6 Pack Abdominals

  

As this product was introduced to the market only in November 2009, this Smooth 6.75 treadmill review may be one of the first you’ll be able to come across now. But while this treadmill may be new to consumers, the model that it is replacing – the Smooth 6.45 – is not. How different the Smooth 6.75 is from the 6.45, and what additional new features have been installed in the latest model is what you’re going to find out in this article.

Similarities with the Smooth 6.45

The older model, the Smooth 6.45M is already a great treadmill by itself, with a solid feel and all the features that a treadmill user would look for. You won’t be disappointed in the Smooth 6.75 as well because it still has all the good elements of the 6.45, with a few more details thrown in.

As far as basic specs are concerned, the Smooth 6.75 retains the 20 by 60 inches walking surface which should already be ample space for most users, the quiet 3.0 HP continuous duty motor, the top speed of 12 mph, and a maximum incline of 15. As with its predecessor, the 6.75 can also hold a user up to 350 lbs, and is equipped with heart rate control and hand pulse grips.

New features added in the 6.75

But that’s where it all ends as far the similarities are concerned. The question now is, “What does the Smooth 6.75 has that the Smooth 6.45 doesn’t?” Plenty, as it turns out. What Smooth Fitness really highlights in the company website are these two: the dual-stage, soft drop folding, and a deluxe sound system. The improved folding feature, coupled with a lighter machine weight and transport wheels makes for a very easy-to-fold and easy-to-store treadmill.

Other than that, the Smooth 6.75 is also equipped with a much bigger dual-color LCD display, cooling fans, and hand rail toggle adjustments for easier control of the speed and incline.

Is it worth the price?

So how much would you have to shell out to get all those features? The Smooth 6.75 is regularly on sale at 1,799 dollars. From its price tag alone, you can conclude that this treadmill is one of Smooth’s higher-end models. You’ll be sure to find a lower-priced model that can serve the same purpose, but for those who can afford to get a treadmill that comes with all the bells and whistles, this is a good choice.

And just like most Smooth Fitness treadmills, the 6.75 also comes with a product warranty that other treadmill manufacturers cannot easily match or beat – lifetime warranty for frame and motor, 5 years for electronic parts, and 2 years for labor.

Final thoughts

At this point (Nov 2009), the Smooth 6.75 treadmill has only been introduced for only a few weeks so it’s hard to find even a single feedback from an owner or user of the treadmill. And this is perhaps the only obvious setback, if you can call it that, I can find with this machine. But features-wise though, the 6.75 looks to be another powerful and reliable treadmill the likes of which you can expect from Smooth Fitness. The bottom line of this Smooth 6.75 treadmill review is that while this equipment may be on the pricey side, it’s worth it.
