Weight = Stability - The treadmill weight is very important to the overall stability of the machine. The heavier the treadmill the more solid the feel. Both the Smooth 9.15 and the Spirit SR 247 are heavy enough to provide a solid, stable workout.

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. Both treadmills have powerful enough motors to handle both walkers and runners.

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 Spirit SR 247 and the Smooth 9.15 have commercial grade rollers. This Smooth model has a very impressive service track record. Including long life on the treadbelt.

Factory Direct Sales - Smooth treadmills are sold factory direct and only on the Internet. This eliminates the costly overhead from resellers. Spirit sells their SR 247 treadmill only through retailers.

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