An updated version of the popular Smooth 9.15 treadmill, the 9.17 offers an upgraded motor and redesigned electronics console. The powerful 3 HP motor delivers quiet, consistent performance and, especially important for exercisers with leg muscle or joint problems, the shock absorption deck provides plenty of cushioning for a comfortable walk or run. The treadmill's console offers 6 different preset workout routines and stores profile information for up to 9 different users. This is a treadmill that the whole family can make use of.

The Smooth 9.17 HRO is a feature-rich home treadmill that should provide years of fun workouts.
