Features:

•	Dual-Stage, Soft Drop Folding A treadmill shouldn't require hoisting and heaving to fold. With the Smooth 5.45's gas shock-assist lift you can gently tilt the deck into position and wheel it away for storage. Use the convenient foot-operated lever to lower it softly back into place with and it's ready again for use.
•	20" x 55" Whisper WeaveTM Treadbelt Industry experts and customers alike rave about how quietly the Smooth 5.45 operates. Running treadmills are often noisy, but our Whisper WeaveTM technology helps make Smooth treadmills as quiet as any on the market today. At 20", the Smooth 5.45's running surface is as wide as that of our most expensive treadmills.
•	Patented Swing ArmTM Shock Absorption System The patented suspension running deck is proven to lessen the impact of walking and running. The entire running deck and frame is suspended on two pivots, increasing cushioning and reducing harmful impact on your ankles, knees, hips and back.
•	Quiet, Powerful 2.5 HP Motor Built for long life and complete silence. Engineered with an advanced Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) circuit board more typically found on commercial treadmills, the Smooth 5.45 treadmill operates noise-free. Optical speed sensors working in conjunction with the PWM ensure smooth speed changes, plus dual motor fans extend the life of your treadmill.
•	Heart Rate Control Through programmed settings you control, the wireless heart rate monitor automatically adjusts the intensity of your workouts according to the reading on the ergonomically-positioned grip pulse monitor.

Product Description
When Smooth designed the 5.45 treadmill, we took one of our all-time bestsellers, the Smooth 5.25, and created an even greater machine at the same low price. The 5.45 continues Smooth's tradition of manufacturing affordable treadmills while refusing to compromise quality. At a massive 210 lbs., this budget treadmill feels as solid as any machine you've used in a health club. With the unrivaled comfort of Smooth's legendary Swing Arm Shock Absorption, an ample variety of training programs and a generous 20" x 55" deck, the 5.45 will make an outstanding exercise partner for years to come.

An excellent choice, but... June 26, 2008

Consider buying it from the manufacturer web site (smoothfitness.com). Why? This thing is massive! Read on...

GOOD POINTS: My wife and I use it every day. It is solid as a rock and quiet. We absolutely got our money's worth and I'd buy it again, hands-down.

BAD POINTS: It is MASSIVE! Because we bought this from Amazon, it came shipped to us just like you'd think. But at 200+ lbs, it remained in our garage until five guys from church came and carried it to our basement. Once there, I had to assemble it.

Mind you, assembly is mostly-done for you. But there's work for you to do, and don't make any mistake about it. Setting this thing up takes time and effort, but it's worth it.

ADVICE: buy this from the manufacturer's web site and pay for their White Glove service. If you do, once it arrives someone will lug it to any room in your home and *then* assemble it for you. Trust me on this, just spend the money and let someone else deal with it! Learn from my mistake. If you opt to save money like I did, you will be sorry you did when this thing arrives at the end of your driveway. At least I was.

One last thing: make sure where you put it has an AC outlet nearby. You will need it (this thing needs power). If you do like me and put it in your basement, go out and buy a power-strip (with a 10-foot or more cord) and have it handy, so the installation people can plug it in once it's all assembled. In our case, I even taped-down the power-strip cable to the floor, so you don't trip over it.

Again, once assembled and where it's suppose to be in your home, this is money well spent. I can't tell you enough how solid and reliable it is. Just pay someone else to deal with the set-up hassle and you'll be all set.
