Smooth 9.15 HR Review |
 |
 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.
