Critics & buyers

What reviewers say
Distilled from the video reviewers — the score, what they praise, where they push back.?
Reviewers praise
- Motor speed response is faster than competing treadmills, making interval training feel nearly instantaneous
- 4.25 CHP motor carries a lifetime warranty and handles sustained heavy use from multiple runners
- Deck cushioning is among the softest tested, reducing joint impact noticeably compared to firmer rivals
Reviewers push back
- Folding the deck requires lifting roughly 45-50 lbs, which is harder than previous versions and impractical for many users
- Almost all programming is locked behind a paid subscription; manual mode is the only free option
- Screen glare is noticeable, particularly on dark-mode backgrounds
Reviewers broadly agree the NordicTrack Commercial 2450 is one of the strongest folding treadmills available, praising its powerful motor, unusually fast speed response, large deck, and high-quality touchscreen, while noting the demanding fold weight, glare on the screen, and subscription dependence as real drawbacks.
Reviewers disagree on how meaningful 14 mph top speed is: some see it as a genuine asset for fast runners and interval agility, while others consider it irrelevant for the vast majority of users
