The Smooth 9.15 folding treadmill gives you the combination of a quality treadmill that conveniently folds to save space. This is a power folding treadmill. Unlike manual treadmills that can be very heavy to lift, with the push of a button the Smooth 9.15 HR Treadmill folds automatically. In addition, it has large rolling casters that allow you to easily move it to another part of the house. It is a heavy 260 lbs. giving this folding treadmill an extremely solid feel. Best of all, with the Smooth 9.15 folding treadmill you get FREE wireless heart rate control. One of the most efficient ways to workout and burn calories is to let the heart rate monitor determine your level of exertion. The wireless monitor transmits your heart rate to the receiver in the unit. The unit then adjusts the intensity of your workout until your heart rate is in your preset zone.

What We Like : The 9 series Treamdmills from Smooth are a move closer to club class. Upon initial inspection the new 9.15 treadmill might not look all that different from the 5.0P, it is a bigger and much heaver machine. It weighs 260 lb compared with the 5.0P weighing 180lb, and comes with a 2.75 HP motor. This Smooth 9.15 HR Treadmill model comes with 15% elevation which can create some very challenging workouts indeed.The Smooth 9.15 comes with heart rate control.

What We Dislike : Once again our dislikes are so few that they hardly warrant a mention. One possible improvement would be a higher top speed of 12 mph which can be found on many similar priced brands.

Verdict : A very stable treadmill…the trade off is by making it stable by giving it a large base…it takes up more room. The upgrade of motor, LED electronics, and programs would make us consider this one if we were looking at the 7.1HR.
