Verdict: These products serve fundamentally different purposes—one for adjustable strength training and one for motorized running—so direct comparison is limited. The NordicTrack Commercial 1750 offers a 4.25 CHP motor, 12 MPH top speed, and 16-inch iFIT screen (per manufacturer specs) while the Bowflex SelectTech 552 provides 5-52.5 lb range replacing 15 dumbbell pairs at $429 MSRP. The treadmill wins on features and current status but at over five times the price.

Bowflex SelectTech 552 lists at $429 while NordicTrack Commercial 1750 lists at $2,299 — Bowflex SelectTech 552 undercuts NordicTrack Commercial 1750 by $1,870 (436%).
