Customer Review: A few problems, but a smooth experience overall
My wife and I have owned the Smooth (Keys Fitness) 5.15 Treadmill for over 2 years. We have not owned another treadmill, but before committing to this one, we tested many other brands in this price range. The Smooth brand is definitely the smoothest ride you can get without paying significantly more.

Each of us runs about 2-5 miles daily, and when maintained as prescribed in the owners’ manual (occasional lubrication and belt realignment), the 5.15 handles it easily. The ride is very comfortable, compared to other treadmills and running outdoors), and we have no doubt that this treadmill would handle more vigorous running with ease.

We have had a few problems with the 5.15. Within the first year, some of the soft-touch buttons on the control panel stopped working, and the circuit board had to be replaced twice. This involved working with about 25 screws each time. Then, about a year later, the arm-mounted toggle switches stopped working. These are small auxilliary switches for incline and speed levels, so they weren’t vital. They were easy to replace without tools.

Then, at about two years, the belt tore slightly at the seam, along one edge. The treadmill was still usable, but the loose piece of belt smacked against the plastic housing loudly on each revolution. This wasn’t terribly difficult to replace, but it certainly wasn’t fun, requiring disassembly of the entire platform.

Service Notes: Outside of the ‘parts and labor’ warranty period, when only parts are covered, customers pay for shipping the parts to and from Keys Fitness. Most Keys’ service technicians are knowledgeable, and are perfectly willing to guide you through a long repair process, providing frank and helpful advice along the way.

Today, the 5.15 still works as it did when it was new, over two years ago. Nothing else has been diminished, and nothing else has shown wear. When things have gone wrong, Keys has provided us with good customer service. Overall, we’re happy with our experience, and we’ll probably buy a Smooth treadmill next time.
