10.5” LCD TV |
This TV feature is the main attraction of the Smooth 9.65TV. Though many other manufacturers now equip their treadmills with large LCD screens or even internet browsers, the conventional TV is something that'll keep you entertained while you do your workouts. Now you can watch your favorite TV shows while burning those extra pounds away. |
|
Spacious 21" x 64" belt powered by a 4.0HP motor |
Not many treadmills give you a 21" wide and 64" long treadbelt. This is the longest treadmill belt we've seen so far and we're just happy it comes with a strong 4.0HP motor that's also rarely offered in upper residential treadmills. |
|
55 programs |
The 9.65TV comes with 55 programs. We're used to seeing just 10 to 24 programs in treadmills so 55 is just many. It also achieved the max score in our score cards. |
|
Good overall warranty |
The 9.65TV comes with the best warranty available today for this price range. For every purchase, you get a lifetime warranty on frame, motor and parts plus 2 years of in-home labor. With other treadmills, you only get around 2-4 years on parts warranty and some still even offer just 1 year in-home labor warranty, so what the 9.65Tv is offering you is something you should take note of. |
|
Heavy treadmill |
Weighing 325lbs, the 9.65TV is heavy and you can say sturdy which is important for treadmills. You would of course want a very stable machine especially when you weigh close to the maximum user capacity of 400 lbs. The treadmill will take all your weight when you're running at 10mph or faster, so you would want a sturdy machine. |

Has no fans |
Unfortunately, the 9.65TV doesn't have a cooling fan feature. This is common for treadmills that cost $2000 and up so we're quite disappointed not seeing this fan feature. |
|
Belt plies not stated |
Other treadmill manufacturers put emphasis on the treadmill's belt plies. Multi-ply belts of course are stronger than single ply belts and in the case of 9.65TV, we cannot determine the exact number of plies so we gave it a low mark since we're speaking of this component's durabilty. We're just hoping Smooth comes up with information on its treadmill's belt soon. |
