Sole F80 Treadmill Consumer Review -

by Cathy Barnard
(Atikokan, ON Canada)

I read many reviews and ratings, on many different treadmills. I finally made the decision to go with the Sole F80 treadmill. I am very happy I did. This is a great machine. It's solid, well made, and user friendly. It's definitely a heavy piece of equipment, but this is expected in order for it to be solid and stable. I've read complaints about the speakers, but I have no problem. I'm not looking for a home stereo system on my treadmill, just something to get me through an hour workout. The tray down low, to hold water bottles, is definitely too low to use while running on the treadmill, but there is room up top to put your water bottle. I just use the lower rack to store a couple of extra water bottles, and I put the heart rate chest strap there, when I'm done my workout. The fans are weak, but I didn't base my purchase on the fans. My focus was on purchasing a very well made treadmill, that has a great warranty, and is going to last me a long time. I don't know that a person will ever find anything 100% perfect to everything they would like to have in a treadmill, but this is pretty darn close. I am so happy with this purchase, and have no regrets at all. I highly recommend the Sole F80 treadmill.
