Weight
= Stability - The
treadmill weight is very important to the overall stability of the machine. The
heavier the treadmill the more solid the feel. The Smooth 9.25 and the Nautilus
800 both have a weight that makes the treadmills very stable.
Motor
Output - Continuous duty horsepower ratings are the amount of power a motor
will produce "continuously" at a given RPM (revolutions per minute).
Continuous duty HP is the "working power" of a treadmill motor, providing
constant power to the drive belt. The higher the HP output, the less stress on
the motor resulting in longer life. Both the Smooth 9.25 and the Nautilus 800
treadmills have 3.0 hp, providing more then adequate output for both walkers and
runners.
Larger
rollers provide for less friction and longer life - Large rollers provide
a smooth walking/running experience and extend the life of the treadbelt. There
is no substitute for size, the larger the better. That's why most commercial treadmills
are equipped with oversized rollers. Both treadmills are equipped with commercial
grade 2.5" rollers.
Factory
Direct Sales - Smooth treadmills are sold factory direct and only on the Internet.
This eliminates the costly overhead from resellers. Nautilus sells their 800 treadmill
only through retailers.
