Sole F83 Treadmill Review

Norwood and I used to be avid walkers. I would walk to work in Boulder and walk home each day (about four miles round trip). Lately though we have become a little lazy. We have tried various different types of exercise equipment to get us moving and burning calories but none seemed to actually keep up interested for more than a couple of week and end up just sitting in a vacant room or being given away. One piece of equipment however has lasted for six years our treadmill. Until recently we had an old Horizon treadmill that moved with us from Colorado. This year it started to finally show its age. The elevation stopped working, after about an hour (sometimes half an hour) it would completely stop. So we decided to invest a little more than the $800 we spent six years ago and get a new treadmill. After lots of research we decided on the Sole F83 Treadmill (2009 Model). It is an amazing treadmill! It is the one that the Hilton Hotel will use in their fitness centers. It has a 3 horsepower motor. Will rise in elevation to 12 and goes 12 miles an hour. It is surprisingly quite for as big as it is. With the Horizon we always had to turn the TV up more to hear over the treadmill, not so with the F80. The control panel is easy to use and see and you can also control the speed and the elevation from the side grips.



The best part about the Sole F83 Treadmill (2009 Model) are the warranties that they offer. .. the motor, deck and frame have a lifetime warranty. The electronics and the wear components (the belt) have a 5 year warranty and many have said that Sole will honor their warranties without hassle.



We both highly recommend this treadmill. If you are a runner or just a walker like me you will find it easy to do an hour on this treadmill. Although you are looking at spending around $1800 for it the deck alone is worth the extra money you will spend on this compared to the cheap ones you can often find in department stores. It has a cushion deck which helps to absorb some of the shock of walking and running on your knees. So far it is well worth the money. Oh and one little tip if you do get one… you are going to need some room. Although it can go against a wall it is very large so check out the dimensions and measure your intended space before purchase.
