For tall or frequent runners -- who might be too demanding for even the top-ranked Sole F80 ( *Est. $1,500) -- reviewers recommend paying an extra $250 to step up to the Sole F85. It adds a more powerful 3.5-horsepower motor and a longer 60-inch running surface to the Sole F80's award-winning list of features. The F85 also goes faster (12 mph versus 11 mph) and can handle a heavier user (400 pounds versus 350 pounds) than the F80. Experts can't find much fault with the F85: They say it's quiet, sturdy, folds easily and includes an impressive warranty (lifetime motor, deck and frame; five years electronics, belt, rollers and labor; and two years in-home service).
If you plan to run hard on your treadmill every day, experts recommend an even heavier-duty machine such as the Landice L7 Pro Sports Trainer ( *Est. $3,500).
