Strengths:
7" Flat Screen TV with Multi-Colored Displays - You can watch TV and view your workout display at the same time (or just choose to watch TV). When the TV is not on, the screen displays all of your workout displays, plus a multi-color intensity profile, showing your workout intensity.
While the screen is on the small side, a built-in TV is hard to find at this price point. If you like watching TV while working out, you'll probably love this feature.
iPod/Mp3 Hookup with Intermix Acoustics™ Sound System - You can plug your iPod or MP3 player into the built-in audio jack and listen to your favorite music or audiobooks while you workout. This is another popular feature to have that can spice up your workout.
35 Built-In Workouts - You get a lot of options with this treadmill including 15 personal trainer workouts. These automatically adjust the incline and speed of your treadmill, depending on your goal - aerobic, weight loss or performance.
You also get 4 heart rate workouts that help you stay in your target heart rate zone by increasing or lowering the speed when you need to raise or lower your heart rate.
You can also create and customize up to 4 workouts for future use. There are also 8 weight loss workouts and 4 distance workouts.
Durasoft Adjustable™ Cushioning - This cushioning system reduces impact on your joints by up to 28%, as compared to road running.
Weaknesses:
The TV is on the smaller side, however at this price point you probably won't find one any bigger.
We would also have liked a longer parts warranty - especially considering the built-in TV. However you can buy extra coverage on checkout.
Overall Conclusion:
If you're looking for a TV treadmill under $1500, the Nordic Track 4200 treadmill is a very popular buy. Plus there's an iPod/Mp3 hookup with built in speakers for even more fitness entertainment.
Even if you took away the TV, the treadmill still has a lot of excellent features: you get a strong 3.25 HP motor, extra long 60" belt, lots of workout options (35), wireless heart rate monitoring, adjustable cushioning and even a built in workout fan.
Overall a good value at this price point.
It has a 7" built in TV with sound system. Plus it also offers a strong 3.25 HP motor power, 350 pound weight capacity, 35 built in workout programs and an extra long 60" belt.
