Smooth 5.45 Treadmill Review: Best Buy Under $1,000
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.
You probably know that a treadmill is really only as good as the motor that is in it. The motor on the Smooth 5.45 is exactly like the Smooth 5.25. It is a 2.5 continuous duty motor that is very quiet and smooth. Users rave about the motor and claim they can workout anytime they want because it is so quiet.
The only thing I would like to point out is the Smooth 5.45′s motor is best for people who will be walking or lightly jogging. Intense runners may find the motor on the Smooth 5.45 treadmill isn’t powerful enough for them. If you are a runner, you may want to opt for the Smooth 6.45. It has a more powerful motor and can handle the pounding of 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.
A welcome upgrade from the 5.25 to the Smooth 5.45 was the deck. It was extended to make it more accommodating and comfortable for long-limbed individuals. Also, the durability and the stability of this machine was improved. The Smooth 5.45 treadmill weighs in at 210 pounds, which is 20 pounds heavier than the previous model. No matter how much of a pounding you give this machine, she isn’t going anywhere. Please keep in mind that this machine is rather difficult to move around so make sure you set it up where you think you’ll want it permanently!
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.
