"...The 9.15 treadmill runs smoothly (just as its name suggests); and, it is unbelievably quiet compared to my old Pacemaster treadmill. I can actually meditate or focus on reading during my workouts, if I desire, without being distracted by the noise of the motor...The Bottom Line: This is a quality treadmill, worth its purchase price."

"Pros: Nice features, runs smoothly and quietly, great warranties. Cons: a bit pricey...but worth it!...the Smooth 9.15 treadmill is a power folding machine that has four sizable casters which allow me to easily roll the treadmill from storage area to workout area and back.
I've seen other folding treadmills and you have to tilt them on two wheels and move them while balancing the weight of the machine.."
