Good points

• features a larger belt than most treadmills at this price
• though the iFit Live module is not included, this treadmill is compatible with it so for about $1000 ($800 sale price + $50 module + $120/yr subscription), you can get an iFit Live ready treadmill
• it's a new 2010 model

Bad points

• we would have liked to see a motor with a slightly higher horsepower rating
• incline only goes up to 10% instead of 12% or 15%

Comments

• At the time of review, the Proform XP 690T is as good as any other treadmill by Proform or Nordictrack that has a sale price of about $800. But herein lies the problem. Though it's as good as any of the others, it doesn't have anything the differentiates itself from the pack. The belt at 60" is a good touch but many people get along fine with 55". iFit Live is supported but not included so if you decide to add it, it'll cost you another $170 which would run the total cost close to $1000. So though we recommend this treadmill, you should also look at the other similarly priced treadmills as well.
