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 Spirit SL 188 Treadmill and the Smooth 5.15 have sufficient weight for a stable and solid feel. Recommended for walking and lite running.

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, which results in longer life.

Factory Direct Sales - Smooth treadmills are sold factory direct and only on the Internet. This eliminates the costly overhead from resellers. Spirit sells their SL 188 treadmill only through retailers.

Shipping Included - The prices for all of the Smooth Treadmills includes shipping to your home.
