What research says Both of these folding treadmills are good units, but we believe the ProForm is the better of the two buys in this review. Here's why...
With 3 CHP (continuous horsepower), the Proform 985 Audio Trainer Treadmill has the sturdier of the two engines. It also has the better warranty of the two since Smooth 6.25 Folding Treadmills only come with 10 years on the motor. The ProForm has more built-in workouts as well. In the Smooth's favor is the nine user profiles that allow you to record your your age, weight, height and target heart rate. The program will then determine calories burned in each exercise program for each person. If you can get the smooth used or cheaper than the Proform go for it, but if you're buying a new folding treadmill in the $1,500 - $,1800 price range: buy the Proform 985 Audio Trainer.
