Nautilus warranty for cardio machines
The short version
Nautilus doesn't cover everything, but keeps frame and mechanical parts and electronics covered to 10 years. That full coverage is the same as most of the 19 brands we compared, which typically cover nothing in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.
From Nautilus's published warranty, checked October 2026.
