. Its 20" belt is nice and wide, but not particularly long (55"). The NordicTrack C2255 has a high 300-pound weight limit and numerous workout options. Owners are generally very pleased with this treadmill, with the caveat that they seem to use it mostly for walking or jogging and not for hardcore running.

We found only one objective review of the NordicTrack C2255 by an expert source: TreadmillDoctor.com. This website doesn't sell the treadmills it reviews, which makes it especially credible. Another specialty site, TreadmillReview.net, lists the pros and cons of this machine, but the write-up seems intended to steer readers to Smooth treadmills. Finally, we consulted Sears.com, where a few dozen owners post their experiences with the NordicTrack C2255 treadmill.
