I have waited so long to get a new treadmill. My first one was a Sears model (2003) that held up pretty well but let's just say when I decided to get serious about running (not walking) that I needed a treadmill that was up to that challenge!!!! I spent a month reading treadmill reviews.......
I had the AWESOME delivery man put this GIGANTIC box in my garage where days later my husband and I lifted it out to get it to the next room (6 ft away). IT WAS VERY HEAVY and LARGE in EVERY WAY and I am NOT WEAK but let me say once more IT WAS VERY HEAVY so be prepared for that.
Assembly: I am not a rocket scientist but I got the treadmill assembled all by myself and did not need help..... I just went slow and remembered from another reviewer that I should put all screws in but wait to tighten until the end and everything worked out fine. I also took special care with the console wires and was careful not to pinch them with the screws as they basically are "inside/outside" the upper handle areas.
I was missing my chest strap and the rail was damaged in shipping but Sole was EXCELLENT about getting me replacement parts and I had NO HASSLE from them AT ALL:)
After using the F80 I found it has a very sturdy frame, nice strong motor with a consistent speed (the other brand I had would speed up if I did and I could slow it down with my pace without actually decreasing speed on the unit itself).
I WISH I could have one touch speed buttons numbered 1,2,3,4 etc..... for MPH instead of 2mph increments but I know this model wasn't built for me personally so you can't have everything.
There really isn't anything BAD about this treadmill...... I LOVE IT ! It has tons of features, cooling fans, holders for pretty much anything you can use during a workout. It is pretty quiet - I watch television when I run (most of the time) and don't have to turn the t.v. up too much more (compared to my old treadmill).
Amazon had FREE delivery and with the store card it was NO interest, NO payments for 12 months which was a BONUS for me and why I finally took the plunge to get this treadmill and I AM SOOOOOOO HAPPY I DID !!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU CANNOT BEAT SOLE'S WARRANTY and it is nice to not have any worries for a while. The only other treadmill I considered was the SMOOTH brand but SOLE won in the end.
I am glad I spent a little more for a quality treadmill and I HOPE this one performs the way it does today for YEARS to come !!!!!Get more detail about Sole F80 Treadmill.
