Smooth 5.65 Treadmill Review: Another New Treadmill from Smooth Fitness
This Smooth 5.65 treadmill review will try to take a quick look at this latest 2010 version to join the Smooth Fitness lineup, which is replacing one of the company’s best selling models, the 5.45. But what sets the 5.65 apart from the older model? Is it simply the more updated look it now sports with the bold splash of red added to its side? Or is there more than just the new look?
Updated Features of the Smooth 5.65
This new 2010 model still comes with the main features that the 5.45 had. These are the 20″ by 55″ jogging surface, the 2.5 continuous-duty HP motor, and an LCD monitor. It’s still able to accommodate a top speed of 10 mph, and an incline of up to 15%. If you think these features are enough to give bang for your buck, there’s more.
The Smooth 5.65 is already equipped with added features which are seldom found in treadmills priced less than 1,000 dollars. It comes with a deluxe sound system, 14 preset programs, and a two-speed cooling fan. Although weighing slightly lighter than the older model at 191 lbs (the 5.45 weighed 210 lbs), this treadmill now supports maximum user weight of 275 pounds.
Some Things to Consider
If you’re not one to experiment with an equipment that’s yet to establish a track record, then you may not be so enthusiastic with the Smooth 5.65. Despite how good its features are, the 5.65 remains to be a new model that has only been released as of this writing (December 2009). There is however, already one customer feedback found on the site which gives it 5 out of 5 stars.
Another thing that fitness enthusiasts should also consider if they are interested in getting the Smooth 5.65 is that with the features that this treadmill has, it is really most suitable for walkers and joggers. Those who are looking for a solid running experience will do best with higher-end models.
Affordable Price, Exceptional Warranty
As with the Smooth 5.45, the 5.65 treadmill is classified under the sub-1,000 dollars category but despite its affordability, Smooth certainly didn’t skimp on its features. Even this early, I can see this latest model’s potential of being another one of the company’s fastest selling units. Further, the 5.65 is guaranteed by Smooth Fitness’ unmatched warranty: lifetime on the frame and motor, 3 years on parts and electronics, and 1 year warranty on labor.
Closing Thoughts
Replacing the award-winning Smooth 5.45 may initially appear as a questionable move on the part of Smooth Fitness. But taking a close look at the Smooth 5.65, it does seem that consumers are getting more bang for their buck with this 2010 model. All things considered, this machine may be just be the best treadmill for a fitness enthusiast who is merely after a 15 to 30-minute brisk walk or jog daily needs. This Smooth 5.65 treadmill review therefore recommends it to consumers who fit this bill.
