Sole F80 - Treadmill Review
The Sole F80 Treadmill is one of Sole's newest 2011 models, currently being sold for around ,299. This model is an improvement over last year's model by including an updated list of features, while maintaining the characteristics that have made this line one of the industry's most popular. So should you purchase this treadmill? Here are some of the treadmill's strengths and weaknesses to help you decide.
STRENGTHS:
Powerful 3.0 HP Continuous Duty Motor
The most powerful motor you can find in this price range. This allows for speeds from.5 to 11 miles per hour. The wide range accommodates most users from novice walkers to more serious runners.
Large 60" Running Surface
This is one of the largest running surfaces for the price, and the 2011 model adds the Cushion Flex shock absorption. The new model reduces sound while improving comfort ability.
7.5 inch Display
The new large display includes windows for speed, incline, time, distance traveled, calories, pulse, and pace. The display also has a quarter mile track with a peak-and-valley graph for different programs.
MP3 Media Player
The treadmill includes an integrated sound system for listening to an MP3 player of your choosing. This is achieved through built-in-speakers and a sound cord that connects through your player's headphone jack.
WEAKNESS:
Although the Sole F80 Treadmill has the ability to fold, this model is not portable. The F80 weighs in at a hefty 250 pounds. Luckily, what owners sacrifice in portability, they gain in durability. Sole treadmills are well known for their solid construction and strong deck.
THE BOTTOM LINE:
Sole has provided another impressive model with the 2011 version of the F80. This treadmill features a 3.0 horsepower motor, a large running surface, a 7.5 inch display and a media player. The Sole F80 is quiet, powerful, and most of all, useful. The Sole F80 is clearly one of the industry's best values.
