Smooth 5.15P Treadmill
The Smooth 5.15P treadmill may not be the best, but one of the best, entry level treadmill available in the market today. It has replaced the currently discontinued Smooth 5.0P model.
It is nearly similar to the Smooth 5.0P but with better features. This machine contains the features that the previous unit lacked like a heart rate monitor, a more better display panel and a longer running deck. Best thing, it is also sold for the cost of the old model meaning all the extra features are available for free.
Is It Meant For You?
This treadmill is ideal for people with a limited budget but want a quality treadmill. It is excellent for soft runners and joggers equally. But for serious runners, this treadmill is not recommended.
Things Included
The Smooth 5.15P treadmill is fitted with a powerful 2.5HP continuous motor that is excellent for an entry level. It offers you speeds of 0.6-10 MPH with a power elevation 0-12%.
The handy speed and slope control situated on the side rails is a distinct feature not usually present in entry level units. It helps in simpler adjustment which is particularly useful to keep a rapid speed. The very large and easily readable LCD window shows your pace, distance, calories, slope, time, interval time, pulse and program to assist you in recording your workout. The 7 demanding pre-programmed workouts are meant to provide you more variety and suppleness in your exercise.
It has a cushioned deck measuring 53” x 18” and the non-slip, whisper-quiet tread belt ensures your each workout is the most comfortable. The shock absorption deck reduces impact and lowers stress on joints and back to enjoy a more injury-free run.
It also has a handrail grip pulse monitor. This feature is excellent for people who love doing heart rate exercises.
Lastly, it comes with a lifetime warranty for frames, 10 years for motor, 2 years for parts and a year for service/labor. The warranty by itself shows it is a good quality product as it shows the manufacturer’s confidence in offering such long assurance.
Drawbacks
At times, the Smooth 5.15P treadmill may be out of stock. In event this happens, there can be some delays in delivery. So if you are looking to buy one, do so immediately, otherwise you may have to wait for a long time to get one.
Moreover, though the price already is inclusive of shipping costs, you will have to pay extra for the indoor delivery and installation.

The Smooth 5.15P treadmill is recommended for its value, characteristics and warranties. It is a great treadmill for entry level.
