Smooth 7.6 HR Pro Treadmill Review

At around $2,000, the Smooth 7.6 HR Pro is a higher end treadmill in terms of price. But it also offers enough feature and, more importantly, quality to keep it competing with others in the price range. Smooth is known for making a durable product and this treadmill is no different. Although the warranty is competitive with other similarly-prices treadmills, you are less likely to need it when you buy Smooth.

The first thing you expect from a Smooth treadmill is for it to be, well, smooth. Nothing is worse than a loud clunky treadmill when you are trying to get your workout in. Fortunately, the deck is very well-constructed and features a unique running surface. The impact is soft up front where your feet land, but harder in the back so you have something to push off of. This gives the Smooth a very different, but enjoyable, feel when you’re running on it. The deck is also quiet enough to use in your home without waking the neighbors, something many commercial treadmills lack.

The 7.6 HR Pro features a long belt at 60 inches. It is plenty of room for even an avid runner with long legs to get moving. And you will get moving. The 3 HP motor can take you up to 12 miles per hour, so the treadmill will handle almost any runner. And not just any runner, but a lot of them. The 7.6 HR Pro comes with space for up to nine user profiles, more than almost any household could possibly need.

You can keep an eye on everything from your speed to the distance covered on the display readout, and you can even keep track of your heart rate using a wireless belt. For those who enjoy multi-tasking you can even monitor different data at the same time thanks to the multiple screens. A slight disappointment is that there aren’t any features here that you can’t find anywhere else, however Smooth do offer exceptionally high quality treadmills for a relatively low price, so this isn’t a major complaint.

There is one thing you won’t find on many other treadmills. Smooth offers a push button folding technology on the 7.6 HR Pro. Rather than a manual hydraulic lift, you simply press a button and the treadmill folds itself away. When you consider the 300 pound weight of the treadmill, not having to fold it away after a workout is an appealing option. You may also want to consider the in-room delivery as the 300 pounds makes it nearly impossible to move in from the free curbside delivery. But once you get running on this model, you’ll discover what it is that makes Smooth such a well-liked brand.
