NordicTrack T6.5 Si Treadmill Review

How long will the NordicTrack T6.5 Si last?

Suited for walkers and light joggers, the NordicTrack T 6.5 Si folding treadmill offers space saving options and comes with a decent 203 lb. assembled weight. The T 6.5 Si has a compact build with a 6” footprint and is rated to hold users up to a 300 lb. capacity and is built to last despite its low warranty offerings. It is designed more towards those who enjoy walking and will last through multiple workout sessions for several years with proper care and maintenance. Icon offers 10 years of frame warranty, 2 years on parts, and 1 year on labor which is rather low in a market that encompasses models with lifetime guarantees.

Brief Overview

The NordicTrack T 6.5 Si folding treadmill is a decent starting treadmill choice for those looking to start on the path to optimal fitness health. The T6.5 Si comes with a 30-day free membership to the iFit network while a continued iFit paid subscription keeps users of all levels engaged through various elite trainer workouts and the ability to travel the world from the comfort of your own home. It is a basic treadmill that will allow many fitness fans the ability to start their fitness journey and enjoy a bit of entertainment at the same time.

Overall Quality

The NordicTrack T 6.5 Si folding treadmill has a new lower price to appeal to the more budget-conscious purchasers. It has a 2.6 HP motor that allows maximum speeds of up to 10 MPH which is more than fast enough for most power walkers but it does not encourage long strides on the 20” x 55” running area. There is a 10% incline feature that allows users the ability to elevate their workout sessions or be automatically adjusted by trainers through the iFit subscription during exercise time while built in cushioning allows the choice of a real world feel to running or dampeners to lesson the impact of painful strides. The NordicTrack T 6.5 Si folding treadmill has a rather disappointing 5” screen though thankfully technology allows users to pair their own streaming devices through WIFI capabilities to be able to see what is going on at any given time. The console also offers built in programs along with an auxiliary port and integrated speakers for entertainment options if users choose not to utilize the iFit optional subscription.
