Summary:

The Nautilus T616 2018 and 2014 Treadmills offer great value for money with their high-quality build and host of features not typically found on treadmills at these competitive price-points.
I think the all-black finish of the 2018 model gives the treadmill a sleeker-look but really the difference in the color of each treadmill comes down to personal taste!  The addition of an accessories storage rack on the 2018 model is useful and the slightly redesigned console has a few larger buttons that make it easier to use.  If you’re not bothered about these little differences, then you may still be able to pick up the 2014 T616 treadmill at a bargain price while it’s still available!



N.B.  It’s always advisable to consult your doctor or health care professional before undertaking any new exercise regime.
