Built for long life and complete silence, the 2.75 horsepower continuous duty motor is engineered with an advanced Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) circuit board more typically found on commercial treadmills. Speed sensors working in conjunction with the PWM ensure smooth speed changes and noise-free operation.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed April 5, 2010

By In Texas

I received the 5.56 treadmill on 2/8/2010. I loved it until 3/18/2010 when sparks flew from under the deck. I immediately turned it off and unplugged it. I called Smooth Fitness immediately. They said USA Assembly would call me within 24-48 hours. They called the next day on 3/19/2010 to tell me that someone would call me with 24-48 hours. I never received that call or any other call from them regardless of any promises they make to call me back. It has now been 2 1/2 weeks and they are still searching for a service technician to work on it.

I am so disappointed. I am of average weight and used the treadmill for walking less than 30 times before it burned up -- not impressive! I purchased it based on the good reviews and the 2 year in-home warranty. The warranty doesn't mean a whole lot if you can't get someone to work on your machine. I couldn't in all fairness recommend this to anyone.

Also, be aware that if you live in a rural area the treadmill is "curbside" delivered by an 18-wheeler. The truck couldn't manage to get down our street. I was lucky that my husband was home and could use his trailer to meet the truck in a more accessible area.

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst Customer Service Ever February 29, 2012

By Jeff Phelps

I have been calling, emailing, and leaving voicemails for over 2 weeks now and I haven't received any sort of call back. When I call I will stay on hold for endless amounts of time and then transferred into a voicemail that hangs up on me. Sure it has the best warranty around, but there is no way to actually use it. I will update this review if I have any sort of positive experience what-so-ever.

1.0 out of 5 stars Unpleasant experience with Smooth Fitness December 7, 2011

By Renee Molina

Several weeks ago, I purchased a Smooth Fitness 5.65i treadmill Smooth Fitness 5.65 Folding Treadmill. The Smooth Fitness website includes the 5.65 in a list of treadmills that come with a wireless chest strap, but the 5.65i does not come with a chest strap. There are icons on the console of the 5.65i that show programs from P-0 through P-13 but there is no P-13 program in the 5.65i.

The User Manual that came in the box contained instructions for the Smooth Fitness 7.35 treadmill rather than the 5.65i. A Smooth Fitness service person recently emailed me a link for a revised User Manual, but the revised manual contains instructions for the TruPace M 120 treadmill rather than the Smooth Fitness 5.65i. I have been unable to get a User Manual for the 5.65i.

The website says that there is a 5-year parts warranty, but the invoice that I received after I placed the order says that there is a 4-year parts warranty. The website says that there is a 2-year warranty for labor, but Smooth Fitness has not responded to multiple requests for a service call to repair several defects in my new treadmill.

Smooth Fitness should accurately represent their products and disclose what the customer must do to get them to honor their service warranty.
