Weight
= Stability - The
treadmill weight is very important to the overall stability of the machine. The
heavier the treadmill the more solid the feel. In this price range both the Schwinn
835 Treadmill and the Smooth 7.1 have sufficient weight for a stable and solid
feel.
Motor
Output - Continuous duty horsepower ratings are the amount of power a motor
will produce "continuously" at a given RPM (revolutions per minute).
Continuous duty HP is the "working power" of a treadmill motor, providing
constant power to the drive belt. The higher the HP output, the less stress on
the motor resulting in longer life. The Smooth 7.1 HR comes with a powerful 2.75
hp continous duty motor.
Larger
rollers provide for less friction and longer life - Large rollers provide
a smooth walking/running experience and extend the life of the treadbelt. There
is no substitute for size, the larger the better. That's why most commercial treadmills
are equipped with oversized rollers. Both the Schwinn 835 Smooth 7.1 HR treadmill
comes with commercial grade 2.5" rollers.
Factory
Direct Sales - Smooth treadmills are sold factory direct and only on the Internet.
This eliminates the costly overhead from resellers. Schwinn sells their 835 treadmill
