Title: best bang for your buck
Product review: Picking treadmills can be overwhelming - so many brands and options. After lots of research, my wife and I decided on the Smooth 5.0 for four reasons: it's stable, quiet, reasonably priced, and doesn't have any unnecessary bells & whistles.Smooth is one of the best brands out there for consumer treadmills. Other brands (Precor, LifeFitness) are geared towards commercial use (i.e. gyms). Granted, these treadmills are more durable and able to withstand much more use, but you also pay 3 or 4 times more.The 5.0 is just as stable and even more quiet than the high-end treadmills I use at my work gym. While the belt length & width are a few inches shorter than the commercial counterparts, I really haven't even noticed.The clincher: the 5.0 also folds up easily for storage and has a great warranty. Over the next couple of years, this treadmill will pay for itself in canceled gym memberships.
