| evettethree's Full Review: Smooth 9.2 Series Treadmill |
A little over a year ago, I gave birth to a lovely baby daughter! Unfortunately, however, I gained a lot of weight during my pregnancy, and I still looked pregnant after the baby was born! I hated looking at myself in the mirror! I was very self-conscious about going out in public, because I was so out of shape!
After a great deal of pleading and convincing words, I finally persuaded my husband to begin shopping for a treadmill. It made sense! It was winter! It was cold! And, having a new baby to care for, a treadmill in the home would be more convenient than going to a gym or running outdoors! (Of course, I had to convince my husband that I really DID intend to use the treadmill for walking and running…to get back into shape!) Besides, HE could use the treadmill, too! I didn’t mind sharing!
So, we began our tedious task of trying to find the treadmill that would be perfect for the two of us! I can’t even begin to tell you how many retail stores we visited during our search! We heard sales pitch after sales pitch…We saw treadmill after treadmill and tried out a few of the treadmills that we saw. We came across some treadmills that seemed really nice; however, we didn’t like the price that the retail stores were asking for them!
A friend suggested we do some online shopping. We were a bit hesitant, since we wouldn’t be seeing the treadmills in person! Still, we gave it a try! We found the website for Smooth Treadmills, checked out some of their treadmills, and decided to talk to a salesperson about the Smooth 9.2. The salesperson was very courteous, very patient, and very helpful. In the end, we were sold on the 9.2! We’ve had ours for almost a year, now, and I’m very pleased with it!
A few of the features of the Smooth 9.2 that sold us on it include its 3 HP continuous duty motor (one of the best that money can buy and very quiet!); its aeropedic belt (this belt is softer to the feet and joints than many other treadmill belts, and it makes for low-impact running and definitely better comfort!); its 2 ½” rollers (the larger rollers prevent the belt from slipping, allowing for more surface tension and more traction); its direct speed bar, which is so easy to adjust while running, without breaking stride (the speed/incline switches are on the handrail..GREAT FEATURE!); and, its sturdy frame, which prevents the treadmill from moving during use! Compared to other treadmills that we tried out, the Smooth 9.2 is great! We couldn’t be happier with our purchase! The price was right, the maintenance has been low, and its warranties are decent, too (i.e. a 5-year warranty on the belt, a 10-year warranty on the motor, and a lifetime warranty on the frame)… I highly recommend the Smooth 9.2 Treadmill!
