The Smooth 6.25 treadmill seems to be a viable solution for those who like walking or light jogging workouts. It has a nice design and offers good performances but this si not a top machine.
We’ve read many complaints about the size and weight of this machine. Hey – this is a treadmill! If you don’t want bouncing when you jog it needs to be big & heavy.
The Smooth 6.25 treadmill comes with some interesting preset workouts but no additional features like sound system or built in fan. Even so the machine will satisfy a home user that uses it for light and medium workouts.

Conclusions For Smooth 6.25 Treadmill Review
From the first moment this treadmill impressed us with its design. We don’t know if it just a personal opinion but we really like the color choices applied and the console design. It gives you the impression of perfection from the moment you set an eye on it.
But our 1st impression did not persist until the end. The technical performances are good for this machine class but this treadmill is not even near top3.
This unit comes with a 2.75 CHP motor that reaches a decent noise level during heavy workouts. The motor powers a 20’’ x 54’’ belt that comes with a pretty good suspension/cushioning system. Of course we wish we had a longer belt but this version can work for now.
We love how the console is built: nice design and pleasant colors. But there is still a problem we discovered on several other brands. There are no quick speed and incline keys. In the last 4 months we did many treadmills testing and reviews and we kind of got used to having these easy to use buttons (we really like them). They are very useful especially if training gets intense. You simply push a button and you have the desired speed & incline.
The Smooth 6.5 comes with some interesting preset workouts. The target distance and calories programs are pretty cool and we smiled when we saw the Heart Rate Control Program.
There are no entertainment features on this treadmill. No speakers or Mp3 dock. This is something that is nice to have but not really that important. So we will not consider as a minus.
The warranty for this model is good: you get a lifetime warrantee for frame & motor and 5 years for the parts.
As a conclusion for the Smooth 6.5 Treadmill review: this is definitely a good machine with pleasant design and superior technical performances. However this is not a top treadmill in its class. More likely you can locate it in a middle position. The machine is definitely a solution for walkers but not something serious runners should consider.
