Extras:
Warranty - Although most treadmills under $1000 only give you 1-5 years on the motor, the C2200 comes with a lifetime motor warranty and a one year parts & labor warranty which is a huge improvement over many other economy models.
Weight Capacity - While most treadmills under $1300 have a 200-250 pound weight capacity, the C2200 has a higher 300 pound weight capacity which makes it a little more stable than similarly priced treadmills. Although this is still a little light, considering the price tag, it's good value
Lots Of Workout Options - The MyMiles™ Odometer and the Carb Counter™ help you track and meet your fitness goals. There's also 10 built in workout programs and 1-Step™ pulse sensor to help you stay in your target heart rate range. It's really hard for you to get bored with this treadmill.
DuraSoft III™ Impact Cushioning - The Durasoft cushioning system on this treadmill is fairly decent and can help reduce impact on your joints by up to 28%, as compared to road running.
Strengths:
The Nordic Track C 2200 is one of the best economy values in the Nordic Track lineup. The lifetime motor warranty tells you about the quality of the motor construction and the 1 year parts and labor is a definite improvement on the old 90 day warranties some models use to carry.
Another plus is the price - if you can get it at the sale price ($699) this treadmill is an absolute steal. You won't find a better treadmill at this price.
Weaknesses:
We would have like to see a longer parts warranty on the treadmill as well as a stronger motor power. (For the price however it's still excellent)
Also, the C2200 may have fairly good cushioning but it is still not recommended for runners or heavier users - the light motor power may not be able to support frequent, heavy use.
Overall Conclusion: Recommended
If you really love the Nordic Track name and want one of the best economy values on the market, the Nordic Track C2200 is your treadmill.
Although we would have liked to see a stronger motor power and longer parts warranty, the C2200 is still a great value for the money. At $999 it's a good buy, but if you can get it at $699 it's a steal.
Where To Buy:
You can get it at the sale price direct from the Nordic Track closeout store. This way you can save on shipping and be guaranteed to get the lowest possible price without the store mark-up.
