The
smooth 9.35 HR Treadmill has some appealing features, and is a rock
solid machine. I tested it when I was their corporate offices and
was very impressed. Their treadmills just get better and better.
They aren't the cheapest models out there, but they are some of
the best built.
There are two features that are noteworthy about
the Smooth 9.35 HR treadmill...
Hydra SuspensionT System — You
can actually adjust the shock absorption of the deck. Depending
on your weight, style of exercising and condition of your joints,
having the ability to increase or decrease the impact can be very
attractive. The Hydra Suspension system allows you to change the
absorption to 12 different levels.
Note: As of 7/29/10 the Smooth 9.35 HR treadmill was selling

Motion
Control — I have always like this
feature. It is particularly attractive to runners. By the wave of
your hand over the sidebars, you can decrease or increase the speed.
Normally you have to adjust speed through the console. As your running,
you have to be off balanced to make changes. With the Motion Control
feature, you do not loose your stride as you adjust the speed. This
is particularly appealing if you are interval training.
Overall, the Smooth 9.35 HR treadmill appears to
be a solid running machine. All Smooth treadmills are
equipment with quality motors. You can expect the 3.0 continuous
duty HP motor to run effortlessly at high speeds, and to be relatively
quiet.
It comes with wireless heart rate control, which
is ideal for optimizing your workout. The console has a "smart" design,
providing five windows for sumultaneous data readouts. There is also a graphic
image that tracks your progression for the quarter mile.
One last comment is the overall design. I feel this
is one of the more attractive treadmills on the market. With the
rounded trim and smooth lines, it stands out from the pack of generic
looking machines.
Our Review - Smooth 9.35 HR Treadmill
This is a sweet treadmill, and when it is selling
for $1,999, it is a TOP consider. If selling for more you can either
wait till it goes back on sale or consider my other "Best
Buy" recommendations.
One last note, The 9.35HR weighs a hefty 290 lbs. The good news is no matter how hard you are running it will feel solid and stable. The bad news is it is a bitch to move. You probably want to consider the indoor shipping option.
