| kiawi's Full Review: Smooth 9.1 Series Treadmill |
I’ve finally decided to join the fitness revolution! I have tried various forms of exercise and have realized that I really enjoy walking the best! (One day, I hope to advance to running!) The downfall to walking outdoors, however, is that the weather isn’t always cooperative! And, now that winter is on its way, some very cold days are approaching! So, instead of giving up on walking for the winter, I chose to purchase a new treadmill…the Smooth 9.1!
I ordered my treadmill online from Smoothfitness.com, back in September. Delivery was right on time! Delivery is included in the price; however, there is an extra charge for indoor delivery, which I was more than happy to pay! (The extra cost was well worth not having to move the treadmill inside, myself!)
I have discovered that the Smooth 9.1 Treadmill is great for walking! It seems to be very sturdy and stable, as well as extremely quiet! I learned that this treadmill has a pre-lubricated treadbelt, which requires little, if any, maintenance; and no adjustments are ever needed, regardless of how much use it gets! One of the features that I really like about the Smooth 9.1 is its bright red LED’s on the console for easy reading! I am able to easily monitor my speed and incline, distance traveled, length of workout, and calories burned! And, if I don’t want to look at the bright red LED’s, the panel dim feature allows me to blank it out! I can change the factory-preset programs (there are 4 of them) at any time during my workout! Besides the 4 preset programs, there are 4 end user programs with 10 segments each. And, best of all, because the Smooth 9.1 comes with Pulse Width Modulation technology, its motor runs cooler, is more powerful, and won’t overload household electrical services! (The PWM lowers amp draw by at least 50%!) As a result, the motor will last longer! In addition, the buyer may choose to add the optional heart rate control for an extra charge! Also, this treadmill comes with an impressive warranty, including a 10 year motor warranty and a
1 year in-house labor warranty.
I’ve mentioned only some of the features of the Smooth 9.1. The Smooth 9.1 Treadmill appears to be a quality machine at a reasonable price! I’ve certainly enjoyed using mine! I highly recommend this treadmill!
