Before you spend money on a folding treadmill for the home, be sure to take a look at the Smooth 5.45 treadmill by Smooth Fitness. It is an excellent treadmill with an excellent price of just under $1000. This machine is a remake, or an upgrade, of the Smooth 5.25 treadmill. The upgrades on this machine were made primarily due to customer response. The 5.25 always stayed on top of the “best buy” list because of user reviews, but Smooth Fitness truly wanted to make a machine that met all of their customers’ needs.
After shopping around for treadmills, many people are curious how Smooth Fitness can offer a machine like the 5.45 at such an economical price. The answer really isn’t difficult. Smooth Fitness only sells their machines online. By cutting out the middlemen and retailers, they can bring these savings to consumers and offer high-end machines at affordable prices.
Smooth Fitness knows that a machine is only as good as the motor that is inside of it. The Smooth 5.45 has a quiet, smooth, 2.5 continuous duty motor that is ideal for people who walk or lightly jog. People who have this machine report that the motor is so quiet they can use it anytime of the night or day without disturbing everyone around them. This is great for moms of small children who may be napping or going to be early.
Yet, let me say that if you are into running, this machine might not be the one for you. You may want to look at machines that are made more for runners. One that comes to mind is the Smooth 6.45. It has a more powerful motor and is better suited for intense running.
Most everyone who has used the Smooth 5.45 treadmill comments on its high tech shock absorption deck. They report that there is a very noticeable difference between the deck on the 5.45 and other machines-or outside walking surfaces. Users love this machine. People with knee, joint, or back problems are reporting that it is an ideal machine for them and they are able to walk longer on it.
Smooth Fitness really listened to what consumers had to say about the Smooth 5.25 treadmill. Many tall people reported that the deck wasn’t quite large enough to accommodate their long limbs. The company listened and extended the deck for the Smooth 5.45 treadmill. The new model also increased in weight for added stability. The Smooth 5.45 weighs 210 pounds-20 pounds more than the old model. This machine is incredibly durable and stable. With that said, just make sure that if you purchase this machine that you have it delivered and set up where you want it to be because it won’t be easy to move around!
Smooth Fitness is known to have the best warranties in the business. The Smooth 5.45 treadmill comes with a lifetime warranty on the motor, a 3 year parts warranty, and a one year warranty on labor/service. This low-maintenance folding treadmill ranks well above its peers-and for good reason. Smooth Fitness has truly outdone itself when they created the Smooth 5.45 and it certainly is a “best buy.
