$75 for any new treadmill, especially a $2200+ treadmill is a steal and a no-brainer.

Real comments from Reddit, linked to the original thread. Nothing paraphrased.
I bought one new in 2022- love it use it all the time. The training has been amazing I have learned so much in 2 years. Way more than in 30 years previously trying to repeat what I learned from high school coaching.
Praise
I wouldn't suggest Proform Pro 9000 or Nordictrack 1250. They are the same company and have maximum customer complaints and unsatisfied customers
Complaint
I did contact iFIT this morning, they confirmed they are extra pieces and not required. Said they are levelers if the floor is uneven.
Mention
But d***, he had a tricky time. I'm finding that when going on speeds higher then a 4, it's pretty loud and makes a different noise then just feet hitting the tread.
Complaint
I'm finding these belts and decks are only good for a year or two for runners or 2 to 4 years for a walker.
Complaint
We're actually exchanging ours as it makes kind of a loud wining noise when we walk on it.
Complaint
Using his videos I was able to install Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Plex on the Pro 9000. Hulu and Disney+ would error out when playing videos no matter what APK I loaded.
Mention
The company builds it with only 2GB of ram 😞. I have iFit, Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, Chrome browser, and a couple smaller ones, but that's about it.
Complaint
Yes, it's tricky to get it all lined up. Especially the screen mount. Took forever to get it locked down. What seemed to work was partially screwing in everything before tightening them completely.
Complaint
I just got mine yesterday and I am trying to install the cross bar. Did you have issues with the screws not fitting into the holes? the screws are not going down flush to the cross bar, they stick up quite a bit.
Complaint
This looks like the belt from my first treadmill. A service tech at the time recommended that I lubricate the deck every 3-6 months which I now do and have not had a belt wear out like this since.

✅ What Works
- iFit training content gets real praise from long-term users ("learned so much in 2 years")
- Belt holds up well with basic maintenance like periodic lubrication
⚠️ Worth Knowing
- Assembly is repeatedly described as fiddly, with misaligned screws and a tricky screen mount
- Runs noticeably loud at higher speeds
- Onboard tablet's 2GB RAM struggles to run multiple streaming apps
- Owners describe Proform/NordicTrack as having high customer complaint volume
ClearPick Verdict
Owners are split on this treadmill, but complaints outnumber praise across the mentions we found (7 of 12 negative). Assembly comes up repeatedly as a pain point — screws "not going down flush," a screen mount that "took forever to get it locked down" — and one owner flags it running "pretty loud" past speed 4. The onboard tablet's 2GB of RAM is called out as a real limitation for running iFit alongside streaming apps, and one thread bluntly states Proform/NordicTrack (same company) have "maximum customer complaints and unsatisfied customers." That said, long-time iFit users do report genuine satisfaction with the training content once the machine is set up. This is a reasonable pick if you mainly want iFit's coaching and can tolerate a fussy assembly and occasional noise, but pass if smooth setup and snappy onboard tech matter to you.
