Pros: Excellent motion, electric ramp adjustment allows for operation while in motion, and multiple resistance settings.
Cons: May fall apart while you're using it. Poor quality manufacturing, badly broken service organization.
Summary: I got my Nordictrack 980 about a year and a half ago. I particularly liked the ease of motion on it, there is no significant jerkiness to the exercise like I had noted on some other models. It has a number of very nice features. The most important ... read more

Pros: Great Features
Cons: Needed repair when shipped
Summary: I have had my NordicTrack CXT980 for about 3 years now. It arrived in a box with a large hole in it with tape over the whole. I supposed that it could have been damaged by a forklift by the size of the hole, and that the damage occurred during shipping. ... read more

Pros: It works, for a while.
Cons: Poor quality and durability.
Summary: I bought the CXT980 from Sears back in 2003. To be honest, I didn't do much research on the product, as I assumed the brand and price tag to mean something in terms of quality and durability. Unfortunately, this was an $800 mistake I learned the hard ... read more

Pros: Quiet
Well Constructed
Intuitive controls
Almost instant Spindown
Comfortable
Fantastic power incline
DirectAC plug
Cons: Would prefer ear clip heart rate sensor to optional chest unit

Pros: Electrical control of tension and ramp. Wheels on bottom. Upper & Lower Body workout
Cons: Noisy when using machine but easily fixable by oiling the machine.
Summary: I did a lot of research before purchasing my NordicTrac. This machine is definitely the best bang for your buck. I work out at the gym regularly and love the Precor ellipticals they have there. However, if you're thinking about buying one of those

Pros: Low impact workout
Cons: Faulty electronics, not all features work as advertised.

Pros: The elliptical runner looks very sharp although it is not as nice as it appears.
Cons: This product is of poor quality and will not satisfy anyone's training needs.
Summary: Well I bought a pair of these and I can say they are not both having the same problem but each one has it's own peculiar problem. One makes a major noise and we have tried replacing parts but nothing has worked. The other one foot lifts up and even thou
