Smooth have a reputation of creating extremely durable treadmills that can easily stand up to any amount of grueling punishment you care to throw at them, and while the Smooth 7.6 HR Pro is at the higher end in terms of prices - it comes in at around the $2,000 mark - the quality and features it offers make it highly competitive with the others in this price bracket.
There's nothing worse than a clunky, noisy treadmill and thankfully the Smooth 7.6 HR Pro lives up to Smooth's reputation for quality. The whole unit feels to be solidly constructed and the deck features a unique running surface that is soft at the front to cushion your foot landing, yet much stiffer further back to really allow you a solid base to push off for your next stride. The unit is also very quiet, meaning you can use it in an apartment or flat without disturbing or annoying your neighbors.
The 7.6 HR Pro features a long belt at 60 inches. It is plenty of room for even an avid runner with long legs to get moving. And you will get moving. The 3 HP motor can take you up to 12 miles per hour, so the treadmill will handle almost any runner. And not just any runner, but a lot of them. The 7.6 HR Pro comes with space for up to nine user profiles, more than almost any household could possibly need.
You can keep an eye on everything from your speed to the distance covered on the display readout, and you can even keep track of your heart rate using a wireless belt. For those who enjoy multi-tasking you can even monitor different data at the same time thanks to the multiple screens. A slight disappointment is that there aren't any features here that you can't find anywhere else, however Smooth do offer exceptionally high quality treadmills for a relatively low price, so this isn't a major complaint.
One nice touch included in the 7.6 HR Pro is an automated folding mechanism. Instead of having to use brute force to fold up the treadmill you simply press a button and it will fold itself up. This is probably for the best, as the treadmill weighs in at about 300 pounds. Remember that the free delivery service is only to the curb, so you will probably want to upgrade it due to that large weight. This may cost you slightly more, but unless you have a couple of very strong friends to help you get the treadmill inside then it is definitely worth taking out. Once you have the 7.6 HR Pro inside and working, it'll be difficult for you to find much wrong with it.
