Sole F85 Treadmill Customer Reviews

Worth Every Penny!
I purchased the Sole F85 treadmill on 6/25/08 directly from Sole and took advantage of the free shipping they offer. They shipped it out the next day and I received it on 7/1/08 in perfect condition. It was incredibly easy to put together, it took about 30 minutes to do. I've used it everyday since it arrived. I walk 4-5 miles per day at 8-10 degree incline and so far no worries. I used to get terrible shin splints with my old treadmill at half the speed and no incline but since I've started walking on this machine I haven't had a single twinge of pain. No regrets on this purchase what so ever!

The only negatives I can really come up with are the built in fans and H.R. display. Because I'm only 5' tall the fans can't be adjusted low enough to hit me. No biggie. The other thing is the with the H.R. display. When I wear my Polar H.R. monitor it comes up on the LCD display but is inaccurate. Off by up to +20 bpm in comparison to the Polar H.R. setup I wear. Since I use a Polar monitor it really isn't an issue with me but could be an issue for others.

Absolutely the Best Machine!!!
Bought this machine after doing a lot of research. The reviews are right on the money - this is absolutely the best machine in its price category and it has no problem competing with machines that are twice as much. I would not hesitate to buy another product from Sole to add to my home gym - the company is great, the customer service is great, the warranty is great, and most of all the company stands behind its products. I bought my machine straight from the company's website - which I would recommend to qualify for free shipping. If you are serious about having a quality piece of equipment but can't afford a machine that costs 5-7k any Sole product will fit the bill and come with a better warranty then any of those more expensive models.

Great Treadmills for Runners !
F85 treadmill is a great value for money treadmill for serious runners. I clock over 25 miles per week and it has held up well for 3 months now. I am using it to train for my first marathon.I like the long belt and the 3.5HP for this price is a steal as compared to other treadmills with similar features.
