Sole F80 Treadmill (2011 Model) |
The Sole F80 Treadmill (2011) is the best quality treadmill in its price range according to many fitness experts and magazines; my opinion is not different either.
This is a solid upgrade of Sole F63 which is an entry level treadmill, the Sole F80 isn’t like other treadmills made by some other brands with in the same price range and this machine is what a home treadmill should be.
Sole F80 is reliable, built with high quality components, and has many useful features to help you during your cardio workout.
It has a 3.0 horse power motor, wireless heart rate monitor and really good incline ability (up to %15).
On the other hand the Sole F80’s price seems a bit high at first but unlike other treadmill that you can by for $500, it is a real treadmill designed and built to last for ever.
Also, with other treadmills with in the same price range ($1000-$1500) the Sole F80 has the most powerful motor, great incline ability and the longest warranty. It has life time warranty on frame and motor and 5 year warranty on electronics.
On the console, you can track your workout while you’re on the machine, they put all the readouts you need at a glance like speed, incline, calories, time, distance traveled, etc.

There are some additional things on the Sole F80 that makes this treadmill even better:

| Folding Deck |

If you ask what Sole F80 does not have I can not find anything, the 2009 models do not have heart rate controlled workout but with 2011 models you have 2 heart rate controlled workouts.
So my opinion is if you want a good, safe treadmill with life time warranty and great price, so get the Sole Fitness F80 Treadmill on sale w/ free shipping.
