| The
Smooth Treadmill reviewed.
The Smooth treadmill is manufactured by
Internet Fitness. Chances are you've heard about Smooth
due to Internet Fitness being the largest seller of retail treadmills on
the Internet. And although most of the Smooth product line is
made in Taiwan, they are one of the biggest specialty
distributors in the US.
Okay...so all of this stuff is
nice for Smooth, but what about their treadmills? What kind of
value, quality, and durability do they have? In a
word...Outstanding!
All of the Smooth treadmills are very feature heavy, like the
handrail motion control and their
patented impact absorption feature. They also have high
horsepower motors to prevent overheating, a wide variety of
incline levels, and numerous user profile settings. And unlike
most treadmills that fold up manually, the Smooth 7.1HR
treadmill and
Smooth 9.15HR treadmill models fold up with the push of a
button!
The warranty is generous with 10 years on the
motor and lifetime on the frame being standard, but parts,
labor, decks, and rollers vary from model to model, although
the top of the line Smooth 9.25X offers a lifetime warranty on
everything, with the exception of labor (1 year). Overall, the
warranty qualifies as meeting all the requirements, so there's
no extended warranty needed.
Pricing ranges between just
under $1,000 for the Smooth 5.15P to their higher end Smooth
model 9.25X priced at a little under $3,000. The most popular
models are the Smooth 5.15P and the Smooth 7.1HR. These two
treadmills not only provide you a good treadmill experience,
but they are a tremendous value priced at under $1,000 and
under $1,500 respectively.
Treadmill Doctor, one of
the leading treadmill reviewers, had this to say about the
Smooth 5.15P - "One of the best treadmills on the market for
less than a $1,000". And they rated the Smooth 7.1HR as
a "Best Buy". And there are all kinds of other home treadmill
reviewers that talk about the Smooth treadmill product line in
glowing terms. Things like "Best Treadmill Bargain", "Top 10
Treadmill", "5 Star Customer Ratings", etc.
We can't disagree with any of the other reviewers. Our
overall rating on the entire Smooth product line is a star
studded 10/10 but our personal recommendation is to stick with
either the Smooth 5.15P or the 7.1HR. This is assuming you're
interested in quality and value. If you're not in
budget mode, and simply want the best treadmill that money can
buy, then read what we have to say about the
Landis Treadmill. Otherwise, consider either the 5.15P or
7.1HR Smooth models. They're both priced right with
quality to match. And remember that the 7.1HR has the power
folding option which can be a big plus. The 5.15P will fold
also, but it folds manually.
Internet Fitness which, as we
mentioned earlier, sells the Smooth treadmill brand,
will be around for a long, long time. You don't become the
internet's number 1 retailer of treadmills by not putting out
a quality product backed by excellent service. This means that
they'll be here to stand behind your purchase.
