The Nordic Track C2050 is a great little budget entry from Nordic Track with some excellent workout enhancing and tracking features.
The 12% incline is higher than most entry level treadmills and the console is bright and easy to read. Plus you get a range of workout tracking tools like carb counters, miles trackers and iFit compatility to help you get maximum use from your treadmill.
Is it a good buy for you? Here's a quick review of the NordicTrack C2050 treadmill to help you decide:
Quick Stats:
Price: $899 (Regular $999)
Motor: 1.75 HP
Speed: 0 -10 MPH
Incline: 0-12%
Treadbelt: 20 x 55"
Strengths:
Warranty - Although Nordic Track usually offers 3 years on the motor, the C2050 comes with a lifetime motor warranty and a one year parts & labor warranty which is a big step up.
Caution Note: If you're buying this treadmill second-hand, NordicTrack will not honor the warranty. (Most brands do not honor the warranty on a second buyer)
Weight Capacity - While most economy treadmills have a 200-250 pound weight capacity, the NordicTrack C2050 has a high 300 pound weight capacity which makes it suitable for larger individuals who want to work out.
Workout Options - The Solaris™ console is the latest in control panel technology, illuminating the displays you need at each stage of your workout, and hiding the rest to help keep your exercise simple.
The MyMiles™ Odometer and the Carb Counter™ help you track and meet your fitness goals. The C2050 is also iFit compatible which gives you a range of downloadable workout program options. It's hard to get bored with this treadmill.
Overall Conclusion:
If you like the Nordic Track name and you're on a budget, the C2050 is a decent option. The motor power is a bit low and the belt is on the shorter side. However compared to similarly priced store options, the C2050 generally offers you more options for the money.
Because of the lower motor power, smaller belt size and limited cushioning however, it's not the best treadmill for runners or multiple-use households.
