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.
I do want to mention, however, that if you are into intense running, this machine may not be for you. You may want to take a look at machines that have more powerful motors. The Smooth 6.45 would be an excellent upgrade. It has a powerful motor and is built with runners in mind.
One thing I really like about the Smooth 5.45 treadmill that really makes it stand out from its competition is its high-tech shock absorption deck. Users report that there is a big difference between the absorption decks on this machine than on other machines. Having such a cushion under your steps means you can walk longer without stressing out your joints and knees. This also makes the Smooth 5.45 ideal for someone who has back problems.
Another change that was made to the Smooth 5.45 treadmill was the extension of the deck. Smooth Fitness heard what tall users had to say about the deck on the 5.25 and worked to make its replacement more accommodating for long-limbed users. The weight of the Smooth 5.45 was also increased for added stability. It weighs 210 pounds-20 pounds heavier than the old model. This machine isn’t going anywhere, no matter how much of a pounding you give it. Yet, please note that this machine should be set up wherever it will be permanently because it’s not easy to move!
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.
