The 5.0 has the typical features that you would expect from a $1000 treadmill. Plus Smooth fitness decided to threw in a couple of unexpected surprises as well.

You'd expect a treadmill in this range to have a 2 h.p. motor, but Smooth upped the ante and gives you a 2.5 hp motor w/ a 10 year warranty.

The 5.0 also offers hand grip speed and incline controls, that make it convenient to customize your workout on the fly.

You also get a maintanance free running deck, 9 workout programs, a large running deck and way more features than I care to list here.

The Smooth 5.0 Treadmill earned the, "Best Bargain and Control Panel" award from the Prevention magazine.
