A Running Machine at a Value Price
It is one thing to build a treadmill for walking, but to engineer a machine for jogging or running, you have to build for endurance.
When you run and strike the deck you are impacting with up to 2.5x your body weight. Now multiply that impact tens of thousands of time and you begin to realize the abuse a running treadmill takes. And that is why a decent running treadmill can cost thousands of dollars.
There are a number of budget treadmill manufacturers that would suggest their inexpensive treadmills can handle runners. Those machines usually have warranties that would suggest otherwise. Guess what? When used for purposes other than walking, they tend to break down under the stress.
The design and purpose behind the Smooth 6.45 was to build a durable running machine at the most reasonable price. If you are planning to just walk, you will be better suited with the Smooth 5.45. However, if you want a machine built for the abuse of running but doesn't require taking out a second mortgage, than the Smooth 6.45 is the obvious choice.
