When I found out that the Sole F80 was the treadmill choice of the Hilton Hotels and many other upscale establishments, I wanted to see why. I knew if high-end establishments have put their stamps of approval on a machine it had to be an excellent piece of exercise equipment.
My first impression of the machine was that it was a solid commercial quality treadmill. At first I didn’t think it was anything fancy. But, first assumptions are often wrong. The Sole F80 is packed with some interesting features like six workout programs, cooling fans, and speed and incline controls in the arm rests, as well as built in speakers for MP3 players or iPODS. Pretty impressive!
As solid and durable as the machine is, the Sole F80 comes with an easy assist folding feature. This is ideal for someone who wants the machine in their home. I found the machine to be easy to push around and maneuver, too. This is great for someone who needs to put their treadmill in a closet or corner after a workout. My opinion is the Sole F80 is a space saver and it would make a great home treadmill for someone who is in the market for one.
I learned that the Sole F80 model was upgraded in 2008 and it now comes with a powerful 3.0 continuous duty motor. The motor is very quiet and the machine is very smooth. It can easily handle a person up to 350 pounds with bogging down or straining the motor. I should note that this machine is for someone who walks or jogs. Serious runners should probably look for a machine that has a little more horsepower.
Sole Fitness is known for its outstanding warranties. The warranty on the Sole F80 is well above par offering a lifetime warranty on the motor, frame and deck. The price of the Sole F80 is less than what I would have thought, considering the durability, features and warranty that comes with the machine. Add the $500 instant savings when you purchase the machine directly from Sole Fitness, and I see why the Sole F80 is the number one choice for the Hilton Hotel chain and others. It’s a great treadmill.
