Treadmill Review: Smooth 5.45 Folding Treadmill

Smooth treadmills have long been highly rated. They just updated their most popular models, including their budget model, the Smooth 5.45. I have been testing it and it is converting me to treadmill walking. It is extremely quiet - I didn't have to change the volume on my iPod when I started up the treadmill. It is also very smooth. I was doing a multi-tasking workout with my laptop propped on the heart rate sensor bar while I played poker online, listened to a podcast and walked hands-free. My laptop was never in danger of getting vibrated or jostled off the bar. At around $1000, including delivery, this is a good budget choice. Smooth sells direct to customers, eliminating the overhead of stores or a distribution network. They offer a great warranty of lifetime on the motor and frame and three years on parts, with one year in-home servicing.
