Smooth 5.45 2008
Overview
UPDATE: This review of the Smooth 5.45 2008 treadmill is obsolete since better models are available on the market. Browse through our reviews to learn more about these current models.
The Smooth 5.45 treadmill’s technical performances are comparable to the top machines in its class and this is a good choice for walkers but even so it’s not a top treadmill. There is no user-friendly console design and the control interface could definitely be improved.
Overall this is a good and solid machine but it stays in the middle of the charts from performance point of view.
