NordicTrack E 4400

At this price range NordicTrack has some serious competition, including Smooth, Sole, Spirit and PaceMaster. All offer larger motors and better warranties. Some even include wireless heart rate control.

When you match up the specs on this models it just doesn't hold up to others. And you can't try to make it sound like a better value by hyping up typical features with patented names like Solaris™ Illumination Console, Reflex Deck™ Technology and AutoBreeze™ Fans. Give me a break, it's just a cheap $5 fan.

NordicTrack E 4400 Warranty

For the price NordicTrack could have done better with their warranty. Although the lifetime warranty on the motor is impressive, the one year parts and labor is below average at this price range. You'll find the comparable Sole F80 treadmill comes with a five year parts and two year labor warranty.

Our Review - E 4400 Treadmill

We agree with the Doc and conclude that this treadmill is overpriced. Which surprises us because in general Icon builds treadmills that have more features for less money.

The original NordicTrack company went out of business and Icon bought the rights to the name. Icon sells ProForm, Reebok, Weslo, Image and more. They dominate the low end market with bulky treadmill and slick features at the sacrifice of the important components like motors, lower boards and belts. The NordicTrack is their high-end treadmills with extended warranties.

Customer Rating Nordic Track E 4100 x (Similar to the 4400)

3 stars out of 5 by one reviewer.

Comments

Pros: belt cushioning system; engine; fans; quality & workmanship

Cons: unimaginative programming; curcuitry for heartbeat sensors has to be bought and installed extra

The Bottom Line:

Excellent hardware, badly utilized. Could have been so much more ... However: in the end my knees say my next treadmill will again be a NordicTrack.
