Smooth 9.45TV Treadmill Review
The Smooth 9.45TV treadmill is the most expensive treadmill made by Smooth Fitness and is one of two machines in the 9 series treadmills. The other one is the Smooth 9.45ST. The only difference between the two is the "TV" model has a TV and the "ST" model doesn't. You'll pay about $200 more for the TV model.
The flat screen LCD TV on the Smooth 9.45TV is bigger than most TV's you'll find on treadmills measuring an impressive 15?. Most treadmills TV's are about half that size. The other nice thing about this TV is that it's mounted on a separate frame. It's not attached directly to the treadmill console. When you run on this treadmill the TV won't wobble or shake uncontrollably.
The Smooth 9.45TV also has some other unique features not found in other treadmills. For starters, it has an adjustable shock absorption system. Whether you want a firm running surface to mimic an outdoor run or soft cushioning to prevent joint pain, the shock system on the Smooth 9.45TV can be easily adjusted to suit your needs.
You can also adjust the speed during your exercise by simply waving your hand over the hands-free speed control system. The idea behind this "touch free speed control" is that you don't have to make any awkward movements when you're exercising. A quick wave of the hand is all it takes to increase or decrease the speed.
In addition to these features, the Smooth 9.45TV treadmill is very stable given it's hefty weight of 315 lbs. Given the shear weight of this treadmill and the generous 60? deck, it is an ideal machine for runners but walkers and joggers will enjoy it as well. Throw in the lifetime warranty and you have a great home treadmill for anyone.
The MSRP on the Smooth 9.45TV is $5397 but is regularly on sale for around $2,500 and you pay no sales tax unless you are a resident of Pennsylvania or Indiana.
