What customers say about "Key Specs"
NordicTrack C 990 Treadmill
  • A one-touch button lets you easily adjust incline from 0% up to 12%. This feature can help dramatically increase calorie burn and tone targeted muscle groups.
  • I'm a bigger guy and the shock absorbing deck is excellent!! Assembling it was cake. My wife and I knocked it out in no time.
  • The treadmill itself works great. The speed and incline controls are easy to use and the motor feels really powerful.
  • The controls are also situated in a perfect place to easily adjust speed or incline as necessary.
  • Treadmill makes noise during incline after week workouts.
ProForm Power 995i (PFTL99715) Exercise Treadmill
  • As far as working as a treadmill, it works just fine. I goes when you press run and stops when you press stop.
  • Soft landing, and quick set buttons are easy to set incline and speeds.
  • Without even reading the instructions for use, it was easy to figure out how to start it, increase speed, decrease speed, adjust incline and stop the treadmill.
  • 15% incline did not maintain its speed. I put it on 1mph, and suddenly I was sprinting. Same for any other speed on any other incline.
  • It does take a long time to assemble. Be prepared. Worse than IKEA stuff!

What customers say about "Design"
NordicTrack C 990 Treadmill
  • This treadmill provides a nice amount of grip and has adjustable cushioning.
  • FlexSelect cushioning is an on/off feature. Turn the cushioning on to get excellent joint protection. Turn it off to simulate outdoor conditions.
  • Really sturdy treadmill. I can run and it doesn’t shake or make a lot of noice.
  • I can't use my tablet computer with my workout because the tablet computer holder isn’t at eye level.
  • Motor is already having issues after one year of normal use.
ProForm Power 995i (PFTL99715) Exercise Treadmill
  • Very quiet motor operation so i can watch TV or different videos from YouTube when i run on it.
  • I really like the treadmill. I especially like that the cushioning while you are running is excellent.
  • We've been using the treadmill for a week and it works smoothly. It's a pretty quiet treadmill - but if you're running on it you'll probably hear the thump of feet quite loudly.
  • Cushioning anti-shock technology significantly minimizes the injury and stress risk to your body.
  • After the 3rd month the motor started to make a clicking sound much like a deck of card pined to the back of a bicycle wheel, the higher the speed the louder it clicked.

What customers say about "Features"
NordicTrack C 990 Treadmill
  • The NordicTrack C 990 has a diverse array of 32 workout applications. You can work on speed, endurance, and weight loss goals with programs that are customized to your fitness level.
  • The C 990 includes an InterMix Acoustics sound system with 3″ speakers. A smartphone-compatible music port lets you stream MP3s directly through the treadmill’s console.
  • This doesn't even have onboard basic training like hill training, interval training etc. There is only one manual mode where you can decide everything like pace, incline.
  • The treadmill is unusable if the computer malfunctions.
  • Fan is noisy. Would be nicer if you could aim the fan or turn off it.
ProForm Power 995i (PFTL99715) Exercise Treadmill
  • The 30 preset workouts give you the opportunity to change up your workout every day of the month.
  • I have used an audio cable to run the sound from my tv through the treadmill speakers and that work great.
  • The speakers are loud enough to easily drown out the sound of the motor.
  • There are many programs, but you don't have instructions and you have no idea how to use and what they do.
  • The darn fan is loud! I use a stand fan when I want to watch TV.
  • IFIT does not work. This was a huge disappointment for me, I wanted sync with my ipad and use ifit.
