Sole F80 Treadmill Review

Is this for you:

The Sole F80 treadmill is yet another solid model by this manufacturer. Sole Fitness has made an excellent valued treadmill with an overall good package. By putting together good components with a long warranty, Sole treadmills are setting themselves apart from the market. They made the right move in improve their models while keeping its price the same.

Compared to the F63, the Sole F80 treadmill has a few upgrades. A stronger motor, more workout programs, and a better warranty are examples of this. But the Easy fold assist is perhaps the best upgrade over the F63 Sole.

Other models that comes close is Smooth treadmills, but this one is more stable and offers more features.

Key Features:

The Sole F80 treadmill features one touch speed and incline buttons to jump straight to your desired speed/incline. It also features the low impact Cushion flex deck with a Safety Lock Deck design that locks the deck into place when the treadmill is folded in the upright position.

The Sole F80 treadmill has an Easy Assist Folding Deck Design to easily lower the treadmill’s deck. Its 20 x 55 inch belt is a good size while the 3.0 HP motor can deliver speeds up to 11 mph and inclines up to 15%.

The F80 Sole has one of the strongest warranty in its price range with lifetime on frame and motor, 5 years on the electronics/belt/rollers and 2 years on labor.

Looking at its decks, the Cushion Flex Decks offered on all Sole treadmills allow for low impact, joint friendly workouts. The Whisper Decks
 have a phenolic coating to make them smooth, quiet and durable.

One key component that is not often talked about is Sole treadmills’ rollers. These rollers are top of the line that you would find on a high end treadmill. The larger the roller, the larger the contact surface is against the belt; which results in a longer roller and belt life.

Final verdict:

The Sole F80 treadmill has it all. A strong warranty, high powered motor, numerous features and reliable parts. We strongly recommend this model.

As mentioned earlier, this is one of the best treadmills priced under $1500. They are currently offering free shipping on any treadmill purchase.
