Beware!! Sent a USED treadmill after spending over 2000k!!
Beware! NordicTrack sent me a USED treadmill after paying over 2000k 😡.
I have sent this email below to NordicTrack customer service and have received little to no help. I am beyond upset with the quality of my treadmill after buying from a company that brags about how top-of-the-line their products are:
I purchased your Incline Trainer x11i Treadmill on August 3, 2020. When I received my order, I noticed a couple of odd things about my treadmill. First, there were many scuff marks, scrapes, and dings all over it. Second, I noticed that a lot of the treadmill was previously assembled before shipping to me. In the manual, it shows how to assemble the whole top part of the treadmill (screen console and poles holding console to treadmill etc) but it already came assembled. After further inspection, I noticed that the latches holding the screws in place on the back of the treadmill were broken and one of the screws was previously altered by some one else that screwed it on way too tightly. Also, the logo on the console is missing the “k” in NordicTrack.
I spoke with NordicTrack in September to receive new parts and I haven’t received all of the parts yet.
Another issue is that since day 1, the screen doesn’t register my incline correctly. In the middle of my workout, it will think that I’m either at a 40% incline or a 6% decline and it ruins my workout statistics. I have gone into settings and calibrated the machine time and time again and even though it shows “calibration successful” the incline still messes up halfway through my workout. I have spent way too much time on the phone with customer service trying to resolve the issue and nothing has worked. When I asked the representative if I was sent a “used” treadmill, she would not give me an answer.
I have also had issues with the internal system when turning on the machine. When I turn on the machine, the screen is a mix of colorful geometric patterns. It shows a setting button and a button that shows a handful of desktop icons (iFit being one of them). If it doesn’t boot up on its own after that screen then I have to click the iFit desktop icon. The heart rate monitor also gives me issues. It is worn exactly how and where it needs to be worn but won’t register my heart rate until the end of the workout.
Now, the newest issue I’m having with this machine is the belt stopped working. I had to stop my workout halfway because the incline was messing up (again) and recalibrate the machine. After recalibration, I began my workout again only to discover that the belt did not want to move.
I have been convinced since day 1 of receiving my machine that I was sent a USED treadmill. There is a reason why I chose to buy my treadmill from NordicTrack and not from Walmart or Amazon, for example. Now, I am starting to doubt how reputable your company is and how great your product really is. I should not have received a treadmill in the condition that this one is in. The replacement parts have not solved the issue as there are clearly way more problems with my treadmill. I am baffled that I was sent a used treadmill after paying over $2000 for it. To this day, I am being sent random parts and what I need is a new treadmill.
I have a whole album of photos depicting each and every thing that has been wrong with my treadmill since receiving it.
