So, make sure you ask for the...

Cons: Much noisier at higher speeds. Belt curls a bit. Needs room.

There are better treadmills out there and there are worse. So where does that leave the EXP1000? Right in the middle where you can feel good about your purchase while getting a very good workout.

The EXP1000 can take a beating. I have run on...

Although my wife is used to commercial-grade units, she found the NordicTrack to be quite comfortable.

Unfortunately, the rear end...

Cons: Heavy, doesn't roll well, and has some internal vibrations that are noisy

Cons: the motor and belt keep breaking down. To repair my machine takes along time.

Pros: Large belt surface for the price.
Cons: Major design flaw and poor construction.
