Smooth Treadmills Extends Service Warranty to 2 Years!
Treadmills companies have been getting more and more generous on their warranty coverage. There are two reasons.
This can be attributed a aggressive competition and improved quality of treadmill components.
For the last several years Sole Treadmills offered 2 years labor coverage on all but their entry treadmill and elliptical trainer. Recently Smooth Fitness has matched that coverage on each of the machines, including their entry models. In addition you get a lifetime warranty on the motor and 5-years on parts for most of their models.
I was told they are experimenting with this offer, and it may become permanent.
What this means for you is if your machine breaks down within the first two years, it is not your problem. They send someone out to fix and replace broken parts, which can be a huge savings.
It also says something about the confidence of Smooth in their products. They would not make this offer if their machines didn't hold up well.
In addition to the warranty extension, they also have been offering various discounts and a $100 savings on "White Glove" delivery on certain treadmills and elliptical trainers.
The state of the economy is forcing fitness equipment companies to get very aggressive with their promotions in order to stay alive. If you can afford it, there are some excellent deals out there.
