Smooth 5.0P Treadmill

Pros: Fairly priced, good motor warranty, solid walking surface
Cons: Poor owners manual, have had some service problems

I'm not much at writing reviews but will give it a shot.

I purchased my Smooth 5.0 last August. The treadmill was delivered in less than a week and the driver removed it from the back of the truck and offered to wheel it into my garage so...

Pros: Sturdy, professional, fun
Cons: none so far

I love to walk/jog, but don't have the time or desire to always walk outside, so a treadmill seemed like a good idea. I had no idea that there were literally hundreds of treadmills to choose from. So to decide on which one was right for me, I visited ...

Pros: Simple to fold, sturdy feel, reasonable price
Cons: still new

I probably never would have bought a treadmill over the Internet if it wasn’t for my son. He purchased a Smooth 9.2 treadmill last year and has been very pleased with the performance and construction. He uses his for running, while I wanted a treadmill...

Pros: Folds for easy storage; reliable; sturdy; takes up less space; great features!
Cons: Haven't found any!

I’m so excited about writing this review! When I have good news, I like to share it with the rest of the world!

Last spring, just about a year ago, I looked in the mirror and wasn’t too pleased with what I saw looking back at me! Over the...

Pros: folds up, quiet, good price, stable
Cons: no heart rate monitor

I did extensive research on treadmills to find one that suited me. I knew I wasn't going to be a heavy treadmill user, so the ones that were over $3000 didn't interest me, and I didn't want one that would break down in a year so I was determined to stay...

Pros: doesn't require too much space, folds for storage, sturdy, dependable, cost-efficient, nice features
Cons: extra charge for indoor delivery and set-up

I had been shopping around for a good, reliable, inexpensive treadmill for a few months…I looked in retail stores, through fitness magazines, online…I just couldn’t seem to make a decision! Finally, a friend introduced me to epinions.com, and together,...

Pros: fold-away/compact, incline/decline, cal./distance monitor
Cons: delivery took longer than expected

I'm in a rush so i'll give ya only the facts Jack/Jackie!

1. WHY?
Cuz i went from a size 7/8 to a size 11/12 in 1 yr! OH THE HUMANITY!

2. I enjoy all the bells & whistles it comes with. Its seems sturdy, it has the...

Pros: Foldable, strong, quality parts, very quite
Cons: Not yet found, just bought it

This is my update to the first review. I am going to keep my first review for the first time readers. It covers some different aspects.
First Review:
I had a budget of less than $1500 and no treadmill experience in the past. I kept reading...

Pros: Speed and incline controls on the handles are convenient. Easy set up. Good value.
Cons: A bit on the noisy side. Delivery was challenging.

I love my new treadmill!

I've always been addicted to walking but, unfortunately, have also suffered from a chronic health problem related to air temperature that prevents me from walking briskly outside or even in a gym where the air...

Pros: quiet, sturdy, good value
Cons: operational manual vague, misleading

the treadmill itself is adequate, steady on it's feet and quiet. But the design and operation of the control panel is awkward. the control panel seems flimsy and gives the appearance it will not last long. The panel is a 'touch-screen' and seems wimpy. I...

Pros: Good power, well organized displays and controls, relatively quiet.
Cons: Terrible customer service!

I think the treadmill is great! I do interval training, and the power allows me to run without feeling any strain on the motor. I like the way the control layout is organized - it makes sense, although I needed to read the manual to program the different...

Pros: Durable, quiet and functional.
Cons: Difficult to adjust on the fly, program profiles cannot be tailored.

I have owned the Smooth 5.0P treadmill for one year. I ordered the treadmill from "Treadmillbynet.com". The treadmill arrived seemingly intact. However, upon setup and operation it became apparent the treadmill was damaged (assumingly during...

Pros: For the $999 it has a huge belt and huge 2.5 HP motor
Cons: we could criticize the slight lack of equipment- such as a heart rate monitor.

For overall value this has to be one of the best treadmills on the market. A powerful 2.5HP motor is ...

Pros: Inexpensive, relatively sturdy, great for walkers, folds for easier storage
Cons: Not the greatest treadmill on the market...

I recently bought a Smooth 5.0 treadmill. I was reviewing a web site called treadmilldoctor.com and they gave it a “Best Buy” rating in its' price range. I thought this required some additional research. I found that Prevention Magazine also...

Pros: good design, compact
Cons: quality issues, poor technical support

Unfortunately, I cannot write a complete review because the treadmill hasn't worked since the day of ...
