Sole F85

Runs great as advertised. Price was in the range of what you would expect for a good home treadmill for running. I was a little worried about having a 380 Lb. packaged delivered to my door, but it worked… out just fine. Had the box placed in my living room, cut it open, read the assembly directions, assembled and rolled it to its home location, without assistance....and it did start to run when the key was inserted. No special tools are required to assemble. Have a broom handy to sweep up the belt dust and start off slowly, because it's not like running outdoors.

We've had our Sole F-85 for 4 years now and it's been a huge disappointment, especially given the pricetag. But since Sole has refused to refund our money ("sorry, your one year warranty expired 4 days… ago") or replace the one we have, we're stuck with it. We've had numerous repairman here over these years to fix the same ongoing problem....the belt will just come to a dead stop while we're running on it. Not only is this dangerous, but being treadmill-less for lengths of time is quite aggravating particularly since we shelled out $2,244 for this piece. It's needed a new board (the treadmill's CPU) for every year we've had it (seriously, it now needs a 4th), although we've maintained it (lubricated it etc) exactly per the owners manual. My husband whimsically purchased this treadmill without researching first which has proven detrimental. Currently, Sole is in the process of sending us yet ANOTHER board, and with it, more repair bills. Obviously, this is our last Sole product.

We did tons of research on treadmills, and Sole got hands down the best reviews. People were telling the truth--it is great. Works for me, a 150-lb woman, and for my 260-lb 6ft1 boyfriend. Also, my mom… called customer service for something, and a real live English-speaking person answered the phone. Hooray! Seriously this products is great. The treadmill weighs an absolute ton, but is very sturdy and great. I highly recommend it.
