Consumer Guide Smooth® 9.15 HR Review (not available in Europe, please see Smooth® 8.25e)

Smooth Fitness™ is still somewhat of a newcomer to the home market, but few manufacturers pack as much innovation into this price range as they do. For instance, the Smooth® 9.15 HR uses new electronics technology that is sure to become standard one day. It’s called Pulse Width Modulation, but beyond all the “techno-babble,” the bottom line is you’ll hear the difference in its super-quiet operation.

The Smooth Fitness™ 9.15 HR belts use a unique proprietary, non-slip tread pattern, which does not trap dirt into the square grooves like ordinary belt patterns. Easy to clean and durable, the belts actually maintain a higher quality look and feel. The Smooth Fitness™ 9.15 HR is equipped with heart rate control, always a plus when trying to maintain greater control over your workout.

Its powerful 2.75-horsepower continuous-duty motor and a large 20x54-inch belt ensure reliability and comfort. It weighs in at 260 pounds, giving this an unexpectedly solid feel for a folding treadmill. And this leads to perhaps the best innovation of the product: The patented power-folding feature allows the user to flick a switch and the treadmill folds itself. As it folds, four castor wheels pop out so it can be easily and effortlessly moved out of the way.
