Sole F80 Treadmill Review

Sole F63 Treadmill

The Sole F80 Treadmill has been reviewed as "Simply the best quality treadmill in its price range".

A solid upgrade from the entry level folding treadmill from Sole (the Sole F63 Treadmill) the Sole F80 isn't one of those cut rate machines made infamous by Proform or Nordictrack - no, the Sole F80 is what a home treadmill should be.

It's reliable, it's built with high quality components, and it actually has useful features that help you during your workout like wireless heart rate monitoring a powerful 3.0 horse power motor and a massive 15% incline ability.

Sure, you can't get a Sole F80 treadmill for $600 bucks, that's because Sole decided early on to only make treadmills that are built to last. Not like that other crap that will breakdown after 10 hours of use (ever done a search for Proform treadmill parts on a search engine?)...

Lesser treadmills from other manufacturers in the $1000-1500 price range have weak motors with a short 90 day warranty which says a lot about the quality you're getting, but not the Sole F80 - it has a strong 3.0 HP motor that delivers challenging speeds up to 10 mph and inclines up to 15%.

To track your workout while you're on the machine, Sole smartly put all the readouts you need at a glance which include: Speed, Incline, Time, Distance Traveled, Calories, Pulse and Pace.

There's also a cool 1/4 mile track feature so you can visually keep pace and know exactly where you are during your workout.

Key features of the Sole F63 treadmill:

• 3.0 HP Continuous Duty, DC type Motor
• 15% maximum, rack and pinion gear design
• Wireless Chest Strap Heart Rate Monitor
• 33 X 75 - Phenolic Deck
• 20" x 55" live running area
• Lifetime frame warranty
• 20 year motor warranty

There are two additional features on the Sole F80 that makes this treadmill the best in its' class.

The first is the lockable folding feature that's a necessity if you have kids like me that get into everything. You don't have to worry about them pulling down the deck and turning on the machine as soon as you leave the room.

The other feature of the Sole that can't be overlooked is the low price with free shipping right to your door. This treadmill is a bonafied bargain that may get overlooked in a sea of overpriced junk that floods the market each year.

There's only one thing you won't find on the Sole F80 and that's heart rate controlled workouts. It's not a deal killer, but if being able to control the treadmill from a wireless heart rate strap is important to you, check out the Sole F85 Treadmill as a good alternative to the F80.
