NordicTrack C 1750 vs. Nordictrack Elite 9500 Pro

While the online stores have leveled up the retailing playing field for some manufacturers, many customers are still making their purchases offline. These variations of products are not making customers’ life any easier. Such as the case of NordicTrack Commercial 1750 and NordicTrack Elite 9500 Pro. In a glance, these two product looks similar, but there are differences between them. Let’s compare the two head to head to see which one is the perfect one for you.
Sometimes, releasing more or less similar items with slight differences using different code names is a common practice among consumer products manufacturers. One of the most obvious reasons behind this move is to keep a good relationship with the retailers. Many major retailers want exclusivity; they don’t want to have any competitor selling similar products with better price. Since many manufacturers rely heavily on the retailers to sell their products, many have to play the retailers’ game.

The Similarities

The Differences

However, the price gap is justified by the dimension. The 1750 model is bigger at 81 x 36 x 69 inches (L x W x H), while the 9500 model is smaller at 79 x 37 x 71 inches (L x W x H). But both have similar stride area of 1320 sq in, it means that the 9500 model is slightly cramped.

NordicTrack Elite 9500 Pro doesn’t have external tablet holder and tablet syncing capability, nor the ability to save workouts like NordicTrack 1750 does (up to 30 workouts).

The 1750 model has the bigger maximum weight capacity of 400 pounds compared to the 9500 model that can only hold up the maximum of 375 pounds.

But other than these minuscule differences, both machines are practically the same.

Which one should you choose?

Looking at the almost non-existent differences, you’ll do fine with either of the machines. Should you decide between the two, the factors that you should consider is the budget, the dimension, and the maximum weight capacity.

If you have a smaller budget, less storage space, smaller built, and you don’t need the extra external tablet holder and tablet syncing capability; you might consider NordicTrack Elite 9500 Pro. But if you can find a good deal for NordicTrack Commercial 1750 with small differences or similar pricing, why don’t you go with NordicTrack Commercial 1750? You’ll get more features to go with your exercises.
