The Smooth 5.65 Folding Treadmill – Great Value for the PriceThe new for 2010 Smooth 5.65 folding treadmill is a $999 machine that is worth every penny. Although it is more of a walker’s treadmill than a runner’s, that doesn’t mean it offers less in terms of performance; indeed, a walking machine requires a powerful motor to run consistently at slower speeds. This model offers that and more.The Machine(This 2009 model has been discontinued) Read our review of the Smooth 5.65 Folding Treadmill (2011 Model) Key features on the Smooth 5.65 folding treadmill include a large blue back lit LCD display showing speed, time, distance, incline, calories, and heart rate.

With its debut in November 2009, you won’t find many reviews on the Smooth 5.65 folding treadmill so you’ll have to rely on the reputation of Smooth Fitness, the largest online retailer of home fitness equipment, as well as the reviews of the 5.45, which the 5.65 is replacing. The Smooth 5.65 is lighter than the 5.45 but doesn’t forfeit any stability because of it. In addition, they’ve added heart rate controls, a deluxe sound system, more programs, and even increased the walking area.
As with any Smooth machine, it is highly recommended you opt for the inside delivery charge. This folding treadmill weighs close to 200 pounds and you don’t want the stress or problems of trying to get your exciting new purchase safely into your house or apartment. Once inside, the Smooth 5.65 is very easy to set up and you’ll be doing your first workout in as little as 30 minutes. What We SayWith an MSRP of $999, the Smooth 5.65 offers tremendous value for the price — equal to the 5-star rating we gave the 5.45 folding treadmill in 2008. A couple of years ago, Prevention Magazine gave kudos to the Smooth 5.0 (which later became the 5.45 and is now the 5.65) as being the “Best Bargain” and having the “Best Control Panel” among treadmills in its class. Take into account the solid warranty (lifetime motor/frame and 3 years parts/electronics), the attractive design, and the performance and durability, and you have a deal that is hard to beat.
