Sold Factory Direct the Smooth 9.3P and 9.3HR are premium treadmills built with the highest quality components. It comes with: Baldor 3.0 HP Continuous Duty Motor The Baldor motor is industrial quality with oversize construction. Weighing in at 30 lbs, it is the largest motor available in its class. Energy-efficient design and commercial materials create a rugged, long-life motor that produces speeds up to 12 miles per hour. You can be assured of years of maintenance free service, with a high horsepower output for all types of users. I-3 Intelligent Electronics - You will think that your Smooth 9.3 treadmill is reading your mind once you turn the electronic panel on. The software is programmed to prompt the user in selecting which button to push next. With four preset programs, each offering nine different levels of intensity, there are challenges for everyone. It provides cumulative feedback on total miles, calories burned, hours or use, minutes per mile, etc. Integrated Belt and Deck Design - The belt and deck work as a team to lessen noise and friction. Friction between the belt and deck create noise and higher amp-draw on the motor controller. By using lubricated materials in the belt and deck, this lowers the friction thereby lowering amp-draw on the motor controller. Lower amp-draw on the motor controller keeps in cooler and enhances longer life. Whisper Weave Belt - Non slip, long lasting. Designed for low friction, long life and very low noise level.

The 9.3 is the only Smooth Treadmill to come with a lifetime warranty. This warranty covers all parts including frame, electronics and wear parts for a lifetime, but Labor costs are only covered for a period of one year from the date of purchase.
Apart from the warranty and some other minor extra features such as multi user programs, this is a very similar machine to the 9.2.

We feel that compared to the 9.2, this Smooth Treadmill is a little overpriced , compared to many other brands out there retailing for $3000 it is great value. Our advice would be to go for the 9.2 and save yourself $1000.

Verdict

Our Recommendation :

The 9.3 is Smooth’s best treadmill and is the most stable although our testing on the 7.1 has showing that its stability is very similar. The handle switches are a must for runners who want to change speed and incline easily.
