Smooth 9.45ST Treadmill Review

The Smooth 9.45ST treadmill is one of two machines in the Smooth Fitness 9 series. The other one is the slightly more expensive Smooth 9.45TV that comes equipped with a 15″ flat screen LCD TV. Both treadmills are identical except the “ST” model obviously doesn’t have the TV.

The 9-series treadmills are top-of-the-line and most expensive treadmills sold by Smooth. With the Smooth 9.45ST you are getting a commercial-quality treadmill for the home. The 9.45ST has the innovative motion control hands free adjustment technology. This allows you to simply wave your hands over the sidebars to increase or reduce your running speed. It also has the adjustable shock absorption system that allows you to adjust the firmness of the running surface. These are very unique features that set the Smooth 9.45ST apart from other treadmills.

The other nice thing about the Smooth 9.45ST is the lifetime warranty. Given the quality construction of this treadmill and the incredible warranty, you can buy with complete confidence.

The MSRP on the Smooth 9.45 ST is $4897 but is regularly on sale for $2299-$2399 and you pay no sales tax unless you are a resident of Pennsylvania or Indiana.

The 9.45 ST is about as good as it gets for your money! When you compare the features of the Smooth with others in its price range, I think you would pick the Smooth.-Treadmill Doctor, Industry Expert

I looked at a lot of treadmills in the stores. Some good some bad. But not one other company I ran into offers the warranty that Smooth offers with the 9.45ST. Once it arrived and I got it set up, the quality is the reason why Smooth offers this warranty! If you want to buy a machine and not worry about the cost of repairs, this might be something you want to look at.-Smooth Fitness Customer

I love my 945St for the cushioning. I am Bouncin Betty and I need good cushioning and found it. Thanks for coming up with the hydra-suspension, I now don't have to go to an elliptical.-Smooth Fitness Customer

I purchased the 945St to replace my gym membership and I could not be more pleased. I normally worked out on the $5000-$7000 machines in the gym and this one is just as good or better. I love the motion control which allows me to change the speed on the fly without tripping up on the hood cover. This has been a great feature for me.-Smooth Fitness Customer

My 945St is GREAT! I dropped my gym membership due to the cost and the economy. I wanted to get myself a great gym quality machine and I did, this machine is solid as can be. -Smooth Fitness Customer

This machine is really sturdy. I was concerned about buying something off the web but you guys made me a believer. I am a big guy and this machine is just like the ones at the gym at a fraction of the cost. Nice Job! -Smooth Fitness Customer
