NordicTrack C 2300 Treadmill Review

The Nordic Track C2300 is another of the countless Icon products. Icon is the world's largest treadmill manufacturer, and sells under brand names like ProForm, Weslo and Reebok.

The Nordic Track C2300 treadmill is a typical Icon design. The emphasis is on the packaging, while compromising on components and quality engineering. It works, no other manufacturer comes close in total sales.

The C2300 is equipped with a 2.5 continuous duty horsepower motor. They claim it is commercial grade. Get real. At high speeds it tends to strain.

The belt is a decent length at 55". Should accommodate most average size users. It comes wit a DuraSoft Impact Reducing Cushioning. You move yellow handles up or down the bottom of the deck to increase or decrease the shock absorption. First, I found it extremely hard to move these handles, second I couldn't tell the difference.

Incline goes to 12%, while the speed tops out at 10 mph. The console has a good design that is simple and logical. There are one touch buttons to reach different speeds and inclines. You don't have to scroll/.

You get a lifetime warranty on the motor, which suggests it should last. However, you only get a 1 year parts and labor warranty. Says something about the rest of the components.

The C2300 sells from $999 - $1,299. Sears had it at $999, and their delivery charge was fairly reasonable. Save yourself some back breaking pain and have it delivered.

Fitness Source C2300 Review

At the $1,000+ range there are better values, including Smooth and Sole. Each has longer warranties. NordicTrack does build some good high-end treadmills, but their budget treadmills are potential trouble down the road.
