Smooth Fitness 5.65

The Smooth Fitness 5.65 is a mid-priced offering, the base model in this line of fitness treadmills. In promotion, Smooth Fitness emphasizes the fact that the 5.65 has a deluxe sound system. You can plug your MP3 player, iPod, CD player or other audio device into the console, so that you can have music playing aloud instead of having to deal with headphone wires.

This is a feature shared with the higher cost 6.75 treadmill. Another shared feature is the dual-stage folding frame. You do not have to struggle with this frame to get it ready for storage: you just have to tilt the deck into position and it is ready to be wheeled away. Fold it back and it is ready for use. Both the 5.65 and the 6.75 also have handrail toggle switches, which allow you to adjust your incline and speed while staying in motion on the treadmill. There are feature differences between the 5.65 and 6.75. The Smooth Fitness 5.65 has a blue backlit LCD display, whereas the 6.75 has a dual color LCD display. The 5.65 does not have the 6.75's ultra-quiet whisper weave treadbelt. The 5.65 has a 2.5HP motor, whereas the 6.75 has a 3.0HP motor. On the 5.65 the reading rack is an optional add-on, whereas it is included on the 6.75. The Smooth Fitness 5.65 fitness treadmill comes with a three year parts warranty, and two year labor warranty. The frame and motor both have lifetime warranties.
