NordicTrack T7.0 demo walkthrough and first impressions

Depending on how much you use it, a treadmill’s belt will have different shelf life. Some expect the belt to last five years, while others think it is all about their maintenance schedule.

How long a belt will last depends on how much it gets used (hours of use), how often it’s lubed and how much the person weigh. If you’re a light user, expect the belt to last as many as eight years while a heavier user or someone that doesn’t lube might find themselves replacing it in two years. It all comes down to maintenance.
 
It is a little deceptive to see demonstrations of effortless ramp adjustment because that's how it starts, not how it will perform over time. The actuator might start stuttering at grade 6 around month 18, then you find out what's really reliable about the device.

The first time you try out a treadmill it all works great. That isn't a good indicator of how well the treadmill will work as months and years go by.
