We all want to lose weight but when it is freezing outside, do you really want to go for a walk? If you don't then you may be looking for something like the Sole F80 Treadmill. This treadmill is one of the more popular ones on the market today but is it worth the rather large price that you have to pay?
Good Points
There are several good points relating to this treadmill.
1. First of all, it has the best warranty you can get for a treadmill. While it is expensive, you get an astonishing 30-year warranty on the motor, 30 years on the deck, lifetime on the frame, and five years for the electronics, belt and the rollers. In addition, you get a two year warranty on labor.
2. The belt and deck are also quite large. Usually you will get a belt that is 17 by 50 inches, but the Sole F80 Treadmill has a belt that is 20 by 50 inches, a good size.
3. The machine is extremely quiet, which is a big plus if you happen to live in an apartment building.
4. It has some features you will find on no other treadmills including arm rests that have speed and incline controls. You can also enter your weight and age and get custom readouts on your progress.
5. It can fold into a small space, again making it perfect for apartments.
Bad Points
Now this wouldn't be a fair review if we did not go over the things that are not so great about the Sole F80 Treadmill.
1. First of all, it weighs a lot. It comes in at 250 pounds and that is more than the average treadmill.
2. It is very expensive for a treadmill, coming in at ,500 when many treadmills come in at 0.
3. It is rated for a maximum weight of 335 pounds. There are other treadmills that are rated for higher maximum weights.
4. The machine has short handles so it is not good for the elderly or anyone who will have trouble with the handles.
Overall Impression
Yes this treadmill is expensive, but that expensive cost is more than made up for by the warranty that simply cannot be beat. Many people feel that the warranty alone is worth purchasing this treadmill. When you buy this treadmill, you know you are getting something that will work for life.
In addition, while there are some restrictions on it like the short handles and weight restrictions, it is easy to use and easy to put away. One of the biggest problems with treadmills is that they are too large and that keeps anyone who lives in a condo or apartment building from owning one. The Sole F80 Treadmill fixes this by folding up and being extremely quiet.
Forgetting about the price, this is a treadmill you should purchase. If you can afford it, you will find the warranty offsets the higher price and you will find this treadmill one of the best on the market.
