Impressive Features

The Smooth 6.25 treadmill has a heritage of innovation and proven reliability. You'll find distinctive attributes rarely found on other folding treadmills.

How Is The Smooth 6.25 Better Than The (older model) Smooth 7.1?

• Longer Motor Warranty: The Smooth 6.25 offers a lifetime motor warranty whereas the Smooth 7.1 offered a 10 year motor warranty. Also the electronics and parts are covered for 5 years instead of 3 which suggests that they are of higher quality.
  

• More Powerful Motor: The Smooth 6.25 steps up to a higher powered 2.75 Continuous Duty HP motor (The older Smooth 7.1 had a 2.5 HP motor). This type of motor power for under $1500 is rare and again, Smooth outdoes many other midpriced treadmill brands here.
  

• Improved Stability: While the older Smooth 7.1 was extremely stable, the new Smooth 6.25 goes one step futher. It is constructed with separate, heavy-duty base and deck frames that adds even more stability to the treadmill, both while walking and running.
  

• Upgraded Console: The Smooth 6.25 has a slighly more sophisticated console with easier-to-read displays showing separate speed and incline hill profiles.
  

Expert Reviews:

The Smooth 6.25 was rated a Best Buy for 2006 by Treadmill Doctor in the under $1500 range. It also earned a spot on the Best Budget Treadmill list by About.com.

Overall Conclusion:

The Smooth 6.25 is brand new to the market, however in the short time it's been out, it has still garnered a 'Best Buy' award from Treadmill Doctor and a Best Budget Treadmill mention from About.com.

According to Smooth, the Smooth 6.25 was specifically built to be a 'Runners treadmill for under $1500' however it would also be perfect for the frequent walker as well.

Bottom Line: This is one high value treadmill. With the new lifetime motor warranty, higher powered motor, improved design and more sophisticated console, it's an absolute steal for under $1500.

Although this is not necessarily the best treadmill for heavier users or frequent runners (check out our Best Treadmill For Runners recommendations for that), it is still the best treadmill value under $1500 for the average jogger or walker.
