In this comparison review of the NordicTrack Commercial 1750 and Sole F85, we go over the similarities and differences between these two popular treadmills. They have some similarities such as the price, which you can check in the link above, and the streamlined designs. We recommend both machines for running and heavier use. They’re great if you have multiple users in your household or if you are a distance runner.
The 1750 and F85 both have folding decks that save a lot of space when you’re not using them. They also both go up to 12 mph which offers plenty of speed for walking, jogging, and running for most.
While they have similar designs and functionality, they do differ a bit. They both have touch screens, however, the NordicTrack 1750’s screen is very adjustable, while the F85 doesn’t adjust and can be hard to reach and use while running. The 1750 comes enabled with iFit for access to thousands of guided workouts filmed indoors and out. iFit requires a subscription to use. The F85 comes with onboard workout programs and 12 preloaded streaming apps like Netflix. You can also stream content from your device.
As far as our recommendation, we love both of these treadmills. They’re both on our best treadmills list and are some of the top models we recommend. We recommend the NordicTrack 1750 to most people because of its soft deck cushioning and how interactive it is to use with a subscription to iFit. The Sole F85 is great if you don’t want to use subscription training content and need a treadmill with a higher weight limit of 375 lbs. The F85 is also great for road runners looking to simulate the experience of running outside on concrete on their treadmill because of the firm deck cushioning.
No matter which treadmill you choose though, you’re taking home a thoughtfully-designed, well-constructed, quiet treadmill for running.

Great job at your comparisons. The best ive seen. Nordic is my pick. Just wish they had 3rd party apps available.

[@TreadmillReviewGuru]

Thanks! Yes, we wish that, too.

[@empoweredlifebydesign267]

Great review! One question, can i stream netflix or other apps without using ifit, or would i be locked in to ifit for life on the 1750?

[@adamdavis7038]

Thanks! Pretty persuasive toward the NordicTrack and the current price difference would pay for several months of iFit. Do you know yet if there's any benefit to the new F89 over the F85 aside from screen size?

[@TreadmillReviewGuru]

Thanks for watching! So far the biggest difference is the screen size, other than that, from we've been able to tell, it's pretty much the same treadmill as the TT8, just foldable and a larger screen. Let us know if you have any other questions there! We also wrote up our initial thoughts on the F89 if you want to check it out. www.treadmillreviewguru.com/sole-f89-treadmill-review/

I wish the Sole had better cushioning! That's the one I would like to purchase it is wasn't for that flaw.

[@stephendeleon221]

I agree for me the cushioning is the number 1 factor. If only nordic allowed 3rd party apps it would be the absolute best

[@michaelstaudaher3308]

The incline at 0% (according to the treadmill) for the F85 is really at 1-2%. I recently returned a Sole F85 because of this issue. The NordicTrack treadmills are flat when set to 0%. Do you ever measure or report this parameter for treadmills you review? That is, what is the actual incline when the treadmill says it is 0%?

[@JoeCnNd]

Curiosity, do you think it could have been the rear feet weren't put down far enough?

[@michaelstaudaher3308]

No, the rear feet are fixed and not adjustable. I finally heard back from Sole and they said that their treadmills have a 1% incline when the machine says 0% to help the motor. I measured the one I had at 2% and it was noticeable when running.

[@JoeCnNd]

@@michaelstaudaher3308 Thanks, I was looking into them, but not sure I want to deal with that.

[@Gustaf-Wasa]

rather SOLE F85 because of the lifetime warranty on frame and motor.

[@TreadmillReviewGuru]

That lifetime warranty is hard to beat!

[@paulbee4803]

NordicTrack is just not reliable, to many cheap parts, and warranty along with customer service is a nightmare. Better off donating your 3k than buying a NordicTrack.
